To add onto this, if you really wanted to rebase and don’t want config file clashes, you can use ostree config-diff after rebasing to show what config files changed. You can also simply remove all the files in /etc, and on the next boot, ostree will re-populate it with the contents of /usr/etc in a three way merge. Just be sure to copy, at bare minimum, /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, and /etc/fstab otherwise it’ll be very awkward when you try to boot again and your boot process fails because it doesn’t automatically mount your disks and you can’t login because you have no users. It’s kinda cool tho, that, at least for this very specific issue, those 3 files might not be needed if/when systemd-homed’s JSON User Records and Discoverable Partitions see wider adoption.
(Note: this is dumb and error prone, and you should absolutely do what the other commenter said)
In early 2019 bittorrent’s website views fluctuated between ~6M to ~9M. Now it’s around 3M to 4M.
In early 2019 utorrent’s visits fluctuated between ~26M to ~75M. Now it sits around 25M to 21M.
The fact that there were far more captures in early 2019 for both of them might be an indication that this was their peak, and while visits have reduced since then they’re far from dying.
Streaming services may be part of the reason, though I also think it’s because many games and software have switched to freemium & microtransactions so spending money is optional, along with the fact that free and open source alternatives to mainstream software have become more robust and popular. When I was a kid I torrented Sony Vegas, but now that’s simply not necessary since we have DaVinci Resolve.
Finally got around to updating the map to include the parts of the Koralmbahn in Austria that opened in December and the electrification of existing lines that is part of the project.
Partly because I have a terrible memory
I make a big year overview of all the nice, wonderful, interesting that happened last year. Usually I will stick some papers together and with coloured pencils write / draw events in (looking back in my agenda and notebook) then add positive associations and people involved
One of the things that is definitely going in for 2023 is creating and teaching a seminar on effect research of games
What would be one of your things of 2023? #joinin#overview
Nearly time again. #Halifax had the world's worst accidental explosion in the world, at that time. #HalifaxExplosion 6 December 1917
Some 2,000 people died and thousands more were wounded. Before Christmas, in frigid winter conditions. The explosion generated a 60 foot Tsunami wave, combined with the explosion, it leveled the city, destroying 1600 homes.
Parts of ships, were found many miles away. #History#Remembered.
You'll hear more about it in the week to come. https://waterfrontmediahfx.the902hxir.ca/61331-2
Text & Links: As Perseverance continues to wrap up its current activities at Turquoise Bay where it collected a new sample for possible return to Earth, the Mars 2020 team is getting ready for Perseverance to approach the next site in the Margin Unit campaign, a site called Jurabi Point, also known as the “gateway” to Gnaraloo Bay. Here Perseverance will encounter what is known as a “triple junction” between the curvilinear or “Upper Fan” sedimentary rocks, the “Boulder-rich unit,” and the carbonate-containing Margin unit. The carbonate rocks of the Margin unit are of particular interest from an astrobiological and a paleoclimatic perspective as carbonates are capable of preserving organic material, and can record information that could be used to reconstruct the depositional environment of the crater margin from which the latest sample came.
Jurabi Point is also exciting since it may be an excellent location to sample a boulder. This is because a sample from a boulder deposited near the later stages of the Jezero paleolake can be used for what is known as cosmogenic radionuclide dating. This type of dating has been used many times for deposits on Earth and is useful for estimating how long the ancient sedimentary deposits have been exposed at the surface. This would allow researchers to place a time constraint on when the youngest sediments in the Western Jezero Fan were deposited.
Cosmogenic radionuclide dating works due to Mars’ surface being bombarded by high-energy cosmic rays produced by supernovae. But the cosmic rays only penetrate about a meter below the planet’s surface. When cosmic rays bombard, say, a recently deposited boulder, nuclei of the chemical elements within the rock will be shattered in a process called spallation. The concentration of the resulting fragments - newly formed isotopes - can be measured to calculate how long the boulder has been exposed within about a meter of the surface. That duration provides a limit on when the boulders were deposited on the fan. With the long exposure durations expected on Mars the cosmogenic isotopes of choice are stable, including ^3^He, ^21^Ne, and ^36,38^ Ar. These isotopes will accumulate from spallation of common elements such as oxygen, silicon, and calcium. <a href=""></a> <a href=""></a>
The main difference is that 1Password requires two pieces of information for decrypting your passwords while Bitwarden requires only one.
Requiring an additional secret in the form of a decryption key has both upsides and downsides:
if someone somehow gets access to your master password, they won’t be able to decrypt your passwords unless they also got access to your secret key (or one of your trusted devices)
a weak master password doesn’t automatically make you vulnerable
if you lose access to your secret key, your passwords are not recoverable
additional effort to properly secure your key
So whether you want both or only password protection is a trade-off between the additional protection the key offers and the increased complexity of adequately securing it.
Your proposed scenarios of the master password being brute forced or the servers being hacked and your master password acquired when using Bitwarden are misleading.
Brute forcing the master password is not feasible, unless it is weak (too short, common, or part of a breach). By default, Bitwarden protects against brute force attacks on the password itself using PBKDF2 with 600k iterations. Brute forcing AES-256 (to get into the vault without finding the master password) is not possible according to current knowledge.
Your master password cannot be “acquired” if the Bitwarden servers are hacked.
They store the (encrypted) symmetric key used to decrypt your vault as well as your vault (where all your passwords are stored), AES256-encrypted using said symmetric key.
This symmetric key is itself AES256-encrypted using your master password (this is a simplification) before being sent to their servers.
Neither your master password nor the symmetric key used to decrypt your password vault is recoverable from Bitwarden servers by anyone who doesn’t know your master password and by extension neither are the passwords stored in your encrypted vault.
Let the madness begin! After much wailing and gnashing of teeth I have decided on a route to Italy that should be both interesting and new and add three countries to the tally.
I have a simple question about the Dow Jones Industrial Average. I'm surprised that I can't easily find the answer online.
How often is it recalculated and reported? It must be more often than once per hour, since circuit breakers apply within minutes of a steep drop. Is it every minute? Every half-minute? Every second?
@petersuber Given that the algorithm and the companies in the index are published, I'd imagine that anyone watching the exchange tickers (or whatever the transaction logs are called now) can recalculate it on demand, without waiting for an official report from S&P Dow Jones. (Though I'd imagine they calculate it themselves frequently. Their free website publishes it with a 1-day granularity: https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/index-family/equity/us-equity/dow-jones-averages/#overview )
