There is one form of harassment though, if you run even just a TOR Relay you tend to be put on realtime blackhole lists regularly which will cause random websites to refuse your connection. Things like banks, ticket sites, even your insura

I switched from T-Mobile to Google Voice a few years ago for this reason. With 5 lines on the plan the T-Mo version was way too expensive. But then Google Voice raised their prices and T-Mobile offered as much better multi-line discount a

I have some (somewhat older) OrangePis here that came with a board covering heatsink with an integrated fan because it turns out they really need it. The things get hot to the touch when working hard. I don't have any power measureme

Well, I wouldn't say I was missing them. I don't know why I would connect a fridge to the Internet at all. Maybe there is a use case where you can get a picture of the contents of your fridge on your phone when you are out and ab

In the past the articles were reasonably objective. The editorial section was always to the right of Attila the Hun.

When people talk about the “AI bubble popping” this is what they mean. It is clear that AI will remain useful, but the “singularity is nigh” hype is faltering and the company valuations based on perpetual exponential improvement are just n

It's hard to imagine getting work done on a shared Z80 machine with everybody sharing the same 64kB of memory. Z80s were already plenty slow and the working memory tight. Sharing that with other users sounds miserable.

Yeah, Wayland leaves this up to the compositors, and the compositors never bothered to implement it.

I wonder if you couldn't do something incredibly simple like get some pressure treated 4x4 posts and use a router to make shallow slots for the panels to sit in. Plant them the right width and run a 2x4 along the bottom to let the pan

As I understand it General gets you most everything and Extra is mostly useful for people who want to teach amateur radio classes.

let K = A(A(A))(A(A(A))(A)(A)(A)(A)(A); let S = A(A(A(A)(A(A)(A(A)))(A(A(A(A)((A(A)))))))(A)(A); Interestingly enough, the sounds escaping my mouth while looking at that match the argument list.

I suspect that is correct. There just isn't that much available energy to recover in most bike stops. The point about brake pad wear however is more relevant than you might expect. Bike brakes can be surprisingly expensive and on my

Solar panels are somewhat high tech, but wind turbines are 17th century technology. The electric motor you need to attach to turn it into a generator is also pretty low tech. You can even use lead acid batteries to even out the power deli

Faster, but not "much faster". Depending on where you were writing it could be as low as 300 bytes/second. You're starting to cut close to the margins, especially if the C=64 is having to also manage the modem communic

It would depend a lot on what the alien species was like. If they go "oh yeah Religion, that's a quirk of your biology, don't worry you will outgrow it in time" then yeah, that's problematic. If they go "Oh, yo

Electrification of transportation is already well underway. Obviously ships and planes will lag behind, and may even be forced to use biofuels if we run out of fossil fuels, but the idea that the world will stop when we run out is outdated

Maybe not, but there are clones of every single chip in a C64 available for sale now. Getting a perfect replacement is tricky because the originals were far from perfect, the sound you got out would vary between batches and many of the old

By the time you get to 2400bps you're starting to stress how fast the abysmal disk interface on the C64 could write data, you had better not hit too many seeks.

I don't think it is even so much about angering their parents as just having something they know that their parents don't. Skibidi Toilet is pretty old hat at this point. It is well off of the radar. Current trends include stuff

It's called recycling. As long as the "virgin" sources are super cheap its not worth it, but the market can change.

We used to have several companies in the US that mined and refined the materials. They shut down because they couldn't compete with China, but if supply became constrained over a long period of time they could restart operations. It&#
