Pingbacks are so helpful if you’re a blogger of any kind. I manage the blog for a family member who’s an author, and the huge a blog to share thoughts with the readers of their books. Pingbacks let’s them see where their blog posts are bein

That was one of my favorite features of Google as it let you see pages while the host server was down or if the content had been removed. Yet another actually-useful-for-users feature that got removed because profits.

While the place looks impressive, it also looks ridiculously excessive. The amount of wasted space, the running costs and maintenance required for all that space, etc etc… a hackerspace just doesn’t need that. They clearly got over-excited

I have private access to some pretty cool motorsports/boat-racing/etc stuff that a majority of people don't get to see (prototype/development vehicle testing, etc). I thought it might be fun for me to make some videos of

I've got WLED running on 10+ projects around the house, and have been using it for years. It's great. Super easy to install, lots of features, controllable via web app or API (and compatible with dozens of related services), and t

Volume knobs please! On my Bose bedroom speakers “2” is too soft and “3” is too loud, and on my monitor it’s similar (but at different numbers).

This game was such a huge part of my life. It was one of the only games I had for a long time, and I put more hours into it than I could count. I ended up making my own “modern” (winxp) version of it with p2p multiplayer to play with friend

Why though? 99.9% of people don’t care, and the internet (Facebook, instagram, TikTok, YouTube, gmail, the occasional Wikipedia) work fine for them. The overwhelming vast majority of people just don’t care about the internet outside those m

Absolutely HHGTTG for me. Not the "best" books I've ever ready but easily the ones I can re-read the most and still get a laugh or discover something new (or something I at least forgot and get to re-enjoy).

I'm constantly surprised by the number of local restaurants (including some who have been around for many many years) who have no website at all, and very little online presence at all. Sites like Google Maps, Uber, etc just auto-add t

Wow the performance on that is absolutely terrible. I'm on a gaming PC and it bogged me down so hard the tab started freezing up.

Yeah no idea what that part is about. The margins are absolutely in the alcohol, and the food is to get you to spend longer sitting there drinking with friends. Src: Ran a bar for 4 years.

I actually agree completely with this part of the post, and even came here to quote that part. I've gone completely off Uber since about a year ago due to their ridiculous price increases (per item fee + delivery fee + service fee), an

I’ve switched 100% to Robertson for woodworking and Hex for electronics/metal/3dprinting/etc. As far as I’m concerned Phillips are as outdated as flathead screws and ridiculous to consider in anything new. I generally even re

Thanks for the mention of Hoocho, hadn't heard of him and binging his videos right now as I've started building an aquaponics setup and a greenhouse to grow more of my own food. The ants thing is very random and very real too. My

It’s been intense here (SE Australia). It’s just been raining for weeks now without stopping. I think we’ve had 2 sunny days in the last 4 weeks? Crops are dying, lettuce costs $10 each (if you can find them), internet keeps dropping out co

Common in lots of jobs. I’ve seen people get fired from Gov IT and F500 IT teams where they only find out they’re fired when they rock up to work and their pass doesn’t let them in. Security has their stuff in a box to give to them along wi

Really really well done! I love builds like this and am collecting pieces for my own sleeper PC. I'm an unashamed nostalgia addict and would much prefer an older case in the room than the modern ones we get these days.

It's truly fucking horrible. It's supposed to be the "just works" wireless protocol, and it never actually just works. I bounce between an M1 Macbook Air, a Windows 10 PC, and a Pop_OS Thinkpad. What complex thing am I t

I used to run some pretty decently sized forums and did paid jobs customising forums for various niche hobbies. I’ve had more emails in the last 6 months asking me to help old forums get going again, than I’ve had in the last 5-6 years comb

Mostly St Kilda area, and around Prahran. It was way way worse in Sydney (inner suburbs) but still happened enough in Melbourne that it was a known thing among parents I knew there. Could be some stereotyping based on looks (I’m a big guy w

From comments by other dads I know, and online (some here when I’ve brought it up, and elsewhere) it does seem to be an Australia-plus-a-few-US-states thing. Mostly in places where people are comfortably middle class and/or live in maj

Thanks for the kind words. We’ve moved to a more rural city where it doesn’t happen nearly as much anymore (eg less people at the parks in general), and we have a larger property now so the kids play in the yard mostly.
