Yea that didn't happen either when people were warned about false information online...

Maybe it's an issue of weatherproofing, or maybe vandalism?

blackbirdbiryani , 1 month ago to Memes in Last one, i've been farming Ai for memes but last one with lore

That's a featured snippet, so not AI at all.

blackbirdbiryani , 2 months ago to linuxmemes in Man pages bad

Agreed, in any context where I'd open man I'd rather tldr instead. If you needed to read chunks of documentation like in man I'd rather just google the docs instead than clunkily try to read in terminal.

Man live coding interviews sound like a nightmare to me.

blackbirdbiryani , 3 months ago to Technology in A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions

At that point why not use TSV?

I work with genetic data and this sort of stuff is trivially easy to do in an automated way. They could easily run your variants against a known database such as clinvar and broadly deny insurance for a particular pathology if they wanted to.

If they had access to your non-pathogenic variants it also becomes trivially easy to ID you, as non pathogenic variants tend to be random so more likely to ID a person/sample.

Rclone is superior IMHO, you have to explicitly name the output folder. Used to think it was a hassle but in hindsight being explicit about the destination reduces mistakes.

I use GNU find every day and still have to google about the details. Only learnt about - delete the other day, good to know the position matters.

blackbirdbiryani , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in What is your preferred method for backing up several TB of data?

Wouldn't syncing automatically every few days give you the same protection though?

blackbirdbiryani , 4 months ago to Technology in Passkeys might really kill passwords

Only if you're specifically targeted. I know enough regex to know that nobody is going to bother trying to parse known passwords to identify patterns like that when there's a billion suckers who use 'password123' for their bank accounts.

As long as the pattern is not super predictable, and aren't dictionary words, nobody is brute forcing that.

If its Boeing I ain't landing doesn't have the same ring.
