That was a wild ride. Well done 👏

Never knew about transparent web proxies. Neat. Do they play a part in commercial DDOS protection? I’m thinking of those please wait while we’re evaluating your request messages that you get on some sites. But also about any methods used to prove that you are human.
What’s the difference between run time program data and temporary files? Is /tmp
just for system level processes but not for user space?
This has some real draw the rest of the fucking owl vibes, well done.
Went to a local rock concert once. Had to go into the middle of the crowd to fetch a friend and alert him of something that had happened. The music was unbearably loud for me. Noticed that virtually everyone was wearing ear plugs.
Found it absurd. Why not lower the volume instead and have people forego the plugs? Less noise pollution in the local area too. After the concert was over I asked some participants about it. Everyone claimed they liked the loudness or that it was necessary somehow. My impression: they liked to keep up with the appearances of being hardcore, it being for tough folks. But they didn’t want the actual hearing damage.
This is true for serial killers in general though. Murders tend to be premeditated. If you are planning a murder you’ll look for ways to maximize your success and minimize the chance of getting caught. In modern times you don’t have to rely on pure strength; there’s a plethora of workarounds from drugs to guns. The actual desire to end a human life (usual enabled by some form of psychopathy) is the limiting factor. A serial killer personality type doesn’t throw the towel just because they are physically weak.
Guess what I’m saying is: there isn’t a large contingent of women out there that would suddenly turn serial killers if they were to physically become stronger.
While mosquito bites are unpleasant in themselves due to the itching and swelling I don’t think it’s common for cultures to have worked out the causal relationship between mosquitos and diseases like malaria. But I’d be happily educated otherwise.
For gluten free products: the whole production chain needs to use different tools or be sealed off from the rest. You can generally use the same mill, kneader, oven, tray for barley, wheat, rye, etc without meticulous cleaning in between. But if you want it to be gluten free you now need to either do that expensive cleaning or more realistically have an entirely separate set of machinery and ensure it never gets in contact with your main line.
Here in Germany it has been revealed that the church set up a whole network shuffling around offenders (or sending them away to south america) and muddling traces. It’s even been shown that the former pope knew about such cases. It’s systemic.
Basically it’s a combination of supposed moral authority, intransparency, and mutual cover ups. People are willing to look the other way a lot when they perceive of someone as having a higher mission or great social standing. That includes law enforcement. Think of Donald Trump who’s a fraudster-racist-rapist-insurrectionist and yet the MAGA crowd loves him. Maybe celibacy plays into it as well, sexual urges don’t stop just because you don a robe.
Younger people are less and less religious with each generation. So at least from that angle the problem might eventually go away.
The wheel (for transportation) is really a concomitant of stable roads existing. Really wheels only work on flat, paved surfaces. The “invention” of the wheel isn’t the stroke of genius that pop culture likes to portray it as. It’s just something that follows from having the right environment. The Romans for instance built and maintained widespread road networks throughout Europe to quickly move troops to the front lines. It turns out that those roads also were a tremendous boon for traders and travellers using carts.
Comic’s still funny though.
I often use this over KDE’s inbuilt screenshot tool because this one has a quick way to crop a screenshot
It’s leaves from a climbing plant like ivy, as for the torso I see it as fur or hide of animal like a leopard.
Nice, the 3 panels work in pretty much any order (some are better).
Too many games I’ve seen conflate being evil with being a jerk. Few games let you play the ‘long game’ where you are specifically nice and cooperative to deceive and manipulate. I think this partly due to decisions being made modular and point to point. Your overall morality then is calculated as some form of average of all the decisions you made. Mass effect series comes to mind.
But if you want to play as a scheming villain the opposite should be the case: you set your primary long term goal (eg taking over a country or institution) and then your actions are chosen in the vein of that goal. And those actions might in isolation actually be seen as beneficial or benign. But you ultimately do them to gain trust or deceive.
Ime it’s not only the quality/style of music but being compressed and transmitted over phone line (which is optimized for human voice) and also often being way too loud (sudden shock plus clipped dynamic range).
Law terminology specifically can seem pretty archaic because there’s a high need for terms to be stable over time. In other fields and everyday speech terms can change over time. There’s contracts signed decades or even centuries ago that are still binding today. So it’s practical in a sense if the words within and those used to discuss legal dealings don’t change over time.
In my experience the big problem is not people self ascribing personality types but type casting others. When you expect others to have certain traits you also treat them accordingly.
I can’t believe she has trouble speaking in front of crowds, she’s a lion after all.
Then again horoscopes aren’t unified or anything and you can just cherry pick from different sources and cultures to believe anything.
I don’t think it works well here because the art styles don’t match and the way the bar keeper is drawn looks nothing like the old woman.
git gud
not a meme per se but I always found the command abcde
confusing:
user1: How to best rip this music album??
user2: Oh simple: abcde
user1: 🤔🤔?
abcde stands for ‘a better CD encoder’, the more you know
Nice. I’m wondering how often this cycle has played out so far …?
