But why does it need to be reversed? We are at the same time experiencing all the challenges and consequences of depleting the planet of resources, a warming climate and shortages everywhere. Why can less people in a natural way not be part

I imagine they might wait, to make sure it’s legally obtained Bitcoin.

“neowhimsical” would be a more accurate description. Definitely not “brutalist”, I’m unsure if the founders of this term ever saw anything brutalist.

It’s a limitation of their dataset. If you take all domains, it definitely creates a different picture. For both France and the UK, less than 15% of sites are behind a CDN. For both, around 95% use Cloudflare. So in terms of percentages, th

Interlinked. Within cells interlinked. I wonder how they test to see the agent is off baseline. ;)

Check out the Charybdis from BastardKB: https://bastardkb.com/product/charybdis-mini-prebuilt-preord... They also have self-assembly kits where you solder it together yourself. That’s what I did, the instructions were

I’d be happy for a content producer wide subscription that would disable ads on all participating sites. As long as that doesn’t exist, I’m happy with my adblocker. Next to that, my device, my choice what I get to see and what I don’t get t

There’s a long way between NW >100 million and making 60K EUR. Maybe if they taxed NW >100 million, you wouldn’t need a 50% tax on work.

Good advice about not enjoying a book and putting it down isn’t a failure on your part. Same for the part about reading multiple books. This blocked me for a while, if I decided to start a book I HAD to read that book and I HAD to finish it

This is just incorrect with a way too small set of websites. Their estimates are more than double. However, that is if you take all websites into account. If you only take the most popular websites/biggest companies, their estimates ar

According to the dutch public health institute, the longer the tick is in the body, the bigger the chance of transmission. Early removal also does not prevent lyme, it just reduces the chances. Next to that, in The Netherlands we have a sit

I’m not obese or overweight and while my main meals (breakfast and dinner) are generally very healthy - I can still eat a lot of trash (ultra processed)food as snacks. I’m sure that could have an effect.

Sounds like communication between departments sucks. If IT develops for them, you’d expect there to be a feedback loop?

I think a trust system is the only way. Ladybird will need new/different maintainers at some point in the future. How are you going to find them now? I don’t disagree with their choice, but it’s not sustainable in the long term.

I’ve used Vaultwarden for at lesst 7 years, I’m sure for longer but I’m not sure how long. Never had an issue with Vaultwarden itself. Restored from backups several times for a variety of reasons (migrating host, corrupt hard disk, re-insta

I think the same every time I read this, but at one point it has to give, right? Nothing is going well and economically the population is feeling it. I imagine this can’t go on much longer.

I don’t think it is. If we can then also ensure the US stops meddling in international affairs, we can all be happy!

I highly doubt the creators for the show are actually combining The Matrix and Blade Runner. It just seems the author is hallucinating nonsense. The Matrix took inspiration from Neuromancer and I guess Blade Runner is the closest we have to

I do gundog training. When I started with our first dog I did not expect to enjoy it that much. It’s hard to express how much it takes mentally and physically, and the bond you build with your dog is crazy. Best of all, you don’t actually h

Sounds fun! Do you have resources to get started? I do gundog work, it would be fun to do the tracking together with the dog. (I don’t hunt, it would just be to make some walks more interesting)

Really fun! I used to do it too, and I miss it. How do you combine it with work? Where I live in NL, there are few days where I’m able to go kiteboarding and I probably won’t know until the day off if it’s possible or not. Very hard to sche

Software updates exist, I’m sure they could support it if they wanted to. Ed25519 isn’t so new that the hardware wouldn’t be capable.

I mostly write Go code (and have barely had to write any code myself in the past months), but today I had to do some work in a Java project and Claude Code was a terrible experience. It really felt like using AI tooling of a year or two ago

They point in opposite directions because they’re not measuring the same things. Google is measuring where on the road most hard braking events happen. Insurers measure who is having the most hard braking events.

What do you want to do in a playbook that requires it to be tested? We keep our roles very simple and they will not do anything complicated. Ansible is for configuring a machine, that’s it. If we need to do anything more complicated, we’ll
