> But that doesn’t explain games where as soon as you start it up for the first time, there’s a minimum of 20 minutes of (often unskippable) cutscenes before you can even control a…

Overall: love the idea. Any chance of updating the RSS feed item "summary" to something more useful than "significant news" and title to something more than the date? Or maybe an R…

Not easily: no cross-instance global search in Mastodon/Fediverse.

I hate that design: you can't lock a bike to it with a U-lock.

Sonic.net is using bind9, where this "qname-optimization" is a default setting for protecting user privacy. https://www.isc.org/blogs/qname-minimization-and-privacy/ https://bind9.…

I haven't seen "using Oracle Linux will result in me being sued". What I've seen is "Oracle is evil", "don't trust Oracle", and something like "my prior history around Oracle has l…

Worst case is might have to also manually replace a few "release" and "logos" packages (which is what's involved now for switching from RHEL to CentOS or OracleLinux)... More likel…

They still make and sell new ones. Niche market for them because they can print onto transfer paper (with or without putting ink onto the top paper).

Your client asks for 1 file, the server comes back with 2 files (the 2nd one what you actually asked for), but the name of the first (tiny) file's name contains escape sequences th…

As a somewhat picky consumer of hoppy beers, I really dislike beer cans in cardboard boxes for a simple reason: you can't see the canned-on date. It's not a problem with some of th…

I would call a purely ceramic cooking pot a casserole, but a cast iron (or enameled cast iron) version is a "dutch" oven. I have both in my collection, but the "dutch ovens" can be…

The article is talking about a specific "string" cheese packaged in individual serving sizes (frequently seen in children's lunches) and specifically references it being originally…

It's kinda hard to get to 1TB with a 20,000 item limit...

Then you'll run into the 20,000 item limit faster...

Have they fixed the other problems with this service? We did a pilot of Office 365 with an eye on using the OneDrive stuff (in addition to migrating to the cloud Exchange service) …

Yes. I learned recursion from drawing "trees" with it when I was about 12...

I prefer Homebrew over Macports, because the Homebrew default is to use the stuff your system already has. Macports always wants to pull in (newer versions) a bunch of stuff that's…

Really depends on the source of your lard. Good quality stuff doesn't smell bad. Should smell like bacon without the smoke or meat part of the smell.

You can get a decent aluminum hardtail 29er for under $1k from most bike companies.

If the area/door is busy, they just might. Or they might tailgate through a door. Tailgating through doors is a lot harder when everybody knows that the doors log everything.

Most uses of that kind of data are confidential and exactly the kind of thing you would expect campus police or IT to refuse to disclose any details about.

Titanium is probably safer, but a lot more expensive.

The salinity of the ocean isn't uniform and the ocean is connected to various bodies of fresh water. From a quick glance at the map of surface salinity[1] you can see that warmer w…
