You're forgetting about security updates, which would also be blocked. It's definitely more of a problem if the whole of Mozilla gets blocked than some plugins that have workarounds and alternatives.

If Russia blocks security updates, that's worse for Russian users than having to go to GitHub to install a plugin.

I know how federation works, but look at the network inspector and you'll see you're pulling a lot of images from Cloudflare-proxied sites (or you're missing a lot, if you've blacklisted them).

Anyway, I only meant that even Lemmy, with its anti-corporate culture, is still heavily using Cloudflare. "Only" 22% is still a lot in my book.

I'm interested as to your motives - are you doing this as a boycott, and/or to protect your privacy (or similar)? Also, are you blocking domains one-by-one, or are doing something like using firewall rules?

If you're blocking everything that's proxied via Cloudflare or hosted on Google, the internet must be a very small place for you. I think even a third of Lemmy is behind Cloudflare.

I was thinking earlier when it lost the signal but those cameras were amazingly resilient - even when the lens got ruined by the fin smoke we got to see more when it cracked and could see the sparks through the holes.

The article uses the word modified, but it sounds like it's just talking about configuring it and using it as normal.

Yeah that was odd - at other points the video cut out but the other telemetry was coming through so if the video was running I'd expect everything else to too.

Wow, that's even more impressive then - they added a defect and a different problem occurred and it still landed. I caught some of the stream and heard the SpaceX audience's reaction to that fin burning away - I thought they sounded more excited than worried.

I know they purposely left off some heat tiles to test that eventuality - was the flap where they did that? I guess so, given the number of cameras pointing at it.

One place I worked had a small park, so sometimes I'd go for a lap or two to think something through - the fresh air, mild exercise, change of scenery and lack of distractions wroked wonders.

@Yondoza@sh.itjust.works this is good advice

I'd assumed it was servers running on renewable power, although I'm not sure how they measure that. I know some hosting companies and CDNs have that as an option, but I don't see how you'd know if each server chose that option so I guess it's more like "servers with green hosting companies".

Don't downvote stuff just because you're not interested in it! There's no algorithm you're training, you're just being rude to people.

Downvotes should be for worthless content and people being dicks.

Ah, so nothing to do with incels harassing women. Do incels have a queen?

It's interesting that the author and most others went with 403, when 426 seems to be the most appropriate.

Neither are perfect matches, since 403 is about authentication and 426 is for Upgrade semantics (i.e. the upgrade is over the same transport protocol, not switching from http to https). npm isn't sending an Upgrade header, which is required, but I think if it sent Upgrade: TLS/1.0, HTTP/1.1 then that would be claiming they supported TLS on port 80 (STARTTLS style) - possible but unconventional.

At the same time, Penick had people rate what they thought the ant smelled like. Most people said blue cheese, but some thought it smelled like rotted coconut. So Penick rotted a coconut in his backyard and found a mold growing on it that, sure enough, is the same mold (Penicillium roqueforti) that's used to produce blue cheese. Another mystery, solved.

So American house ants, rotten coconuts and blue cheese all smell the same. Life is weird.

I haven't used atuin yet, but I believe the histories from other machines is more like accessible than mixed - you don't just hit ↑ on machine1 and see machine2 commands.

A fun article, and I really like the idea of pataphysics. I've klnown of SCP for a long time but I've never delved into it - it seems more bottomless than TVTropes, and I've spent/wasted enough time there already!

Absolutely, that's what I was thinking of when I wrote "tedious"; all the stuff you mentioned matters a lot to the user (or product owner) but isn't the interesting stuff for a programmer.

I was referring to this trivia:

Picard's scene with Guinan was not in the original script. Melinda M. Snodgrass was told that they needed a "Ten-Forward" scene to accommodate Whoopi Goldberg coming in that week.

I took it as true, although I had a quick go at finding where this claim came from and am drawing a blank
