I guess the advent of the affordable CD drive meant that win95 was where it was becoming more accessible. That and Internet connections becoming more mainstream.

Remember when games said things like: "requires a 2x cd rom drive"?

I think we've had this one before.

I love the term "AI slop". It really captures how I feel about a lot of AI generated content.

I looked into this recently.

There's a DNS challenge designed for this exact scenario called (from memory) DNS01, but it's more of a faff than I'm willing to get involved with.

Basically you push proof that you own the domain into a DNS record instead of to a file on a web server. It requires a DNS provider that has an API and a client that speaks that API.

It also leaks private DNS stuff into the public domain.

I'd love it if someone devised an easier way. Maybe there is an easier way?

There are still people who do not yet use SimpleX chat. It really is time to install SimpleX.chat

You only made me not want to install it.

Did I miss it, or did the article not tell you who it (supposedly) is?

I will ramp down my use of amazon prime

I use https://www.mythic-beasts.com/

I know. I just couldn't resist the allure of the dad pun.

Is Forth a 4GL?

Badum tish. (Sorry)

Jellyfin is the way

Recently they threatened to brick HP printers that use third-party cartridges if detected

Simple. Don't buy HP ever again.

This reminds me of my struggle with yoga.

Stretching: good. Magic energy: sigh...

Imagine... "I just love sitting through annoying unskippable ads so much! And I simply can't wait to see more ads still when I pause!"

Packet loss. Hur hur.

I thought that these personality tests had been debunked?

We had the myers briggs test back in the day, and I've heard on couple podcasts that these tests (including MB) are highly questionable.

As it happens, the latest maintenance phase podacst is about the MB test:

Not listened yet, but will.

On a related note, I host the Guardian to gopherspace here: gopher://theunixzoo.co.uk/1/the-guardian

Sadly that's what the human race does. It's nothing unique to nuclear power.

It still baffles me, for example, that with all this technology, we still generate all this rubbish which we then bury in the ground. And we all know it. We all buy things in disposable packaging. We are all complicit.

The care and maintenance stage is part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) decommissioning strategy and spans an 80+ year period. This waiting period allows for radiation levels within the reactor core to decline and helps to facilitate a smoother demolition process. Dungeness A is due to enter the care and maintenance phase in 2027. Demolition of reactor buildings and final site clearance is planned for 2088 to 2098

It's an amazing place. I visited last month. You can overlook the power station from a nearby lighthouse.

When reading about dungeness reactor i learned that even reactors that haven't melted down also take about a hundred years to decommission safely.

Another interesting stat I heard on a podcast is that the coal industry has proven much more deadly than the nuclear industry in terms of human lives lost.
