I swear I’ve bought stuff at Costco before that was 1.3608kg.

It’s right there in the article.

over roughly the distance between New York and Florida

over 1,120 miles (1,802 kilometers).

This is the most American thing ever. Taking an official number (1,808km), converting it to customary units (1,123mi) rounding it (1,120mi) then converting it back again with rounding error.

I’d send them a pic of my hairy bollocks as proof.

VHS player

VCR.

It stands for Video Cassette Recorder. There is no such thing as a “player”. They all have recording capability.

I’ve programmed the intel 8051. I made a firmware update to get it working on 4G/LTE modems. I must say the debug tools weren’t the greatest. There was a lot of logging invovled.

A lot of modern tech is garbage. You just need to practice the purchasing habits of Richard Stallman. There are literally hundreds of routers on the market that you can install your own custom OS on. This is the case with many phones, and almost every PC.

“VCR” vs “VHS Player”:

The educational route I took was Hurricane Electric’s free IPv6 online course. It taught me a bunch of networking principles. When you finish the course (and get “sage” status), you get free lifetime DNS access. This includes dynamic DNS that automatically updates when your IP address changes.

Because of this, I can self-host on a basic residential plan without paying for any additional services.

Ahh yes, the brainrot feed.

AI needs to be regulated with an energy cap. If you need more capacity, optimise your AI. Don’t just throw more electricity at it.

Have you tried not doing that?

It’s really as easy as not doing that.

If your reverse proxy only acknowledges jellyfin exists if the hostname is correct, you won’t get discovered by an IP scanner.

Mine’s on jellyfin.[domain].com and you get a completely different page if you hit it by IP address.

If it does get found, there’s also a fail2ban to rate-limit someone brute-forcing a login.

I’ve always exposed my home IP to the internet. Haven’t had an issue in the last 15 years. I’m running about 10 public-facing services including NTP and SMTP.

The top result is always some AI-gen, 2000-word essay response to a simple yes/no question like “Can a dog eat onions?”

I swear they do it to train us to just use the shitty AI summary of the shitty AI essay.

The bill would jeopardize rideshare services in Colorado “to an untenable degree, and could very well lead to companies that Coloradans rely on exiting the market, raising prices, or reducing the number of drivers,"

What a bizarre statement. If they exit the market, everything will improve.

Well, he assassinated an member of government. That’s far worse than a private citizen.

They forgot to publish the speed limit deltas for waymo and humans.

The fact that they showed less pedestrian collisions “with injuries” implies that they’re frequently meandering into peds at walking pace.

From what I’ve heard, these things are motorised traffic cones on the road.

Threw them over the wall.

What really irks me is that ConnectEast/Transurban somehow get away with it. If you miss a $2 toll they’ll get the police to send you a $150 fine for it.

What’s worse is that their systems actively block you from paying the toll afterwards.

Actually, the most fucked thing above all is these companies are using government resources to protect their revenue stream whilst paying zero taxes.

I almost copped the fine once in a brand new car that I hadn’t assigned my tag to yet. The only reason I managed to dodge the fine is because Transurban had me fly from Melbourne to Sydney with zero notice to oversee the deployment of their air quality monitoring systems in the M5 tunnel. Because, ya know, they couldn’t open the tunnel unless it was operational. I was driving to the airport at 5am. For them.

RyanAir won’t let up with these constant attacks on Lance Stroll.

Energy efficiency strongly correlates to datacentre costs.

I thought the idea of TS is that it strongly types everything so that the JS interpreter doesn’t waste all of its time trying to figure out the best way to store a variable in RAM.

Try jolting the nozzle toward the screen that insists upon your attention. You may find that LCD TFT panels are not as strong as steel.
