    I tried it, it started a scan but stopped after hitting the rate-limit of my account. It gave up after just a minute of retrying (rate limits are tokens per minute, so... :P). It s…

    Compared to Lars, Jon was hands on, and connected with the staff and products. I think I can count on one hand the times I saw Lars eating in the canteen. The company changed a lot…

    I had the pleasure of working with the people from Fastmail while they where owned by Opera Software. I had a lot of respect for how they operated their systems back then, and I'm …

    At home, when accessing my gw, I always use "ssh foo@10.1" to access 10.0.0.1.

    Personally, I think it is because search is a important revenue stream for the browsers. It makes little sense to put too much effort in to a feature that will limit the usage of t…

    As a person "self-diagnosed" with aphantasia, I feel cheated knowing that other people have a built in cheat-sheet. No wonder why I was struggling with memorizing things like the m…

    That page was often used at Opera Software as a example and benchmark for weird and wonderful things "web designers" throw against rendering engines :D

    The Opera product you are thinking of is Opera Mini. Opera Mobile is a browser running mostly on your device (except for "turbo" which optimized media trough a proxy setup, but did…

    The truth is that most services will have a set of devops with access to personal information. And some times, we need to look at private data to solve issues like this. My first i…

    I saw the flash, and around three minutes later, heard the sound. It was impressive! If I'm right about the time between the light and the sound, it was around ~60km/37mi away, but…

    I'm not a chemist nor physicist nor biologist, but.. What do you mean with "inert"? I'm pretty sure most radioactive elements are quite happy to react with other chemicals, like sa…

    Trolling, the fishing method. For me, a internet troll is a person that says something provocation hoping that someone will "bite" and waste time arguing.
