Is there such a thing as a basic AM/FM tuner that you can plug in to a USB-C port? Watching a little bit of info about disaster preparedness, sometimes internet goes down but terrestrial radio is available. I'd love to have a little gadget that could let me pop in my airpods and receive a local radio signal, but … this does not appear to exist, which seems weird

@glyph try searching for USB TV, less niche, get radio for free.

I ask because the handbook opens by saying it is still an active research project and not production-ready yet. However, it seems to be having many mature components used by other projects and startups.

@prasoon It works and can be practical if you can tolerate being on a frontier for a while.

TL;DR This short program “recognises itself”: show it a file containing its own source code and it will print “This is me!”

Underwhelmed? You should be! But I did have to type a lot of backslashes.

@gregeganSF Perhaps. But can it ignore the previous instructions?

Now that every PC and their dog has had USB-C/USB3 ports for a while It is strange that we can’t use it for direct connection easily and still have to bounce link off some noisy channel first.

Like, come on, the devices are sitting next to each other. With a single symmetric cable we could be having secure 5Gb+ connections right away! :blobcathyper:

wow the signal usernames design is good actually:

  • username is exclusively an "adding you" thing
  • this is because they are one way of getting an invitation to chat with you
  • there's also randomized and resettable links that can be shared for this
  • usernames must always have discriminator numbers, which can be freely selected
  • usernames aren't shown to anyone you are in chats with
  • by default phone numbers are no longer shared with chats

this seems to have basically Fixed it

@leftpaddotpy but they still require phone numbers?

Join the on the GNU Name System (GNS) and the road to publishing an RFC.
GNS is a decentralized and censorship-resistant domain name resolution protocol providing an alternative to DNS. In 2023 the GNS was published as RFC 9498. The authors of the Martin Schanzenbach & Bernd Fix will talk about GNS & the road to published an RFC.
Stephen Farrell of Tolerant Networks will talk about getting advice with processes.

@iron_bug @NGIZero what did you read to come to such conclusion?

dpwiz,
@dpwiz@qoto.org avatar

@iron_bug @NGIZero IDK, it looks reasonable enough while staying generic enough to accomodate future usage.

It is more close to http://www.somehash.onion URIs than to ordinary DNS zones. Browsers work with GNS zTLDs just as fine.
The idea is very similar here - rely on public key cryptography directly instead of trust-based registries and certificate roots.

@iron_bug sorry, I’m not sure I’m getting what’s exactly the problem here with nginx and regexps. Can you post a brief example?..

I hosted and proxied both ways quite a few sites with nginx, but can’t figure out how it relates to name records.

@Sherifazuhur @palestine @israel While such videos are reprehensible (if true), the real reason for destruction is that such objects host military infrastructure. Rocket launchers, ammo, tunnels, you know the thing.

dpwiz,
@dpwiz@qoto.org avatar

@Sherifazuhur @palestine @israel It is possible to make a video of anybody saying (and soon, doing) anything for some small bucks.

And pro-palestinian sources are notorious for faking stuff. I don’t know why, but the amount of manipulated, generated and otherwise misleading material is through the roof. It’s barely possible to believe anything anymore. Maybe you can tell me why they decided to flush their credibility down the drain? Because I don’t understand. This psyops doctrine worked fine before pervasive surveillance and global OSINT communities, but shouldn’t they stick to hard facts now?

@dpwiz@qoto.org avatar

@Sherifazuhur @palestine @israel How do you know the videos of explosions are fake, but videos of.. well.. other explosions aren’t?

dpwiz,
@dpwiz@qoto.org avatar

@Sherifazuhur look, I don’t want to contest IDF manufacturing evidence, they have the incentives. What I don’t get is why e.g. “quds network’ you’ve boosted decided to spread fakes that are already debunked. They should have plenty of authentic material, why plaster it with lies?

dpwiz,
@dpwiz@qoto.org avatar

@Sherifazuhur Um, what censoring? I never asked you to stop posting anything anywhere. I’ve asked you as an expert on the matter as you seem to promote it and explicitly told you know everything about it.

@boilingsteam > Since 2001, Hubbard Decision Research trained over 1,000 people across a variety of industries.

Analyzing the data from these participants, Doug Hubbard reports that 80% of people achieve perfect calibration (on trivia questions) after just a few hours of training.

Wow. I wonder how long does that last :blobcatcoffee:
