Plenty of Congresspeople fly commercial like everyone else, at least between their district and DC.

404media was formed by the exodus from Vice Media's bankruptcy.

Anticlimactic, partly unpacked moving box. I was mostly surprised it was able to re-join the mesh while being in a completely different spot, something that a lot zigbee chips struggle with.

https://lamer.cz/ in Czech Republic. Definitely thought that was the original long time ago.

Happened to me recently when moving. Couldn't find one of my zigbee temperature sensors, but it was still reporting information diligently, so it had to be somewhere in the house. Took about 6 months before I found it.

Presumably the LED ads are also cheaper than employing people to change the posters.

Yeah I was sort of lucky that my edge case was on the last line, still took a full hour of wondering why my solution was wrong though.

Those vigilante groups do it largely when a large SUV is parked illegally, such as on a sidewalk. You don't have as much of a chance to park like that in the US.

It's definitely still available for Porsche[0]

Czech Republic also has a pumped-storage plant in Dlouhé stráně[0]. It's also in a protected landscape and in my opinion looks amazing [1], especially when you descend from Praděd. It's one of the only large scale industrial projects in Czech Republic that is on a world-class level.

That's amazing, it feels similar to people playing chess in movies (not sure if it happens in real life) without the board, just remembering the positions.

Using the account of probably one of the few trustworthy people in crypto probably helps.

How long until pop-ups appear on Ubuntu that say "Ditch Chrome, use Firefox (snap version)"

> As said before, in this tutorial we will be using Manjaro due to it:

> * containing a fully configured system (yes bloat, idc its a beginners tutorial)

So is it for beginners or power users? Or can that be the same person? Choice of Manjaro is also curious, considering its history.

Are you sure your car isn't set to hybrid or EV in the maps settings? I think it defaults to eco if that's the case.

> * Re-route when an Autobahn is closed completely (I am located in Germany). It's a hot mess for some reason, while that's working relatively fine when there are accidents/congestions.

Apple Maps are pretty good about that in the US I think, just today the app was making me avoid a construction closure which hasn't been there last week. However there is still the human error of me thinking that the app couldn't possibly know that so fast so I still drove towards the closure and had to turn around. I think Google Maps tell you if part of the route is closed, not in the Apple Maps though.

I think that is one group of people where English-based slurs haven't stuck. But on the other hand the languages around Germany have still plenty of slurs for Germans, which funnily won't be caught by the bluesky filter.

This is pretty cool, I'm a big fan of the fiber map of Africa - https://afterfibre.nsrc.org/

Yes

AlmaLinux is being heavily floated as an option in my place of work. We have RHEL7 and 8 licenses but due to pricing might switch.

To your point here: > I'd also love to be able to use my GPG keys via NFC, something an iPhone definitely has the hardware to do, but Apple has decided to not allow it.

This is possible since iOS13 I think. I use my GPG keys in a YubiKey to unlock my Pass for iOS app.

Are the same people interested in a GNU/Linux laptop the same ones that want to buy a VPN subscription alongside it?

I've been hanging on to my original band from when I bought my Series 7 watch, partly because I'm not sure I trust amazon bands that seem to cost a fraction of the price of the OEM bands. If they fail, I'll get a ding on the watch at best or a broken screen at worst. This did make me trust the off-brand bands a little more, since they seem to require a better mechanism that my previous swappable-band watch had.

> From my experience working at a university (in the foreign language department), I found a number of students who put a large effort into "getting out of work". I was astonished at the number who put more effort into avoiding work than it would have taken to get an A.

It's funny when that happens, I used to do this in 7th or 8th grade when we were doing home exercises in touch typing. All the typing tasks were given from a textbook that was the same for everyone in the country, for a few years at least. Over 2 years of classes, I had probably spent more time scouring the internet for the solution rather than type it myself. The search was however always more entertaining than the exercise and taught me how to use the web. And I still learned how to touch type.

On the day the .zip/.mov domains started trending, I looked at hunterbidenlaptop.zip but didn't want to shell out $17 just to sit on a domain. I see that it has now been taken.

Many people got that hygge book, but it's funny when you actually go to Denmark and find out most of it is actually made up. Hygge is real, but it's being pushed way more now that it's become a global word.

Only broken mess I'm experiencing seems to do with iOS integration of 3rd party keyboards. I think the apps are supposed to remember which keyboard you want to use with them, but the SwiftKey regularly persists even in apps in which I didn't switch to it. I wish I didn't have to use it, but until Apple rolls out swipe and autocorrect support to my native language, I'll have to suffer.

Next logical step would be the Antonov An-2 flying at negative ground speed, backwards.

I don't know if it started with pi-hole but one of these projects must have been the turning point for "load up an SD card and let your pi run for years at a time with nothing else". That's how a lot of people use them and especially with recent prices it's pretty wasteful. I have 2 pis and both run multiple of the programs that people usually run solo on a pi (Octoprint, MPD server and player, UPS controller, (Zig|ZW)2MQTT and so on)
