I duckduckgo'ed "nose gear collapse" earlier and it seems it may be an issue that's more common than expected? At least there were lots of images of airplanes with broken front wheels and the nose touching the floor.

No, I appreciate posts that call out actual AI usage that has not been disclosed properly. I often have trouble already detecting them, so hearing other people calling things out and point out why, this is very useful for me to update my kn

I'm also very hesitant to release any new works (code, artworks, etc.) to the public. I usually release code under the GPL or AGPL, but I don't think any of those choices are properly respected by the AI crawlers, and subsequent &

Well… I know plenty people in my circle affected by this. Just have a slightly outdated system you simply can't afford to update: it's way to easy to get cut off like this. IMHO, a rather systematic discrimination of poorer people

I can no longer access any website that's "protected" by Cloudflare. As soon a website enables that stuff… "Shoot, another one bites the dust." I wonder if the website owners realise at all how many actual users the

And so it starts… modern robot machinery wiping out all humans? And for now they make it look like random accidents? Sci-fi aside: We probably will see a slow but very steady increase of such events in the coming years with more unnecessary

"new", just means "new entries" (in no specific order), but "newest" suggest some sorting/ ranking. If it's the very same why would it need two different words? :) It's like people often confusi

I only have "new" here, and not "newest". Am I missing something?

The PI5 was a real downgrade for me with its lack of proper hardware h264 decoding as in the earlier versions (playing back h264 is my primary use case.) I will buy a PI6, if that comes back, else I stay with my reliable, and passively cool

It's not gmail accounts, but "services" (?) hosted on Google's cloud. Basically I see X.X.X.X.bc.googleusercontent.com addresses in the "Received" header fields, e.g. "22.185.141.34.bc.googleusercontent.co

I'm receiving daily about 20 to 30 spam mails from google servers. I'm sorting them into a separate SPAM folder for the "fun" of it. Who to contact? How to make Google stop? Where to report the abuse of their services? I

I have no idea which distro to choose actually. Too much choices and it's not clear why one should be better than the other. For some distros it feels more like it's one-man projects for bragging rights. It's also a bit hard

Sometimes it helps to test. Which I just did. :-) Actually the compiler (at least clang) warns about this: $ gcc -W -Wall test.c -o test test.c:8:7: warning: multiple unsequenced modifications to 'a' [-Wunsequenced]

That's a bit shameless, indeed. dnsmasq has served me well for like an eternity in multiple setups for different use cases. As all software it has bugs. And once located those get fixed. Its author is also easy to communicate with. Why

Bootstrapping a modern/ up-to-date C/C++ compiler works, getting an up-do-date Python onto the system works too. No such issues with either of those. But try the same with Go or Rust and you hit nasty roadblocks (in both cases the

To truly guarantee things you probably also would need an uncached read afterwards (to verify the data comes back properly from the device). Now that would kill any sort of performance, of course.

Dunno about Homebrew (haven't used that since many years for various reasons), but Apple is certainly pushing things in a way that makes 3rd party developers quickly abandon old systems too. That's true. At least lots of 3rd party

Go, similar to Rust, has a horrible ecosystem, IMHO. I want to like it, but they already broke backwards compatibility with older systems (try to get the Go compiler running on a slightly older OS X, f.ex.), and for a compiler that's a

I have to admit I don't think it's visually very appealing like that. It looks more like some sort of error/ glitch. Maybe my old Firefox does it weirdly?

It used to be possible to use GitHub via svn too (but I think they removed that feature a while ago.)

I use Subversion w/o a server too. You can have your repositories locally (file:///Path/to/repository). All my own (single man) projects are in local SVN repositories. For my use case git is just too much extra
