Subatomic particles act in insane ways that are absolutely not mechanical or predictible. A very limited size of object behaves "normally". I think believing that the universe mostly acts like our everyday objects is the skewed perspective.

It claims to reflect radiating heat from the sun and blacktop in a way bare skin doesn't. The same principal as wearing white, billowy clothing in deserts rather than just being naked.

It's renewable on the timeframe of tens of years as opposed to millions of years for crude oil. The carbon released from trees was sequestered not that long ago. It's still not clean to burn but it is distinct from fossil fuels in its origin and impact.

The potential for distros optimized for specific tasks without needing to swap out entire kernels. A "gaming" focused scheduler probably looks different from a big data cruncher or a super multi-tasker server.

I trade finding bugs for treats. Cat tracks and alerts, I catch or kill, and cat gets a snack. Everyone wins and no one gets bitten, stung, or weird parasites.

Import tariffs and service bans are definitely pretty wonky with dubious benefits, but I can understand the export concerns. Exporting tech that can be used in weapons directly to a country that is threatening a highly strategic ally (Taiwan) is a bad move. Yes they'll get them elsewhere or make them, but you won't have the US government and a US company directly profiting off the destruction of an ally.

Are you concerned about sensitive data leaving the PC or some sort of infection (like a crypto-locker) being brought onto it? Also, what is your threat level? Are you likely to be targeted specifically?

With an airgap, it would be pretty difficult to get data off of it without being onsite. The most important things would be physically securing the device (locked room), using full disk encryption, and using some sort of 2-factor login system. (hardware security key, like a yubikey ideally).

Securing against infection is nearly impossible, as stuxnet showed. Your best bet to beat these is some common sense security with what you're transferring and lots of backups. If you do find an infection, you just blow the whole system up and restore from a clean backup.

Yep Lemmy uses SMTP and in my experience most self-hostable platforms do as well. You can see in the Lemmy config documents how it gets set up: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/configuration.html.

Made with Gtk4, WebKitGTK, libadwaita and Flatpak.

WebKit based, which is interesting. I don't have much experience with WebKit on Linux.

And as far as I an tell, unlicensed. There at least isn't one in the mercurial repo or on the site anywhere I can find. I would definitely not recommend using unlicensed code in anything other than a personal use only project.

Uhh, based on the website I don't think anyone should really be using this. http://www.luan.software/why.html

It starts fairly normal, takes a turn towards religious, takes a further turn into far right, then goes on for a bit of orientalism, then goes back to tech stuff.

There aren't any links in that post and I can't find any related repositories when I search. Is this a real project or just theoretical?
