It looks decent on my 1920x1080p window running on a 4K monitor, but I have overlapping problems on my M1 Macbook.

> So you have a fear of rejection? Well, may be true for some people. For me, it is a matter of wasting my time when I have other things I could accomplish.

The big one is the fact that you will likely be ignored by a large host of them. Even with modern spam filters, a lot of unsolicited messages are simply a waste of packets. Odds are, even your useful, inquisitive message will be buried unde

Assuming that we recover from the damage being done now. As one example, a friend of mine has remarked that large corporations will benefit from the current AI-induced reality of no one being able to afford their own hardware, and keep pric

Mr. Enger echos a lot of thoughts that I (and a lot of people on these forums) seem to have. We can still make an attempt to remake what we love, with personal websites and self-hosting. However modern architecture kills even that with DDoS

It is a way to block bots, similarly to Cloudflare or Google's captcha. The Arch Linux website uses it.

Or "you, but three years from now" in some cases. Logging my random OS changes or what were at the time "one-time shell scripts" in my journal has proven invaluable in some cases.

Well, I seem to have been spared, purely because I have not turned on one of my laptops in a week. Like a few people here, I should probably be rethinking how I use the AUR.

I like JavaScript-light websites just as much as anyone (my own website works on the same principle). However, I do wonder how much of the increased traffic has to do with AI agents that now have an easier time working with the more standar

Ecclesiastes is an interesting one. It goes chapter by chapter, trying to find meaning in life through process of elimination, trying education, hedonism, labor, and wealth. While some things (usually wisdom) bring about more joy in the int

I am just hoping that the cost will eventually go down in a few years, and we will be able to start homelabbing again. My server drives are not going to last forever...

Sometimes I wonder if we should consider using some sort of a hardware key going forward, like a Yubikey or similar product. Physical devices are fairly easy to understand, and a simple on-device PIN or fingerprint-reader adds a 2FA that pr

Counterpoint: all of these things are built right into the user's browser, and browser vendors independently work to avoid attacks across the userbase without any intervention from web designers. In fact, if the browser itself is compr

It depends. A lot of websites refuse to display some stuff without JavaScript, and of course online payments insist on JavaScript (to the point that trying to push through without it can result in strange errors and potential double-charges

I will be replacing the Raspberry Pi 4 I use as a home server with a more powerful HP desktop. I am getting tired of DDOSing myself whenever I open the wrong menu on Nextcloud.

Ideally, we as a society would eventually figure out and solve what drives so many people to suicide in the first place. However, it is heartening to know that this band-aid measure does seem to be effective (assuming that you trust the exp

Functionally, it is very similar to Flatpak. The main reason people do not like it (for reasons independent of sandboxed applications in general) is that Canonical controls the store and that it is not open-sourced, and that it is very diff

This usually happens when you do non-standard things like try to change the desktop environment and then update to a new major version. If you pick a distro that is already close to what you need in the first place, this should not be as mu

This, exactly. I tend to run into a lot of problems, but that is mostly because I tend to tinker with it in non-standard ways (hard to be surprised about your computer no longer booting when you intentionally tried to change the encryption

It depends on the density of the information and general complexity of the sentences and ideas. This exercise kept the ideas rather simple, but an old Dickens novel or a complex text-book would be much harder.

Another advantage of text over the long-term: it is accessible for discussion. Let us say that you want to analyze, say, drinking culture in Ireland. You could write documentary on it, or do a fictional character study. However, those requi

Another Emacs user here. I would argue that even Emacs is a bit of a struggle sometimes. More modern editors like Sublime Text, Kate, or even Notepad have an advantage of being intuitive. Typing on a letter always outputs that exact letter.

I am not sure where you found this, but I would agree that GitHub is very useful, for code backup and for sharing with the world.

Considering that OpenAI is having trouble getting its models to avoid recommending suicide (something it probably does not want for ANY user), I rather doubt this age prediction is going to be that helpful for curbing the tool's behavi
