Brb training a bot on 4chan posts.

Of of the osmocom stuff is not in GitHub, which includes open source cellular network stacks, and assorted radio stuff like Rtl-sdr drivers.

The simple fact that lemmy federates posts will mitigate the problems posed by this. For example if they want your IP, they need to go to lemmy.today, but for mine they will need to go to tchncs.de. If we were using reddit, they would be able to get everyone's address with just one request. The more small instances there are, the harder it becomes.

Yes, but differentiating between actual power and apparent power will be difficult without building a rather complex circuit. A dedicated power meter will tell you, as well as computing the power factor. On the flip side, a TV's switching power suppy should have a good power factor, so apparent power (AC amps * RMS volts) is close to actual power.

This would be real nice if this let you easly run commands as SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller from a script, not just as Admin. Not only can Admin be reached from the "Run as Admininstrator" menu option, is actualy quite limited for messing around with system files. For the most part, Admin lets you mess with system settings/registry, and user files, but not with a lot if system/application files without TAKEOWNing everything.

OTA TV will probably work, depending on how close you are to a transmitter, you might even be able to get away with an unbent paperclip as an antenna.

Looking at other people's schematics and messing around with making changes to them is a great way to pick up new tricks, but I recomend you also lean some of the basics. Experimentation is the best way to learn and internalize, so make sure do do plenty of that. I highly recomend you pick up a decent solderless breadboard, assortment of parts, an adjustable lab power suppy, multimeter, and osciloscope. For assembling projects in a more permenent way, I would recomend a perfboard, some thin insulated wire, solder and flux, and a good soldering iron.

Someone who beleaves that they can get out of some or all the obligations using some magic pseudo-legal phrases.

It started as people trying to imitate rich people exploiting legal loopholes, but then some grifter "guru" found them and decided to make a quick buck giving rather bad legal advice. This worked, causing in more grifters getting in, with depressing/hilarious results.

Humans are diploid. We have 2 independent copies of every chromosome in each cell, one from each parent. They function as "backup" copies. If an error is on one, as long as the other one has a good copy of the effected gene, nothing happens. However, if parents are related, it becomes possible to receive two identical (or nearly identical) copies, and lose that backup. In that case, any error/mutations will cause problems.

Well that's another one for the "list of companies that are never getting my money".

cdparanoia is old but has always worked fine, even on crappy drives and damaged disks. Even many modern tools like cyanrip just use cdparanoia to do the actual ripping, just wrapping it in a new UI. You will need to convert the output with another tool, but this is quite easy. (For mp3 disks, just mount them and copy the files, no special tools needed)
