I post stuff to my blog mostly for myself to look it up later and to possibly help people with similar interests. So, why not just do it and see how it goes?

Yeah, everyone has to find their own way of organising, I guess. For me, there are too many different little projects that it would get messy throwing them all in one folder. And they’re so varied that I couldn’t think of one single “theme” or topic for most of them. Nothing I would remember a week later anyways.

Same, but by language, e.g. Development/Python.

That’s what happens if you rely on 3rd party services that are very eager to please anyone that spells out DMC without even waiting for the A.

The fear of naked (intact) female bodies, i.e. censoring of even the slightest nudity, when at the same time, it’s totally fine to have minors play computer games where they can dissect other humans in great bloody detail.

Oh, and chocolate that tastes like somebody barfed into it during manufacturing.

There should still be the rather tame World Digital Brasil… but their Tinfoil server is down at the moment, it seems.

Kemie and Kina

I threw up a little…

The brown paper-bag thing with alcohol in public. I mean, everybody and their dog knows what’s in there, right?

And the fact that people ask if you need help if you decide to NOT take the car but instead walk the 5 minutes to somewhere.

Also: Microwave. Apparently, lots of people heat their water in the microwave. (See pinned comment here.)

tmux is a modern screen replacement.

If your distro uses apt, install aptitude and enjoy a nice TUI for all your package management needs…

Yep, my DS415+ is still going strong and fell out of DSM support, so I’m stuck with DSM7.1. However, people successfully converted their xx15+ to a xx17+ model and were able to update to DSM7.2. So there’s no technical reason to not support these older systems.

Also, I had a very bad experience with Synology support when the C2000 bug hit my DS415+. Once this thing dies, I’ll definitely won’t get another Synology.

Is this a new thing? AFAIK, Synology used to be open source, but then went closed source several years ago. Which is, when the Xpenology project was born.

In the comments the victim said that the police said it were two emails they got. Not even a call.

I think the option isn’t part of the current carrier profiles, so the carriers have to update those and submit to Apple.

Hopefully, once RCS for iOS lands

Only a few days left, now. Well, depends on whether your carrier allows it.

Sounds like you want MicroPython. It’s definitely available on OpenWrt and AlpineLinux and has a very small footprint.

If you don’t like Python, have a look at Lua/luajit.

There was one where the guy behind it went to massive lengths so people couldn’t easily distinguish the example files by other means than audio quality. Verdict was that people with more expensive equipment even preferred the sound of the MP3s (320kbps CBR). I think it was this one (Links to Parts 2 and 3 at the bottom.).

Somewhere else I’ve read that - for most humans - 256 kbps MP3s encoded with VBR-ABR using a high-end encoder are basically indistinguishable from the lossless original. Even at 192 kbps it’s still more hit&miss than it should be. But I don’t remember where I’ve read that.

Is that an indirect plea to open an issue for it? We should do this.

The even bigger irony is that he only sued for $50k. That’s peanuts for big D. Their lawyers probably got more for digging up that arbitration clause.
