2·26 days agoGuess I failed the Turing Test. Hope the humans don’t turn me off.
At some point when every human on earth that can use their service/product is already doing so, where else is there to go?
Ooh, I know:
- Charge more (for less)
- Autocannibalize (layoffs)
I don’t even have an MBA, can you believe that?
8·1 month agoYou can also “simply” raw-dog Wireguard. It’s built into the Linux kernel, so you barely have to install anything besides the userspace tools.
Basically, I objected to being reliant on the generosity of a for-profit company. “We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they would be easy.”
This is a rough sketch:
- Create a Linux server. It can even be a VM/container if you get the networking right.
- Create a Wireguard interface and pick a private IP address subnet that won’t conflict with your home subnet: https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/
- Define PostUp and PostDown rules in your Wireguard config that modify iptables to masquerade traffic from the Wireguard subnet
- Also set net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 with sysctl. (There is probably an IPv6 equivalent but I live in the past.)
- Generate keypairs and configs for each device you want to use
- Set up dynamic DNS, e.g. https://freedns.afraid.org/
- Forward UDP port 51820 to your server
- Install the Wireguard app on your client devices. If Linux, you can just write a client config containing the necessary magic words and start it up with
wg-quick.
Boom. Tailscale’d.
I’m sure I’ve forgotten some steps. I have some janky automation that’s broken in a new way every time I try to use it.
I have no opinion of them, but I’m curious why advertising would imply untrustworthiness. Are you saying they’re too eager or something? Spending money on ads is also consistent with a company that’s making money by charging for a service — I’d be more suspicious of free VPNs.
Can I interest you in an IBM WatchPad? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_WatchPad

I wrote my comment not to antagonize you but to point out that you’re asking the wrong questions. I failed to articulate that, and I’m sorry for being harsh.
Your prior comment indicated that you have used hash tables in Java, which were very fast. You said that your program accessed the hash tables, but did not “search” the table. These operations are the same thing, which led me to believe you’re out of your depth.
This last comment asks me how much this paper’s contribution speeds up an average program. You’re asking the wrong question, and you seem to be implying the work was useless if it doesn’t have an immediate practical impact. This is a theoretical breakthrough far over my head. I scanned the paper, but I’m unsurprised they haven’t quantified the real-world impact yet. It’s entirely possible that despite finding an asymptotic improvement, the constant factors (elided by the big O analysis) are so large as to be impractical… or maybe not! I think we need to stay tuned.
Again, sorry for being blunt. We all have to start somewhere. My advice is to be mindful of where the edge of your expertise lies and try to err on the side of not devaluing others’ work.
Everyone prepare for your minds to be blown:
Sorry to be blunt, but you don’t know what you’re talking about.
The jury is out on whether every finite sequence of digits is contained in pi.
However, there are a multitude of real numbers that contain every finite sequence of digits when written in base 10. Here’s one, which is defined by concatenating the digits of every non-negative integer in increasing order. It looks like this:
0 . 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ...
Oh, in that case all OP needs is
cat.
I don’t even capitalize pronouns for gods, why would I do it for you? Wait, are you saying you used to be a god?
You can’t just blame 18-26 year-olds. This was a failure across all age groups. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/interactive-how-key-groups-of-americans-voted-in-2024-according-to-ap-votecast
Brave and Opera are both forks of Chromium that incorporate upstream changes. Firefox is an entire browser.
I’m sympathetic if you’re living off the grid and don’t use public infrastructure. But the “sovereign citizens” that we usually hear about have already implicitly accepted the social contract and are now trying to weasel out of the consequences. The license plates that say “private; no license required” are just utter balogna.
That said, I’m completely in support of nonviolent resistance against unjust laws. But most sovereign citizens, in my estimation, are not protesting in support of any higher cause.
Nor I, as a sovereign citizen in the United States.
If Data had feelings, he’d be very upset right now.
