As someone that runs servers, having an immutable os (oe one that "wipes" on updates) is awesome.
The issue is that you are not in control of the config.
Learning to script over it might be worthwhile. Update, apply customisation script, back to normal.
It's good to learn declarative configuration
Ye, it's just a fancy /dev/null as a service
Classic ticket.
"It's broken, it doesn't work",
"what happened?",
"I ran it like the instructions said, and it didn't do anything",
"was there an error message?",
"I don't know. Something popped up, but it was in the way so I closed it",
"Do it again, don't close the error message, and tell me what it says"
Also, anything cryptographically secure will be reverse engineered in a few years. If the keys have to be cycled, then all old radios will no longer work.
Loads of examples of DRM being broken (iPhone jailbreaks, Nintendo switch emulators).
How long were DVDs around before they were cracked? 2-3 years?
Nintendo switch emulators came out a year or so after the switch was released.
I would like to think these sites can be used for multiple purposes.
Id prefer no new oil sites, tho. It's a cash grab to try and make the economy look like it isn't failing, at the expense of literally everyone
Because that's how a society functions, and that's how vaccines work.
When a vaccine is effective against a pandemic, it prevents it from spreading. If there are not enough places for the virus to live, or it can't get to a new place to continue living... it dies out.
There is a tipping point where enough people have been vaccinated that the virus can't proliferate... which means people at risk from rare side effects of vaccination don't have to be vaccinated.
People have undiagnosed health issues and end up in hospital from roller coasters or from tying their shoes.
Like how deforestation drives species to extinction. There are still forests around, but the species that go extinct can't get to another forest and end up dying.
Except vaccination has the positive effect of saving lives, whereas deforestation just ruins ecologies.
Yeh, freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
A permit from the city (and good planning) helps mitigate those consequences (safety for protesters and public) so there should be no reason to prosecute you for organising a protest. If something does go wrong, you have protection because you have done everything correctly.
You can absolutely shout "fire" in a theatre.
But if its without cause and it creates a panic/injuries/whatever, then you are responsible for what happens.
You won't be prosecuted for shouting "fire", that's free speech. You will be prosecuted for causing a panic, that's the consequences of your free speech.
Imagine the crisis that a public health bulletin stating "red meat should be cooked thoroughly" would cause. Heh heh heh
That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd rematch with two chicks at the same time?
Gateway is a more specific name for a server.
Like web host is a more specific name for a server.
A server isn't anything fancy, it just serves a service.
If that is just a relay between your phone and local devices, that's what it's serving
I haven't had any issues, but maybe I'm too mainstream
Way back when netflix was new, windows had a Home Theatre edition of windows.
Beautiful 10ft UI, worked with tuners, could record from them, had no issues dealing with auto-ripped DVDs and had a native netflix integration.
Then netflix pulled out, but windows HTPC was still pretty decent.
Nowadays, it's basically "you have to pay for everything" with a smart TV or a set top android box, maybe lucky enough to have a tuner in it.
Or it's high seas.
I don't think there is really a middle ground.
