I recall those things used to be tied into pocket. I’d look into it, they are probably still curated by the pocket team.

That info is a mess, and doesn’t really apply to the topic. It’s also misleading.

The root of the word afaik is found in exactly one word each of the three relevant languages: “deutsch”, “duits”, “dutch”.

“deutsch” is german and means german.
“duits” is dutch and means german.
“dutch” is english and means dutch.

So if you literally translate “dutch land” using their closest equivalents based on word history into any germanic language, you will obtain “german land” i.e. germany.
No idea what english was doing here, but every germanic language can agree the word-family of dutch should have it mean german.
Maybe the netherlands were the only relevant country to england so they just called those particular duitsmen the only duits and then had to replace the original meaning of the word with german when duits was changed.

Either way, the etymology of the word “þiudiskaz” is definitely not the reason the dutch are called that in english, the reason for that must be in english itself probably in the last 500 years somewhere. It is a uniquely english and relatively modern phenomenon, forming the meme of this post since it neither makes sense nor matches and of the actual nations or native languages involved.

I’m talking about persistent outages, that can remain for minutes or hours if you don’t move out of the affected area.
The setups shouldn’t cgange channels, both because they are a large commercial setup and because there is no other interference in some spots.
The dead zones are persistent over years in some spots.

If you have anything larger than a home installation you easily get some horribly mistuned antennae that let phones receive wifi but don’t catch the response at the same dbm, leading to phones hanging in their now broken wifi when walking out, or repeating connection attempts when walking in.
I had to block the wifi of my university for that, as it would regularly drop my internet if I went past any of their buildings. Also made me disable wifi calls

Wine can actually beat native in latency, since it’s a pretty thin translation layer and windows is … windows.
I’d give it a shot just in case.

Efi spec states it must be safe to delete all variables. It’s only motherboards not adhering to the spec that are affected, effectively faulty hardware.
If you do this on a mb from that era chances are nothing will happen, and if something does happen chances are it is recoverable. You’d have to have some truly bad luck on your choice of mb to have it be permanently bricked by that.

I think it says “honesty of these words”

Steadily improving. I set up my webserver with ech which is the next step, hiding even the domain. A solid chunk of the internet uses cloudflare as an intermediary, which also has ech and only leaves “someone connected to some cloudflare page at this time for that amount of data”.

As more places roll out deep package inspection, I’m sure in due time more randomization for package sizes will follow, making even the amount of data uncertain.

Most web metadata is at the http layer anyway and has always been hidden by https.

Oh my I must have recited it wrong from memory, my bad

Yep, exact copy of the first 35 lines from the 100,000 Digits of Pi website, the spaces are still in

Oh you want the code not rendered into html!
Drops the code in javascript when it is received from the backend.

genkernel is basically deprecated. You can use distkernel and supply your own config or config mods.

Yeah, I would expect it to be hard, similar to asking an llm to substitiute all letters e with an a. Which I’m sure they struggle with but manage to perform it too.

In this context though it’s a bit misleading explaining the observed behavior of op with that though, since it implies it is due to that fundamental nature of llms when in practice all models I have tested fundamentally had the ability.

It does seem that llms simply don’t use double spaces (or I have not noticed them doing it anywhere yet), but if you trained or just systemprompted them differently they could easily start to. So it isn’t a very stable method for non-ai identification.

Edit: And of course you’d have to make sure the interfaces also don’t strip double spaces, as was guessed elsewhere. I have not checked other interfaces but would not be surprised either way whether they did or did not. This too thought can’t be overly hard to fix with a few select character conversions even in the worst cases. And clearly at least my interface already managed to do it just fine.

I’d expect tokenizers to include spaces in tokens. You get words constructed from multiple tokens, so can’t really insert spaces based on them. And too much information doesn’t work well when spaces are stripped.

In my tests plenty of llms are also capable of seeing and using double spaces when accessed with the right interface.

This seems to match up with some quick tests I did just now, on the pseudonyminized chatbot interface of duckduckgo.
chatgpt, llama, and claude all managed to use double spaces themselves, and all but llama managed to tell I was using them too.
It might well depend on the platform, with the “native” applications for them stripping them on both ends.

Export the apk via adb and then install it from the file on future devices?

Also the norm tho, afaik

My bank had a device that was basically a simple android phone running the 2fa app. The phone app got updated through new versions and eventually got the drm treatment, but the old app keeps working because it is still running on those dedicated 2fa “devices”.
Naturally the bank is now trying their best to make people deregister the old “devices” and switch to only the “app”.

The old app has no internet permissions. It reads qr from the camera and shows verification as a 6 digit code.
The new app has internet permissions and is integrated with other apps so you can conveniently accept the request of your banking app in the 2fa app (on the same phone) with a single tap via an overlay. 2fa.

Yeah, on some fundamental level.
Most linux distros would be very moddable repairable off-the-shelf cars. LFS would be your diy project with various guides. And gentoo would be a parts garage with their own guides and precompiled kits of components, so you can either follow those sets and build a more off-the-shelf car or diverge at any point for any section and run wild. But also you can still use the machine shop of the store and they offer to custom build some consumables for you and keep shipping them.

You could use njal.la, who charge a flat 15$ without deceptive schemes and actually protect your privacy properly too.
To be fair namecheap legally can’t do what njalla does since namecheap is a primary registrar and njalla secondary.

In terms of activism I’d think both getting the cheapest option and donating 8$ a year to the eff or a similar group directly, or taking a njalla domain and donating 3$, would be cheaper than namecheap and also more effective at defending internet freedom.
