The future portended here won’t be our leaving mountains of Solo cups and garbage bags, but rather untold generations worth of disrupted hormones, preventable deaths and disease, and ecological destruction on unprecedented scales. Plastic w

We’ll have long since melted them down for arms when the Final War comes between humanity and NeuraLink’s jar of formaldehyde preserving the distilled and partially sentient spite of a >400-year old Elon Musk.

Also worth noting the 50% tariff on Chinese semiconductors (and other tech components). So US companies can’t even get low-priced imports to make their products competitive. We’re stuck with high-priced domestic labor, who are not sufficien

I haven't really seen this point made elsewhere, but as I understand one of the more salient features of bittorrent is that peers are actively sharing the portions of a file they have downloaded. "Seeding" only refers to thos

I've used lcsc.com, and aside from their website being a little janky, it was fine. I would normally have used Digikey/Mouser, but I needed a few parts they didn't stock, but LCSC did. Then I found that a bunch of the other p

FrontPage was indeed terrible, it caused me to make an even worse decision in the 1990’s—-make websites almost entirely out of image maps, and then eventually that terrible idea evolved into the classic terrible approach to early ‘00’s web

This is a great idea to put together for fun and/or to show off some skills. The moment (very early on) it asks me to purchase access to it was when it became a cheap money grab, of the sort I’d pay never to see again.

I want to reply to your comment, however I notice your name includes the letters "m" and "x", which I find unaccountably suspicious. Please solve this increasingly annoying series of puzzles to prove to me you are not a

We also do it in the US, although I feel like it was more common 20-years ago than it is now. For example, here in North Carolina, local school systems are typically “ https://[county name]schools.k12.nc.us”

…and that’s all before you get into all the other logical fallacies that tend to compromise one’s perspective. Anything that requires anticipating and/or interpreting the behaviors of other people, or that involves accounting for risks

Shouldn't this kind of high-level access to federal systems come with a bar that's higher than this? Shouldn't even the appearance of impropriety be sufficient to bar this person from these kinds of positions where the larges

Even if there were legitimate grievances, the ends most certainly do not justify the means. "An embarrassment" would be my most charitable label for that debacle. If I'm being completely honest? I think it did real societal h

This is a wonderful trove of historical and contextual material. I had moved on to other interests by the time The Sims was released, but I remember thinking it had broken some interesting barriers in gaming. I just wanted to thank you for

I believe the big selling-point for Plex is that it can stream content to every single device you own no matter where you are, which requires on-the-fly transcoding. It's my understanding that the performance requirements for realtime

This is an interesting take, thanks for describing it. I think most people, myself included, would find your setup a little odd, but I completely understand why you're doing it. It would make many (most?) home media servers a little ho

Are there a lot of people complaining loudly about Jellyfin?

It's not really fair to blame Apple for those dev's poor product, nor for Jellyfin's choice not to support an iOS client of their own. Plex has a fantastic iOS app, the Plex Music app is one of the prettiest music players eve

You could use TailScale or Zerotier, join all your devices to a private subnet, then use UFW on the Jellyfin server to deny all connections except those from your private subnet. Then all your devices in your Tailscale/Zerotier account

It's a shitty move, I'll grant you, but it's also clearly a form of protest, and acts of protest are by-design intended to make the public uncomfortable in some way. As far as this kind of thing goes, I personally find it mil

I'm actually genuinely interested to know what you're referring to, because as an I.T. professional who's doing their best to keep up with how things work, that's more or less how I understood it as well. When words are

I was going to ding the clickbait title, but if this does what it says, I'm kind of impressed. Anyone have any experience using this, or is it actually a "secret"?
