Thanks, I always wondered why this was the case with latin text from CJK countries, as they use the same computers and software than the west, they should be able to do kerning right. I guess the original designers of those fonts are to blame for not making the latin characters "properly" monospace so that it still works.


Can give the designers some slack, drawing 5000+ gliphs is not an easy task.


The latin part of CJK fonts is often some crappy Times clone that they throw in as an afterthought.


That's ignoring how video game wikis are used. People will google " " and completely miss the wiki. Or " ". Etc. So reachability and proper indexing by search engines is a must.

I've hit this on a few wikis where, for some (at the time inexplicable) reason, I'd get only the crappy Fandom wiki with above queries, and a good wiki when searching only for " wiki" after seeing a link to it on reddit.

When the reason is to move away from Fandom, get people what they are looking for, and perhaps attract contributors, this is an issue. Your average gamer won't route through the Wiki's main page, rather rely on the top Google search result for their issue.

Well, it's a "must" because over the years people have been trained to do this, instead of going directly to a quality website they trust. However, this has also trained website owners to neglect their brand and focus only on SEO, leading to the ad-infested wiki sites we have today.

Google went through all of this many (many) years ago with the "content farm" problem, so this is nothing new, really.


Quite the opposite, RAM is always the issue. More specifically, high bandwidth RAM.


All calls at least appear with a Caller ID from France (+33). Are they really from france or just spoofing them is anyone's guess (not really, former French colonies in the Magrheb like Morocco make good money running call centers for French numbers).


Yup, having a French number is unbearable without automatic blacklist apps. I definitely notice it when it breaks after an iOS update, is start getting multiple calls a day. For any french here with an iPhone: Begone works great and has community lists for spam numbers.

The SMS are getting out of hand too, they send you a pre-recorded MP3 in addition to the picture too. At least they don't have enough information to know I don't have a letterbox.

> Related, there has been dozens of private data leaks in the last years in France

Yeah, more and more French people are getting annoyed at it, esp. when companies always say "no worries no payment info leaked". I don't care, I can change my credit card but I can't change my personal informations.

And literally last week it's Bloctel that leaked! It's the government managed list of phone numbers that don't want to receive telemearketing calls, where anyone can add its own number to be excluded. Great idea on paper, goldmine of a data leak.


> goldmine of a data leak.

It's a number out of not so big pool of numbers. Spam caller can iterate every number in the country in a month


It's worth quite a bit: the numbers on that list are live, with people smart enough to care, etc. Random numbers are worthless.


As if we don't already have enough advertisement channels in our lives.


It's an instruction in the sense that timing boundaries are x86 instruction boundaries, which is what the security model bases itself on. So yeah, not an instruction in the strict CPU sense (microcode + micro-ops), but in the useful sense.


You can probably skip the town in the ingredient list.


I know you’re joking, but unironically this might be untrue. One catalyst might be something only found in cities!

Granted, you could always replace the city with the catalyst of course :P


European utilities also bill by the kWh, the markets bill by the MW or MWh (depending on the market product), yet we’d still use TWh to write this number.

The American way of handling units is always surprising.


SSH bastions would like a word I guess. You can authenticate, but you definitely can’t login (which is also the case for git over SSH).


An SSH bastion host allows to request direct-tcpip channels, but is going to restrict other channel types, like pty requests, shell requests, exec requests or other subsystems.

The "login permission" term is confusing because it's likely supposed to mean "shell requests", but SSH channel requests in general are all post auth, which could also be considered a "login". In OpenSSH you still need to explicitly configure permitted channel requests, which I think is what GP is referring to.

For git specifically I would recommend the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH, all exec requests are then forwarded to this program, with $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND set to the original command. You may then use an allow-list of commands you want to permit.
