  • I forgot the name, was on a 8086 machine. You controlled a little diamond shaped character and have to squish enemies shaped like the letter H (on higher levels with double outlines) between moveable and immovable blocks. Later they also lay eggs that would hatch faster and faster.

  • I've had it for about a year now and it's just plain awesome. I use it every day.

  • but what does “control” the IP mean

    I believe that means you must be registered as the owner with the RIPE or whichever authority is in charge of administrating IP ranges, so that would also negate the point of chaining IP addresses, since that would indeed be a permanent fixture.

    For AWS it should then only work if Amazon Inc. is the applicant for the SSL cert., not merely a user. So it's a quite theoretical application at best.

  • Fully agree, I've got the reMarkable 2 and it lasts for a week, easily. And the functionality is unparalleled.

  • I absolutely and utterly swear by my reMarkable 2.

    Large enough to display pdf's without having to scale down (which always messes up the page readability), can take notes right on the pages, even in multiple layers if I want, can draw on top, include overlays, export my notes as text or even save them within the pdf itself, etc. etc. etc.

  • Sometimes I feel like going full on kilt, but those things are quite thick, all things considered. Might help to aerate the crown jewels, but I'm not too sure if the overall experience wouldn't still be on the warm side.

  • Works for me. Maybe you've cached a copy where the dns or loadbalancer are pointing to a problematic IP? Try clearing your browser cache or or opening it in a private window to double check.

  • Coldest was -44°C when I was working as a northern lights guide in Norway. We'd always take our tour groups to areas with a high likelihood of polar activity, and once the whole coast was widely overcast so that we had to drive almost to the Finnish border. Camped out along the road towards Kilpisjärvi coming from Skibotn (company was based in Tromso).

    Hottest was +45°C in Lagos, Nigeria. Used to work there as well for a good while.

  • Agree. When my DVD player back in 2000 came with a bright blue power-on LED, that crap started to bother me. Sitting right under the TV, so watching anything in a darkened room means I had that fucker blinding me all the time. Nothing a little duct tape can't fix, but that's not exactly helping.

    Ever since I've been actively avoiding devices where I can't dim & disable the LEDs.

  • I personally don't. They are flimsy, the technology very error prone, and I have absolutely no need for a display of that size.

  • Nothing, that's utterly distracting.

  • I'm always using a vpn for the sake of living in China, not particularly fediverse related. I simply don't share anything I'm not comfortable everybody knowing regardless, just like we were told in the early days of the internet.

  • Unclear career progression, benefits might lead to STDs and acute lead poisoning. Not for the faint of heart.

  • Illegal where I'm at. That would irritate me to no end.

    Tbh though I've quit radio shows for the most part, it's easily 30-40% commercials now. Can't be bothered with that annoyance, I'll rather stream some music or podcasts.

  • ELAs are not enforceable in a federated world. Once the data is copied to another instance, it falls under their domain. And in turn their admins would have to make sure their users accepted the ELA before interacting with the content mirrored from lemmy.world, and so forth. That would be the death of federated networks.

    Consider all your content to be public domain by default, including private messages, because admins can access those in unencrypted form.

  • Yep, same. The only thing bothering me right now is that I keep those "oops, there's nothing here" timeout message when opening comments to reply, and then a second later they load anyway. Might just change the timeout sensitivity. But that's really complaining on a high level.

  • Yeah I saw the list posted somewhere, had a chuckle, and went on my merry way. There's a reason this kraken of an app is banned in the EU.

    A somewhat tech savvy user can probably use App Ops and Storage Isolation to restrict all of the data and spoof the rest, but luckily I don't even feel tempted. Never got the appeal of Twitter, can't be bothered to even try Mastodon, and Threads, just no.

  • There are viruses in pdfs, but epub doesn't have an executive layer. So that's highly unlikely. And even if you had read any infected pdfs, I'm not aware of any virus that's able to wreck hardware.

    Could probably mess with the firmware, but nothing a factory reset shouldn't fix.
