Meta is so concerned with this "leak" that there's a pull request with the magnet link sitting here for days:

Zooming in...

That wouldn't be a problem if one believes Assange's theory that Google is not what it seems. As the years go by I tend to think that too, it has a symbiotic relationship with the government, to the point it can be thought of as an unofficial branch.

Global Thermonuclear War? :)

All you need to do now is detect her gravitational waves.

I meant this:

The actual news is that for the first time a collision event was detected with both gravitational waves and light simultaneously. The Atlantic article even has an image. This produced a wealth of knowledge, including how gold is created, alluded in the title.

Grab them while you can. I picked up a TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 v2.0 (european version) just days ago from ebay. Works with OpenWRT like a charm, does ~150mbits across two walls in 5GHz (faster if closer). This is one example where the latest firmware is locked but there's still hardware with older versions out there. They admit as much themselves:

The EU firmware was specialized for CE certification and can't be downgraded to other version, please click here for choosing your region and selecting the most suitable firmware version to upgrade.

The first computer I saw was my dad's Amstrad CPC 464.

Soon I had my own, a Timex TC2068. This is an improved version of the american TS2068 produced by Timex of Portugal, featuring improved Spectrum compatibility, in great part thanks to its emulator cartridge. I understand this is a relatively sought-after item in the american market.

Here's some photos of the portuguese factory in Costa da Caparica from 1986 if anyone's curious. This factory is a bit of a legend for portuguese geeks because it was Portugal's contribution to 8-bit computing with several innovations developed, such as the Timex FDD3000, until the factory was allegedly transferred to Scotland in a shady deal.

He also claims that:

Obviously "don't use Pulse Audio" doesn't help with the vision of having a unified Linux audio backend.

I didn't know it was firefox's mandate to envision anything in the name of linux. As an open source project they should understand the benefit, even need, to allow different tools according to the job, in this case audio backends. It's not like ALSA is an obscure API -- It's the native kernel API that even PulseAudio uses! It should ALWAYS be supported!

What.cd Shuts Down Following Reported Raids in France

What.cd wasn't a mere torrent site, it was a library of alexandria for audiophiles. What was lost will probably never be recovered. This should be a crime against humanity, but no, muh copyrights...

You have, in effect, described EFF's Privacy Badger addon. It works heuristically to block cookies from leaking from their original domains, except when told otherwise (some exceptions are included by default -- so-called yellowlist, check out "How does Privacy Badger work?" section). I've been using it for some time and seems to work very well with little breakage. Rarely have to whitelist something.

You might be closer to the truth than you think. I was about to install snapcraft's ebuilds for Gentoo (snap-confine and snapd) but then noticed the systemctl calls and unit files. Adding insult to injury, they didn't bother to list systemd as a dependency. Hopefully there's not a real dependency on systemd and it's just a matter of writing init scripts, but in the meantime, thanks but no thanks.

There's a fork called ConsoleKit2 since last year which is maintained and, rejoice, there's no systemd in the minimum requirements list!

This thing is so old that Amazon even sells it.

If you care about Open Hardware, then C.H.I.P. seems the obvious choice. Their FAQ claims that "We are still in the process of testing and refining the whole C.H.I.P. family. As we hit design completion, we'll release our design files." and they've already released some stuff on github.
