I can't install anything on my work computer (for obvious reasons) but outbound ssh is not blocked. NetHack through SSH it is for me.

They mean "fraction" as in "part", the same way that an arm is a fraction of a whole body. But it's more about the words we use in everyday language than about mathematical definitions. Also, I think I remember that

Don't get so hung up and sarcastic. They were stating a fact that some people may not know yet need to be informed of when using these services (for various and personal reasons, not all linked to feeling guilty). As they said, they&#x

This kind of thing amazes me. Radio is such a simple, yet omnipresent, technology that even something not made to listen to radio can accidentally catch and play the signal like an actual radio player would. I sure hope it's never goin

My gaming laptop is something like 11 years old and still runs the games I'm interested in with really acceptable graphics. I have installed Pop!OS on it and the combo Steam+Proton is great. I've kept my Windows 10 partition to ru

Are pat/matronymic surnames still used in the Feroe Isles? As I specifically know at least one dóttir , namely Eivør Pálsdóttir (which I love listening to, especially when she sings in Faroese).

Thing is I didn't even read anything promoting either monotheism or polytheism, or anything of the kind. Yes, Catholics are in awe looking at that face they love, good for them, but paleontologists could just be in awe of the facial re

I don't even understand how having a business magnate and CEO of multiple USA companies can get a job in their government without being obligated to resign from their CEO mandates and without it just being plainly illegal. At least whe

Reminds me when in school I had to do a presentation about ways to defend against malware. I showed a few software examples (among other things) and ended with "the most powerful anti-malware ever, compatible with every other anti-malw

According to Wikipedia, it was a server-side language, that NetScape adapted to client-side and renamed JavaScript a few days before go-live, to piggyback on Java's name and please Sun Microsystem shareholders. Then people created node

https://relay.firefox.com/ may be a tool for that. I never used it, as I use a catch-all, but may use it in the future.

Retro games are either played through emulators (ScummVM, DOSBox, etc.) or bought secondhand on physical media. Indeed both are offline and replayable forever and ever (granted that you back up the physical media you acquired accordingly).

I don't mind a "viral" title for a good article (not those kind of "You won't believe what this woman did to..." or other clearly clickbait titles), but of course, you don't know before clicking if it'

Being viral, for content, is not always bad: it can make an otherwise boring or tedious subject engaging and enjoyable (and on the other side, a fun subject might appear boring if badly written), which I think is what this article is about

For me it works in Firefox, on mobile that is (didn't try it on desktop). But it worked once. It guessed "spiderme" in ~22000 tries, but ran for longer than my patience allowed (and I'm very patient) on "hderhfsd&qu

So, if I get it right... You didn't meet that woman for years. You meet her, subtly ask if she's alone, then propose? That was bold of you, but even bolder from her to accept.

I love the differences between those three movies (The Free Movie, Shrek Retold and Star Wars Uncut). Star Wars really looks like a work of love. Shrek looks like a work of love that tries it's best to not take itself seriously. Free M
