Goto (as in "Go to") and Goto (as in the romaji version of one of 後藤, 五藤, 五島, …) is simple two things that sound/look the same when written in ASCII w/o spaces. :)

`ansiweather` needs like ~6.28 MiB (measured with `/usr/bin/time -l` on OS X), but it's a bash script that invokes cURL, so there's certainly various overheads there too.

One probably could get this down way below ~1 MiB with a properly tuned straight executable written in C (best not to use any of the "modern" stuff like Rust and Go, their default binary sizes for outputting "Hello, world!\n" are already extreme :-) )

By default anything needs at least 532480 bytes RSS on OSX (I tested it with the most minimal C hello world), so that's a threshold one probably can't beat on OS X at least. We probably could kill that value on Amiga OS with the exact same functionality. :-)

Thanks! The original link gave me a 403 only.

I'm getting a "browser not supported" by the Cloudflare check. So I guess the "job is well done", and the user is lost.

I always found it odd that there's only one single origin of life point or even just a single common ancestor considered in history. Shouldn't entirely new life develop all the time on earth? I mean the ingredients and building blocks are still there, the environmental situation still should work out, like availability of water, temperatures, etc. We should see a constant emergence of new life all the time. Why would that process stop, just because some other life already exists? Maybe we just can't detect this, because whatever new life happens to appear —more or less— resembles life that's already there.

Different word, same stupid concept.

Also it would be one human "species", not "race".

I personally also block access by web browsers to non-standard ports (aka not :80 or :443) via an app firewall (Little Snitch here). In this case it would have warned me when the compromised script would have called home to that endpoint on the non-standard port.

Gotta tackle such issues at different places all at once for sure. It's like wearing 5 digital condoms at once. Too bad there's still some leakage somewhere for sure. B)

I never upgraded beyond the PS2 (and I was a heavy console gamer back in the days), because all the "needs network", "needs account", "needs certificate to be valid", etc. stuff is entirely scaring me off investing my money in any of that.

Now, my motto is: if I can't run it safely in an emulator and download the files from some "abandoned wares" site then I don't care. And I have zero moral problems with that.

I never really got into the 3D pinballs, for some reason those are less fun, maybe because visually they are harder to read?

I always preferred the "2D" pinballs, with Pinball Dreams and Slam Tilt my two favourites. I still play those from time to time.

Stupid question: wouldn't a simple comparison with the body(parts) from the inappropriate pictures sent to the girl have helped the innocent guy? I mean those thingies all look different, no, like some sort of "fingerprint"?

410 and a "Sec-Fetch-Mode:" string in the response body. I guess it thinks I'm a bot? Thanks!

Nothing to read, nothing to see, I move along. (Yikes, the modern web sucks!)

Earlier era for me actually. I'm a 90s person. :)

A few really nice buttons there, indeed. :)

I may have missed one by looking at this huge dump, but NONE of the "buttons" I saw there actually looked/felt like a button. Something I can feel that I press it down and it gives proper visual feedback, like a little 3D effect.

I'm old-school. :)

My SSD only reports as 121 GB. Dunno why it's such an odd size.

With 21,647,615 MiB (~20.64 TiB) written. Reporting as 99 (down from initial 100?) in the normalised value, but the normalised value hasn't changed since I first checked in 2015, so maybe it doesn't work? The wear leveling is at 180 (down from initial 200?), and the threshold at 100, so still ~80 to go until expected EOL. I'm losing between 1 and 2 points per year at the current rate.

I'm also hoping for another 10 years at least. *knock-on-wood*

It's the typical Cloudflare error where it tells you "Your browser sucks", not sure what a screenshot would help. :)

There's a survey link. Not sure it works as Cloudflare blocks me from accessing it. Oh the irony, having my opinion as EU citizen about an EU issue blocked by some silly US company.

I want some birds too!

I'm running my own home server on an old 2014 Mac mini, 24/7 basically. It both has a SSD and a HDD (old "Fusion" disk type of machine, but I use both parts separately, the SSD part for the OS, the HDD part for the data.)

A few days ago the HDD had its 100,000 Power_On_Hours anniversary. :) According to SMART this is way past the expected/ designed life time of the disk (the normalised value reports "1" since a few years when the disk hit about 42,000 Power_On_Hours)

So you never know. It either works or it doesn't. You have backups for the worst case.

F.ex. in the case of flyers or other smaller print products: You will not print one product for one customer at once, but many at once (e.g. from different customers), that will share a sheet. So, e.g., you print 1000 of everything, aka 1000 sheets. If a customer needs 2000 they get two spots on the sheet. If a customer wants 4000, they get 4 spots. Now, if a customer needs less than 1000, they still need one spot for the 1000. For that customer this still will be way cheaper than doing a separate small series print.

Site doesn't work for me (older Firefox). Looks like there's no CSS and some Javascript error (probably makes it bail out loading the CSS?)

Many years ago I worked in the printing industry. F.ex. a client wants 100 products of something (e.g. posters or flyers), usually it was more cost effective to produce a 1000 (or more) and then throw away 900 the client didn't need. Obviously a huge waste of material.

BlitzBasic(2) was also great. Hacked together bunch of games with it. Huge fun.

I wonder how many people may have gotten an actual heart infarct because of that. There may be a person out there that may be dead as a result.

It's entirely irresponsible of Amazon to even display such values to the user.

There's a weird "Cloudflare" captcha on that site. I can't get past that either. :)

Oh well… the article probably hasn't anything useful or important to say anyway. Time to move on.

Article needs registration.

Just flash OpenWRT to them? :) (a script could prepare a matching default config)

In the same scene there's also a 24h clock. The movie was way ahead of its time (pun intended). :-)

The 10h clock is also used in the scenes where a worker madly adjusts the hands to keep the moloch running.

I wonder if there's a project like there's OpenWRT for routers, just for vacuum robots? Where you just can buy some device form a normal online shop, then flash your custom firmware, and off you go with a privacy respecting fellow that doesn't film you and doesn't send everything to some US or Chinese cloud. :)

(I still use a traditional vacuum here, because all the privacy and snooping aspects of those robot thingies.)

I always encode my AAC with VBR. Why wouldn't you, right? I guess I'll stick to apple or fdkaac for now.

As long we still have DCF77…
