    I am currently staying in an AirBnB of a 60 floor tower, and the three elevator shafts definitely cannot handle this (I don't think the building was designed with renting to touris…

    Fair enough, I did not know that. Maybe add to your list of reasons that attention is divided over so many conflicts nowadays. Probably there have been conflicts all the time, but …

    The biggest difference is "our" role in it. For western countries, the economic and diplomatic relations with e.g. Israel is a lot stronger than with Iran. It makes much more sense…

    The original tweet only speculated that it might work, but the article mentions and links to another about actual succesful attempts: "Tech News reported that the fake passport gen…

    What brand were you able to find with knobs? I went with induction as well in a recent kitchen renovation, but I was not able to find any with knobs, except for some professional r…

    Weather is local. This article is talking about the global average surface temperature.

    I've been in a hotel where the rooms had pin pads as locks that required you to press two random numbers every time you want to enter. The pad was a bit sensitive to fingerprints, …

    Yes, this! The non-alcoholic beers have gotten so much better over the last couple of years. I remember that they smelled quite pungent, but this is no longer the case. I mostly en…

    I hear people bring up this argument in the Netherlands as well, when talking about the safety of nuclear energy. It does not put me entirely at ease though; the Netherlands is a v…

    True, that is good advice. I have been surprised by terrible rainshowers and fog before while already driving though.

    I've had good results with offloading work to a cloud based server where I ran my docker containers during development. Just CLI though, I left the graphical part on the client sid…

    The decision about what sensor to use is more easily made when one of the sensors provides no data, or clearly disturbed data. Like in case of fog, mud on a camera, pouring rain, e…

    I doubt Bitcoin mining is really suitable to use energy in realtime either. I don't think it makes financial sense to only run your expensive mining equipment during flares. In res…

    Isn't every energy consumer incentivized to use the cheapest available energy source? In case of a landfill, there probably is a city nearby which would benefit from cheap electric…

    How does Bitcoin have literal incentives to build out renewable energy? I've heard the claim before, but I'm not following. Doesn't Bitcoin mining just incentivize generating energ…

    I've used a cheap hygrometer last winter, during which the air inside my home was always way too dry. I had to place humidifiers (with some success). The difference in humidity for…

    I was pleased to see recently that a couple of different brands at my local DIY store had interoperable batteries. I bought a small lawnmower which now uses the same battery as a c…

    The article you mention targets prolonged caching, which it defines as more than 30 minutes. Disabling might not have been necessary?

    Interesting. I tried both Firefox and Chrome on Android, neither worked without the desktop mode enabled. In that case my guess is that the screen size or the resolution of our mob…

    While I very much doubt if the entire process is going to be carbon negative, "straight up lie" is very strongly worded. In essence, by building wooden structures you can store CO2…

    The Netherlands is working on making doxxing illegal[0]. And rightly so, imho. Isn't the goal of doxxing harassing someone? How would that translate to citizen journalism? It is mo…
