I just discovered cgroups, so it's cool to see some practical examples here.

Looks like not far off having easily managed load-balancing for I/O which is pretty cool.

This is so insane, I went full circle to "there's no way these guys are that stupid, they must actually be on to something!"

ISPs still have data caps?

That should be outlawed by now.

It can definitely get ridiculous, but it is unavoidable when you really start to develop a taste for music.

I have plenty of things that are really old, but the longest in daily use would probably be a Galileo thermometer my dad gave me in my early teens. It looks like this, but the colours have long since faded:

I was too tired to investigate further last night. That is the case here, sections of data are hashed and used to create the certs:

Which means that there isn't a way to edit the photo and have the cert match, and also no way to compress or change the file encoding without invalidating the cert.

Maybe I am misunderstanding here, but what is going to stop anyone from just editing the photo anyway? There will still be a valid certificate attached. You can change the metadata to match the cert details. So... ??

I was almost sad I didn't own Microsoft stock and then I remembered I hate Microsoft and I would never buy Microsoft stock.

We have contemporary definitions of programming and computing, that are obviously the definitions used in contemporary articles. No one is going to look at a bunch of pebbles and say 'it's a computer.' Sure, technically you could compute with them, but then we should be calling the first person who used pebbles to count things the first computer programmer. Which is absurd.

Writing code on paper could be considered programming ("to work out a sequence of operations to be performed by" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/program#dictionary-entry-2) but sheets of paper are not a computer.
