Competitive (professional) gamers?

Seems there are diminishing returns, but at least some gains are measurable at 360.

Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection?

I've never completely understood this, but I think the answer would probably be "no," although I'm not sure. Usually when I leave the house I turn off wifi and just use mobile data (this is a habit from my pre-VPN days), although I guess I should probably just keep it on since using strange Wi-Fi with a VPN is ok (unless someone...

Same. Also feels a bit safer connecting to public wifi.

As much as I hate to admit it, the conversations that happen because I overheard another conversation a couple cubes over do have value.

Breakthrough promises secure and private quantum computing at home ( www.physics.ox.ac.uk )

The full power of next-generation quantum computing could soon be harnessed by millions of individuals and companies thanks to a breakthrough by scientists at Oxford’s Department of Physics guaranteeing security and privacy. The advance promises to unlock the transformative potential of cloud-based quantum computing and is...

Maybe not once quantum computers become more common.

Our current encryption methods can be represented as wave functions. This allows a sufficiently large quantum computer to solve for the keys in very little time.

There are new algorithms being developed that should defend against this. So you may still be correct.

The confusion is that CSV is also just a Notepad text file that uses Commas to Separate Values.

They are asking about what kind of values are in it.

Found this. I think it's pretty new.

Are there any immutable distros meant for NAS systems or home servers?

Edit2: OK Per feedback I am going to have a dedicated external NAS and a separate homeserver. The NAS will probably run TrueNAS. The homeserver will use an immutable os like fedora silverblue. I am doing a dedicated NAS because it can be good at doing one thing - serving files and making backups. Then my homeserver can be...

Would Truenas fit as immutable? I guess it doesn't stop you from changing things, but doing so might break the next update.

Configuration can be exported. Disaster resolution of fresh install and restore configuration has worked for me. No data loss and even the Virtual Machines started right back up.
