I've got probably a few thousand mp3s from there and other services (lots of eMusic samplers) that now have little to no context. Sorting through them lately, it's a tad depressing when I hear a really great song and can find almo

Have gone through the same thing. Actually banned my daughter from watching YouTube because she was focusing too much on watching strangers play video games instead of interacting with us (and sometimes even her friends). Things aren't

How do you define "entertainment value"? It's going to be different for different people. I enjoy video games, spend money on them, and have played some for a couple hundred hours I'm sure. But personally there's no

That brings back painful memories. 8+ years of dialing 9 to get an outside line and only 1 person had made that mistake (while trying to dial 411!) at a previous company. Then new management comes in and it happens twice in 2 days. Supposed

Correct. But the OP was stating that impeachment would never happen and pointing to what happened with Clinton. But impeachment is exactly what happened with Clinton. And the prediction does not state that he will be removed from office by

I'm a customer, but half the time I'm using your tutorials it's for home projects not my VPS. Really great job!

Is it really? Not being snarky here, but I joined diaspora early on and a year or so after the untimely death of the co-founder the project felt like it was going no where. 6 years later it feels like I never hear anything about it, and Act

Similar situation here. I'm wondering if this might be enough to stop me from trying my own Mastodon instance. Might be nice to not have to support even more platforms.

Haha The fact that my dad worked for IBM and was able to procure my first computer from an office closure pretty much guaranteed my platform of "choice" anyway.

I remember being at a computer show in the late 80s/early 90s as a teen. The kind of place that you went to see new tech showed off by major brands (IBM, Intel, and MS were there), but also to get good deals from vendors on components

I second @tinker@infosec.exchange. Followed on twitter and was glad when they showed up on Mastodon.

You could always set up a second account to dig more into another instance. I'm currently on octodon.social (largely because mastodon.social was full when I first joined), but I've been thinking of creating a personal instance to

Any reqs for a GPU? I have not gotten a handle on my photo archive/workflow since switching to Linux, but want to get familiar with DT.

I haven't had a chance to go through the new marketing stuff, but the original terminology of drip referred to the actions of the creators - not the payments. Albums and tracks released by labels were called "drips", not what

drip.com became drip.fm became drip.kickstarter.com. This service pre-dates the sites that now occupy drip.com and drip.fm.

Does sound work in Ubuntu on the x360? I bought one when it first came out, but there was an issue with the BIOS (from my recollection, Windows turned off the sounds but Ubuntu couldn't turn it back on) and had to return it. Very nice

You can use your own OpenVPN client.

by thomnottom 9y ago
That's not what was said. "Free VPNs are not to be trusted" does not imply "All paid VPNs can be trusted".

Are you honestly suggesting that not being able to control semi-autonomous bodily functions is a matter of personality traits?

From what I have read (I do not have the references handy), while they are called deer ticks the primary hosts/transport are mice.

It's funny, I never bothered much analyzing these photos but now that I have it's obvious how much the Gigapixel backs up the WaPo photos. And yet the parent seems to believe that pointing out optical perspective differences means

Of course I rotated it. And my point stands. The perspective is still different. The rows of people are countable, and looking at some of the further sections there is no way I would be able to count as many rows as at the other. There are

And that photo is from the opposite direction, focuses on a different part of the crowd, and in no way contradicts the smaller crowd shown in the other picture.

When I got my mortgage (c. 2006) I had an idea of what I could afford. I went to the bank hoping they would approve me for that much. Not even taking into account my wife's salary, they approved me for at least $100k more than that. Th

A friend of mine was confused as to how they continue to sell so well without the patents and I told him to try to build with MegaBlox. The knock offs are terrible and barely hold together. I can still build with 30+ year-old Lego pieces.

I visit multiple Lego stores on a regular basis. They all have pick a brick walls that are filled with standard bricks along with some specialty pieces. Next to that are usually a few shelves of Lego Classic and Lego Creator sets. I also wo
