This is the bread and butter for commercial VPN services. The VPN knows who you are (maybe, unless you pay crypto/cash), and the rights-holders know your VPN address (from joining/logging a BitTorrent swarm, for instance), but th

Yeah, I really have no idea what's going on here. Maybe I too could burn some tokens to have claude explain it to me, but I won't.

Right, I'm not a fan of the ID check or identity/age verification. I'm just trying to understand the conspiracy theory kind of idea that "they're trying to get all our IDs!!!1!!" sentiment.

Sure, but this "invention" isn't new. It seems to make the internet rounds every few months. Here's one from 11 years ago that looks almost identical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPVQMZ4ikvM - I wo

Whose cause? I think the government already has our IDs, given that they issued them.

We have a local thrift store that sorts and stores the cables very nicely. 95% of the time I can find exactly what I need right away. That doesn't mean I don't also have my big box of cables, but just offering an alternate strate

Not sure if this counts as 'modern', but I had the unfortunate experience of driving near Seneca Meadows[1] recently. I can't begin to describe the visceral level of horrendous stench that is perpetually downwind of this fac

I keep reading this about old.reddit.com and yet I keep using it without being logged in. It must be some kind of A/B testing or slow rollout? Or maybe it's regional?

Bitwarden has lost the plot. The most recent Windows update is so bad. It has way lower information density in the UI, more buttons to click for the same use, no longer puts focus on the search field by default (this one makes me irration

My understanding is that copyright of what's posted is retained by the poster. The Nitter C&D was around a ToS violation for scraping.

It's probably common enough to be an accepted meaning nowadays, like what's happened with "beg the question". I think the original meaning also lends itself very well to people believing the phrase is "tow the line

Is the presence of an unsubscribe link a useful signal? I presume that just marks your email address as active in the spammer's database.

On the other hand, it may be worth publicly and unambiguously stating a position even if unenforceable. This seems to be what most modern protest movements are based on. For instance, how many software repos "stand with Ukraine"

> toeing the line I'm not sure that phrase means what you intended to say here. From Wikipedia, [1]: "Toe the line" is an idiomatic expression meaning either to conform to a rule or standard, or to stand in formation alon

Deer ticks are hard to crush too. And I'd say typically closer to the size of a sesame than a poppy seed. I like to pinch them between the tips of two fingernails, but lighting them on fire is also an enjoyable way to end them.

I think those were release years. More like how we went from Windows 8 to 10. (I understand that the real reason here is either a) OSX went to version 10, so don't want to be behind, or b) many systems would pattern match on windows

Does seem like that could be an issue for RWX PVCs, unless those volumes can be mounted to multiple nodes. Depending on the workload, you might be better off using NFS.

I read his book Concrete Botany recently. It also mentions the deep mulch trick mentioned elsewhere in this thread. It's an easy read and a refreshing perspective.
