The relationship between money and the physical world is complex and often misunderstood, with economists offering different perspectives on its role and nature. The conflation of money and things is a deep source of confusion, with money payments often treated as equivalent to the things they represent.
A user cprkrn recovered their 5 BTC wallet after 11 years using Claude AI, which uncovered an old backup file and a password configuration bug. The wallet contained almost $400,000 worth of Bitcoin, which cprkrn had been trying to access since changing their password while intoxicated.
Have you ever wondered what really happens between the moment you press the power button and the moment your login screen shows up? That gap—usually some seconds—hides one of the most intricate initialization sequences in computing. Today I want to walk you through it. This is the first article in a series where I’ll try to make sense of the Linux kernel internals together with you. We’ll ...

Numa is a DNS resolver that provides Oblivious DNS over HTTPS (ODoH) protocol, which anonymizes DNS queries by splitting the path between two independent operators. This allows users to route their queries through two separate organizations, providing better privacy compared to traditional DNS services.
The Linux kernel's random number generator uses a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) for both /dev/random and /dev/urandom, with the main difference being that /dev/random blocks when the entropy pool is low, while /dev/urandom does not. The article argues that /dev/urandom is sufficient for most cryptographic use cases and that blocking /dev/random can lead to ...

The really neat thing about GGUF is that it's just one file. Compare this to a typical safetensors repo on huggingface, where there's a pile of necessary JSON files scattered around - or to a typical ollama model, which is an OCI with layers json, go templates, etc inside. The contents are roughly the same, but GGUF makes it more ergonomic by keeping all this stuff in a single file. ...
