If you've got 14 billion years, a theft takes a minute, then you need 53 recursion levels of binary search to find the moment of the theft. (14 billion years can be split into about 7.3e15 1-minute segments, 53 levels of binary search allow you to search through 9e15 segments)

That means OP assumed that it'd take 1 minute to decide whether at a certain still frame the theft had already occured or not, to compute the new offset to seek to, and the time it'd take to actually seek the tape to that point.

Not an unreasonable assumption, but a very conservative estimate. Assuming the footage is on an HDD and you've got an automated system for binary search, I'd actually assume it'd take 5 seconds for each step, meaning finding a 1min theft on 14 billion years of footage would take 5 minutes.

It's an absolutely surprising amount, because Matrix spends less than that if you just count the people working on the open source offerings.

And that project has significantly more features, is federated, and has a much larger scope.

I pay for netflix, prime, disney+, paramount+, youtube premium, nebula, and a few more services. I buy music and movies, if available, on bluray and rip them to my own jellyfin server.

And yet, about 20% of what I watch, I've got to pirate because there's no reasonable way to actually watch it. Legal ways often only have the German dub, or are lower quality.

(When I was younger, my family was relatively poor, so back then I obviously pirated everything, but once I could afford it I wiped my entire collection and bought the exact same content properly again, for moral reasons obviously but also because I prefer to do rips myself so they've got proper quality).

ASS format is the worst of all subtitle formats. It's not even a real format, the spec is a badly written word document that's missing half the features. It's only popular with shitty fansub groups that discovered you could use it to basically render whatever you'd like on top of videos.

The big issue I see with YouTube premium (though I'm a paid subscriber) is that the bitrate is still far too low. Vimeo provided much better quality a decade ago for paid users and so do Nebula, Floatplane and all the other competing sites nowadays

"just works" if you've got the fps set to 60 on an M1/M2 macbook and update the OS, you've bricked it.

Better laptops tend to put the wifi antenna in the display, so it's far away from the USB ports when in use. Obviously that's not compatible with ultra thin laptops.

Badly shielded USB3 causes RF leaks at 2.4GHz. use 5Ghz WiFi or better shielded devices.

"at those temperatures"

well, to a heat pump even -40° is still 230K, which is plenty of energy to move around and work with. It may be cold to you, but to a heat pump it's not.

Typical high speed tracks aren't shared with cargo trains. Frankfurt-Siegburg for example is only usable by high speed passenger trains.

And regarding the max speed, I'd suggest to look at china. The chinese railways run the Siemens Velaro CN, which is the local version of the Velaro D (DB Br407) at 380km/h in regular use.

I posted this comment already elsewhere in this thread, but lemme quote myself:

The ICE's max speed depends on model and variies from 250km/h to 300km/h. These speeds can be reached on:

• Hannover-Würzburg (280km/h)
• Mannheim-Stuttgart (280km/h)
• Oebisfelde-Berlin (250km/h)
• Siegburg-Frankfurt (300km/h)
• Köln-Düren (250km/h)
• Rastatt-Offenburg & Schliengen-Haltingen (250km/h)
• Nürnberg-Ingolstadt (300km/h)
• Ebensfeld-Leipzig/Halle (300km/h)
• Wendlingen-Ulm (250km/h)

There are more of these tracks currently under construction:

• Stuttgart-Wendlingen (250km/h)
• Bashaide-Rastatt (250km/h)

And many more are currently in the planning stage:

• Hamm-Bielefeld (300km/h)
• Oebisfelde-Berlin (300km/h)
• Ulm-Augsburg (300km/h)
• Gelnhausen-Fulda (250km/h)
• Frankfurt-Mannhein (300km/h)
• Bielefeld-Hannover (300km/h)
• Nürnberg-Würzburg (300km/h)

No, driving a moving truck (that's small enough to not full under the separate speed limit for trucks) at 200km/h is insane. Seen that before ^^

The neat part about the fediverse is that no matter how badly behaved a dev may be, there'll be enough people to fix their behaviour and work around it. Look at mastodon, gorgon made a few questionable choices but glitch and all the other forks work around it and enough community servers exist that you could block mastodon.social and never miss a thing.

Just like with Lemmy there's already kbin and countless other alternatives that all integrate with each other and enough community servers.

But with browsers that's stopped being a thing a long time ago as the modern web is far too complex for small groups of indie devs to make their own browsers.

There's no provider that's going to be more safe than Hetzner, tbh.

If a provider doesn't comply, you'll just get special services raiding their DCs instead.

And if you switch to a VPS provider, you're even more exposed.

Set up CAA with proper restrictions, enforce CT for your clients and use proper full disk encryption to prevent them from placing implants on your server itself.

It would be, if you use macOS on an intel CPU with an AMD GPU.

But porting it to an entirely different CPU and GPU architecture with entirely different graphics API (Metal) makes no sense whatsoever.

Honestly, with high quality USB A plugs you could feel the logo on the side that was "up", and if you knew which side your motherboard or front panel considered "up", it'd be easy to always plug devices in correctly.

Just that the vast majority of manufacturers stopped caring relatively early on, which meant you couldn't rely on it anymore.
