  • I wonder how does this even works out in simple terms, like if a dev finds out that their creds have been stolen and published they would know that their system is compromised, so they have to reinstall the whole system locally? If they just change the password the worm is still rhere so it will steal the new password as well. But even if they would reinstall the whole system the worm is still somewhere there in the repo and will find it’s way back again, so what are the mitigations in such a case?


  • I can’t find that picture (it was anothet textbook cover probably) but imagine the students gear as a long cylindrical gear, and the two other as shorter gears, so when you move say the parents gear it would move the students gear and that in turn will move the teachers gear and it would look fine from the side but looks impossible from the front



  • Yes BB seems to be the closest option but in order to unlock it’s bootloader you also need to authorize on some manufacturer’s site which is (to my understanding) a concern in the “consumer’s right to repair” way - if I can’t upgrade a system after its support ends the phone becomes e-waste, and giving your phone number, name, email address to the Chinese government is at least questionable from privacy standpoint. I could be exaggerating though


  • Exectly my thoughts recently! My smartphone is starting to show some problems with its screen and it’s a Xiaomi device which makes it very hard/unpleasant to get root access to reinstall the OS (you have to download a windows app and use it to share your data and reasons for voiding your contract by asking to get root access) so I thought maybe there are non-touchscreen smartphones and when I tried looking for one I only got dumb phone suggestions and I realized that such a phone would have to have a specific version of Android that is not designed around touchscreen technology. I’m not sure what I want, but the options seem to be polar extremes without a middle ground option, something between a smartphone and a dumbphone that will be helpful in detoxifying from doom scrolling and yet still usable for productive activities.

    I really hope that in the near future we’ll see some change in the direction towards smartphones that are not made only for watching videos, playing games, but to some combinations of useful ideas from both dumb and smartphones, like having a decent screen to be able to use maps and with also a “mechanical” keyboard or smth. But then again physical keys will have problems like if they would be made from cheap plastic, there always will be downsides…




  • Same here for the past few weeks. It’s really hot and humid, I’m having hay fever, my kitten keeps waking me up, can’t do anything during the day with all the brain fog and fatigue, can’t fall asleep at night. Yesterday fell asleep during the day for unknown period for the first time in years, felt so much worse. They say it’s the hottest year again and also the peak of solar activity





  • To the contrary, lacto fermentation increases concentration of vitamins in food:

    “Fermentation is indeed a process which allows an increase of content of some vitamins in food. For instance, over the last decades microbial fermentation has been increasingly investigated as a valuable alternative for natural folate (vitamin B9) production, and as a sustainable technology based on renewable resources [25].”

    “diverse functional food components in the developed fermented cucumbers, such as active peptides, free amino acids, organic acids, oligosaccharides, exopolysaccharides, and vitamins may increase, but detrimental microbes, oxidants, and hypersensitivities may decrease and eliminate using innovative fermentation processing technologies (Liu, Wang, & Deng, 2023).”

    Basically the lactobacilus and other beneficial bacteria eat primarily the carbohydrates, they don’t consume vitamins
