Also any prompt to “login” and “manage email settings” after clicking the unsub link

A cool feature for the fediverse could be some kind of aggregated view and a way for the community to link common topic threads.

There are Udemy courses on cobol, I’m sure any developer can get up to speed pretty fast.

Or just use an LLM, like the rest of us now

EarlyOOM is your friend. Tweak it to save the most important stuff and kill irrelevant stuff first when low on memory.

I think this was the version right before WYSIWIG support was added. So you could still use fonts, and change font sizes but on screen it would show a strange notation but not the actual font. Complex layouts were tough 😅

I suspect the optimized egg laying DNA is different from the huge breasted good tasting chicken meat DNA.

So the male born egg laying DNA chicks are unfortunately not useful to the farmers except for whatever they used the ground up remains for, which I suspect is probably feed or fertilizer.

There’s a program called Xevil that can solve even HCaptcha reliably, and it can solve these first gen captions by the thousands per second. It’s been solving Google’s v3 recaptchas for a long time already too.

People who write automation tools (unfortunately, usually seo spammers and web scrapers) have been using these apps for a long time.

Captchas haven’t been effective at protecting important websites for years, they just keep the script kiddies away who can’t afford the tools.

A lot of people talk about decision fatigue in their jobs. So it’s a gift of self care to buy 10 of the same shirt, eat the same lunch every day, etc

As a layman, my interpretation is that scientists have observed a mutation in some prehistoric cells / creatures that is likely positive. In this case an algae and a bacteria somehow combined in such a way that they have become something new and better.

As an optimistic guesser it seems like this probably happens fairly often and is either unlikely to survive or replicate for long. But, having observed something that we have known about is further evidence that we understand ongoing evolution and may have a better, more sound understanding of how life came to be.

I guess that’s probably interesting because it helps us better understand what the building blocks for life are, and as we discover them on other planets or in other places in outer space we may better be equipped to understand how or if life exists outside our own world.

My solution is a bit old school: A raspberry pi connected to my network and running miniDLNA. It has an externally powered USB hard drive. My TV runs Android and I have VLC installed. Any DLNA client works including Xbox and mobile phone apps too.

I don’t think mini DLNA is even updated anymore so eventually my solution might stop working but it’s been running solid for 10 years

I’m on my 3rd set of Xbox one controllers. The old Xbox 360 controllers would last for years before needing new electrical components. But these new ones are just junk. I tried to resolder one but the tolerance in there now so tight that I ended up frying it… So gave up on that idea.

Wow it’s amazing you’ve still got one going. Are you still letting users connect to the system? Over IP I’d imagine. Recently I went down the rabbit hole and found that MajorBBS is now available for free. I installed it in a virtual dos environment and got tcp/ip connections to it up and running. That system, at least in it’s heyday, was one of the few that could run multiple lines simultaneously in DOS and I always wanted to see the backend.

My BBS back in the day was running Wildcat! As well and then eventually moved to RoboBOARD which had the first mouse gui system. For the front end I used BinkleyTerm to get FIDOnet working. For a lot of the time it was up and running on OS/2 as well, so I could get multiple lines working.

Such great stuff that led me directly into an IT/entrepreneur career.

I’d have given my left nut to have desqview in the late 80s/early 90s. I was just a kid with a homegrown BBS but the concept was out-of-this-world cool.

Need to report these stats to my “friend” who won’t wrap up that never-ending pointless story despite me sending every polite non verbal cue that I’m done before I “welp, I’ve gotta go” my way outta there

Every time the article’s bits are replicated to another cloud server, and the old one is decommissioned, does it become a new article?

Yes. I want to put it into cloud storage that I control and can move around as required, so that I can’t run out of space. And so that I don’t need to manage a local physical drive.

The only thing holding me back with Immich has been the non-obvious back end storage options.

I’d like to keep my data in an S3 bucket, but from what I can tell it’s still unsupported because of some limitations with fuse.

Saw a chiropractor because I was starting to wake up with back pain every morning. Bought into something like a 3 month, twice per week program because the loss of sleep was really bad and he said he was pretty sure it would help.

After 3 months, I was still having a lot of difficulty. After an adjustment I’d be fine the next night but it would come right back.

So I decided to just go buy a high end new mattress. Boom. Every night after was a no-pain night. Never went back to the chiro.

See ya in 2030 when online is ready
