Sea shanties intensify

Except cigarettes are a state-run monopoly over there.

The main reason things are going so slowly is that they can’t bring themselves to stop making so much money.

The same institution that’s supposed to promote the facts about the health-risks of smoking is the one making stupid amounts of money making and selling it.

If they ever stop, it’ll be because they transition to other nicotine products, or shift to exporting the product to developing countries (which they already are).

That’s “udi”, actually.

Jukage.

Remember, the title depends on the village.

It’s just a rating. All cells are rated for some given amount of amps, but you can actually exceed that rating in bursts.

So I’m jokingly pointing out that you can theoretically pull as many watts as you want.

You can turn a MWh of energy into a GW of power, as long as you compress it into a short enough duration.

The battery (or any part of the circuit) just won’t survive the event :D

Oh, sorry.

Come to think of it, you can actually pull 930 gigawatts from any battery. Just not for very long.

Does that solve the problem?

Batteries don’t come in MW, GW, or even W. That’s a measure of power. As in how fast it is being created or consumed.

Batteries don’t create or consume power, they store it.

That is measured in Wh, MWh, or GWh.

I’ve been meaning to watch Sisu.

I mean, presumably this is all device-side on the stick.

It mounts the two partitions separately, and presents them separately. It doesn’t need to pass through the actual SD card to the host system at all.

If you dd the decoy partition you only ever see the decoy partition. Because the decoy partition is presented as a complete device, not just a partition, to the host system.

Why would this be incompatible with linux? If this is done the way it seems it is done, it’s not a filesystem trick.

It’s two partitions on one SD card being presented as two separate devices by the microcontroller that has actual direct access.

The real vulnerability would be that you could just crack it open to find the SD card.

Is this real?

Great news! We’ve the created the Torment Nexus, from the hit sci-fi series “Don’t Create the Torment Nexus”!

There are two PINs, PIN1 for ZKP and PIN2 for digital signing. The card does nothing without one.

Most EU countries provide some way for citizens to sign documents using a private key tied to their legal personage.

Putting it on the ID card they are given anyway just makes sense.

My final paragraph is there to explain that a lot of “digital signatures” aren’t really signatures in any meaningful way. What goes into the actual file doesn’t matter at all, UNLESS it’s the aforementioned cryptographic signature.

When a website has you type a name as a signature it’s a legal representation of that signature. There’s nothing cryptographic at all about it. Wjere would you even store the key? I’ve made ways to use Webauthn keys to do this, but no signatory uses these methods.

I claimed no such thing. That is not a digital signature.

I’m fairly certain we are not discussing the same thing.

I can digitally sign documents the way I have described, NOT IN A WEB BROWSER, using entirely local or even open source software, using my government issued ID card.

The solution provided for electronic signatures by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency is a signature certificate. The certificate is located in the card chip.

As described by the relevant finnish agency, this is enabled by a “signature certificate” stored on peoples ID cards. The functionality uses a separate PIN from that which you use to verify your identity in the context of a website you are visiting.

I am not aware of any other way for me to sign a document in such a way. All the other signatures, which do also work, are something else. And potentially insecure in all the ways OP thinks. (Someone else can type the same name).

In case you’re unaware, that’s literally why they took to calling it that.

Technically correct, easiest to market back when people were first starting to have doubts about setting stuff we found underground on fire.

Using the word “natural” was very much a deliberate choice.

It’s really just a digital way to do the equivalent of printing the document, signing it, and scanning it again. Which is also accepted in a lot of situations.

The visual signature part of a “digital signature” is purely cosmetic. The actual signature is the entire file being cryptographically signed using a private key you possess, which any recipient can then verify came from you by using a public key.

This is the case for all government issue signatures (like when using the private key inside a chipped government id card) or any other signature created using a key pair from an issuing authority.

If its not a digital signature in this way, the other way is literally just an image. It can be a vector or an raster, or a straight up scan of a physically signed document. It’s just a picture. It has no digital verification whatsoever.

OMFG.

Gemini is neat, but it SSUUUUUUUUCCCKKS at being a voice assistant.

It will frequently produce a fucking essay in response to being asked to turn the lights on or off.

I just gave it a go again, 30% of the time it pretends to do what you ask without actually doing it. 20% of the time it flat-out refuses while never failing to mention that I really should enable gemini activity tracking. 40% of the time is claims this functionality does not exist, even though it was given the ability to “ask assistant” to do things only it can do (like identify music by listening to it). 10% of the time it will successfully hand off to assistant, which will then instantly do as asked.

Worse.

It will fucking lie and say it set a timer or reminder, and if you ask it “wtf” in response when it clearly didn’t (if you notice), it’ll fucking explain it’s just roleplaying at being a voice assistant.

“Choose” your pokemon.

I’ve only managed it accidentally.

But usually the pattern is contacting/getting contacted due to some matter that needs discussing. The source for that can be needing some pointers on using someone elses code, or providing feedback on how someone moderates, etc.

For me it’s usually come from participating more extensively. Engaging in community building such as my modding titanfall and hosting northstar servers. Starting a bunch of lemmy communities.

Then, once something gives you a reason to go a couple back and forths into an exchange, and there is mutual interest, it just keeps going. After that you can pick up with the same skillset you’d use with someone you’ve met in person.

The difference is that you’ll need to keep it going by deliberately reviving the conversation now and then. That won’t happen by running into the person face to face or some similar context the way it might work with a coworker or someone in your social circle.
