Funny thing is, Web 1.0 was mostly decentralized. Websites were hosted in locations all over the place. IRC and news groups ran across a ton of providers.

I really wish we would just shore up IPFS maybe work out of some kind of decentralized database solution, clean up centralized name service for it all.

I got to buy a flip and a fold for QA purposes for work. I test drove them for a few days before handing them over.

I daily drive an s24 ultra so I’m a fan of big phones already.

The use case for the fold is for anything where you would rather have a tablet. Some people would rather consume media on a bigger device. The real downside to me with the fold was the thickness while folded. It was uncomfortably thick in my pocket. And then of course there’s the inability to have any decent protection on the phone, and the lack of water resistance.

Now the flip on the other hand, I really enjoyed that device. It opened up to the same size as a decently large phone, you could fold it up and throw it in your pocket, It was protected.

They’re both too damn expensive. You could buy the biggest baddest flagship phones with the most beautiful screens and cameras for the same price as something that just folds up a little smaller in your pocket.

I wouldn’t dream of making anyone do anything… Okay well, that’s a lie but certainly nothing dental related.

Hell, I don’t even trust a single study anymore… This one was done in India under the pressures of not having enough dentists to cover their massive population.

The actual point behind it might be if you’re not going to floss, definitely mouthwash

mouth wash is at least as good

Mouthwash has a couple of downsides.

1. It does not discriminate good bacteria from bad bacteria. If you stop or delay treatment, you have a chance of getting a runaway situation with nasty bacteria.

2. It does not remove plaque. If you stop or delay treatment for a while, bacteria make and settle down in to plaque. You’re relying on dental visits to remove the plaque.

3. Mouthwash does not remove food lodged in the gumline or in between teeth.

If you don’t like flossing, I’d recommend getting a waterpic. Keep your tongue scrubbed and brush after every meal. Only use mouthwash if you start having funky smells / tastes / things seem off.

No cavities in 25 years. Unfortunately, the 25 years before that did not go as well, it took me a long time to sort out dental hygiene.

Music artists aren’t getting paid.

Companies regularly buy up IP, then leave it unavailable.

No central ability to find things.

All licenses are temporary and have no end date.

Companies are regularly raising rates far beyond inflation.

Lowering quality for a given price, then making a higher price point to get it back.

Adding advertisements and raising rates to get rid of them.

Selling our watching habits.

Or, you can download it and not deal with any of that.

When piracy rates go up, it’s because customer service and value has gone down.

I keep one in a docker container and one in an actual pi, that way I can perform updates and upgrades without interrupting DNS service at the house.

We’re too corrupt to allow the competition :)

If it weren’t mainly a rural vs. urban split, I

Yeah, we’d have to move them somewhere, perhaps down South… Make the link around say Virginia… Sounds familiar, but I can’t lay my finger on it…

I was on a cruise once. Upper deck mini-buffet had a plate of piped black bean croquettes.

They were lumpy like the beef here, and because they were piped, one side of the ends was pinched off.

The head chef for the boat was making his rounds. We were laughing at the presentation. He smiled at us probably thinking what are these assholes laughing at, he looked down, frowed, what za fuk were zey thinking putting shit out like this. Within a few minutes the pan disappeared and the next day that buffet was quite pretty.

Hell, even if you are a programmer and have no memory issues, it’s a hell of a lot faster to have it boilerplate something for you for a given engine with certain features than to sit down and write it from scratch or try to find a boilerplate. Stack exchange usage has been going down regularly as LLMs are filling the gap.

It doesn’t get you to third base or anything. But it does get you started and well-structured within the first couple minutes of code for any reasonably simple task.

Last year I worked on a synchronized Halloween projector project. I had the first week of work saved into my repo, but as Halloween approached, I wrote a lot of it on the server. After Halloween, I failed to commit it back and inadvertently wiped the box.

This year, after realizing my code was gone, I decided to try having copilot give me a head start. I had it start back over from scratch, asked it in detail for exactly what I had last year, it was all fully functional again in about 4 hours. It was clean, functional well documented code. I had no problem extending it out with my own work and picked up like I hadn’t lost anything.

Nobody is going to upload this but this is the same scenario that had Brave screwing around with cryptocurrency and selling search engine results.

My dream for Mozilla is that it does not descend into a capitalist marionette full of silent information gathering and black-box AI widgets. If you’re going to do AI, I want it open, like training data open. Whitepaper open. I want to be able to trust the company and it’s projects and especially it’s browser.

Even the printers that sell print heads as parts charge 3/4 of the printers price for them.

And, if you don’t print from an inkjet inside of about 6 months they often get clogged.

Laser printers can sit around for a decade fire right up and be fine. Inkjet printers are but for a narrow set of circumstances destined in short-term for e-waste.

It’s not supposed to be read only every time, The nasty command you enter is likely fixing a symptom.

A lot of times if you’re swapping back and forth between windows and Linux the drive will be perceived as dirty. An fsck might be enough to make it stop misbehaving.

After you plug it in if you run sudo dmesg, It might give you some insight as to why it’s being mounted read only, If you fix the underlying cause you won’t have to remember the command anymore

Trying to get Roblox running inside of mint is a pita

There may be an easier way to access the external drive, It depends on what you are bar is for difficult. Are we talking about a NAS or an external USB drive?

What’s your current method for connecting to it?

The article you just mentioned in the comments includes both a completely reasonable and viable regex and binary and library alternatives that are in most languages.

The regexes are written to comply with RFC 5332 and 6854

They are well defined and you can absolutely definitively check whether an address is allowable or not.
