Plus it had those fantastic illustrations by Rowitha Quadflieg! (which is decidedly the most Harry Potter-esque name I've ever read in real life).

I'm thinking of Death in Terry Pratchett's Discworld , who speaks in sᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘs.

The original 1979 edition of The Neverending Story was printed in two inks (red and green) depending if the action was set in the real word or in Fantastica. I wonder if more books use this technique?

Another technique is variation of language (synonyms), orthotypography, variations in the white space of the document... so you can take a blurry B&W picture but they still got you because your version was the one saying "amazing&q

Follow-up question: are they notifying the scooped contacts that they now hold their personal data, as required by Art. 14 of the GDPR? https://gdpr-info.eu/art-14-gdpr/

I miss native OneDrive Linux support, but otherwise it is quite good. I can even avoid running office in WINE most of the time. And in Windows the experience is very nice, specially the on-demand file sync.

In this line, I recommend A Day in the Life of Ancient Rome by Alberto Angela. The book is exactly that: a description of a day, from sunrise to sundown, in 115 CE Rome.

Good idea! I tried the domain-fronting curl request and it works, so they seem to be indeed sniffing the SNI...

Completely correct, H2 either in fuel cells or burnt in turbines and battery-powered hybridization are two of the pillars of the EU's Clean Aviation R&D programme: https://clean-aviation.eu/files/Clean%20Aviati

Apologies if the usage is incorrect. They appear to indeed sniff the SNI and then inject a one-line website with a self-signed certificate: https://pastebin.com/RHwPWBug

They appear to do deep packet inspection looking at the SNI and insert an invalid certificate from Allot, redirecting the connection to a very short "Vodafone can't show you this" website: https://pastebin.com&#x2F

It would be specially interesting for aviation, since the energy density of batteries is still too low for commercial aircraft. Airbus is pushing for zero emissions H2-powered planes: https://www.airbus.com/innovation/z

Nice, it appears that my parent's ISP is doing DPI and a MiTM attack to block Sci-Hub (and I do have a subscription to Nature).

It's indeed weird, INES 0 events are rarely reported... even levels 1 and 2 rarely are. Just yesterday there was one INES 1 anomaly here in Spain and 2 in France... that said the reading was super interesting, I get why it is on HN.

I remember the first time I tried to plot a vector field in MATLAB. In Mathematica, the function it is of course VectorPlot[]. I spent quite a bit of time fumbling around until I found that some funny MathWorks developer had named the equiv

There used to be a 1€/month VPS at Aruba Cloud (big Italian provider) with 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM, 20GB Disk, 20 TB traffic, WMWare hypervisor... it was just fantastic, but sadly they finally increased it to 2.79€+VAT this summer and I left.

I am indeed self-hosting, but just a Raspberry Pi+HD. The Google/Amazon Photos is the backup/convenience. Since I want off-site backups in case something happens in my apartment, when/if Amazon goes this road I'll probab

I'm giving Amazon Photos a try, since they offer unlimited high quality storage with Prime. I will appreciate if someone shares their opinion about this service.
