  • I see the price as $21.91 in the search result page. After clicking on it, it returns error 403.

  • I was just about to shit on the article without reading it (as is tradition), but it's an absolute blast. You really can't unsee it. The Electrolux especially will never be the same to me.

    Skip the gradient - flat design still works

    Except for this. No. The flat design was an awkward phase we silently suffered through. Don't confuse the lack of rebelion or some kind of catharsis for the acceptance. We just wanted the suffering to stop without reliving the trauma.

  • land is still within the borders of a country unless they are on some unclaimed island somewhere

    There will always be a bigger bully laying claim on any interesting piece of land. See the conflicts in Ukraine, Myanmar, Sudan, Taiwan, Palestine... It doesn't mean their claim has any moral basis.

  • only if they totally forfeit the right to any services, privileges, etc.

    Fully agree. Right after the governments gives up their monopoly on certain services, and stop cheating the market by nationalizing the land for certain kinds of projects. It's hard to compete with an entity that can just steal the land and negotiate the price later.

  • Be careful. Having ownership of your resources allows you to take your stuff, or sell it, and try something else somwhere else. If all the resources are communal, it is harder to escape if the things go south. One of the reasons why is it difficult to leave certain kind of cults.

  • Well, technically speaking, if you publish all the private information upfront, it can't "leak", but..

  • Well, this is exactly the kind of question one asks if one wants to get lectured about multiple ways they're wrong by the graphene developers.

    In other words, no. It isn't :)

  • Was this launch special in any way? I had no idea these effects are observable from this side of the planet.

  • Few things on this planet scare me as much as misfolded prions. Disgusting freaks of nature, turning organisms into living evil paperclip factories!

  • Multiple good hypotheses here. I'd like to add my own. The governments can be viewed as a modern iterations of religious cults, and there is no bigger taboo in a religious organization than questioning the basic dogma.

    Try to question democracy in a democratic republic and you immediately get the weird looks, and irrational dismissal. 9 times out of 10 this self preservation instinct is good and beneficial to everyone involved, because giving a benefit of doubt to closeted authoritarians would be a mistake. That one time somebody really wants to have an honest discussion, it simply sucks.

  • If it does not help, try limiting the maximum number of active connections in qbittorrent.

  • The pose, the blue robe... What is Homelander doing... The who? Mexican president?

  • You won't believe what happened next!

  • 16 wind turbines? This is ridiculous, considering all of their solar plants can be remotely disabled using a set of 6 radios, destabilizing the whole european power grid in a snap.

  • Yes. Because the value if everything is relative.

  • You've just used the word "normie". Why would anyone even read the rest of the post?

  • When you stop voting for maniacs messing with our monetary sytem, we can shut the bitcoin down. Until then, hands off my sudoku.

  • to educate themselves

    In other words, to do their own research?

    I'll show myself out...

    Why is the vision correction in VR headsets only an afterthought?

    Researchers predict that by the year 2050, about half of the world's population will have myopia.

    Considering the target demographic, a significant number of potential VR users suffer from myopia already. Why are there no more VR headsets with adjustable focus?

    Several vendors offer replaceable lenses, or various addons to fit the glasses in, but the obvious solution used by the early cheap headsets like GearVR - adjustable distance between lenses and the display, is not being utilized for some reason.

    Is it a technical problem, economical problem? Are the modern lenses somehow tuned for a specific distance?

    Managed to get SOMETHING out of NOAA 19, using dipole

    Everyone knows helix antenna is needed for capturing NOAA satellite images, due to circular polarization of the signal, right?

    As I was listening to ISS APRS repeater (with great success!), I noticed NOAA 19 would pass over me shortly. Since the dipole was already set up outside, I decided to give it a go.

    Software used:

    • GQRX to capture the audio
    • Gpredict to know when to start the recording, and to compensate for the doppler shift
    • noaa-apt to convert the audio file to an image

    Hardware used:

    • RTL-SDR.com branded USB dongle
    • 3 lousy USB extension cords
    • "Bunny ear" retractable dipole antenna that I got in a bundle with one of the SDRs

    Now, there is not much to see in the image, but I sure as hell can spot some clouds there, and that's much more than I actually expected!

    Can I use the same domain name for Lemmy and Mastodon?

    I'd like to self-host Lemmy or kbin and mastodon. I know I could use different subdomain for each, but I'd much rather keep it short. Something tells me, however, that other instances might not be happy about it.

    Is it doable?

    Google is a search engine for human readable content. Shodan does the same for machine readable content.

    You can:

    • search for specific IP addresses, and it will show you the active ports, and running services.
    • search for a specific response header in the set of countries
    • browse through the screenshots of open VNC & RDP
    • open webcams
    • and more...

    The free accounts can use any feature, but the list of results is limited. But if you really want to look under the deck of the internet, the subscription is worth it.
