Well, you might be able to do it. But you might not want to be holding it in YOUR hand when you turn it on. :P
I’m the administrator of kbin.life, a general purpose/tech orientated kbin instance.

The problem is, this assumes that even if the kind of AI creators that are scraping relentlessly (and there’s a fair few that do) took this data source directly, that they’d then put an exception in their scrapers to avoid wikipedia’s site. I doubt they would bother.
Yeah but on one hand you hold the possibility of peace and in the other rampant profiteering.
For an absolute scumbag the choice is obvious, no?
All hypothetical of course. Not convinced things will go that far without some more clear indicators.
The root servers are already spread over the globe. Enough of them are operated by non US orgs too to handle things initially, I suspect that the localised anycast servers located outside the US for those USA based operators would probably go on serving.
It’d be trivial to replace them anyway, and frankly we traffic would be much lower anyway since a lot of the Internet is run by us based organisations.
For domain registration on tlds not run by the us, they should continue to operate fine.
I’ve been to the US twice since 9/11 and neither time was I asked for my phone. Not to say it didn’t happen before now. It happens in many countries if they decide they have even a tiny bit of suspicion.
But, frankly right now I would not travel to the USA for any reason.
I used my own content controls to block reddit for a year. Well, a bit longer so far.
Yeah, but it randomly freezes for me in Linux. Really annoying.
Otherwise it looks quite nice.
Those billionaires need to look out for eachother.
I think the top one might be the culprit. But it might be the guy’s account was hacked?
On his repo he has a fork of WSL and the repo is called “free-palestine”, he tried to merge the branch “freedom”. So that PR seems likely to be linked to this. Other than this, activity seems normal for a terminal githubber with 444 repos…
Oh, good. Maybe they will stop trying to scrape my websites at some ridiculous rate using faked real browser UAs. I just blocked their whole ASN (AS45102) in the end.
Why? Because you can. But in terms of useful reasons?
Cellphones, Internet they need infrastructure to work, and that can be disabled either during a natural disaster or war situation. Even by your own government in some cases.
But if I want to communicate, I just need a piece of wire, somewhere to hang it, and a 12v battery and I can communicate for thousands of miles.
Personally I just think that’s cool.
It’s capitalism. You get to choose who steals your personal data.
The thing is, every Boeing plane that has any problem is going to make it to the news right now. So it’s very hard to see what is relevant and what is just “one of those things”. So, this will make them look worse than they really are.
Having said that, they have problems. My opinion is that cost-cutting has created all their recent actual problems (MCAS, missing bolts, loose bolts etc) and I’d argue that unless the actual location(s) responsible for these problems is identified, the safest thing to do would be to recall ALL aircraft recently (last 3 years AT LEAST) serviced, repaired or had their configuration changed at a Boeing owned or subcontracted location should be reviewed for substandard work.
My reasoning here is that if we have loose/missing bolts on the 737 Max 8/9 and -900ER. It won’t stop there, it is going to almost certainly be an institutionalised problem of quality control slippage that could affect any aircraft maintenance, repair, or adjustment operation.
But, I’m not an aviation expert, so my opinion is worth very little.
I think this is the answer. Time for the companies to experience the bad side of fire and rehire.
So this one I thought I’d answer because I’ve done development in both NET framework and NET core and how it works is different for each (although things will usually work one way or another).
For .NET framework applications, if the program is compiled for windows (the .exe) you can usually run it with mono (you generally don’t need wine, but there’s some caveats that mean sometimes you should use wine). This will include programs with GUIs. If the NET framework app calls other windows programs it is best to run it via wine, you will need to install the net framework within wine, but there’s a winetricks command for that. There are a few things that are generally niche things that do not work in linux net framework’s mono though. By niche the one I can think of, is serial port events. Very annoyingly they all exist, so the program will run but the events will never trigger an action in the programs. Very annoying, but luckily very rare/niche stuff.
For .NET core, you can build directly to linux targets, and if the project you are working on does target NET core, then you can run the binary natively (note: you usually cannot build applications using forms to linux native binaries, for these you should run the windows exe with wine). You can also run the .exe files for this with wine and I’ve rarely had a problem with it.
Note that if you develop .NET applications, you won’t be able to build anything that uses the standard forms GUI under linux. There are other UI frameworks out there you can use that are multi platform. For this reason, for the projects that do use windows forms, I have a VM with windows on that I boot up for this reason.
In short, if you’re just running windows binaries, you will be generally fine with mono for framework and wine for core. For development “it’s complicated”.
