The Matrix talk recording is broken. The referenced video files have a size of 0 bytes



It's just another client that (by default) uses the official F-Droid repo


The "essence of linear algebra" series by 3blue1brown on YouTube does a really good job at intuitively explaining and visualizing matrix multiplication and other linear algebra topics.


That might be true in some places, but in Europe for example there really isn't that much room left. And moving large quantities of electricity from a desert to a place where people actually use it is also a challenge


It is said that the infrastructure required to sustain suburbs costs more money than these suburbs bring in. In the US a city gets federal money to build new suburbs, but when it comes to renewing them after a few decades, the city has to pay on its own and it often has not enough money to do it.

I am by no means an expert on this topic and just poorly summarized the contents of this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=7IsMeKl-Sv0


It's also affecting some cities, such as Chicago. Wacker Drive is an example of this.

It turns out that core infrastructure should be built to be inexpensive to maintain, and density helps greatly with that goal.


On IPv6 this would be a solved issue. With SLAAC the router just broadcasts Router Advertisements and all the machines just automatically configure their addresses, which are fully predictable based on their MAC address (if you have privacy extensions disabled). The router has no state to keep and as such the network can be scaled up "infinitely". Just pick a random /64 prefix and set up radvd (or systemd-networkd) to send the router advertisements.


Sure. The thing is that we also have a physical location based naming system which is somewhat tied to the IPv4 address and we use that system across multiple data centers. We also have a single daemon running on each box that helps with the naming. It would complicate things (ie: more code to write) to have one dc (where we had these issues), on IPv6. We hadn't had issues before, so it never really made sense to use IPv6 other than for the novelty of it. IPv4 works surprisingly well and the issue really wasn't at that layer. Who knows too.. maybe radvd or systemd-networkd also have other issues we don't know about.


People are saying this because so far it has just been much warmer than usual at this time of year, and snow in November wouldn't be the most unusual thing, and most people just assume snow=winter.

Some stats of my weather station in South Germany from this year and last year. It is much warmer this year, and even last year was pretty warm

Oct 2021: Avg: 8.5°C Min: 0.5°C Max: 22.0°C

Oct 2022: Avg: 12.7°C Min: 4.9°C Max: 21.5°C

Nov (1st to end of 11th) 2021: Avg: 4.1°C Min: -1.9°C Max: 9.4°C

Nov (1st to end of 11th) 2022: Avg: 7.8°C Min: 0.9°C Max: 15.8°C

I have no clue about weather forecasting and I can't exclude a drastic change in the coming months, but right now it just doesn't look like that at all


So interestingly, we will see a massive decrease in energy usage from heating thanks for climate change. Actually pretty cool.


Yes, and air conditioning is far more efficient than heating.

You either do an interview or a member sends you an invite. It's a private tracker just like what.cd was. It's less elitist than most other trackers which are invite only and sometimes lock registrations completely. Unfortunately they have to keep a low profile and pick their members to avoid copyright trolls or being shut down entirely. The test isn't very difficult and there is a public page explaining everything one needs to know. It's more about showing some effort and making sure that you know how to act accordingly on a private tracker


Well, clearly they sent it to you, so they're distributing the images. The E-Mail headers, especially if they contain a dkim signature, are likely sufficient proof for that. If not, the provider they used might be able to back your claims up. If you were using some E-Mail provider instead, those images would still land on your client devices, and the situation would be almost the same. And of course let a lawyer do the talking


Ah, but they send and report it anonymously, mitigating the risk to themselves. And the popular conception is that once that content is on your devices, it doesn't really matter how or why it got there. You're effectively ruined. That may be inaccurate but it's still a popular idea.

And re: client devices, with a provider you don't control, you at least have the option not to download or access content you are not confident is safe. If you self-host, just accepting the message is storing the content on your device.
