Looks like another reinvention of the torrent.
No, it looks nothing like a reinvention of torrent.

And if you use magit for Emacs, it's also extremely easy to stage hunks selectively and easily: s to stage, cc to commit staged, ca to amend with staged, etc. This is the way: don't use the git CLI. Use your editor.
Frankly, it’s so good I use emacs just for git even when coding in other editors.

In a different messenger: people enable disappearing messages in WhatsApp not because of a threat model but because they don't want their phone to run out of space. The problem here is that messages are deleted for everybody in the chat and I saw people complaining about that in group chats. They would like that messages are deleted only for the people that enabled disappearing messages on their phones. Sometimes the creator of the group realized that everybody was an admin, set only themselves as admin and disabled disappearing messages.
I don't own an iPhone so I don't know for sure if old messages clog iPhones too but the article hints that this is the case.
Maybe Apple is happy to sell new phones with more storage to people that run out of space. Maybe iMessage is a tiny storage eater, maybe not. Photos, videos, vocal messages are on the phone forever too?

iOS has a built in tool that help you identify and clean up space hogs. It’s first recommendation is usually to remove large messages attachments. It will show you a list of all attachments (descending size), you select the ones you want to remove and hit delete. It also offers to automatically delete messages after some time. It’s a global option though, not per chat, not usable if you only want some to be ephemeral.
Huh you're right, they say their VPSes have 10gig but their dedicated boxes only have 1gig, even the really expensive ones. That seems backwards.
We had a fleet of dedicated hetzner boxes w/10 gbit, it’s just an option you get and pay a little extra for. Generally had good performance as well.

Is there any good reason for high-frequency trading to exist? People often complain about bitcoin wasting energy, but oddly this gets a free pass despite this being a definite net negative to society as far as I can tell.
Generally gets attributed with:
- Increased liquidity. Ensures there's actually something to be traded available globally, and swiftly moves it to places where it's lacking.
- Tighter spreads, the difference between you buying and then selling again is lower. Which often is good for the "actual users" of the market.
- Global prices / less geographical differences in prices. Generally you can trust you get the right price no matter what venue you trade at, as any arbitrage opportunity has likely already been executed on.
- etc..

You don't buy a Pi for performance. You buy it for peace of mind. If one dies you can easily find a replacement and just swap out the SD card.
Not that different for the prodesk/elitedesk small form factors IMHO. There’s a steady supply of cheap used ones available on most online marketplaces (there’s probably millions of them being cycled out of offices every year).
Get a new replacement one, swap over the NVME. Doesn’t have to be the same cpu, linux handles the rest.
A week ago I downloaded a couple of movies and shows from Netflix for my 6yo daughter, to watch on a 3hr flight. Worked nicely!
Today we made the return flight. She opens Netflix, and ⅔ of the films have now "expired" with no notice and she can't watch the one she wanted.
For the next flight I'll remember to pirate!
We only made it halfway before bedtime, but since she was coming back in two weeks, we decided to save the rest for her next visit.
Two weeks later, she returned, bouncing with excitement to finally see how the story ended. We opened Netflix, ready to hit play - and lo and behold… the movie had vanished from the catalog.
Be a cool uncle, be a pirate.
