MacOS being a bad example here since Apple only needs to make its OS work on a very small set of hardware that they control wheras Linux (and Windows, yes) need to work on probably hundreds of thousand if not millions of devices (including Macs 👌) with at least the same amount of peripherals combined in almost any imaginable way. That's a completely different task.

There's a FoodCrimes community here somewhere, this would be a perfect fit ...

Didn't he start his "career" with showing a hack on how to get free dial-up internet on German TV for fame and thereby ruining it for everyone because obviously the telco "fixed" the hack after that?

Did 404 come out of nowhere or have I been sleeping on them?

If you're into selfhosting (this is datahoarder after all) I recently got around to backing up my fav channels with

and it's very good indeed.

Nitter still exists? Finally some good news!

I've been using https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn for years without issue because I could get my weird VPN to work with it (though the latest release seems to be from 12/2023 ...)

This sounds like a job for https://what-if.xkcd.com/

Is there enough obsidian on this planet? Would its weight crush the earth's crust? How would we construct it?
