The ship was inanimate, and though it may appear otherwise, so are computers.

I always find that idea of uploading a mind so detached from reality. It's as irrational as thinking that physically reprogramming one twin's brain to be the same as the other's wo…

That you know how to use the language without such oddities presenting any difficulty does not make them less strange. That r-string parsing solution is fine for the interpreter, b…

It really doesn't help that after the acquisition of TNT couriers, some bright spark decided to call the Australian arm of FedEx "FedEx Express". That's right, "Federal Express Exp…

Would they still fail if it were a professional quality site, without the parody disclaimer at the bottom?

Profiles for separation is good for large differences like work and personal life, but I find the lack of shared history, bookmarks, and add-ons to be a pain. Running them simultan…

Yeah, I don't love it. Forcing phone numbers is the worst, as I've practically never needed to call or be called about a purchase, but it's a de facto ID.

Link is just payments processing done by Stripe. https://stripe.com/payments/link If you've bought anything online recently, especially if it's not obvious who's collecting the pay…

For me, this is almost an anti-feature. I still use it for a few sites, but the real killer feature of containers is that it becomes a breeze to use the same service with different…

Yeah, and I invariably add -r to xargs, so as not to execute the command unless results come through the pipeline. If one is working with whole lines of text, setting the delimiter…

As much as I don't like to, I do use Google things on phone, and I've really only ever used secondary profiles to use shady apps with far too broad permissions, such as the kind re…

Have you got a link to anything about hiding parallel accounts? I use GrapheneOS, and don't see anything in the UI about it. Am I looking for the wrong thing? From what I can see, …

Is there some reason you're being a patronising prick? Or do you really not know the definition of spilt horizon? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-horizon_DNS I could not have b…

Mate, what on Earth are you talking about? A private DNS server that can only be hit by clients on an internal network, which differs from public DNS, is split horizon.

Especially when it's caused by identical MAC addresses! https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/l9r17/now_we_know_why...

They are, but they still take time to build, and loans to finance. Here are two of SA's (which has the most renewable generation): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornsdale_Power_Res…

I wasn't talking about your opinion of it, I was simply using a rhetorical question to point out the nonsensical premise of your response: >Wait…what? You have a fully internal ser…

I thought it was quite effective. I read the whole thing in anticipation, and was still shocked by the graph.

It's one year, from left to right. The termination of the red line is in the middle because it's the middle of the year.

What, indeed. Yes, I have internal DNS servers. They are what handle the split horizons. How would one do split horizon without an internal DNS service?

I consider that an unnecessary leak of private topology, it's not info that needs to be public. IPv6 addresses are not really ever internal, and an exploitable vulnerability in a f…

Yeah, nah. Won't be doing that.

This scene from the prescient Wall•E springs to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xToQ4cIHkk&t=60

>Don't use split DNS So what's your solution when you have a wholly private service that will never have a public v4 address, nor a publicly routable v6? How do clients get the add…

It doesn't have to be about ruling, but self-determination is something a great many value quite highly, and think there should be more of. AI controlling all of humanity removes t…
