The main thing I would point to is that Matrix itself only does text; the Element client uses Jitsi to add in audio/video calls and screensharing […]

Matrix VoIP is a thing, and it’s usable for audio & video on many clients, element and fluffychat come to mind, but probably more.

element call is also coming into element (and possibly other clients) for video calls and screensharing

My other gripes are just with the user interface, […] it really doesn’t look like Discord

why does that matter?

why not matrix?

way too specific… is this the plot to a book? if so what’s it called?

Those tests are worth more than four years of college?

Yes a test to figure out if you can perform your job is significantly more valuable than a collage degree, this doesn’t mean that college has no value, mind you, it just means that knowing how to do the job and knowing that you fit in with the company culture is vastly more important.

Go get a bunch of I.T. certifications. Get your CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+ Get a Microsoft MCP or MCSA

Those certifications are useless, they look good on your resume because managers love showcasing their staff’s “certifications”, as many companies that don’t understand IT put value on the certifications more than anything else, but they don’t actually provide you any value in of themselves. Sure it might be interesting how many network switches you can daisy chain according to the standards, but it has no real value most of the time, if that’s information you need in your job it’s something you can just look up, HOWEVER, asking you random questions that pertain to the job during the interview IS a good way to understand if you’re a good candidate, and, often, the actual response doesn’t matter as much as your reasoning for getting to that response.

When an interviewer at google asks you how many pennys it would take to make a structure as tall as the empire state building, it doesn’t matter what the answer is, truly, even if you got the exact number of pennys, just saying the number would mean you don’t pass the interview, your answer would be worth less than an answer that gets it wrong by 75% but is well reasoned, what they care about is how you come up to the conclusion that you come up with, the solution is useless.

how would you know

How about using LDAP? It’s a bit complicated to learn but it’s easy to integrate it in a bunch of applications and it allows you to manage user accounts and permissions in one central place.

Maybe try LLDAP which is a modern implementation (haven’t used it myself) which is designed to be simplified and I assume more welcoming to newcomers.

is not exactly Google Maps in terms of usability, but it’s a functional map

I would personally say that it’s better than Google Maps. It’s more accurate at least

click the button that says more then add a shortcut to your favorite map service

in this case the instruction set is extremely small (and includes open source verilog, so you could even fab it yourself)

quote from the website:

The CPU of the TKey is a modified version of PicoRV32, 32-bit RISC-V running at 18 MHz. Modifications includes a fast 32x32 multiplier implemented using the multiplier blocks in the iCE40 DSPs as well as a HW trap function.

The supported instruction set supported by the CPU is a subset of RV32I. Specifically it includes compressed instructions, but excludes instructions for:

• Counters
• System
• Synch
• CSR access
• Change level
• Trap redirect
• Interrupt
• MMU

The instruction set implemented by the CPU also includes multiplication instructions from the RV32IC_Zmmul (-march=rv32iczmmul) extension. Division is not supported.

Any illegal, unsupported instruction will halt the CPU. The halted CPU is detected by the hardware, which will blink the RGB LED with red to indicate the error state. There is no way for the CPU to exit the trap state besides a power cycle of the device.

Note that the CPU has no support for interrupts. No instructions, ports or logic.

there are use cases, such as security, where you want as few instructions as possible, so a full ARM processor isn’t the best idea. You may want to read the threat model page: https://tillitis.se/products/threat-model/

The more you know! I don’t follow their blog so I didn’t realize this. This is a pleasant surprise and yet another reason to love Mullvad.

The specs are literally the reason why people would buy this. It’s basically the best device we have available that can be used as a base for devices handling secure computation, or software handling secure computation. Think of a FIDO2 key, or a gpg smartcard, all secure and verifiable

I don’t want to believe this, my brain is refusing to process that statement, I have stared at that article in a state of disbelief for a minute. Surely someone can’t be that stupid, right?

I have heard plenty of brain dead arguments by anti-encryption people, but this is by far the stupidest. There is no way, there is just no way that he’s so… I want to say brain dead, but that would imply that there is even a brain there for it to be dead.

Regardless of political affiliation, or even the individual’s stance on encryption, surely there can’t be a single person that heard that statement and didn’t laugh at it, right?

Perhaps the Australian stereotype of being upside down holds some truth, considering his… utterance; he must walk on his hands and constantly get bit by snakes and attacked by drop bears on his daily commute, that’s the only explanation for how someone can make such a statement

it’s so rare that it basically only exists in well run companies and well run FOSS projects (which are few and far between)

Doesn’t match my experience. The worst thing about it is ping, but download is mostly always around 100-200.

In my case I’m my own server runner but hey I wouldn’t mind a donation 😂
