MH series always does one big (console) one small (mobile) in that order. Last gen World was the big and Rise was the small.

This is probably gonna be the big one :)

Or just anyone who's worked at a help desk.

And I did the same as a kid in the late 2000s in order to play World of Warcraft. Found someone's info on a random online dump, filled it in and didn't think more about the id theft. What I then learned is that there is NO "fake" IDs that can pass this test. It's just plain old ID theft of actual people.

The ID itself is encoded as 3-digit city/3-digit district/8-digit dob/and 4 random digits. There is no "generated" name that works with a specific ID since the name isn't encoded anywhere. Most reputable vendors perform the check backed by an actual government DB.

The problem is that it IS the exact same info used to apply for bank accounts, loans, mobile phone numbers, etc. And nobody bats an eye when a pirated gaming app asks for it. This could be legitimate, but I'm more willing to say this is someone's ID collection scheme. If that's the case, it could be doing more than just collecting IDs (cause why not?) or it's at least facilitating more ID theft.

Btw this is most likely a scam. This is the equivalent of asking for your name, DOB, and SSN on a random app you found (the ID contains both location and DOB). Even if you have an actual ID DO NOT FILL THIS OUT. Delete, purge, and move on.

Haskell is still as beautiful as the day it was first made.

Except for class methods. We don't talk about methods.

I would argue that this is something that should be taught in every undergraduate Operating Systems course. But if someone posting it here benefits teens, self-taught hobbyists, and old-timers getting back into the field so be it.

Some people play games to turn their brains off. Other people play them to solve a different type of problem than they do at work. I personally love optimizing, automating, and min-maxing numbers while doing the least amount of work possible. It's relatively low-complexity (compared to the bs I put up with daily), low-stakes, and much easier to show someone else.

Also shout-out to CDDA and FFT for having some of the worst learning curves out there along with DF. Paradox games get an honorable mention for their wiki.

Also if the router blocks icmp for some reason you can always manually send an ARP request and check the response latency.

So let me get this straight, you want other people to work on a project that you yourself think is a hassle to maintain for free while also expecting the same level of professionalism of a 9to5 job?

This is solving a problem we DO have, albeit in a different way. Email is ancient, the protocol allows you to self identify as whoever you want. Let's say I send an email from the underworld (server ip address) claiming I'm Napoleon@france (user@domain), the only reason my email is rejected is because the recipient knows Napoleon resides on the server France, not underworld. This validation is mostly done via tricky DNS hacks and a huge part of it is built on top of Google's infrastructure. If for some reason Google decides I'm not trustworthy, then it doesn't matter if I'm actually sending Napoleon's mail from France, it's gonna be recognized as spam on most servers regardless.

A decentralized chain of trust could potentially replace Google + all these DNS hacks we have in place. No central authority gets to control who is legitimate or not. Of all the bs use cases of block chain I think this one doesn't seem that bad. It's building a decentralized chain of trust for an existing decentralized system (email), which is exactly what "block chain" was originally designed for.

Is there a specific reason you're looking at shadowsocks? The original developer has been MIA for years. People who used it in the past largely consider it insecure for its original stated purpose

trojan-gfw is a better modern replacement. However that requires a certificate in order to work. You can easily get one via lets encrypt.

At this point, let Shadowsocks, obfs, and kcp die a graceful death like GoAgent before it did.

I don't think either of us is the target audience here. I can see a "cheaper" (questionable) Pro laptop being useful for students going into college with a limited budget. An undergrad CS/graphic design degree shouldn't tax an 8gb machine too much, assuming students shut down everything else when doing their once-a-semester major rendering/compiling/model training. If people just want Macbook pro software with more ports, a "cheaper" machine is better than none. Personally, I would still get a used/refurbished machine though.

That being said, my current laptop workload tends to be emacs, qpdfview, Firefox, and tmux on EL9. For the remaining stuff, I usually just spin up a VM then ssh/xrdp into it. As for slack, teams, jabber, etc, I'm happy to report I've been out of industry/IT for 1+ years and don't plan on going back anytime soon. For all I care, Apple can call their models unicorn edition. As long as it sells it's not stupid.
