Even if you manage to keep your VPS clean as a whistle of offending logs, your VPS host can log all incoming IP addresses.

I think this is a great idea but very difficult to safely implement.

Yeah and they explained this to them several times apparently. Really disappointing.

I still remember unreal tournament 3. They promised a Linux version so I prepaid then they cancelled it at the last second, refused to elaborate, the dev they paid was under NDA and then had the audacity to refuse refunds.

I have very little faith anything will come of this.

In five years once this RAM nonsense is over you’ll be able to run a comparatively high quality local LLM for very little money. I can’t see how these companies will ever make their money back.

Wow. I never heard about that one. I do recall some distributed community attempt at breaking (I think) 64 bit DES around that time. It used spare CPU cycles and I had it running on my Pentium 2 machine.

Was DES still widely used at that point do you recall? I had AES in my head for SSL and the like.

Yeah, I went on holidays to the US and got the 128 bit plugin for what was probably Netscape (the precursor to Firefox) and it was very clear during the download process that it wasn’t to be taken outside the US. It was considered a weapon if memory serves me.

Anyway not long after the rest of the world caught up and it looked silly in hindsight so here we are.

Edit: just to add some context on the “weapon” thing… The other standard was either 56 or 64 bit and it was secure enough at the time given compute capabilities but it was also clear that it would be crackable in time whereas 128 bit has a very long shelf life even with modern capabilities, as long as the algorithm was good (and it was / is)

Reminds me of the US trying to prevent the rest of the world getting 128 bit encryption back in the 90s.

Depends where you live in fairness.

Edit: on the money front only. The rest is definitely correct.

Some of the larger disposables do have a charging port. I guess it allows them ship a smaller battery which is good

I got you fam

Someone decompiled it and there’s now versions of it available on the play store and other places. It is a real blast from the past.

Feels like a risky click. I’m not sure my worldview can take any more shattering. It’s already shattered I tell you. SHATTERED.

The Riva line were absolute bangers tbh. Mad props to the driver developers who were always playing catch-up on the hardware (mad props to the hardware designers implied) but always delivered the goods. I honestly hope they’re rich AF.

Ireland has Gaelic football too so you have to figure out from context which football is being referred to.

We even play against the Aussies at a mix of the two football types occasionally which is called international rules.

Their lads are fucking massive as they play it professionally while Gaelic football is strictly amateur (all the money gets pumped back into local clubs which generally end up being very nice as a result).

It must be the 1% of the 1% of many fanbases.

Whenever Ireland are in a world cup, people start saving from the qualifiers so the rich are definitely there but it’s die hard footie fans that make up the bulk traveling.

It’s hard to overestimate just how much some people love the beautiful game. I remember the 2002 world cup which was in Korea / Japan and myself and my mates were getting up at unholy hours to watch all while murdering beers and screaming at the TV and I’m not even that into football.

What client are you using?

Had to look this one up. Hitchhiker’s guide character for others like me…

Slartibartfast is a Magrathean and a designer of planets.[2] His favourite part of the job is creating coastlines, the most notable of which are the fjords found on the coast of Norway on planet Earth,[3] for which he won an award.

leaving it behind isn’t as easy as they say it is.

He very much feels like Goebbels / Himmler to me. Amazes me that he feels straight up in the right but I guess they both did too.
