Nginx is 2-clause BSD, which I would argue is more "Open Source" than Arch Linux (official repo contains proprietary components such as discord, steam, multimedia codecs). You could argue that the majority of it (and it's build system) is open source, but probably not "Arch Linux" is fully Open Source.

Amazon Smile trades ad views for 1% of their proceeds to a non-profit of your choice (including the FSF, EFF, and more, though I think RMS would have a seizure accepting this money)

Whole Foods gives you significant discounts on hot foods if you scan a QR code from the app (still expensive though).

I don't use these personally but I can totally see someone using them.

Has anyone followed standards properly? There are weird workarounds in Linux's TCP implementation because they had to do the same non-standard workarounds as BSD which was added since there are too many buggy TCP implementations out there that will break if the RFC is followed to the letter...

This person must be fun at parties.

Also, does nobody reach out to people privately to resolve conflicts these days? Even a simple "Hi, I saw my post was removed. Could you please clarify why it doesn't fall under the news category" would do (Not "I object. I'm right and you're wrong" though). There are more efficient ways to clear disagreements without immediately making a fool of yourself in public.

What someone does with their 16,777,215 private IPv4 addresses is none of our business...

Now just connect all of that with dumb L2 switches and watch those broadcasts fly!

If it helps you avoid users it's a plus.

I'd take deciphering the Rosetta code over that any day.

How many KDF iterations did you set your vault to? I have mine at 600,000 so it definitely takes a moment (~3 sec) to decrypt on older devices.

The decryption being compute heavy is by design. You only need to decrypt once to unlock your vault, but someone brute forcing it would need to decrypt a billion+ times. Increasing compute needed for decryption makes it more expensive to brute force your master password.

In fact, LastPass made the mistake of setting their default iteration count to 1000 before they got breached and got a ton of flak for it.

Pretty sure the biggest cost of crimping your own cables is finding a place to store the remaining spool.

Or ensuring the spool is still useful 15 years later while everything has migrated to SFP/QSFP

It's the AVX-2/AVX-512 instructions that have issues. In most cases unless you're running a server CPU (or extremely recent consumer CPU) you'll be fine.

Scary for HPC/AI? Yes. For most people? Not really.
