  • Fedia.io was pretty broken before switching from kbin to mbin. Depending on when you created the account, it may have just been busted.

  • Xi warned Biden during summit that Beijing will reunify Taiwan with China
  • It could happen. In China, among many other places, same-sex hand holding isn't uncommon among friends and doesn't indicate a romantic attachment. I dont imagine Biden and Xi have that kind of relationship, though.

  • There are many ways to setups full disk encryption on Linux, but the most common all involve LUKS. Providing a password at mount (during boot, for a root partition or perhaps later for a "data" volume) is a but more secure and more frequently done, but you can also use things like smart cards (like a Yubikey) or a keyfile (basically a file as the password rather than typed in) to decrypt.

    So, to actually answer your question, if you dont want to type passwords and are okay with the security implementations of storing the key with/near the system, putting a keyfile on removable storage that normally stays plugged in but can be removed to secure your disks is a common compromise. Here's an approachable article about it.

    I understood it to mean "the end of something", though I guess "repeating the game" might be more concrete. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's poetry.

  • The difference, as I understand it, is Beeper hasn't claimed to not be doing that. Sunbird/Nothing touted E2EE and that was a lie.

  • Biden Administration raises social cost of carbon (used in regulatory decisions) from $51/ton to $190/ton
  • The full article is paywalled, but the abstract of this meta-analysis states "In the past 10 years, estimates of the social cost of carbon have increased from US$9 per tCO2 to US$40 per tCO2 for a high discount rate and from US$122 per tCO2 to US$525 per tCO2 for a low discount rate."

  • Here's a slide describing how depressions are represented, and here is a topographical map of a sinkhole showing the hashes.

    That said, I had to look pretty hard for a map with those marks. Numbers are much more common.
