Here on the east coast, you can just wait until May comes around and it rains a couple days in a row. Then, you can just go for a walk by your local river/creek and wade through th…

When I was in high school in the mid 2010s, Verizon's email-to-SMS gateway didn't verify SPF/DKIM/DMARC, and I had a field day showing my classmates the Viagra ads that Hillary Cli…

Timing and scalability are probably the biggest issues with realtime P2P applications. Scalability is becoming a bit less of an issue; with mid-splits becoming the norm on cable in…

I forget if it was $20 or $29.99, but in either event, it wasn't much. If you shop at Wally World regularly, you can sometimes find carrier burner phones for $10-$20, but finding t…

Many opioids, including opiates, used to be OTC. I personally know someone who used to smoke paregoric (camphorated tincture of opium), which was OTC in the US until 1970. I believ…

Some of us are already doing this. My main phone is a Google Pixel 8 running LineageOS 23.2 with F-Droid, microG, and Aurora Store installed. For things requiring Play Integrity, I…

Hopefully they exempt UDP traffic with a destination port of 53. Or suspiciously-large ICMP echo request and echo response packets.

Systems like Everseen make that approach significantly riskier than it used to be. A live video of you checking out is run through image classification software, so if you scan a s…

One of the AP (asset protection) guys at my local store always wore an eyepatch and a t-shirt reading "A bullet a day keeps the terrorists away". He did NOT look like a typical gro…

I think it was just clock drift on the camcorder during the initial recording, as I'm pretty sure I tried adjusting the frequency of the audio track to make it the same duration as…

Ffmpeg's dvvideo implantation is unfortunately just broken and mangles timecodes, even if just doing a stream copy from dvvideo to dvvideo without any re-encoding. Fortunately, dvg…

I used dvgrab to ingest my old tapes, and ffmpeg and avisynth/QTGMC to de-interface and encode files for easy viewing (though I keep the original .dv files). The biggest issue I ra…

I built a revolutionary AI-powered weather forecaster. Unlike other similar websites, WeatherZOID runs entirely client-side, thus massively improving scalability and reducing hosti…

I would recommend VyOS Stream for this situation. It has better performance and hardware compatibility than *BSD-based software routers, and it also has a nice CLI that is syntacti…

I was admittedly a bit hot-headed when I wrote the original comment, but the critical qualifier in all of this is that these driver assist technologies should be optional and easil…

I fully agree. Similar to killing bacteria with antibiotics, Attempting to idiot-proof machinery only leads to the creation of idiot-proofing-resistant idiots. We need to move back…

Is this new? It seems like this sort of thing has been going on for a while. A lot of the products are incorrectly labelled as containing amanita muscaria, but contain cannabinoids…

A lot of the older hybrids use NiMH batteries. With that being said, a replacement traction battery for a 2nd gen Prius isn't that expensive, at least compared to newer hybrids/EV …

Finding it's half the fun! Going out walking by a creek/river on a warm, rainy spring day is kind of an antidepressant in its own right. When you find a patch of Ovoids and pick a …

Calling the Prologue "Honda's EV" feels like a huge stretch. The Prologue was a rebadged GM vehicle that served strictly as a compliance car for meeting CAFE standards. Now that th…

MicroG does an excellent job at reimplementating most of Google's proprietary APIs on the client side. I don't know how feasible this is, but it would be cool if there were open-so…

The best solution for this is to buy a $30 burner phone at Walmart and use it unactivated, tethered to your main de-Googled device. You can use the burner for only tasks requiring …

It's pretty cool to see a licensed, authorized LPFM station being set up by hobbyists! Prior to the PIRATE act of 2020, running a pirate FM station was effectively legal until the …

It would be nice if IA could create a browser extension or TLS-intercepting proxy that end users can run over their own computers and connections, allowing crowd-sourced scraping. …
