The tl;dr from the article (which is actually worth a read):

The very short version: Unix PIDs do start at 0! PID 0 just isn’t shown to userspace through traditional APIs. PID 0 starts the kernel, then retires to a quiet life of helping a bit with process scheduling and power management. Also the entire web is mostly wrong about PID 0, because of one sentence on Wikipedia from 16 years ago.

I love Localsend because it’s gloriously simple: Does exactly what you want, and nothing more. I haven’t used KDE Contact; what else does it add in?

Definitely; OP’s linked article doesn’t have any quotes that refer to copyright, while this one of yours adds a lot of context that was otherwise missing. There’s a world of difference between allowing retention of IP addresses and creating a cleaning house for IPs suspected of distributing works.

If XSS is your concern, check out Firefox’s Container Tabs. They allow you to set up tab groups that restrict access to cookies to only tabs in that group, so you can just, eg, set up a group for your bank and restrict it to just your bank’s site. Your session cookie etc are then not available to any other tab groups.

I pair that with the Temporary Containers extension, so any random tab I open is in its own container. Everything is always separate.

Hardware controls are meaningless if an attacker gets you to click on a dodgy link in a phishing email or you fall for a social engineering scam when “Microsoft” calls you because your computer has a virus.

Two of the employees were twins. It wasn’t planned, but it did give us a chance to see if twins were a weak point.

No, it gave you a chance to see if that particular set of twins was a weak point.

In fact, I myself could only tell them apart by their clothes. They had very different styles.

This makes it sound like you only tried one particular set of twins–unless there were multiple sets, and in each set the two had very different styles? I’m no statistician, but a single set doesn’t seem statistically significant.

I don’t see a good way to put it on a keychain; the only hole looks tiny, and right on an edge where it’s likely to snap after a year or so of wear.

What about just giving transparency to what the ranking is and letting people control it? Analogous to “sort by new/best/top” bit ideally with more knobs to tweak and a bunch of preset options?

Sure but given that their previous language explicitly mentions Google why remove that unless they’re trying to make people think that maybe they didn’t use Google. It’s a shady change, from a company whose CEO is already doing somewhat unhinged things.

The issue is that they’re using it but no longer being explicit about that use.

Obsidian is fantastic. I use it for work and also for personal stuff like planning TTRPG sessions. Especially with the plugins that are out there, it’s super powerful. Getting into using metadata tags and the Dataview plugin it becomes a pretty amazing knowledge engine.

I’d encourage you to check out SyncThing; it works great for syncing pretty much anything: I use it for my Obsidian notes and for my KeePass vault.

Interesting, thanks! I’ve only vaguely followed crypto stuff, so not really too familiar with how it gets used day-to-day

Gotcha, thanks! So you can just swap Monero for Bitcoin without going through KYC stuff?

How do you use a public ledger for privacy? Are you just using Monero or something?

It’s a lot closer than acoustic.

I’m a native speaker and my first thought was “wtf is an acoustic bike?” “Analog bike” would make a bit more sense.
