Just so you know, Lemmy has an option in every person's account to hide posts and comments from bot accounts ("bot" in this context meaning accounts that have voluntarily tagged themselves as bots, which is the case for the one you replied to.)

I mean, even if they did, this isn't an emergency since they're not in any danger. The station is still working fine, they have plenty of supplies, etc.

Aw shit, it says this is supposed to detect when an app's binary has been tampered with... That means it's probably gonna be used to block stuff like ReVanced. I hope they can find a way around this that doesn't require root.

I've been running PiHole for awhile, in short it's your own DNS server that's configured to block DNS requests to known advertising domains. So when you load a website and it sends a DNS request to PopularAdvertisingCompany.com to load an ad, PiHole blocks the request so the ad can't be loaded. It's useful for devices that you can't put an ad blocker on, like iPhones and smart TVs and such, but can't block stuff like YouTube ads cause they come from the same domain as the videos themselves.

It also has bonus features like DNS caching which can speed up web browsing.

Any router from a mainstream brand is likely fine, just don't enable any of their "cloud" BS and don't use their smartphone app. I've had good luck with Asus, they have an app but you don't have to use it at all.

For security, try to enable WPA3 on your Wi-Fi networks, otherwise WPA2 is probably fine unless you're being targeted by a government-sponsored hacking operation. Choose a long password for your network.

Once you get it up and running, then worry about DNS and PiHole and VPNs and all that. Don't get in over your head.

Ha, I just came here to post this! It's seriously cool, and the Navajo's history in the semiconductor industry is something I never knew about.

I would love a rug like that.

"You get Matryoshka! And you get Matryoshka!"

This is such an incredibly dumb idea. If this "storage method" was to gain any traction, Google would figure out how to shut it down, either by banning accounts (removing all your data) or worse, instituting a policy of removing videos that don't reach a certain view threshold. Not to mention, encoding data this way is inefficient as hell.

Just pay a few dollars for reliable storage, whether from Google or Proton or whoever you like.

It's pretty hard though. Without mass, everything travels at the speed of light and doesn't experience the flow of time, which don't really mesh well with classical physics (or quantum mechanics, and definitely not relativity).

Yup. It was funny how during the 2020 election cycle they briefly had to change all their merch to say "keep America great" despite continuing to use the MAGA slogan throughout most of Trump's administration. By their logic, America was only "great" during the first part of 2020, which is.... questionable, to say the least, since almost nothing was "great" during that time.

Wow, military spending went up when a major world power invaded a sovereign nation? I'm sure this is all Biden's fault.

Even then, anyone can use inspect element to make it look like it says whatever you want.

Funny enough, a number of years ago a giant 4chan archive surfaced which included a lot of the very first SCP posts that had been lost. It actually confirmed that 173 was posted after Blink aired, meaning it was almost certainly inspired by the episode. Not that it makes the SCP worse, but it's some interesting lore.

Perhaps, but Nintendo also seems happy to let people forget that the Wii U ever existed. Also, they seem to not care as much about non-piracy/CFW releated hardware mods- take the 3DS capture card as an example, AFAIK it was never targeted by Nintendo since it very clearly was not meant to facilitate piracy.

They don't really need to associate it with a specific person (although I'm sure they'd love to)- they can get plenty of data just within the context of what a single person buys in their store.

Funny enough, I don't think Wario and Waluigi are ever said to be siblings. Waluigi just kinda... showed up to a tennis match one day and then stuck around.

The funny thing is that standard human operating temperature is much closer to the coldest you can get than to the hottest. Absolute zero, when all thermal motion stops and it's literally impossible to get any colder by definition, is only -273.15°C. We can reach it fairly easily, and we know that weird stuff does happen at low temperatures such as Bose-Einstein Condensates, but the universe really can't cool a few orders of magnitude- there isn't that much more cooling for it to do.

Basically the scheme from Office Space

That's true, but this is also ensuring that people can vet whatever they get out of an AI and make sure it isn't just hallucinated garbage

One thing to keep in mind: if someone gave you a 5.25" floppy disk with this type of data on it, even if the data was perfectly readable, would you have any way to do it? You'd need to hunt down someone whos into retro technology and hope you can figure out how to decode the information. The format itself became obsolete, so even if the data would theoretically be accessible, the means to access said data may not be.

Point is, what are the chances that CD drives will be around in hundreds of years outside of a museum or personal collection? They're already becoming more and more uncommon after only a couple decades. But there really isn't a great solution to this, especially when it comes to video, because you can't just print it out.

Side note, are you sure that CD Golds are more durable than M-Disk?
