Idk about 10x but I know I get my podcasts at 2x speed. 1x makes it sound like they're not on enough cocaine.

User enumeration seems to be the biggest hazard of running a server. I'd be curious to see a fingerd that lets you set a different name than your actual username, to avoid just spitting out names that an attacker can then set to work o

This looks almost as cool as what we were promised in the late 90s on Discovery Channel's "Beyond 2000." Except that instead of a small hard handheld device, it was something flexible, and more the size of an actual newspaper

Not everyone needs to work. Some people have enough in savings to cover their expenses. Other people have benefactors (most notably, parents). And others live off of property that was stolen by violent gangs (aka taxes) and provided to them

It's almost like impoverishing everyone by debasing their currency to fight foreign wars for a century has had some knock on effects to public health.

I think it's worth recognizing the impact that Gin had on 18th and 19th century England. It was at least akin to the meth epidemic across large parts of the US 15-20 years ago. Not saying we don't have alcoholism now, but the scop

Underrated take. Nothing ever stopped a sufficiently skilled pencil artist from sketching someone in the nude without their permission. People have been making fake nude photos since the 90's with Photoshop and related software. Is it

Seems like a good idea. Who ever heard of a kid getting ahold of a beer?

by cykros 2mo ago
Kids can't bypass it because the systems they're trying to access are entirely different than they were in 1995. They are not accessing "the Internet" on which they connect to their friend's BBS's, irc servers,

The UX would have to be carefully thought out. But something like setting a "don't bother me" threshold, an overall budget, and an amount that you would like to be asked for explicit permission before accessing would go a lon

I'm sort of surprised it's not mirrored there, but not surprised that it's main hosting isn't there. It sort of works best if people find it. Nostr purity spirals have a great way of resulting in 5 people ever seeing wha

I fire it up any time I'm in a crowded area just to see. I do wish it had vicinity based chat rather than the geohashes though, which always make it hard to select which level of granularity you want (this is referring to Internet base

They have at least added mesh wifi, but yes, the adoption pick up has been fairly slow except in do or die protest scenarios. It is handy if you're on a plane with someone but your seats are separated because you didn't want to pa

Wow -- that's a combination I only remember people being highly cautioned against at least for recreational use.

Just buy poppy seeds in bulk and make a tea. They wash 'em, but not enough to get all of the opium off the outside. Okay but really maybe don't do this unless you're gonna be careful because I actually have known a guy who en

Add yet another benefit to NAC. Also works wonders for COVID spike protein detox.

Most intentional overdose suicides are hoping to drift off to sleep and not wake up. That is NOT what happens with an acetaminophen overdose. It'd be like intentionally eating death cap mushrooms.

Fentanyl isn't all that unsafe, aside from the habituation potential. When your measurement is "that looks about right" when purity is entirely unknown, not much really is all that safe.

Everyone's ability to metabolize drugs being different has a lot to do with why the labels end up advising less than is effective for many people. Dextromethorphan surely is NOT ineffective, but at 2 tsp, yea, it aint gonna do much of

"Most studies have found that dextromethorphan performs the same as a placebo and some suggested it was worse than honey." Something tells me this is because they're using it at the dosages listed. Because let me tell you, it

The best thing that happened for multiplayer games is that kids came along that agreed that they didn't need developers to actually create games when all they really wanted was graphics and physics so they could be responsible both for

More like Debian (and derivatives) on older hardware. No thanks. Slackware's running just fine on this system I've got with 15 year old DDR3 RAM without needing an article about it. It's not always thrilled with the fact that

If I haven't chatted with a CEO or other builder in a week I've probably not spent a ton of time online. Obviously different people have different time and attention; they don't all get back to you. But it really doesn't

I'm not sure I really consider SQL a programming language though. Certainly doesn't seem fair to compare it to anything turing complete (at least, unless you're going to lump in extensions such as PL/SQL or T-SQL. Doesn&

Does this mean my 15 year old Phenom is too old? But it has 16 gb of DDR3 RAM! Admittedly web browsers and it don't get along that well. Literally the only thing that drags though on my Slackware 15 system, and even then usually only w
