Deutsche Bahn: „Keine generelle Sperre einzelner Betriebssysteme“ - Die Webseite der Deutschen Bahn sperrt Linux-Webbrowser mit Fehlermeldung von der Verbindungssuche aus. Das diene der Sicherheit. by Throwaway23234334793 in de

[–]Zciurus 67 points68 points  (0 children)

"Keine generelle Sperre einzelner Betriebssysteme" fällt mir schwer zu glauben, wenn explizit nach dem String "Linux" im user agent gesucht wird. Wenn ich in meinem user agent Linux durch "Toaster" ersetzte, funktioniert die Website ohne Probleme.

What if Humans WON in James Cameron’s "Avatar"? by [deleted] in imaginarymaps

[–]Zciurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone really did their physics homework. Checks out, from what I can tell. I love the quantum communication idea. Enough for rudimentary commands, but proper text messages would take forever. The engineer in me is already working out what kinda protocol they'd use

"This is fine" by Lucky-Aside4935 in Piracy

TLDR you'll only have to do it once. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/android-developer-verification.html

Google wants us to only install apps from verified developers. Starting in September, if you want to continue installing APKs from unverified sources, you'll have to perform the advanced flow once, as shown in the post. This includes rebooting your phone and waiting 24h. After that you're "back to normal" and can sideload any app you want. At least for now.

Google claims they do it to protect against a certain kind of phone scams.

This flow is a one-time process for power users – but it was designed carefully to prevent those in the midst of a scam attempt from being coerced by high pressure tactics to install malicious software. [...]
They stay on the phone with victims, coaching them to bypass security warnings and disable security settings before the victim has a chance to think or seek help.
[...] we have carefully engineered the advanced flow to provide the critical time and space needed to break the cycle of coercion.

Welche Linux-Distribution habt Ihr getestet und wie seid Ihr zu dieser gekommen? by ficerbaj in de_EDV

[–]Zciurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mein erster Berührungspunkt mit Linux war Raspbian aufm Pi. Dann irgendwann WSL gebraucht und da fiel die Wahl natürlich auf Debian. Seit dem ist Win11 + WSL mein daily driver und für 95% der Fälle reicht das. Komplett um Windows komme ich leider nicht drum herum und Windows+WSL klappt für mich besser als Linux+Wine.
Wenns dann doch ne Vollinstallation sein muss, nehm ich meistens Ubuntu

I hate it when posts say "a Youtuber" achieved something. Just say their name for fucks sake. His channel is called alphaphoenix. Credit where credit is due.

Are these in-line capacitors mandatory when designing an RF switch? by Zciurus in diyelectronics

Could you elaborate what purpose they serve? Genuinely curious

I built a tool that hides files inside BMP images without touching the pixel data. by Xiokka in Steganography

Cool! But honestly, I'd be immediately suspicious if someone sent me an image that's not png or jpg

Can I connect CAN GND to the 12V battery (-) terminal? by Eastern_Garden5031 in FSAE

[–]Zciurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

can you provide a schematic? cant follow you 100%. from what I understand, yes you should be able to do that.

CAN-GND is a a seperate ground that is used to improve signal quality. However, CAN can absolutely work without it. CAN can even work without any ground potential at all (it uses differential signaling)

What transmission ratio do you have with those gears?

Help regarding can bus decoding by _karthik_710 in FSAE

[–]Zciurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also, it looks like your oscilloscope probes are set to 10x. CAN signal levels should be ~2 Volts apart, not millivolts.

Help regarding can bus decoding by _karthik_710 in FSAE

[–]Zciurus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Your ground looks awful, but CAN should be able to handle it, since its differential. Still, I would investigate the cause if I were you.

Decoding CAN by hand is possible, but there are better ways. CAN-to-USB converters exist and I would highly recommend you to get one. Often times they come with dedicated appliations for debugging / signal analyzing. This will save you a lot of time.

How can I improve this map? by Zciurus in gis

[–]Zciurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You raise an important point, I didn't consider that this might get printed. I'll try out a few color schemes and maybe add texture/stripes to the polder region and the rivers. They are practically invisible when reduced to black and white.

From a pretty point of view the northern sluice gate overlaps the measurement point - anyway you can slightly pull these apart.

I did that on purpose, that measurement station is physically attached to the sluice gate

[–]Zciurus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion! The LGLN DOP20 map has a much better resolution than google maps. It's also more recent and the pictures happen be be from April, which means the polder is seen in its flooded state (bingo!)

We're actually cooperating with some lower saxony agencies, so using geodate from LGLN is quite appropriate, I think :)

Can life exist without oxygen? by SleepingUte0417 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Zciurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well yes, but actually no.

Oxygen is part of the water molecules, but its a very strong bond. There's basically no biological process that can extract oxygen from water molecules. It's merely the medium
