   Reminds me of a time long ago on World of Warcraft I complained about something exactly twice (2 times), and there was a guy who got bent out of shape, launching a diatribe about that I was "complaining about it again and again and nev

   The IANA standard for TSV already disallows tabs inside fields, so you can skip writing any quoting logic (in principle). The MIME type is `text/tab-separated-values`. https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types&

   If you don't have a lot of images, you can go over them all manually and write the "please invert me" request directly into the filename. CSS: img[src^="/images/invertable"] { filter: hue-rot

   I've found web bookmarks don't even need to be sorted into folders. You can always search the bookmarks if you remember a fragment of the title, else just scroll back through them manually until you find it.

    The lowercase "s" is only 4 px tall. The "f" and "y" add 2 px above and below, so the total reserved height must be 8px. Then 2 more px for whitespace, so 10.

    Yes! The day I made my website serve a "posts.atom" file was the day I realized: The posts.atom file has all my actual content. What is the rest of my website for? Somehow I was tricked into writing it, but it's essentially

    I suspect they're growing again, much like Usenet, RSS and the blogosphere. Because, you know. I try to check https://www.britannica.com / https://www.encyclopedia.com for political hot topics.

    I suppose we could do that too, down the line, if we plant trees now. It's at least a method of buying time, but maybe not so reliable. It presumes no one will find a way to cut them down for profit later. So maybe we'd need to

    Admittedly, you plus your son get 4 combined years out of the device. It's an unexpected way to count, but it works. And since you were talking about buying new devices, I took it as a context where that's what the word "upgr

    Heh, it really sounds like your needs would be better served with IPSec or something. WireGuard was born precisely because they saw that the whole problem making other existing solutions difficult to audit and insecure-in-practice was their

    Claims they don't see the value in "upgrading". Upgrades every 2 years. You...think there are many people in 2024 with an even higher upgrade pace?

    I can also understand adopting the e-bike. It doesn't look at all like a slippery slope that will lead to an automobile lifestyle--at least for the rest of the world, it has the effect of making car sales less likely, not more. The e-b

    Even when you stop using iOS, you can still access the emails on the web interface. Should give you plenty of time to update the accounts you want.

    It's been stable like this for a long, long time. 5% emacs, 20% vim, the rest to the editors of the day.

    This trope is older than I am. And the standard answer is equally old: you wouldn't use the remote server's emacs, you would connect to the remote server from inside your own local emacs.
