@plankers Don't a lot of CPUs have built in encryption modules that basically solve this problem for you?

"How can we mitigate having encryption keys in memory on the host?" Don't use encryption...? "You are surely joking." Not really. How would the system use an encrypted datastore if it can't have the keys? "This is required." Your requirements are at odds with each other.

@blind_via Debug headers and cables. Can't ever have enough of those. (Says the software guy.)

I need to buy a handful of 0201 LEDs, and that's it. I'm going to be paying mostly for shipping. What do I add to make the order make more sense?

@SGTWipper1Each Scout troops do something similar at the end of a camp.

The average person doesn't know what's happening here. No, it's not a foot race. 😉

@mcahogarth Video games seem to scratch some of that "struggle" itch. So the question in my mind is - where's the boundary on artificial struggle?

Sympathetic to people who dream of a time when everyone can do what they love, but my observation is that a lot of people don't love anything that much, and without external pressure from society, simply do nothing and feel restless and unfulfilled. You can't expect people to create meaning in a vacuum. Some amount of the purpose we derive in life comes from friction and struggle, and when that struggle is artificial we can tell and it doesn't answer.

@LokiJulianus That and every captain afloat is absolutely certain that the US Navy will fire on them if they do not comply.

It's called “losing.”

@yana_aff_ You need to watch "A Fish Called Wanda".

@alanfryermedia Perception of elections as illegitimate or ineffective is a bad thing. Our system only works if the losers in a given election think it was fair, and that they have a chance next time. Once that perception is gone, where will they turn?

A lot of non-Liberals are going to be disappointed as Carney secures a majority government tonight. And many will see that majority as illegitimate since it was secured through back room deals rather than earned in a general election. Truth is, though, it’s not illegitimate. It’s just how our imperfect system works and has done for decades in favour of one party or the other. That said, it will certainly FEEL illegitimate to many Canadians. I know it will to me. But, really, who cares? On the plus side, PM Carney will have one less excuse for not delivering on all those promised nation building projects at speeds unseen in generations — in spite of, or perhaps because of, his new circus-sized tent. Let’s also hope the media finally finds its spine to start holding the majority circus performers, and not just the incredible shrinking Opposition, to account for what happens and what does not.

@TristinHopper I take comfort in the fact the wheel always turns. The Liberals will overreach even further, and their support will collapse with the economy. "Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:" -- Kipling

Imagine you're planning the Canada of 2050. Which of these options would you pick ... A. A Conservative victory in 2021. It immediately becomes a Doug Ford-like zombie government, structural issues go untouched, cans are kicked. B. A Liberal Götterdämmerung that does not cease until every flaw and rend in the Canadian project is hideously exposed for all to see.

@AriGoldkind Hopefully Alberta's referendum will shake things up without them actually leaving -- without their votes, we're kinda cooked.

Serious question: After this last horrible week of further death to Canada, how do Conservatives ever win a federal election again? If you didn’t think the voting deck was being stacked by the last ten years, it will be on steroids now.

@sixstringsimple @Erdayastronaut They must have built a landing simulator by now. It'd be cool to see someone trying to do a manual landing in it.

@Erdayastronaut I'm interested in how someone would manually land a freaking building.

Just so I don't miss anything in my deep dive on Starship HLS, let me know what questions you have BESIDES the dozen plus refilling tankers, height / tippiness of it, and using methalox as those topics are greatly covered.

@james_xond Well, yeah. I drive one every day.

Trying to prove a point: Could you jump into a stick-shift car and drive it without a problem right now?

@Bassn103456 @TheGunBlog @itsTim_eh Which is why the turnover rate is in the single digit percentages...

@ReignEnjoyer @LSSGG1488 @big_pedestrian Yeah, e-bikes make biking much less sweaty.

@LSSGG1488 @big_pedestrian one of these is fixable

Automobiles are an extremely stupid, inefficient and unpleasant way to move people in a city.

@Not_the_Bee Do not blaspheme against Heinlein so.

The aft of a rocket has no business being this beautiful.

@EricRStPierre Honestly, I still think voting our way out is an option we should pursue. I don't think the wreck of the economy can be papered over for much longer, unless Carney somehow secures a trade deal with Trump. The next election will be "interesting".

Question of the day: Are we Canadians going vote our way out of this mess we find ourselves in?

@BlackDumpling There is no ship captain in the world suicidal enough to test Trump on this. One warning shot will be sufficient.

If the United States announces a blockade and the British defy it what then becomes the operating question.

@MarieleRedclaw @Pirat_Nation Maybe they don't want to see movie theatres go the way of the dodo. If we see more deals like this, it'll be good for both sides.

@Pirat_Nation They had such success in streaming, though. Why worry about the dinosaur system of movie theaters? It almost seems like a regression. YouTube is set up to take payments for individual videos. Just charge a couple bucks to see it a day or two early.

GLITCH’s decision to release the Digital Circus finale in theaters two weeks before YouTube It is a major test for the future of indie animation. As Kevin explained, they want to prove that a creator-led animated series that started on YouTube can succeed on the big screen at a global scale. If it works, it could open the door for more independent creators and original animated projects in theaters.

@AdrianDittmann We should absolutely forget those who tried to stop us. Let history forget they were ever our kin.

When we become Multi planetary, we should never forget those who got us there and those who tried to stop us.

@readonly108 Canada has some fault in this. We've had low-key multiculturalism for generations, and it worked pretty well when the numbers were small, and most of those were European. I suspect we were patient 0 for the current outbreak. "Hey, it works there..."

Wir wissen jetzt im Nachhinein, dass es nie um Multikulti ging. Dass Multikulti als friedliches, gleichberechtigtes Zusammenleben verschiedener Kulturen und Lebensweisen nie das Ziel war. Es ging im Gegenteil immer um die Zerstörung der christlich-abendländisch geprägten Kultur und Lebensweise. Und offensichtlich wurde dieselbe Strategie von Lüge und Zersetzung nicht nur hier in Deutschland, sondern im gesamten Westen durchgezogen. Wir können es jetzt hier auf X, auf von zig Posts von Menschen in betroffenen Ländern, lesen.

@DrCaseyBabb "Trusted" might not be the right word. Given they helped with the nuclear program, I suspect they still have a lot of useful people in their contacts list... They're go-betweens, but saying that makes their role impossible.

It's only been a few decades since the Pakistanis helped Iran build out its nuclear program. And it's only been 15 years since we found out they were hiding Osama bin Laden. Now they're being trusted to broker peace talks between the U.S. and Iran. Nothing makes sense anymore.
