Seconded. Few people alive have contributed as much to society.

Funny, because last time I said I thought it highly suspicious that GrapheneOS supports only hardware built by a surveillance corporation, I was told tinfoil hat.

I am also one of those people who "don’t usually do a lot of networking stuff", so here's a question.

The article contains this:

    #replace eth0 with the interface open to the internet (e.g might be wlan0 if wifi)
    PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -A FORWARD -o %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
    PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -D FORWARD -o %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

However, I use mullvad and the .conf files that they provide contains none of this, and works just fine. It contains just: interface, private key, address, dns and peer public key, allowed ips, entrypoint.

So, which one is right and why?

Powerful entities getting a pass, bad.

Individuals getting a pass, good.

See, it just depends on how you slice the Venn diagram. With a bit of imagination you'll be able to start connecting the dots by yourself in no time.

Would you share with us what kind of job you do?

I keep seeing people saying how amazing it is to code with these things, and I keep failing at it. I suspect that they're better at some kinds of codebases than others.

I think that technical people tend to see their area of expertise the most fundamental one, from which everything else derives.

This guy specialized in security and so he thinks that the concepts that he learned underlying everything, and everything else is just application.

But he's making the same mistake as everyone else. Everybody has gaps in their knowledge, it's just that he chooses to talk down to people who have their in their knowledge in _his_ area of expertise. Physicists do this a lot (I should know: I trained as a physicist so I know a lot of physicists). "Physics is really everything, everything else could be deducted from physics in principle, so no point spending time thinking about it". He carried this attitude into the next area of expertise he learned.

I'm with the project manager. "How does the gorb fleem the leemaflop?" Don't know, don't care, you do your job and I do mine. Time is finite and I'd rather spend my time on things I find intellectually stimulating, not IT security. The irony is, if everybody could reliably answer those questions, he wouldn't have a job. I find the lack of understanding quite disgusting frankly.

I use Obsidian every day, though I'm not a "poweruser" - I don't think I've ever installed an extension (presumably there'll be some default ones that are installed). Yes, I know Obsidian.

> Anki’s fatal flaw is that you think you are learning content, but you’re actually just memorizing rectangles.

I totally believe this. It's 100% in line with my observations about Duolingo. I know people who put in a lot of time into Duolingo and learned nothing. I gave it a try and despite the fact that I put maybe 50 hours into Italian (estimate) I learned nothing. I could get all the cards right, but I didn't learn any Italian (Over the years I've learned 3 languages in addition to my native language, so I know it's not my problem.) Eventually I realized that I did learn something but it wasn't the language. Somehow I just knew the right answers.

> The first sentence of the documentation already says it: "turn any set of notes into a powerful database

No, horrible job at explaining. What does it mean to turn any set of notes into a powerful database? What does it mean to "turn"? Does it mean that a file will become a database? Or does it mean that a file can be interpreted as a database? And why set of notes? If I have a single note, can I turn that into a database too? Are the records of the database files, or items in a file? What is happening when I type ![[Untitled.base]]? Is the file where I typed that a database now? Or does that text assume that the file named Untitled must be a database?

They do a horrible job at explaining it.
