I guess I'm an old fart because I just assumed all this security type stuff was mostly done at the software level.
Oh hell no.
Most of the state of the art attacks nowadays either hinge on using speculative execution to get the processor to cough up something it shouldn't, or excessive DRAM writes to induce spontaneous bit errors through electromagnetic coupling.
I'm not really seeing the problem here.
The state parties are not government. They are parties, with their duly appointed leadership and processes. I'm not particularly sympathetic to people who both...
A. Run as member of a party, and...
B. Don't try to either ingratiate themselves with the party and/or take the whole fucking thing over.
I have a great deal of respect for people who DO try to storm the gates and take a state party over. I've seen it happen before, with the Paulites in Iowa. It's beautiful when it happens.
Robby Starbuck strikes me as someone who's too lazy and impatient to build a coalition, and too much of an idealistic outsider to play with the team he has to work with today.
The steam engine was revolutionary but society survived contact with it. It was a self-limiting technology because it doesn't scale DOWN well. Even internal combustion wasn't a serious disruptor.
The Amish draw the line at electricity, not engines (many communities use gas tractors), and for good reason. Electricity divorced the use of the energy from the production of the energy. It was too convenient. Too scalable. It's impact on the individual was far greater.
I'm simply curious as to how any of you would describe your ideology.
Dickensianism.
I believe without any irony that humanity reached its peak immediately prior to electrification. The state of the valuation of labor, the amount of manual labor needed to sustain a certain standard of living, the valuation of energy, and the energy cost to transport energy to where it was needed had reached an equilibrium point.
What disrupted that balance was energy that required essentially nothing to transport. It will take centuries for society to adapt to a new normal where human labor is essentially valueless because of free transport of energy to wherever it's needed.
Feminism basically doesn't happen, AT ALL, without the electric washing machine and the electric kitchen.
In America...
Most full universities offer traditional dorms (with communal shower rooms) as well as hybrids and full apartments.
Most conventional dorm rooms are doubles, putting two occupants in roughly 16-20 m^2. The occupants usually loft the beds to increase the usable floor space. Rooms smaller than 14 m^2 tend to be for a single occupant, and are rarer (often filling out irregular voids in the building's design). At most colleges, upperclassmen have priority in picking their room assignments, and single rooms are picked off long before freshmen get a chance at them.
Hybrid dorms started appearing in the 90's, to increase flexibility by eliminating communal washrooms. In this configuration, a single bathroom is shared between two double rooms, making it much easier for a building to be co-ed.
University managed apartments take the hybrid concept one step further by essentially being a full 2 bed , 1 bath with an open plan kitchenette / living room open to 2-4 residents depending on whether someone wants to pay for a full room or share a room. These are popular with upperclassmen who've made a few friends, because they're usually comparatively cheap (often far from campus and built low budget like commercial apartments) and typically assign full room groups before dealing with unassigned singles. These also often include an in-unit washer and dryer.
I know "room sharing" is much more common in the US, at least in college.
That much is true. The overwhelming majority of full time undergrads in the US wind up in some sort of room sharing or apartment sharing arrangement during college.
Same thing that happened to a lot of the earlier online "dissident communities." Trump.
Trump was part of it.
But I also believe Jordan Peterson and Douglas Murray were part of it. Whatever path to fame the Spearhead crowd might have had pre-Trump evaporated when you started getting respected academics selling the same ideas but with the rough edges filed off.
Fast forward to today and you have the fukking Hoover Institution talking about culture war.
Yeah....
Tell me you don't understand the Matrix without telling me you don't understand the Matrix
Looking for a secure personal cloud basically. I don't want a blank server space where I have to setup and configure a OS. Don't really want to have it more technical than setting up an SSH connection.
Why do you need an OS?
Sounds to me like you just need dumb storage. S3 will work for that.
If you didn't notice, they're not too afraid of him prior to ESB. The Empire is, well, an Empire. As long as the likes of Tarkin, Yularen, and Thrawn (and even Xizor) are around, Vader isn't the unchallenged top dog. He may be the emperor's enforcer, but he has peers who also have Palpy's favor. People he can't move against without really good reasons.
Yes, we're Republicans. Democracy is a Greek recipe for chaos.
SM, I'm a committee member in my local party. You know what it's taught me? Our people are very, very dumb. Well meaning, but terminally dumb. Episodes of stupidity that would take pages for me to describe. Idiocy you wouldn't even believe if you weren't there.
