I’m not sure I’m comfortable idolizing someone living like this

Perhaps we need one that does the opposite, for the real site

It became less of a choice for many after they sadly had to disable port forwarding.

Would be cool to see the source code. Is that saved anywhere other than that floppy in the museum?

I found screentime does work - I activated it for my spouse and only I know the PIN. It limits her social media and YT time to 45m/day.

There are a few uncensored public access LLMs to ask these questions.

This is interesting work to break guardrails, but if the goal is to access this information of harmful content, in the end, I would be looking for other easier solutions.

Trackers are not relics - they're used exclusively in private tracker websites. Public-access torrents would more commonly use DHT and PEX for discovery.

How would you explain performance improvements? Enabling new hardware or new use cases that existing systems do not support?

Many websites do this. Facebook resets your feed sorting preferences, as does LinkedIn (sort by Recent, then refresh the page, it will be Top again).

> WDC WUH722222ALE6L4 22TiB

Careful... that is 22 TB, not 22 TiB. Disk marketing still uses base 10. TiB is base 2.

22 TB = 20 TiB

More specifically:

Same for me. I have a PhD from a top ten university in Computer Science, with publications, and strong but shorter work history.

I interviewed with a well-known startup here on HN that required a lengthy application material submission, which I spent a few hours on. Then talked with the CTO and felt the conversations went well. After two conversations I was ghosted.

Submitted to a large software company in Washington state which indicated they had "up to 100% remote" for specific roles. In the application I indicated "not available for relocation" and have only received automated rejection emails for them. I mention that last point because I suspect that may have been the reason.

I have also applied to roles from the last few Who's Hiring posts in positions that are more of a stretch for my line of work but with overlap in core technologies, but have not received so much as a conversation. One just silently rejected my application (I had to view in their workday site to see what the status was).

On the other hand, large companies like Google, Apple, etc. are (or were) very eager to move forward to interview me, even for multiple roles. But I cannot relocate and had to inform the recruiters I am unfortunately inflexible with this. Ironic, I find.

NVIDIA, Meta, many smaller companies (gitlab, duckduckgo, kagi, and other startups found here) seem to be the only tech employers that explicitly advertise remote work is okay with them. But some roles in the smaller companies aren't always a great match for my interests (maybe the culture would be, so I am trying to keep an open mind).
