   Gold leaf is actually very cheap since its so thin. I can't imagine something like this costing more than a dollar in gold.

   I like Nearlyfreespeech.net for stuff like this. For $1.50 per month, they let you easily host static HTML files. You don't have to learn about servers or routing or anything. https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/services&#

   Open VLC, then hit Ctrl+L to open the playlist menu. Then click Icecast Radio Directory. There's thousands of ad-free streams right there.

   That's pretty much exactly what happened. Nurses demanded higher pay. Government said no. Nurses threatened to strike. Government said they can't do that. Nurses threatened to resign in mass. Government passed a new law forbidding

   It certainly is here in the northern latitudes. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone in Florida has never heard of it.

    I remember the launch of Firefox 2.0 being an internet-shattering event. People were having launch parties and everything.

    Well you're going to use either your own IP address or a VPN to connect to Telegram, right? So what difference does it make if they see that you mined coins from the same address? It doesn't give away any additional info.

    There are a few non-Mac vendors that still support S3 sleep mode. I think Thinkpads still work. The problem is that it requires vendors to support it in the BIOS. Windows no longer supports S3 sleep mode, so vendors aren't willing to a

    If you give people a good reason, they'll actually care. "Use YYYY-MM-DD as it allows us to sort by date in the filesystem" is a great reason. On the other hand, bickering about DD-MM-YYYY vs MM-DD-YYYY because "that&#x2

    For Linux devices, you'd tell employees to only install software through their package manager, then have something like unattended-upgrades (installed by default on Debian-based systems) handle automatic security updates. https:&#x2F

    I remember everyone had a flashlight for around the house. You'd generally need one when changing incandescent light bulbs, which burnt out every 6 months or so. A lot of people would also carry around the pocket Maglights for whatever

    People are against Epic because the CEO is obviously acting in bad faith and so shameless about it. He claims to be in favor of open platforms when it is beneficial to his bottom line, but refuses to do the bare minimum to support Linux. Ob
