Comment E-voting in Geneva (Score 4, Insightful) 65

The Canton of Geneva used to have e-voting for citizens abroad. I don't know how secure it was, but it was really convenient.

Voting is handled by the cantons, and I don't think all of the cantons offered electronic voting. This meant that citizens from Geneva who lived abroad could vote electronically but citizens of Ticino (for example) who lived abroad could not.

Geneva scrapped it a few years ago. I don't think anyone else has it anymore, outside of this pilot, but I could be wrong.

For those who don't know, Switzerland votes several times per year in nation-wide referendums, in addition to the normal elections for political offices. It's interesting to see the kinds of questions that are put to everyday citizens. The questions often come from everyday citizens and sometimes try to make radical changes to things.

The cantons send mail-in ballots to citizens abroad. Between the transit abroad and then back to Switzerland, I wonder how many overseas ballots actually make it back in time.

The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

Comment "Smaller than a hair" - no (Score 1) 15

If you read the article carefully, they are talking about lenses THINNER than a hair. I see several of the posts here thinking the width/radius of the lenses is this small, a reasonable mistake given the way this was written. Having a radius that small would severely reduce their light gathering ability, requiring very bright light or very dim images or very long exposure times.

Journal Journal: It is 2025 and Slashdot doesn't support IPv6?

I've been migrating all my stuff to IPv6 because I'm retarded and felt like (another) winter project.

So I have a Debian VM that is IPv6-only for testing things out, general browsing, etc. and see that Slashdot doesn't support IPv6? One would think a tech site would have been onboard with this years ago.
