Is there a way to get a nicely bound hardcopy ? Doing a single one-off is expensive, I wonder if a hundred people got togehter, would a larger run be more cost effective ? Are there services for those larger runs ? Qwen3 recommends Blurb Lu

Of course you would stagger the offline backups. But if we are talking storing e.g. movies, the worst case scenario is really not so bad (unless you have the last extant copies of some early Dr Who episodes, then BBC would want to have a wo

I have such a NAS for 8 years, (and a smaller netgear one from maybe 16 years ago), and have yet such a disk fail. But you can get unlucky, buying a supposedly new but "refurbished" item via amazon or the seagate store (so I hear)

Has anyone compared Stalwart with say Mox or Maddy, in practice? They all look about the same from a newb's perspective.

Is there a lot of original content on X that isn’t linked anywhere else? If not, this tactic has not worked very well for other news outlets IIRC.

I generally try to avoid slamming down the gavel on someone who's dead and cannot defend themselves unless the evidence is overwhelming. But I see your point of view. I found the article overall not very helpful, especially for an arti

Maybe I should buy a few of those: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807100527325.html The github looks fabulous. I have currently very complicated transition lenses which seem to make 3d perceptions harder. :(

2 unconventional reasons: - hide the fact that you have the latest and greatest - use it to tuck in receipts or parking tickets between phone and case :) a downside with the iphone is that some buttons, esp the camera button, are harder to

This is tickling my memory of "why aren't there good consumer 3d cameras". I have a Fuji finepix 3d camera that makes awesome 3d pictures and even has a fairly crappy but working 3d display. Awesome even if the resolution is

Seems a strong take just based on the one article you are citing. What you say about grooming may well be true. I was curious and spent a few minutes searching the internets for actual evidence, and I found a LOT of opinion pieces, but not

And why would you trust such a statement?

Why don't you say clearly what you are seeming to imply? I read the article you quoted, and I'm not sure.

There's a _huge_ cottage industry of edu apps and programs that are both hugely expensive and not better at teaching, consuming a lot VC and end user $$$. As a first step, this seems not bad at all. I do agree that it would be better t

Unless it’s part of a link review farm. I haven’t looked, and you are probably correct; but I would do a bit of research before making any assumptions

Alas, Planets.nu has no source code available. That's OK if you just want to play, but I really always wanted to make some changes, and to self-host (like you kinda could in the original vga planets) The UI and server are relatively si

Also: originally, “dictator" was a magistrate appointed to hold sole power for a limited time during emergencies. This original, Roman sense of the word did not carry the negative connotations it has today.

Does China today qualify as dictatorship? I think that’s an interesting question with probably no simple correct answer.

Maybe the easiest way is explain it by volume of water coming at you. A 'normal' wave comes at you for maybe 2-5 seconds, then recedes. A tsunami wave might come at you for what, a few minutes? So moves more than 20x-50x the water
