That's a good pun. Clearly the authors have mastered the second hardest problem in computer science.

The best you can realistically do is vote for people who care about solving the problem, and against people who ignore the problem.

I was using voip.ms last year when they were DDoS'd for over a week, by a group demanding payment via anonymous crypto. The DDoS ended when they switched to CloudFlare (which was probably pretty difficult because they're a SIP provider.)

Almost any website with a small number of servers is vulnerable to this attack, which happens to be great business for CloudFlare. I wonder which companies are most effectively competing with CloudFlare?

At least my washing machine plays a cute little tune.

Is it an LG?

SMOKING WORDS CAUSES CANCER

AOL came on floppies originally, but the quality was so poor that you could barely rewrite them.

Wikipedia says ± 525 kV DC. They're sending 1.4 GW a distance of 765 km. Previous record was the North Sea Link at 720 km.

Google is at fault here for creating the software-defined garbage, but they're not literally selling the products, are they?

It is straightforward to run an isolated network with TCP/IP, DNS, and web servers. The hard part would be dealing with software that complains/fails if you're not using HTTPS.

In general, you would want an offline copy of the entire software stack (e.g. a Gentoo Linux mirror) so you can patch whatever problems you encounter.

I'm made of meat.

Yeah, I think some people are born with an innate desire to understand how things work. It's possible to recognize it in toddlers, based on observations within my extended family. Our society would be enriched if we were better at recognizing and nourishing that trait when it appears in women.

I don't think "anyone" can excel in STEM, but there are likely a lot of women (and to a lesser extent men) who potentially could, but fail to get the right exposure at a young enough age.

Between 2017 and today, it was a mostly-blank page with the letter "x": https://web.archive.org/web/20230722020649/http://x.com/

There is a USB-C IR blaster that exists, but the Tiqiaa/ZaZaRemote app is awful.

You are 10% hydrogen already.

I'm just documenting how the world is, not how it should be. In general women can form relationships passively (be excellent and accept/reject offers), while men have to engage in active pursuit, or else nothing happens.

Android still doesn’t support DHCPv6 and will be left without a valid address.

RFC 7934 explains their reasoning, though it's not exactly an ironclad argument.

Here are some alternatives:

• lemmyans
• lemmynauts
• lemmyzens

If we could start from scratch, I would define an absolute temperature scale where water freezes at 500, roughly 1.83x the kelvin scale.

So 4xx is freezing, and the max survivable temperature is around 570. (Water boils at 683, but freezing and boiling can't both be round numbers on an absolute scale.)

BL-5C is becoming a de facto standard size for random electronics, but it's too small for a smartphone.

I would like to think that my biggest accomplishments (at a major tech company for 10+ years) happened through making good technical/ideological arguments, listening to people's problems, and telling computers how to fix them, rather than my physical appearance. Whenever they asked me to be a manager, I was like "ugh, no that sounds awful."

Then after 15 months of COVID isolation, I burned out and left. Now I'm thinking it'd be nice if I'd learned how to approach women and do standard masculine things. The world doesn't just give you sex for excelling in school/work.

I guess my point is that a patriarchal society makes it difficult for men who don't actively pursue power over others to form relationships.

They should park it with two staircases.

It's more like 3 really wide pixels.

https://lemmy.one/c/meta is the relevant community for that question.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I didn't find an alternative, when I looked a few months ago.

I'm connected to 2a01:4f9:3a:178f::2 now. Thanks.

My thought while watching the movie was:

Wow this "patriarchy" concept is intriguing. It seems like it would be really useful if I hadn't gone through life avoiding any kind of power or responsibility.
