Do any of the sites he browses use cloudflare for DDoS protection? Does it use recaptcha to verify that he's human? Do the sites he browses have servers that are housed in a beligerent nation state? Did he use dns servers in a beligere

This movie is absurdly good. And it seemed to leave a lasting mark for a while too. I love how the drug dealer in W&I got to play the same character and tell the same m&m's story in Wayne's World 2. "... and I beat th

Yeah, it has been a reckoning. I’ve never seen liberal boomers and gen x-ers get so organized. I’ve only known the opposite in my lifetime. It’s been great to see and I’m here for it. Keep this up and you’ll turn the hosts of The View into

Wow neat! The first step to format ambivalence! Curious to see how well does this perform on the edge, our overhead is always so scarce! Amazing work as always, looking forward to taking this for a spin!

AFAIK the M3 is going to take a lot longer as the asahi team leverages apple silicon in their CI which means mac mini servers and the M3 generation never got their mac mini. Of all the generations to finally take the plunge into apple silic

Oh no! I didn't know their IPFS initiative didn't pan out. What happened to it? I am surprised how hard it is to google. I remember interviewing for a role on that team at the archive to help move it to filecoin. Was so happy to h

How the hell is True North even on here??! They are an Alex Jones-level conservative crisis actor resource that doesn't have the best track record of being accurate. Is there a better link out there? Flagging this post in the meantime.
