swappable battery is cool and all but I wish my phone would allow hotswapping it if plugged into a charger, so it could stay booted (I wouldn't mind modem etc. restarting, just the main OS should stay up imo)

Ah, the German heptateutonic scale.

sorry about the ipv4 address shortage . i was a bit hungy

Apps that log you out because you haven’t used the app in over a week. WHY? It’s isn’t even a crucial app like a bank or something.

Wizards of the Coast did as they promised, and released a System Reference Document (that is, the basic rules and game mechanics) for the 2024 edition of Dungeons & Dragons under an extremely open Creative Commons (CC-BY-4.0) licence.

D&D isn't necessarily the game for *you*, but it *is* historically significant and still extremely popular, and I think it's cool that any part of it is available under such a licence.

With both #Eurovision and the Papal conclave happening in May, it’s gonna be a big month for Europeans who love overly complex, confusing and dramatic ways to select a winner that are run by international bureaucracies, include smoke for dramatic effect and feature excessively extra outfits

@anildash Several years ago we created a man-in-the-middle system - basically a two port Ethernet bridge - that implemented what we called a "constipation engine".

It would recognize an incoming TCP connection and based on supplied criteria would distinguish between connections to be allowed and those to be constipated.

The TCP constipation manipulated the TCP window size parameters so that from the attacker's point of view a TCP connection would be open and in a connected state but the data flow would be a trickle. Thus a web page fetch, nominally very fast could span many minutes, even hours,

Most attackers, driven by software not people, would not notice this slow down of data delivery to a few bytes every few seconds.

Although this would not stop web scraping it would slow the attacker to a crawl, likely preventing it from ever finishing its scraping or moving on to other victims.

The cost for the website was basically some TCP state control blocks in memory and very little CPU or network I/O burden.

So far on #EarthDay walk, I’ve seen Lilac, Periwinkle & Lavender flowers! It is really cool to meet the namesakes of our human colors. 💜

I was amazed when I met Fuscia a few years ago!!

Do you have any favorite color-namesakes? Please tell or show me about the pretty things

6 years later and I still wonder what happened to this door I encountered in an abandoned building to make it look like that

The camera is monitoring a smoldering log pile but it caught a groundhog taking a moment to appreciate the sunset

Nieuwssites en kranten e.d. hebben nogal de neiging om de oorzaak van incidenten en rampen helemaal weg te laten uit de berichtgeving, waardoor je geen verbanden kunt leggen.

En als je ze daar dan op aanspreekt, dan is het excuus "ja maar de oorzaak weten we niet met zekerheid op het moment van publicatie".

Waarom publiceer je er dan uberhaupt over?! Wat is de toegevoegde waarde van je nieuwsartikel voor de maatschappij dan nog, als je zelf ook nog geen idee hebt wat er aan de hand is of welke lessen je daaruit kunt trekken?

uspol, autism 

RFK Jr does not genuinely believe that they will find "the cause of autism" by September, nor is there any intention to do so. They understand perfectly well that that's not possible.

It's just a pretext so that when they make up some eugenics bullshit in September, it'll sound more credible because now people will believe that it came from "science".

lmfaooo turns out the "software terminated" phone number from the ps1 modchip detection still works and while they do take a bit to find the info they actually still tell you to remove the modchip when calling them

“Separate the art from the artist” is an idea from literary criticism: it’s about giving you permission to talk about what the art _does_ without having to argue about whether the artist _intended_ that effect.

It’s not a moral framework! It doesn’t say anything about how to feel about buying a product, art or otherwise, that supports creators with odious opinions.

It’s not incongruent to be totally subscribed to the Death of the Author and also not want to buy any Harry Potter stuff.
