I just landed on my 3rd - Gleba. Vulcanus and Fulgora are "good enough" for now. Once I have Gleba science up and running, I'll migrate to a bigger Nauvis base, because my starter base is bottlenecked by copper throughput with no easy way of increasing it.
Already possible, I believe. At least on client level: I've blocked a lot of junk in Voyager
Notification whenever there's something in the mod queue of a board I moderate. At least I don't see any such notification when using Voyager.

What's a good throwaway/single use email provider these day?
Title. You know, for when you need to register somewhere, and you don't want to provide an actual email for account verification..
Watching it on a drotary phone back then would've required landlines for every viewer. Highly inconvenient.
When this group of people on discord are online: Helldivers 2. It's a nice way of killing time while chitchatting.
When not: Factorio with the recently release Space Age expansion. Absolutely loving it.
And the study was even proven wrong in the 17th century. A finite amount of monkeys already produced Shakespeare in a finite amount of time; it took roughly 55 million years.
Source: Primates show up in the fossil records, dating to roughly 55mill years. And Shakespeare's complete works were most likely completed by William Shakespeare, a famous decendant of said primates.
I think I saw a series of documentaries on those busses some 10-15 years ago.
Imagine how much more space efficient it would've been if they had taken the bus instead.
Norwegian here, and there are some common mistakes I see in people not used to the climate.
- When walking on ice, at least the very slippery kind, use short steps. It reduces the chance of slipping.
- And if you do slip and begin to fall, take it like a champ and sit down gracefully. The most comedic sights are the ones flailing to try and stay uptight.
- Buy a snow shovel.
- There are many expensive things sold as ice and snow thawers, but these are usually just variations of salt and gravel. Whatever salt you can buy in bulk at the grocery store works just fine. And any sand/gravel that you can find in the summer will do.
- When shoveling snow, clear a wider path than what you think you'll need. A narrow strip is hard to keep clear after a while of heavy snowfall.
- If you have a car, make sure to have proper winter tires. If you do, you won't have to bother with snow chains.
- Car batteries don't like the cold. Make sure yours can hold charge well. Overdoing it with AmpHours is also a bonus.
- Get a scraper to remove ice from your windshield.
- Wet feet become cold feet. Stay dry. Wool socks are amazing at keeping your feet both warm and dry.
Same. Podcasts are also great, and some are even made specially for this purpose, like Nothing Much Happens.
Don't hold your breath. .su is still around, so I doubt .io will disappear very soon.

Can any one help me out with a quick request?
Tested it on linux mint, and it works just fine for me. 28G of RAM free, no swap in use.
Using Firefox 132, mo plugins/add-ons. Fairly stock Mint install, freshly installed yesterday.
This depends. I've found that the cheaper KVM solutions are pretty picky when it comes to supported hardware and standards. While the more expensive/industrial ones are more forgiving.
Well, logically the immunity would also cover the vice president, as the stated argument for immunity was that a president should be able to act without having to clear everything with a lawyer. Logically, a vice president should then also have the same immunity.
So I guess murdering the president to take their job simply has to be done while shouting "This is an official act of the office of the vice president!" as a battle cry.
They could have stopped at any time, but once their three day plan failed, putin decided to engage in a money-burning competition against a group of countries with a combined gdp roughly 25 times theirs..
PSA TO NCD USERS
Thanks!
And I know. But I'm lazy.

Registered neidu3 there, but I'm not giving you my email address. Any chance you could activate my account manually?
PSA TO NCD USERS
Very marketable, but not from a corporate standpoint. I love it. I think you'll be seeing neidu3 registering soon.
Not sure honestly. It may have been the year before. Or even earlier. Or maybe I'm just slow at noticing popular media trends. As you can see, I'm doing great at growing old.
Sorry, I can't think of a good title for yhis post. I just wanted to share an anecdote.
So, I was having a phone conversation with my boss yesterday. The topic was a clustered filesystem that can hold huge amounts of data, and how we would best allow local users to access this data without yhe storage cluster becoming overloaded (because of various reasons, the I/O is relatively slow. This was built for quantity, not speed).
Rights now there's an SMB share, and we're looking at replacing that so that we can have better control over the data throughput. My suggestion is to simply spin up an FTP server.
Then my boss asks: "I'm just curious, but would rsync or NFS work as a protocol instead?"
Well, it's a valid question, so the only thing I could do was reply with the honest answer as to why I chose FTP. Paraphrased and translated:
"Because some 20 years ago my then username carried a lot of recognition in certain communities revolving around software and media distribution, whose rights holders would not necessarily approve of said distribution. We used FTP, becau
What are the implications of running a laptop via the battery connector instead of the DC jack?
Long story short, my laptops DC input is no longer working. Yes, I've tested every aspect of the power supply. I even measured the motherboard input voltage, and it is being properly fed. I suspect a faulty DC-DC converter.
So, I had this idea of removing the battery permanently, and instead emulating it with a power supply with matching voltage. I don't really need the battery anyway (I mostly use a laptop for the form factor).
In theory, the laptop will then think it's running off of battery power. Permanently. Are there any consequences in terms of performance that could arise from this? Of course, the power settings will need to be adjusted, but beyond that I'm wondering if there's a hardware aspect that I cannot control.
Which adjective should come first, modular or versatile?
Native English speakers... I hear the order of adjectives is important, and getting this wrong is jarring to read.
I'm making a pitch to upper management about building a "modular and versatile thingamawidget". Or is it "versatile and modular thingamawidget"?
If it doesn't matter, I think I'll go for the latter, as it abbreviates to something easily pronouncable without sounding like a paramilitary group or a ride sharing business.
Why is my ethernet not showing up in ifconfig?
I have a Dell Latitude 5420 laptop with LMDE, running kernel 6.1.0-12. This laptop has a builtin I219-LM ethernet controller that I can see via lspci. Some research indicates that this needs the e1000e kernel module, so I grabbed it from Intel, compiled it, and installed it. There were some complaints during the compilation, but nothing more than the average compilation process. Plus, it shows up in lsmod. Afterwards, lspci -vv displays it with the e1000e driver:

