Checking the prices of the components of my build from 2020 is rather frightening. CPU and motherboard should be fine, but the rest of the main components not so much. Quick compar…

Half the internet will be gated in the next two years. If you thought mfa for every silly little site was utterly annoying and social media was an invasion of your privacy then thi…

You may be overthinking this. It is privacy that means little to the regular joe. The internet they use every day and it being changed beyond recognition is much more tangible than…

> 2FA on every trivial site But it helps against account sharing, err I mean they make database leaks irrelevant except for private info of the customer, err I mean that we can now…

Also was curious, it is Maria Callas. Opera singer. The angry one is Ludwig van Beethoven. I guess of the designs with people I only like designs E and F. There the expressions don…

That's pretty terrible. I guess only design H looks like it could be real money. And what are the options they give? I guess historical people with weird abstract community setting…

Most people are in favor of solving world hunger, poverty, the wars and climate change. Until you hand them the bill. Likewise most people will not agree with age verification when…

For replaygain purposes simply ignore the spec and use RG 2.0 tags? That works with Opus too and hardly any players support Opus R128 gain anyway. For very low spec devices Vorbis …

> Falser words hath never been spoken. Why? Care to explain? I have fully switched to opus for lossy since I cannot be bothered to find the sweet spot for aac encoders and bitrate.…

Choosing a lossy audio codec has become such a no brainer. Either use opus and be done with it or if for some reason opus cannot be used then use aac for compatibility with insane …

This was not a path mtu problem since it was random IPv6 endpoints having issues. And if all the IPv6 endpoints of a major service go down we should pin our mtu to the bare minimum…

It is not widespread. Not for the major services at least. But saying IPv6 is better than IPv4 with lower latency due to better routing and lower overhead simply is not true. Appar…

There were indeed consistent failures to specific IPv6 endpoints, clearly identifiable through curl, while all the IPv4 endpoints were ok. This happened with pypi (IPv6 BGP routing…

In my experience not true in practice cause I have experienced way more issues with the IPv6 endpoints of sites than their IPv4 counterparts. This becomes noticeable when pipelines…
