How I do it: My local IRL friends are some folks I met during my days as a BBS sysop ~35 years ago. My far away IRL friends are folks online where we felt motivated to treat eachother as friends instead of dangerous randos. (Risky? Per

I use the Internet about how I used to 30 years ago. I chat with friends. Sometimes, I make a new friend or lose track of one. On rare occasion we get together to do whatever it is that we have a common interest in. That used to be IRC.

Impressive. Really. I'll bet you a beer that if we had examples of each in a room and spent the time to iterate upon setting them up in the most-optimal of ways that can be concocted, and then went through all of the motions of doing

I'm not dumb. I care a great deal and I always have. I've just never been good at programming. When I recently found a small bug in how NTP is implemented in Home Assistant OS that was affecting my use of it, I thought about jus

It's possible to run all of the audio output on a Linux box through a VST, if you want that. For example: https://www.benashby.com/resources/pipewire-vst-carla/ Additional latency can also be dealt in ways t

No speakers have flat frequency response. If that's the target (it usually isn't[1] even with very elaborate systems that include a great deal of DSP grunt, in my experience), then they all miss -- every single one of them misses

Maybe nothing here is patentable. We don't know yet. All we know is that they've applied for a patent. If the patent they seek is granted, then it will be published and there will be no mystery about what it covers. :)

Where in the world are these road owners, and do they really eve provide this kind of information to mapping companies? Here in the States, most of the roads are "owned" by the people and our various thousands of governmental juri

If it takes as long as 48 hours for it to become plain that I'm sick from eating something, then I've probably eaten 6 meals in that timeframe. If those meals average just 2 ingredient+source combinations that are introduced durin

I agree. Having looked into it, it's not clear at all how to do better at home than hosing it down with some plain water and spinning it dry-ish. Soap ruins leafy vegetables. Dilute bleach seems strongly frowned upon. Vinegar doesn&#

Cliff, I haven't quite given up on this, but I am running out of leads. I'm dropping this here mostly to benefit others by leaving some information all in one place. It seems that it was first episode of the first season [S01E01]

Do you know what was it called, and when/where it aired? It is possible that some here have different methods for finding things.

Small cash-only businesses sometimes have other motivations to stay that way, like: The books can say whatever the owner wants them to say.

The book is brilliant. Also worth mentioning is the rather dramatic PBS Nova episode from 1990, The KGB, the Computer, and Me -- starring, of course, Cliff Stoll. It's an entertaining take of the same topic. I couldn't find a w

In my travels, the delta is often much greater than ~15 cents. Today is an unusually-consistent day in this market area. I'd love say that keeping an eye on gas prices and trying to time the market to buy on the right day are things t

Watching prices makes sense. People spend money on gas, and sometimes one Costco has cheaper gas than another does. The two Costcos that are nearest to me are listed at $3.65 and $3.79 right now. They're ~25 minutes apart. I think it

They really stuffed it up pretty good. They had it all: Lines of dependable PC hardware, an excellent operating system that was much more advanced than what people were used to, and they were even selling a cost-competitive CPU (the 6x86)

Or maybe the PC was in the back of the shop, in some non-public area that a bunch of random, inquisitive people (regardless of age) weren't welcome to visit. Maybe the area was just trashed or otherwise unseemly, and would leave a bad

What was described is not pathological. It doesn't involve disease or a disturbed mental state. No part is paradoxical, counterintuitive, or involves unexpected results. Nothing shows that it is other than normal and healthy behavior

Every single time we interact, it becomes increasingly clear that you aren't picking up my words at all. I feel like I'm chatting with ChatGPT 3, as I was years ago when it would just articulately weasel its way around everything