Which consumer grade printer should I buy?
Title, basically. My old torture device needs to be replaced, and while it's been mostly working OK, printers have no excuse for being as shitty as they are. So therefore I am looking for suggestions.
Specs:
- Must include a flatbed scanner
- prints in color
- Wifi connection preferred
- No PaaS or IaaS bullshit
- No driver weirdness. I'm going to use it on linux.
- Available "anywhere".
- Ability to sit powered and connected in my HarryPotteresque "server room" under the stairs for ages, unattended, and work without hazzle when I send it the bimonthly print job.
I know the geek community likes Brother. Any particular model?
For reference, this new printer will replace my aging Canon Pixma 4250.
What's a good open source IMAP client for android?
Turns out Outlook sucks ass for anything not part of an office365 subscription, so I'm looking for something else. Preferably open source, preferably available via F-Droid.
What's a good drum synth VST nowadays?
I'm mainly looking for a decent drum kit synth for rock and metal music. Once upon a time I used a pirated version of Drumkit from Hell, and I really liked it, but that was over 15 years ago, and now tgat I'm not broke as a bum anymore I'm interested in hearing some recommendations.

Don't bother promoting IPv6 as "the future". It's never going to be the default.
Basically what the title says. Here's the thing: address exhaustion is a solved problem. NAT already took care of this via RFC 1631. While initially presented as a temporary fix, anyone who thinks it's going anywhere at this point is simply wrong. Something might replace IPv4 as the default at some point, but it's not going to be IPv6.
And then there are the downsides of IPv6:
- Not all legacy equipment likes IPv6. Yes, there's a lot of it out there.
- "Nobody" remembers an IPv6 address. I know my IPv4 address, and I'm sure many others do too. Do you know your IPv6 address, though?
- Everything already supports IPv4
- For IPv6 to fully replace IPv4, practically everything needs to move over. De facto standards don't change very easily. There's a reason why QWERTY keyboards, ASCII character tables, and E-mail are still around, despite alternatives technically being "better".
- Dealing with dual network stacks in the interim is annoying.
Sure, IPv6 is nice and all. But as an add

Which microsoft certification would be the most useful for me when I am primarily not a Microsoft guy?
So, my employer suggested that it would be good for me, professionally, to get my certifications up to speed, and told me to pick a few that I found the most relevant at their expense. As I mainly deal with networks and Linux servers, and have done so for decades at this point, this was easy enough: renewing my CCNA that I took some 20 years ago, as well as getting my CCNP. The latter of which is closely related to what I already do.
However, my employer decided that I must pursue at least one Microsoft certification, and I honestly don't know where to start, as the only microsoft software I use is Outlook.
I've been thinking of my status as the walking embodiment of the "old man yells at cloud"-meme, and thinking it's probably time to turn into "old man embraces cloud". I know that a lot of our infrastructure runs in azure (something with which I have no experience. I did use some Oracle cloud VMs at one point, that's it.), and I know there was a huge ordeal last year that involve
Which vendor makes decent work laptops nowadays?
12 Years ago I had a Sony Vaio. I quite liked it. Then in my next job, 2017 or so, I went for a Toshiba Portege, and absolutely loved it.
Guess what the above two have in common? Yup, they stopped making laptops for the professional market. So now I'm a bit at a loss. Any recommendations?
Requirements:
- Lightweight and easy to carry around.
- 13-15" display, preferably
- Decent battery life
- It absolutely must have an RJ45
- Works well with linux
- Good keyboard quality
- ISO keyboard availability
- Touchpad. Bonus points if it has the touchpad buttons ABOVE the pad itself.
