Strongly seconded. Great radio, independent, opinionated, kind, reasonable, 100% listener supported. My main go-to for music in the last couple of years (since I discovered it)

heh, beat you by three days, ID 65973, 2009-03-23 :)

How were you able to diagnose it yourself? Just through the error codes, or is there another interface available for non-technicians?

> Cambodia's specifically 30-50% of the economy can be directly attributed to scamming plus casinos Are you saying that 30-50% of Cambodia's economy can be directly attributed to s…

I had similar feeling over the past few years, trying futilely to escape the algorithm.. I recently discovered radiop aradise[1] which is exactly what I needed - free, old style, v…

By quoting the word "Decent" you mean it is actually excellent, or is it actually poor?

That's not a useless project! It's a silly piece of code, but it gave joy to people, so I would say much more useful than most stories in this thread. Back in the nineties my dad h…

You've basically summarized David Graeber's book - Bullshit Jobs[1]. Highly recommended. [1] https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Bullshit-Jobs/David-G...

Hey, thanks for making this! And thanks for posting here. I was wondering if you are willing to share some of the innerworkings of this. You mention in the FAQ that it works for al…

Oh, it's a huge effort! These bodies meet and discuss what the proper spelling of words should be, or they make up new words, and then they publish those guidelines for journalists…

There is no such thing as "English pronunciation". English does not have a regulatory body like Spanish or German have. There are many English dialects, and sounds (and meanings) v…

I still am unable to get resume from deep sleep to be less than 12-15 seconds. I dug the forums, contacted support, did all the things, but nothing works. If I go to s2idle it is i…

Same here, been hosting for over a decade now. You do need to be on top of all the latest technologies, and still some problems will arise once in a while. But all in all, it's a p…

Have you been using ssh at all? How's that experience? That's my main use case. How about video/audio calls? does Wi-Fi calling work well?

"Golden Apple" is still the word used today in modern Hebrew for orange, albeit in abbreviated form. I've always wondered where it came from.

I had a legit call a few months ago from the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency). He was nice enough and sounded calm, and I explained that with all due respect, since he called, I have no…

Tartine by Chad Robertson was THE book for me. It took me from so-so sourdough bread, to amazing and consistent one that constantly gets praise and is a pleasure every time.

It's sourdough bread. It's way more filling then your average supermarket-bought white.

That sounds way too short. Until a few years ago you needed to be a resident (=reside) three years before you can apply (which takes about another year). I think now it's four + ap…

The facebook extension by mozilla solves this: https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/facebook-container-extensio...

I don't remember this from the "Destroyer of worlds", but hey, 6 hours, it might have been there somewhere and I just missed it. BTW - it's not the recent one anymore, there's a ne…

I agree, musicbrainz is absolutely awesome. I use it daily for a couple of year now (to clean up the tags in my collection - quodlibet integrates nicely with musicbrainz for that) …
