Thank-you. Thought so but wasn’t sure.

Does prevent side-loading effectively cause problems for open source F-Droid? Apologies for ignorance.

Is the name intended as pure irony?

AFAF.

UniFi seem to have dabbled with 2.5 GBE briefly and then jumped to 10. I’m guessing that 10 will be the way to go.

You’re looking at cat 6A patch leads rather than 7. 7 requires different but RJ45 compatible connectors, I believe. Yes, I’m still trying to understand what the difference is.

I have a 2.5G router, the CG Max. A 1 G switch (waiting for a reasonably priced 10 G) and a 10 G WAP. It’s a bit of a mess!

Does one good to be challenged (at least) occasionally.

I learned something new.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the heads up… Really wasn’t expecting that.

Apologies to OP. I don’t know how to reference users: marauding_gibberish142@lemmybdzero

In terms of physical connections you’ve said that the card needs the x4. Not sure what there is to say further.

Can’t get a 30 cm ruler into a 15 cm pencil case.

Maybe I’ve totally misunderstood your post.

I don’t think you do.

A x1 will fit in a x4 but not the other way around.

Thank-you for your eloquence and loquacious reply.

Ethics. Police.

In the same post.

I’m not police, but I am in the legal industry. Ethics is talked about a lot. Not seen much.

I think most phones have recording apps.

I have always hated ‘find’ with the non-standard options. Basic RegEx is easy to use and fd became a firm favourite from the off.

Running uBlock-Origin for many years. I gave an example not an instance I use.

Things like Privacy Badger block Discord.

Seriously, you’re complaining now? The privacy apps have been blocking Discord for many years.

Turns out we’ve moved on from not realising that deodorant was required in the first place.

Thank-you for the post. Reminded me to remove it. I use Voyager.

Same same.

If you don’t have tested backups, you don’t have a backup.

that’s unrelated - AES-256 for example can be executed just fine on either a 32- or 64-bit machine. in theory there’s nothing stopping you from running it on an 8-bit or 16-bit CPU (although other considerations related to the size of AES’s lookup tables make this unlikely). from some random googling, here is an implementation of Chacha20, another 256-bit encryption algorithm, for 8-bit microcontrollers.

I started out programming a 6502a in 1980, 680X0 a little later in 87, so I get that bit, but it’s easier doing operations on a larger register. I remember writing code for 8 bit multiplication of 32 bit floating points.

I enjoyed and understood the rest of your prose though. Didn’t do much/any programming/low level after say 2005, and regret it now. Trying to re-learn but things have moved on so much.

I take that there isn’t much motivation in moving to 128 because it’s big enough; it’s only 8 cycles (?) to fill a 512 (that can’t be right?).
