You're using teams. Modern teams is built on Skype, which is why it's shit.

Ah, the optical illusion approach. It's a sweet pic, thanks for sharing.

OK, I'll bite - how did you not get reflected in the mirror at the end of the hallway?

Actually, MythBusters proved that one couldn't happen, unless the bullets were sub-sonic or low-powered and the diver was within 1 or 2 foot of the surface... water's just too dense and depletes the power. And something higher power just made a big splash and bits of shrapnel that didn't have much penetrating power.

You mean 2^267,709^?

Funny... that's a phone number I know.

I went with floorp, because it allowed native title bar disabling, with task bar editing so I could inject a grab handle; vertical tabs in sidebery, and a clean, nearly-ui-free vertical.

I've nothing against the page having more technical farther down the page... I've done that with some computing articles that I'm qualified to talk about - simplify the description for the layman, put the technical description underneath...

Math nerds just don't.

There's a lot of misinformation in this thread. Sure, they broke 22-bit RSA encryption. But here's the thing - that's proof that a suitably large quantum computer can break any size RSA encryption in the same amount of time it took to break 22-bit RSA encryption.

Because of the way the annealing process works, it's a known-time process, no matter how many inputs or q-bits are used. We don't have the ability to create a computer with sufficient q-bits to break anything more than 22-bit at the moment, but current estimates are that in 10 - 15 years we will have enough to break 1024-bit.

And it'll take the same amount of time as this 22-bit process took.

And that basically means we need new encryption processes within 10-15 years, that are quantum safe, or all our encryption is belong to whoever has these quantum computers.

 

So I'm looking for a new client, specifically mobile, that's FOSS, easy to use, allows for browsing communities on other instances easily (not just searching for instances, but actually viewing the list of instances, etc).

I'm a dev, so happy to put some legwork into it myself. So my question is - technically, is the UI tied to being run on an instance "directly", or could it be detached, electron- or atom-ified and put into an app?

I can do the work, but before starting I'd like to know :⁠-⁠)

 

So I'm looking to build my own CM4-based NAS appliance. I figure that I've got the time to build it, and it'll be cheaper, more powerful and more capable than an off-the-shelf appliance (such as a QNAP or Synology device).

I'm looking to use it for self-hosting, probably 2 - 4 SSD's to run it (Happy to spend the money on the drives, as I can spread that out over time)... will likely start with a relatively cheap 2tib 2.5" SSD like the Crucial BX500 and scale up as I go...

I'd like a relatively neat box - something like the Argon EON. I'd like to use the CM4 because it's got the PCI-E so you can use a relatively full-speed ACPI interface to the SATA ports, which rules out the Argon EON (Except, possibly, as a donor case). I don't have a 3D Printer, but I'd be happy to purchase a printed model from a makers group or similar. I'm happy to actually build up a unit (setting up fans, etc.) but I've no soldering experience whatsoever.

Software-wise, I've already got a RPI4 which I've been playing around with... Seems pretty good, and I had pi-hole running on it for a while (until SD card unreliability took it down).

Does anyone have any experience with a build like this? Any advice on what cases to use, what hats for the PCIE-to-SATA work best? Anything at all, really, that you'd advise?
