You could hide that behind a proxy
lom··on Seven states push to require ID for watching porn online
This will only push underage users to more underground sites, that don’t care enough about the laws, and which have even more extreme content. Whoever thinks that teenagers will stop watching porn because of this is incredibly naive.

In the article it said both forces scrambled to down it, but it seems like the americans just got luckier.
lom··on Photoprism – open-source Google Photos Alternative
I’m running it on my pi, it’s indexed 4000 of my 8000 pictures in the last 30 hours. So yeah, not exactly fast - but it’s a rpi 2 or so, not exactly known for its performance.
lom··on Photoprism – open-source Google Photos Alternative

lom··on Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell
Wow! This is really cool, will definitely be using this for learning french. Thank you!

Just one question, is there a way to make words by default known? I’m at an intermediate level, and don’t really want to tell the program that I know all the rather simple words.. or does that not really matter?

lom··on Texas Records All Inmates Last Words Before Execution And Puts Them All Online
I hope people understand the grave injustice by the state. There are 300 people on death row, and everyone is not a monster. Texas is carrying out a very inhumane and injustice. It's not right to kill anybody just because I killed your people. Everyone changes, right? Life is about experience and people change. […] I hope you don't find satisfaction in this, watching a human being die.

Executed for killing another inmate in a fight..

lom··on Nix and NixOS, my pain points
This couldn’t be any further from my experience. Instead of being told fuck off, I was offered (and later offered when I became a maintainer myself) constructive criticism, often times with the patches, required to make it up to standard, included.

> maintainer says the old package works for him

We’re all just volunteers, who are doing this in our free time. Usually this works well enough for most packages, but you are always free to submit the fix yourself on nixpkgs ;). At least compared to other distros, that workflow simpler.

lom··on The Reason Why Are Trucks Getting Bigger
I remember that when these standards were revised some german car manufacturers warned the EPA that they favor larger vehicles and will have an adverse effect of what was intended.
lom··on The Reason Why Are Trucks Getting Bigger
You’ll be happy to know that pickups are actually more dangerous for their driver. Mostly because they’re more likely to spin out or roll over.
