  • The power required to do it is impressive to say the least.

    That's not how the attack worked. He didn't drown out the tower. He simply overrode the the studio-to-transmitter link signal. The studios used microwave line-of-sight transmitters to communicate a signal from the studio to the tower. All the attacker had to do was override that signal. That signal was 50W max. You could override it with maybe 200W as long as you were also in line-of-sight of the microwave receiver. Probably less since some microwave trasmitters were as weak as 1W. They don't need to be strong since they are line-of-sight directional transmitters. So, that's not particularly impressive.

  • I just went to look for it, and found there's a fork called NotallyX. It's "extended", whatever that means.

    https://github.com/PhilKes/NotallyX

    It, too, is on FDroid.

    It does seem to have a more features, and otherwise looks very similar. For instance, you can export individual notes to various file formats. Text, pdf, and more.

    Notally itself just crashed the very first time I tried adding an image to a note and then deleted that image.

  • Alright, I at least trippled the gochujang, used about 1.5 times the oyster sauce, and also added extra corn starch in the end. I used almost a full cup of pasta water, a bit at a time, while the spaghetti was cooking and the sauce was simmering. In the end it was quite saucy.

    I didn't measure the gochujang at all. I used an absolutely heaping dinner spoon, and when it still wasn't red enough, I added another half spoon later. I estimate it was 3-4 measuring tablespoons. You should definitely up the amount in your printed recipe. 1 tbsp definitely isn't enough. It still wasn't really spicy at all, and I didn't add any additional spice this time.

    I should have added some fish sauce, too. I just ate this bowl without any fish sauce, and I really think it needs it. (I added the mountain of furikake after this photo was taken. I do love the stuff. 😅)

    Before I eat the leftovers, I am going to make some prik nam pla to add a real kick and some brightness. That will also add the fish sauce I think it needs.

    Thanks again the for the recipe!

    • Hail is large of pellets during a thunderstorm and happens in warm weather.
    • Sleet is small ice droplets during winter. Basically rain that froze before hitting the ground.
    • Freezing rain is just rain which is falling when it's below freezing out and freezes onto things. It's very dangerous.

    "Ice rain" is ambiguous and I've never heard it before yesterday. It sounds more like it would mean sleet.

  • It was definitely saucy. It had a nice creamy texture. The pic doesn't really show that. My dark soy sauce is really dark and covered all the redness, but I will definitely try more gochujang next time.

    Oh, that spicy buldak is too much for me. I've tried the 1x and the 2x hot chicken flavors just to torture myself. It's too much!

  • That tasted really good. Thanks! Super easy to make, too. I ended up adding a little fish sauce in the bowl. It needed a little something. I wish I had had some prik nam pla made up. Added some sambal olek on top, too. The tablespoon of gochujang definitely wasn't enough. Next time I'll double it!

  • When google started to index paywalled things…

    Google has (had?) a rule. If a site lets them index their paywalled content, then the site must deliver the full content if the referrer is google.com or else they will de-index the site. So when clicking a link on google, the full article should appear. It was an old trick to just google the article title to find a link and click through to read a paywalled article.

    Is that policy gone now?

  • It reads like someone trying to sound smart, but failing. I've used ChatGPT to explain abstracts of scientific papers, and it never sounds like this. This was written by a human.

    ChatGPT is actually rather critical of the article:

    It’s definitely well-written and poetic, but it does seem heavy on grandiose language that might obscure the actual scientific content. The core idea—reformulating the Bekenstein bound using a toroidal structure and relating it to entropy, quantum mechanics, and cosmology—is intriguing, but the argumentation is somewhat buried under metaphorical and philosophical flourishes.

    If the goal is to make a technical argument, it could benefit from a clearer, more structured explanation of the key mathematical and physical insights. Right now, it reads more like a mix of scientific exposition and philosophical reflection, which makes it engaging but also somewhat vague.

    What exactly changes in the equations? How does this solve the cosmological constant problem? These aspects should be spelled out more clearly.

  • Testing automation:

    https://www.chase.com/

    https://github.com/LinkSheet/nightly

    Well, that's not very useful. The "open" automation option just opens the URL in the top item in the dropdown, which for chase.com turns out to be the ticket master app...? That's just one example, but the behavior is just not predictable. There doesn't seem to be a way to use a particular browser to open the specified URL.
