Ok are you riding with two huge boxes containing all your work on an electric unicycle and I guess the hi-vis top means you're headed into traffic and the box-cords seem to be bala…

As soon as the thumbs-up started rotating and the severed wrist was revealed, it became apparent: I had never wondered where the rest of the thumbs-up person was before. But more c…

Oh! And if one felt like solving the puzzle, it might lead to that person being mis-identified as being a bot. Which would be a perverse incentive to avoid wrecking the trap.

I'm suggesting that one should not be able to obviously detect that they're being challenged. Eg I could respond in Pig Latin to you right now because I can see that's what you're …

This whole thing was more of a shower-thought. But the trap I left behind was a link hidden in a full-stop in a deliberately acquiescent comment. The link went to an imgur image. T…

We're all experiencing it. Are you replying to AI right now? So I was thinking. The LLMs solve problems. Compulsively. I'm wondering about leaving problems behind in comments that …

A local neighbourhood cake-stall marketplace. Got a great recipe and some time to bake? Put a picture of your sweet treat up, and get strangers knocking on your front door. You get…

Did you take a look at one of the chat-based queuing platforms, something like https://dibsonstuff.com people seem to use it for taking turns with servers, but it sounds a bit like…

Source?

Australia as well.

There are probably parallels with rap artists. There are those that improvise and flow. (the rest of us edit and re-edit)

Jotted down my backup process for home. Spoiler: it's a bunch of SSDs sitting on top of a Raspberry Pi. But there's a few fun things in there too: raid, encryption, cron, make, rsy…

Just on your first suggestion, this also means that if a person or process can drop a file (unknown to you) into your ~/bin/ then they can wreak havoc. Eg they can override `sudo` …

Fwiw termux + rsync for android phone backup (eg rsync /storage/emulated/0/) will grab most things.

I used to self-host email, it was mostly all initial setup and then it just worked for years. Eventually I got a bit wary about the security side of an internet-accessible box and …

Good question. So one change I made last year was to cap the number of queues the free account could utilize. It's sort of hard to know for certain if that was what moved the needl…
