It's ridiculous. Not being able to work (or having tools/certain websites fail randomly each time there's a high audience match) because "soccer" tells you a lot about the prioriti…

Nah, I skimmed TFA but then I went into the linked GH issues thread, and that's the one that scared me a bit. I just want to hold it for a while and not run into some of the things…

Ok. $ apt-cache policy rsync | grep Installed Installed: 3.4.1+ds1-7ubuntu0.2 $ sudo apt-mark hold rsync rsync set on hold.

Yes but you may need the IPs to warm up and build some reputation, depending where you setup your server the IPs may be burned. Check logs and reputation with some of the postmaste…

Been a while since I've used it, but I remember using a tool for this, gita [1], you could also just pass through commands to each repo. [1]: https://github.com/nosarthur/gita/

Just like sibling here, hard disagree. I don't like all toggles to be gone since dark mode quality varies a lot, and also I may want some sites or apps one way and some another way…

They updated it now

I didn't see anything in their status page [0] (yet). Not responding to pings either. EDIT: status page now reflects the outage. [0] https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

Pocket was very convenient to send random articles to my Kobo, which comes with a Pocket integration. Great for reading long blog posts and such, easier on the eyes. Will miss it.

Magic, thank you. Works, at least for now, until they mess up with the layout again. So much better...

Down, accessing from EU. Got the error page with a telescope, and also another, more elaborate one about a host without DNS or something.

Gilbert Strang's course on Linear Algebra. Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL49CF3715CB9EF31D Not as big in scope, though, but great introduction.

I love e-ink devices. Just back from a reading session in my Kobo, and I sent this article to it of course :) (through Firefox/Pocket). I can even read in the swimming pool (it's w…

Agreed about the statistic of failure rate. For consistent profitablity it's probably at or below 2%, even if it's higher in a given year. The reason is not only lack of a strategy…

TA is a very broad umbrella, and forms of TA work. Day traders exploit it day after day. It doesn't require sophisticated technology or deep pockets. I see many people that necessa…

You're wrong in your conclusion, even though the argument looks good. The opportunity is there for the average person to take, but it needs sufficient skill / training, like any ot…

Linear Algebra was a course in the first semester of freshman year when I was in uni (this wasn't in the US or in an english speaking country). It was famous for being a "filter" c…

https://github.com/curl/trurl Apparently, it requires curl 7.81 to compile, but I'm on ubuntu 20 (7.6x) and wanted to do a quick try, so this patch makes it work (trivially) by rem…

Don't you remember the US pressuring to stop NS2 earlier in the year? How can Germany NOT be a "hesitant" ally in energy matters if its enconomy depends mostly on cheap energy, bei…

One possible problem is if ad blocking technologies spread enough, they will stop working because it becomes a problem big enough for YT & others, or at least the adfree experience…

I believe I used this back in the day when preparing the LA course at uni, A First Course in Linear Algebra: http://linear.ups.edu/download.html . Also I'm sure it's been mentioned…

But...control of what? Instead of finding assembly lines of productive workers, they quickly discover that their product is produced by utterly unpredictable, uncooperative, disobe…
