Don't disagree, just looking at it from the Lord Farquaad point of view, "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make". I think space exploration is good and if we have to burn a few billionaires to get there, I am sanguine.
Eh, perhaps mission is a bit much, with the military connotations, but they are testing some valid hypotheses, like will high radiation render billionaires sterile/cancer ridden and will an untested spacesuit kill one. Worthy in my mind.
Morbid humour aside, it's not totally a joyride, could be worse.
Ah, another well-thought-out tech law from OzGov in the vein of such hits as 'The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia' and the AssAct. I swear we're the designated test ground for dodgy laws for the five (7,13,etc) eyes...
A 16Tb manufacturer recertified drive is USD160 which should sort storage (and later get a second for offline backup). I'm actually holding out until I get GPU encode (apparently CPU is somewhat better, but power considerations, maybe next gen). Do wish the scene would get on with switching, though, are we dinosaurs?
No idea, I was just using it to illustrate the existence of compromised exit nodes, which to my mind are a pretty fatal flaw in TOR, perhaps someone knowledgeable can chime in.
No, but EmuDeck does, along with RetroArch... Best have a look before starting.
More power to you if you want to strike out on your own, but you may find it quicker going to join a larger project at this stage, you'll have people to ask questions to, if you choose well you'll learn best (or good) practices, etc. Maybe EmuDeck itself? In the end the language doesn't matter much (maybe avoid Perl, PHP and JavaScript at the start), once you get the concepts down it's easy to switch to another. You've got time, take some to skill up.
Compromised ? Maybe, but this guy doesn't provide any evidence one way or the other. He's using at least 7 other possible vectors (apparently Calculator Photo Vault just hides the gallery, no encryption, so it's over right there) which is way too many for good opsec.
including Proton Drive ...
