Aren't the vast majority of web pages nowadays signed? Almost nobody downloading and storing the content on websites will retain these signatures, but they exist and can be verifie…

mu.social is a "client". An "AppView" is the API server that most clients connect to that aggregates data from the network and serves it in a more useful way. mu.social still uses …

I think there's a quote from Linus himself saying this.

Wine works on windows too. It's used by the shorthorn project to get software for newer versions of windows to run under XP.

Reminds me of a thing Steve Mould mentioned in a video about a claim in a book "The temperature outside an aeroplane is six times colder than the temperature inside a freezer." htt…

Multi talented. He also wrote the fastest standards compliant json library.

Crimmas!

Did you forget to double space between the lines, or put leading spaces? Also, I had to turn off firefox's enhanced tracking protection for the font to load. Before that it was uni…

Can you still buy Olestra to use in your own cooking for that purpose? I have seen a video by Applied Science on youtube where he made some and fried chips in it.

So, a "Grocery Positioning System"? I wonder how much better this does than CCC's attempts at indoor navigation for their conferences. Those are usually pretty fun to read about.

I was going to shout out Tesco specifically, for a similar feature they have on their website/app in Ireland/UK. If you find a product's page, there's an "other items on this shelf…

Glad to hear something's being done with the data from the weather radar most commercial jets have. The thought occurred to me about halfway through reading the blogpost. I hope th…

ESA isn't part of the EU. The UK and Switzerland are members of it.

I appreciate that the site tells you when you create something that's never been discovered before. Especially when it happens with what you thought were pretty common combinations…

Youtube has multi-stream capability and I've seen one streamer use it years ago to let you pick which multiplayer user to spectate. I assume they used separate streams inside in th…

Are you using something like an ESP32 to run the thing? I ask because a lot of them have a surprising amount of random sensors tacked on, like accelerometers. (capacitive, and hall…

If anyone is in the situation that they need to put an untrustworthy app on their android device, the "work profile" feature can segment it off further. Insular is an app that lets…

ICANN expressly forbid google, and other companies from operating these gTLDs as "dotless" domains back when they approved them. Annoyingly, URLs like "maps.google" aren't set up t…

Is it really 3/4ths the language? (mostly culled libraries, or features?) I remember reading an old pdf published by the US air force about the subset of c++ features you're allowe…

I think they had a similar system before to replace all the audio in your video with something from the youtube audio library. The first thing in the list was a song called "009 So…

I try to refer to local time in an area I'm not in as -time rather than the timezone's canonical name to avoid this kind of confusion. Then use a world clock to tell when that is. …

> Every system can handle a leap-hour, they happen twice a year in many countries, courtesy of DST. Any DST aware system I've checked handles this as a timezone change rather than …

How many of these VPN services can be used without the app by configuring them in iOS settings? I know "private internet access" can be used that way.

I didn't know the display on the inside was only 16K, that seems pretty low for the size of the thing. Seems like the author got the best non-VIP seat he could too. I wonder how th…

I think all of the blogposts are just transcripts of videos from his youtube channel. You could use the feed from youtube to tell when there's a new release. Wait, I just checked t…
