What I see on github more and more now. This one from today was from trying to see the full list of contributors to a medium size project. It's been spinning for several minutes...…

sigh Mom and Dad are fighting... But seriously, this illustrates to me that Codes of Conduct are mostly suspect. This is obviously a private feud (nobody looks to be in the right h…

SHHHHHH!!!! Don't tell people that or pretty soon we won't be able to find them any more! ;) Seriously though, seconded, but also install Rockbox: https://www.rockbox.org/

Hello, I'm setting up a service that uses text messages for something like 2FA: it sends a text message containing a code back to a person. However I apparently have to go through …

Not sure if this is the best, but I use nftables and this article helped me setup port knocking on a debian server: https://home.regit.org/2017/07/nftables-port-knocking/ Then I ad…

Very Black Mirror indeed: "View Obstructed - Resume Viewing". From the episode Fifteen Million Merits.

For some reason I find this kind of sad. This kid seems like a Dunning Kruger effect poster boy. I mean, when I was younger I would have been gleeful about some bragging idiot gett…

Wait, these companies seem so inept that there's gotta be a way to do this without them noticing for a while: - detect bot IPs, serve them special pages - special pages require jav…

Find a Sansa Clip, Clip+ or similar on ebay and install rockbox on it. Once setup you can just plug it into your computer and drag & drop mp3s like any other USB thumb drive. They'…

For me it was "JavaScript must be enabled in order to use Notion" (I'm a NoScript user). But it had already redirected me to another domain to show this page. How am I supposed to …

For some reason, when I read this I heard it in the voice of GlaDOS. "All your other friends couldn't come either because you don't have any other friends. Because of how unlikable…

Original poster here. I heard back from OVH that this was their automatic fraud detection system kicking in, and after manual review they removed this requirement. Apparently I mad…

I wanted to try out OVHcloud and signed up and paid for a small, cheap VPS. Then I get this email: Please provide full-color photos of the following using the OVHcloudShare app (se…

Thanks for the advice, I will try that.

My dehumidifier isn't on the list but I believe maybe it should be. Several times now it gets into a state where it's very loud, abnormally hot and it turns out the compressor is s…

I feel compelled to mention here the 1987 film "The Man Who Planted Trees", which is essentially a 30 minute minute long animated painting with a story. Blew my mind when I first s…

Another great way to experience a variety of C64 SIDs is to listen to the Immortal C64 podcast. It's been going on for years with over a hundred episodes so far. http://www.akumade…

The wide range of answers to this has been really helpful. What I'm getting out of it is this: If you're a linked-in refuser (like I've been so far) then it limits you somewhat, fi…

I'm seeing a lot of "submit your application" web forms with a required linked-in field. Would it be absolute folly to attempt to get hired without using linked-in? What are your e…

Just realized that there's almost no mention in the comments so far about the similarity to hypnosis: access to previously inaccessible memories, hallucinations, high suggestibilit…

> increased the throughput from 400 bytes/s to 7.5 kB/s Since then someone has come up with yet another custom disk loader that's more than twice as fast as that one! https://csdb.…

Yes but it looks like this wasn't possible. C64 multicolor sprites have 4 colors and it looks like one frame of the dragon is already using 4 colors. Also, having two separate dith…
