You do realize Vancouver has rioted 2 out of 3 times after losing the cup on game 7?

My husky got sprayed once on a late night walk. She was so confused – she just wanted to be friends!

She got two jets: one in the facial area and another on her rump. The stuff near her face came out relatively quickly (think a timeline of months), whereas the spray on her butt really got the chance to soak in to her double coat. It would still smell ~5 years later if she got wet, just absurd staying power.

It did eventually fade or, at the very least, became less distinguishable from the general smell of wet dog

The malicious code is only thought to have affected deb/rpm packaging (i.e the backdoor only included itself with those packaging methods). Additionally, arch doesn’t link ssh against liblzma which means this specific vulnerability wasn’t applicable to arch. Arch may have still been vulnerable in other ways, but this specific vulnerability targeted deb/rpm distros

I hope you’re right and this isn’t about them getting ready to DRM brush handles to brush heads. Sonicare brush heads are ridiculously overpriced compared to the knock offs

I mean, certain airlines are starting to adopt size policies which will grant you an additional seat if you are overweight. Why is it such a stretch to believe that tall people should receive the same accommodation?

This is a feature of SATA devices too. Use UUIDs in your fstab unless you enjoy playing musical chairs with your mount points

Been a sync user since 2010. LJ has taken a lot of breaks but has always come back

It was a sad day when my Metroid Prime 4 pre-order at Amazon with a very nice discount got cancelled

The LE steam decks are shipping with a screen manufactured by BOE.

Mine just arrived and indeed has 3 dead subpixels (2 blue, 1 green)

LE, order placed 10:19 Pacific. Not shipped yet, but packaged. Guess the Canada shipping backlog is real – hopefully it comes this week.

If you think that’s silly then you should see all the people praising a woman for putting an ice cube in a pot to the same effect.

Sure it stopped the water from boiling over, it also stopped the water boiling at all.

But you actually don’t know what monero is being used for when it’s used in transactions, no one does. You just have a bias that if people want to keep their transactions secret, it must be illegal.

You could make the same argument for cash.

This is called the “Door in the face method” of bargaining. Start with a request so high and absurd that you “slam the door in their face” because it’s so absurd.

The next time they try, they’ll come back with an offer that sounds far more reasonable than the original request. Since you’re still primed with the previous context, your brain makes it sound less bad than it probably is ("At least it’s not the first offer!). You’re more likely to accept after this.

The opposite technique is called “foot in the door”, start with a small request (get your foot in the door) and then increase the ask after the small request goes over.

This will probably use some well-defined api endpoint to do their telemetry check-in, so this could probably be effectively circumvented if users were willing and able to do host level overrides to specifically prevent the unity engine from phoning home

You need a budget, but it’s not free.

But with Intuit, you are the product, so it’s only free in the sense that they get your info and you get mint in return.

Not a single shot of the front of the phone 🤔

I don’t really use it for this, but here are some things I do use it for:

• metrics scraping on servers without needing to open ports or worry about ssl encryption. Works great for federating Prometheus instances or scraping exporters
• secure access to machines not directly exposed to the internet. I.e. ssh access to my home box while I’m traveling
• being an exit node for web traffic while traveling. I.e. maybe you are traveling and have a bank who is giving you grief about logging in – masquerade that connection from your home IP

I mostly just use it for metrics scraping though

Air Canada: we’re not happy until you’re not happy

Some of these “businesses” are in fact chia farming and whatnot, though. I know the marketing language is always what gets people ruffled up in datahoarder, but this isn’t exactly something I would consider as a legitimate business use and a single plot uses 100GB of space which can’t even begin to be deduplicated. If your entire business resolves around making money as a result of storing unreasonably large amounts of data then the cloud ain’t it and realistic data costs need to be factored into your data models. I’m actually a bit surprised that Dropbox responded so quickly to the influx of gdrive abusers.

For the average user, it would be substantially more cost effective and sustainable for you to invest in hard drives rather than paying Dropbox $100/mo to rent storage. Cloud providers will decide at any time to change the term of your agreement. The hard drive is yours until it dies.
