Navigating to this websites prompts me to install wordpress? Unfortunately my installation attempt was unsuccessful.

This is great! I'm wondering if there's anything on the roadmap for multiplayer support?

Hi all, I'm in a bit of a bind. I have a production system using Hasura, that suddenly has gone down. All requests to my hasura cloud instance are failing. I can't even hit the /he…

Try it and you tell me! ;) In answer to your question, it’s hard to explain. But no, I don’t find it possible to step back again and observe that meta process. I just tried. And it…

How?! Sometimes I feel a family is a path to more busy-brained activity. Less inclination to actually look what the mind is doing at a given moment. So I’m interested in that. But …

In regard to watching the mind, one thing I’ve observed is a little strange, and I was hoping to get other’s experiences. I like to watch the movement of my attention. Nothing abst…

Assume every politician and public representative is violently kept in line. If this were public knowledge, what would be the ideal outcome?

I have considered. But I only carry a small pocket book (about the size of a passport), and don't intend on carrying tech around. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Hi. I was just looking at the post regarding the Vesuvius Challenge - scanning old scrolls for readable text. I'm wondering if this is possible for notebooks. I often use pen and p…

At one time, my awkward encounters felt fundamental to me. Though I've come to observe awkwardness in the wild, without my being implicated at the centre (phewph). People just havi…

I use a UBPorts Pinephone as my daily driver. Sometimes I wonder about the security implications of that decision. I imagine there are WAY more vulnerabilities for a phone like min…

Even 20 years ago today, the world was very different in terms of technology. Obviously many of the same ideas were around, but the rate of improvement and invention still seems st…

This is a cool project. I bought both a HackRF and an Ettus USRP B210 years ago for playing with. I am yet to actually do anything of interest! Anyone want to share anything cool t…

I often see discussions here about the growing body of research regarding plant communication. Just witnessing a tree, or walking in a forest can give a sense of wonder at these li…

The comment was a bit snarky (and perhaps paranoid), which is unusual for me. Back to the tinfoil hats, do you believe communications on Signal can't be accessed by anyone except t…

It wouldn't surprise me. No reason why a phone number is needed to use the app, and if people think their messages aren't monitored when using it, they're dreaming. It's not truly …

Wasn't sure where to ask this, so here I am. Hasura recently upped their cloud prices big time, to the point where if I had to pay the current prices, I wouldn't be using the servi…

Mainly referring to increasing walled gardens, advertising, authoritarianism, and complexity of the web stack. Can we start from scratch? Simpler devices, open standards - a device…

Hi guys, I'm interested in learning more about trackpads, with a view to add one to an electronics project. Rather than buying a trackpad and hooking it up to an arduino to see if …

I often use the playlist radio feature, which is good. However, if I'm just listening to the playlist and I get to the end, it'll start playing the "recommended" songs in the list …

Many people seem to have an intuition that in democratic countries there are small groups of anonymous, powerful people who decide on the path forward (eg. deep state) Yes there is…

What's the commentary on prime numbers currently? Is it expected that there is some unfound pattern to them? Or will they always remain elusive?

A bit misleading I agree. I suppose since prime numbers DO make these spirals, it's not inaccurate.

Setting aside proclivities to particular fields, eg. interested in computers, so study computer science. I'm wondering which degrees develop well-balanced, clear thinking, and sati…

Just more generally, I was wondering if people might share their experience of Islam? I'm quite ignorant honestly. How did you come to find the religion? What impacts (positive and…
