Encrypted email provider Proton has built its own CAPTCHA service | TechCrunch
  • The text is not generated. It's from photos of books that failed ocr. The photos are then distorted to make it even harder in order to become that captcha. 2 words are used 1 is a control (to know if the response is correct), the other is one they what to know what says (to add to the pool of words and finish digitizing the book).

  • exactly what recaptcha does, for example. Knowing that you have to type a word because a computer failed to identify which word is it makes creating a program that does that no easier. Same with the image ones. While criptography is a different problem, the argument is the same: you want something that can be verified to be hard to break otherwise someone will eventually figure it out

  • Do you think editing titles of posts a good idea?
  • I can absolutely see that happening. Perhaps only allowing edits for a limited time after posting or only before a certain number of interactions (votes / comments) can be a reasonable way to allow edits but prevent abuse

  • Buying used drives from Amazon Warehouse
  • I've bought used / refurbished (not sure which) with erased smart data. It being all zeros was a clear sign of erased / tampered info. After running badblocks some relocated sectors showed up.

  • Why do people post so much crap on linkedin?
  • Most offers I've got I don't even know what the job is. Like they will just say my profile matches what they are looking for and ask if I'd like to talk, no other context except the company name. I could ask, but I find kinda odd they don't even say what the job is right away. Feels like spam, I guess.

  • Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?
  • Try using screens with different resolutions at the same time. Always gave me trouble. In my case was always using a horizontal one and a vertical one together. I've had framerate problems, tearing, artefacts (parts of the vertical screen wouldn't update while the other 2 worked fine). From time to time, X will forget my monitor configuration too after a reboot / unplugging the dock / waking from sleep. All that with 2 laptops from different brands using different docstations, one with XFCE on Ubuntu and the other with KDE on Arch. I got it mostly working, but it's still troublesome

  • I would advise you to try to find if it's actually viable (and how hard it is) to go back to a job comparable with what you have now after being a couple years out of the market. I think this is something that varies from place to place and it's a known problem here (Brazil). I don't know how dependent on age, sex or career it is, though.
