Giving you the benefit of doubt here.

"/s" technically means "this comment is sarcastic in nature". But also commonly used with bad jokes and puns as well, indicating that this is indeed nonsense, and I'm aware of it, but I decided to say it anyway.

The previous comment was just a bad and cliche joke that is common in internet forums, referencing the "Skynet" from the "Terminator" movie series.

"I hope this message finds you well", is a marker I have been using to detect GPT replies. Looks like this is from ChatGPT.

Also it says "BLOB feature" and "BLOB functionality". What in the coconut does that mean? "BLOB feature is an important aspect for our app." Come on..

It's really pathetic that they didn't even try to read it at least once.

Aah I should have clarified more. My bad.

This is only an issue when the ventilation is very low, means when accumulation of Radon gas happens in some form. In spaces with ventilation it should not be a problem.

But Radon is "one of the leading causes of lung cancer, in non-smokers" . So not critical, but caution must be there is what I understood.

What about radon and radioactivity in granite countertops?

Recently I came to know about this.

Edit: I should have added an explanation. It is only an issue when the ventilation is very low. Accumulation of Radon gas is the only thing to be worried about.

I have a different experience. There was one thread which linked to a github issue. The issue said some blobs don't have source code. Ironically when I went on to check, the blobs mentioned in the issue had source code, but there were other blobs which seemed to miss the source or build instructions.

I would love to have an independent audit to put this issue at rest. All that happens is more and more noise and no resolution. I am not a programmer so can't really help here.

~~Why? Can you elaborate?~~

Edit: oh, I automatically read it as J. Herkenhoff, and started to wonder what is the problem with the name.

I'm a bit concerned about the block synchronization part. Mainly whether it can be used for some form of enforcement. My major concern is regarding shadow libraries, because I believe knowledge should be accessible to everyone. Can someone familiar weigh on?

Will this make them more visible to predators or hunters?

SimpleX

The first messenger without user IDs, Other apps have user IDs: Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, Cwtch, etc. SimpleX does not, not even random numbers. This radically improves your privacy.

Time for stories about oppressed people and the dictator leader.

The project already started to diverge. If you have an older version don't update until you migrate.

Edit: @Successful_Try543@feddit.org solved it. It says "one special character". Not "at least one".

 

I'm looking into ways to access my home network which is behind a CGNAT. Tailscale looks like the best solution so far. I would like to clarify a doubt on Tailscale

I have a domain name registered with one of the popular services out there. I saw that Tailscale uses MagicDNS. But I wanted to use my personal domain. My doubt is if I want to use my custom domain with Tailscale, the following will be the procedure,

  1. Setup Tailscale account and add machines.
  2. My device inside the home network will get a Tailscale IP assigned. From 100.xx.xx.xx pool
  3. Use this IP to configure an A record in my Domain registrar.

Now when I try to access this domain what will happen is,

  1. DNS server will resolve the Tailscale IP.
  2. The outside client will try to connect to my machine in the home network.
  3. Tailscale takes care of the CGNAT part and helps to establish a direct connection.
  4. Clients will use the public keys to establish trust and will communicate with each other.

If there is anything wrong in my understanding please correct me. I could not get a clear cut answer on this through searching.
