Let me preface this by saying I don't see the value of 99% of NFTs either, but it is technically possible to make one that stores the image on the blockchain or on IPFS. Most don't, obviously, but it is possible.

Dwarf Fortress.

This requires an Apple iPhone XR or newer, as the face scan utilizes the TrueDepth sensor.

I'd rather take a plaster mold of my face than have to use a specific phone to order a VR headset.

Ha, abusing fork for asynchronous saves is clever. I hope they are aware of the following restriction:

After a fork() in a multithreaded program, the child can safely call only async-signal-safe functions (see signal-safety(7)) until such time as it calls execve(2).

Right? That's the thing. Car thieves don't care if the tool is illegal; they're already planning on stealing a car.

If you make the tool illegal, you're just making it harder for security experts who do care about the law.

Yes we should allow them, because the problem isn't that this tool is available. The problem is that cars and other devices aren't more secure.

If you broke into a bank vault with a screwdriver, you don't ban screwdrivers; you get mad at the bank.

I'd like Gentoo ebuilds to run in a fully isolated namespace/container with only the dependencies explicitly enabled by portage configuration. Something like a mix of nix but with the ebuild syntax.

You use cards for offline authentication (bars/festivals/etc.), and use a different process for online authentication.

Proving someone has the physical card in their possession (which is what a reader does) isn't really useful for proving identity when you can't also check the picture.

Yes, this. Don't put your whole home directory in git.

Pine and BeagleBoard have some decent options, but they'll always be more expensive than rpi because of the economy of scale.

[–] cadekat@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

Chiming in to also recommend Gentoo. It's a pretty stable rolling release distro, with access to pretty new packages when necessary.
