Unless they have a monopoly

Did you... watch the video? You act as if he's bashing the fediverse or isn't a strong supporter of it

Just use silica gel packets

Please do not use exfat on anything critical. It is slow as hell, it does not have journal or CoW to ensure consistency on unintended shutdown, and is designed to be extremely simple to implement, not robust. Good for flash drives and sd cards, but not normal storage.

I'm quite surprised it wasn't seized by customs with how blatantly obviously it contains seeds

That's not what the commenter said and I think you are knowingly misrepresenting it.

It blows my mind that people who correctly identify the reasons the war on drugs is a failure seem to expect the same policies and logic to work on guns.

It can play local files or videos from url (and even has experimental support for YouTube), much like VLC, so as long as you have the files for the anime, yes. I prefer it because Im learning Japanese and like to use the dictionary lookups on the subtitles as I watch the anime. Though if this isn't something you have a use for, VLC or mpv will get the job done fine.

It can handle websites like filejoker and nitroflare, which are behind captchas and things like mega that require JavaScript or an API to serve downloads

Lol, that sentence sure describes The Register in general

How is this relevant to the technology community?

They have the money and resources to comply with it, but any small competitor won't. So Microsoft will gain even more dominance in the market

Cuomo and Trump are the same side: corrupt New York businessmen with political influence and 90% the same opinions on things that meaningfully matter.

They might be bad economicly, but they have good coverage of topics pertaining to civil liberties.

I'm not really sure what to think of this. On one hand, the way I see it, AI deep fakes are essentially a form of defamation, and can harm people by in a way being a false rumour about their sexual life. However, public figures are subject to a much higher standard for defamation, and for a very good reason, else there would be a strong chilling effect on satire, parody, and criticism.

In general I think that deepfakes are only wrong (defamatory) if a reasonable person couldn't easily distinguish them from reality, so obvious fake stuff doesn't count. But for those that are, where is the line drawn for public figures? It is unfortunate that many people can't choose whether to become a public figure, but it is essential to a functional society that freedom of the press and free expression be lenient when it comes to satirical, critical, creative, and even indecent works related to them. But this is of course not absolute.

Both are true. Brute forcing zips is also faster than brute forcing almost anything else. Other formats use key derivation functions like PBKDF2-SHA1 (hundreds of thousands of iterations of sha1) to slow down the calculation of the key from the password, but PKZIP does not do this. Brute forcing zips can be done at 10 billion passwords per second on a typical GPU, whereas rar/7z/keepass are only a few thousand per second.

Here's an interesting research paper describing both the known plaintext attack and the standard brute force attack https://www.scitepress.org/Papers/2019/73605/73605.pdf

Zip uses very bad encryption that is vulnerable to a known plaintext attack. Do not ever use PKZIP encryption for any purpose https://github.com/kimci86/bkcrack

When you want the private network to connect to a public IPv6 network. Most people connect their LANs to the public Internet

A lot of the world, especially Africa and south America, was somewhat later in adopting the Internet and has a much smaller supply of IPv4 addresses. People with ISPs there need IPv6 to be directly connectable without CGNAT
