Of course! It's a can not a can't.

Can an OS be bricked?:

A brick (or bricked device) is a mobile device, game console, router, computer or other electronic device that is no longer functional due to corrupted firmware, a hardware problem, or other damage.[1] The term analogizes the device to a brick's modern technological usefulness.[2]

Edit: you may click the tiny down arrow if you think it can't. ;)

It's not blank anymore, whether it was on porpoise or not.

Which Page?

lots of dom modifications

That's good to know. These modifications are needed to replace the style sheet details, I guess?

passes around far too much data between processes.

What does this mean? Do you have a link where I could read up on the details? Thanks.

Maybe. Does it make a big performance difference which css (dark reader or delivered by wiki) is used?

Is it known how the default to dark mode setting is persisted if let's say a plugin removed all the Wikipedia cookies on window close? A get or post parameter?

Either way it's a good thing that wiki offers a dark mode.

Dark Reader Plugin already solved that issue.

Elefants have them too!

I'm sure there is an exception for creatures made from fabric and foam, somewhere.

As an alternative: when the table is set with Bowie Knife and gun, the gun goes to the left.

What is Dolphin? Dolphin is a GameCube and Wii emulator with high compatibility across the majority of titles for both platforms. It was first developed as closed source in 2003, and as open source since 2008.

I had to look it up.

Yolocopter ;)

Flying taxis

Mars does not have a strong magnetic field like Earth does, so solar winds can strip away bits of the atmosphere.

I wanted to say the same. And furthermore I wanted to add that it's beside the point of the comic. But I still wanted to say it.

I like your pitch black humour.

He could ask for clarification and discuss word definitions if the situation indicates a misunderstanding.

Thanks. I thought it was about counting. It all makes a lot more sense now. (And it also doesn't.)

How?

Yes, if you push the circles down a bit, it forms a 7 by 7 matrix. But if pushing the circles into a square matrix is not allowed: how?

Edit: I get it now. It is about (efficient) packing not about counting. I also get the 4th panel now...

One aspect is how interesting you are as a target. What would a possible attacker gain by getting access to your services or hosts?

The danger to get hacked is there but you are not Microsoft, amazon or PayPal. Expect login attempts and port scans from actors who map out the internets. But I doubt someone would spend much effort to break into your hosts if you do not make it easy (like scripted automatic exploits and known passwords login attempts easy) .

DDOS protection isn't something a tiny self hosted instance would need (at least in my experience).

Firewall your hosts, maybe use a reverse proxy and only expose the necessary services. Use secure passwords (different for each service), add fail2ban or the like if you're paranoid. Maybe look into MFA. Use a DMZ (yes, VLANs could be involved here). Keep your software updated so that exploits don't work. Have backups if something breaks or gets broken.

In my experience the biggest danger to my services is my laziness. It takes steady low level effort to keep the instances updated and running. (Yes there are automated update mechanisms - unattended upgrades i.e. -, but also downwards compatibility breaking changes in the software which will require manual interactions by me.)

horse for my bed

Godfather says: be careful what you wish for.

In my opinion it is its limited suitability for (my) common image editing needs. I.e. add a white text with black border to an image.

But these are my requirements. The developers don't have to cater to them if they don't want to. I in turn can decide to not use the program or add the features I would like to see myself (It's the former for me).

That is the way it is.

Edit: The name gimp was never an issue for me. There are far worse.
