I think he refers to mail headers. Those are normally hidden away from you, at least on a PC browser you can see them:

1. Open the specific email.

2. Click the three vertical dots (More options icon) next to the "Reply" button.

3. Select "Show original" from the dropdown menu.

shellwizard··on Chrome is looking to permanently drop MV2 extension
Normies don't care much about ads, trackers and all that nuisance. I find it astonishing when you see them dodging all that crap while browsing the Internet
shellwizard··on Chrome is looking to permanently drop MV2 extension
Not using many extensions on my case, but Google meet remains unusable for a long time, sound is horrible during meetings. Chrome on the other hand works fine

It depends on the type of hardware that you use for your server. If it's really server grade you're totally right. For example cheap memory+CPU+MB x99 off AliExpress are cheap but they're not very efficient.

In my case I fell in love with the tiny/mini/micros and have a refurbish Lenovo m710q running 24/7 and only using 5W when idling. I know it doesn't support ECC memory or more than 8 threads, but for my use case is more than enough

shellwizard··on Clean-room implementation of Half-Life 2 on the Quake 1 engine
Impressive, given how old Q1 engine is. It brings back memories of Paranoid Doom mod: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/p-r/par...
shellwizard··on Quake Brutalist Jam III
Don't forget about Doom (1993) and Doom 2 (1994), 30 years old and still have a large community of users and mappers, even John Romero released episodes 5 and 6 for the original Doom. On the other hand I used to play some single player maps for Q1 some years ago, the site [quaddicted](https://www.quaddicted.com/) was wonderful

No mention of Spotify's terrible UX in mobile devices?
shellwizard··on A ncurses-based command line torrent client for high performance
Yep, same, I prefer aria2c for one go torrent/magnet links although it lacks a proper TUI for handling more than one torrent, transmission daemon and transmission-remote was better in that regard

shellwizard··on IBM Intellistation 185 AIX workstation (2016)
