I would suggest gl.inet Comet Q. It only uses a single USB-C cable to do everything (wifi only of course, and it does need a USB-C port that can transfer DisplayPort in alternative mode). It also has tailscale. (Not affiliated in any way, I

I got that, it works very well. Of course putting it on 3 NAS systems (which I can even SSH into) was definitely overkill. But as Schlock Mercenary's Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries says, «There is no "overkill.&

I'm basing my comment on the article. Since they are susceptible to ASCII smuggling, they can't have been doing unicode normalization. The task isn't that massive. Python's unicodedata (for example) contains all the info

Why not sanitize and denormalize (or whatever it's called) the text before feeding it to the spam filter? Or the LLM prompt?

You're right, I guess American English is too common and I didn't consider that British English pronounce it differently (and one step closer to modern Greek) Attic/Athenian Greek were considered a bit weird by other Greeks a

Technically, the υ in both αυ and ευ diphthongs were approximations of the w (waw) sound. Which is a sound between oo and w. The sound still exists in isolated dialects, e.g. Tsakonic dialect which is a descendant of Doric dialect. Obviousl

I'm talking about the vowel sound, not the consonant sound. Of course φ was more like an aspirated π, that's why the letter φ is transliterated as ph (p with an aspiration mark which is the h). χ was also originally transliterated

ομφαλός (belly button) is quite weird for ο (omikron), but I can't think of something better! Just listing the letters below and my rating for each letter, maybe someone has a better idea for some of them: α - αχλάδι (pear) 5/5 β

What you call "classical pronunciation" is really at best an approximation of the ancient Greek pronunciation, but mixed heavily with English (after some frolicking around in Latin). As far as I know, this is limited to English sp

All language is "coined terms". The point is that if you dilute the definition of a term, you make the term useless. Evolution of a term isn't done automatically. Correcting terms such as these pushed the evolution in a more

You can still pay Microsoft a one-time-fee instead of a yearly one. You can even go to a physical store and get a physical box with Office (granted, it doesn't contain anything inside it anymore )

The difference is that IRL establishments don't sell off that data to anyone else, nor do they have the ability to collate that data with data from other establishments to make a profile of you. (at least not yet)
