How is this different from the zillion other services out there which do this? The problem with all such services is that websites soon cotton on and blanket ban the domain names used. So unless your service has a way of generating an infin

Interesting article. I'd never heard of this concept before and thought "That sounds trivial" until I started to read the article. I must admit though, I gave up halfway through when the C code got too esoteric for me to fo

Exactly. As per my longer rantlet elsewhere in these comments. It's total bollox. My Canon printer won't print if it doesn't recognise an ink cartridge as being kosher. End of story. The only error message you can ignore and

This is such a shit clickbait article [in fact hardly even an article. A brief paragraph attached to a Canon press release]. "Canon tells customers how to bypass DRM" = "When your canon printer tells you the cartridge is empt

Great find. Thanks for posting. I love it when photos from this era occasionally emerge showing people acting naturally. We're so used to seeing the vast majority of Victorian photographs showing dour-faced people sitting or standing s

DDG's bangs are without doubt its standout feature. Unfortunately the search results themselves are pretty poor. So I'll stick with Startpage[0] Not that it's without its own problems, but at least the results are good. [0]

Ah. Manning. How I look forward to receiving their 2 or 3 spam emails on an almost daily basis because, several centuries ago, I must have filled in a form to download a free ebook.

I've recently gone back the other way. About 4 or 5 years ago, I made the same leap from Nginx to Caddy v1. Apart from times when I had to manually reboot my server, after some change or upgrade, Caddy ran flawlessly the entire time. A

Not only that. But many of the most popular NFTs are obviously batch created programmatically. It's not unusual to see collections containing many hundreds of variations on whatever piss-poor artwork they contain. So, even going back

On an individual developer note, I think it's the Linus Torvalds / Steve Jobs effect. Lesser known developers see their arrogance [and arguable genius] and how they are idolised and want to emulate that. On a corporate level, I du

At least with USB-C, I no longer have to try 3 times before I get the plug the right way round to fit in the device, as happened with Mini- and Micro-USB. Always puzzled me that, given there were only 2 possible orientations to choose from

I beg to differ. They were awful. The image quality was diabolical --especially on skintones which, let's face it is what most point & shoot cameras will be aimed at. The resolution was risible [324 x 240] and the ergonomics equall
