Some people are kept in solitary for their own protection. People who hurt children tend not to make it long in prison. I went to high school with a kid who murdered both of his parents, and he was put in solitary mostly for his protection.

I'm wondering this too. The article claims some of the connection are proxied. However if it's a big site that uses a set range if incoming IPs, I feel like blocking could still happen at the TCP level (and maybe catch a bunch of

I always used bob@bob.bob. It's not a real TLD (although at the rate of new TLDs, it might be soon) but it still validated on most websites.

Both this article and the original post talk about the different "strains" of CoV2. I thought there were no real strains; and that the L/S strain reports from earlier weren't correct?

I use to live in NZ. At times I wish I had stayed because at least they've been out of this, but it's also an isolated island with ~4 million people. Even though they've mostly had elimination (with one re-lockdown due to Auc

I replaced my haproxy setup with Traefik and it works pretty wonderfully. The LetsEncrypt integration works really well. I don't really have any interest in plugins personally, but this is still quite an amazing project.

The first year of Chrome's release, I absolutely hated it, not because of the browser itself, but because it felt like a shot to the gut of Firefox and open source development in general.

Did Eich make any statements at all? I recall he was cancelled out because someone found a donation of his to a political cause. He literally just gave money to a cause. Imagine if who you supported on Patreon or Ko-fi caused you to be hara

Well what about the decade of work prior to being CEO? I mean, the guy did create Javascript. For better or worse, it is one of the most popular programming languages in use today.

Horizon 3 was a lot of fun, but 4 just got repetitive and boring. It felt like the same game with really dumb gimmicks like being able to buy houses.

The emancipation proclamation was absolutely an executive order. It was issued on September 22, 1862. The 13th amendment didn't get passed federally and ratified by the states until 1865. I agree the way it SHOULD work is that congress

With chat programs, the concern is over monitoring. The US can issue warrants to get your chat records from Messenger/Hangouts. Those warrants are obtained a bit too easily due to FISA/Security Letters, but that's another due
