Something hilarious. Maybe a notice that the image in question has been taken down by the internet police.

I don't have the logs anymore but I remember it being several thousand requests for the image files every month, but I assume it's fairly worthless traffic - interesting though. Lots of links to random forum posts, where the image

You can always do a direct ad deal if it's the right niche. Better privacy for your users and it's impossible to block.

I've registered entire defunct image hosts (back from the 2000s) - with thousands of existing old image links. Need to do something interesting with those when I get the time.

the lazy man's way to make something that will last thousands(or more) years: dry stone masonry. I've built a few walls, they're not going anywhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_stone

I'm on a pretty big monitor (~40 inches) for development, so I don't actually do any scaling for this display. I'm spoiled with a pretty good desktop rig, so I haven't had to do any optimization in a while.

I'm a recent i3 convert (been using it full time for the better part of a year now). It's one of those little changes that really brought me a lot of satisfaction. This is on my primary desktop (with a 4k display). I recommend it

I'm interested in this stuff, but their "quarterly reports" are just ~3 sentence summaries. Is this the extent of these reports? (maybe I'm missing something). It would be helpful to see a list of the actual incidents th

Interesting. This is a similar angle to a project I was working on last year, https://www.tamarin.us with honeypot credentials (I'm not working on it anymore - not trying to steal the thread). I had a hard time selling it t

Also, you can make a list of every job you've had in the past, and see if you can recall the inefficiencies you or others encountered.

That's an interesting thought. I was curious if anyone was working on something like this and I was able to find this: https://phys.org/news/2013-09-automated-comfort-free-range-h... Sounds like a good business to

Makes me think about the intro to Huxley's Doors of Perception[0] - genius is probably a pretty lonely place. Fortunately that's one problem I don't have to deal with. > From family to nation, every human group is a so

I changed 'must' to 'should' in the title because it made it sound like it was some sort of court order.

I thought it was weird that they found this material in the hotel room safe - seems like a bad place to hide keys.

Went to Cal Poly. I think the old logo is great. I think the writer here hit the nail on the head as to how I feel about the new one: > In fact, the only thing worse than paying $340,000 for a logo that looks like it was downloaded from

One guess is that capacitive would be problematic if the driver is wearing gloves.

That probably works if there's anything to transcribe, although the goal of the robocallers is probably to get transferred to a human being as soon as possible (i.e. pressing 0, or just doing nothing and waiting for the call to be tran

The name seems kind of odd for a google product. The anti-spam feature and voice analytics sound cool. I'm curious how they decide what's spam though - I know there's a few services that claim to do this, but since a lot of t

Same here. It also makes it harder to find you in gigantic password db dumps. It's an interesting consideration in naming a child.

I run a single 4k monitor, ~40" and I haven't felt a need for any additional monitors. I use i3 as my window manager, really like it with this setup.

This is always a fun read. I've been pondering creative ways to keep intruders off my land when I'm away for several months or more. I like the idea of using fake rattlesnake sounds near the structures - I'm thinking about ri

Also see the Hawthorne Effect[1] - I think we're actually experiencing this on a global level as we all accept that there's the possibility of being surveilled at any time via use of mobile devices. It's like the bit in 1984

I'm a carbonated water fan. I like to put a tiny bit of lemonade or juice in there (maybe ~30 calories worth) - feels like a legit snack.
