Quora should be respecting robots.txt, but also why are the NYT etc. serving the full article to the Quora bot anyway?

catloaf ,

fun fact, windows is posted on the web: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

catloaf ,

Not just right now, but since they got hacked in 2016.

catloaf ,

If you're buying used and want to check the health of the drive, you should run a SMART test and check the current SMART data. Most USB controllers do not support that.

catloaf ,

Depends on how the person he's married to feels about it. I don't know how they define their relationship.

catloaf ,

Yeah who are they to charge for access to all those naturally-occuring cell phone towers?

catloaf ,

Not any more, since the Supreme Court just overturned Chevron. Now the FCC (and every other federal organization) can only do what's explicitly described in law.

catloaf ,

Oh, so you both benefit, then.

catloaf ,

Radarr et al. already do this. Add it to Radarr, drop the files in an import folder, then scan unmapped files and import.

The study involved 20 national-level table tennis players, all of whom had been training for over six years. These athletes were compared to a control group of 21 healthy university students who had not received systematic motor skill training.

Yeah, we know that activities like these have physical and mental health benefits, especially compared to people that don't do any of this kind of activity. What's new in this study?

catloaf ,

The study is very clearly linked.

catloaf ,

Exactly how pure are you trying to get? You can buy 99.5% pretty easily.

catloaf ,

Oh, I missed that it was for 3d printing.

Maybe an actual chemist will chime in, but I couldn't find any sources about purifying or recycling IPA, at least none that you could do at home. At a guess, maybe a reverse osmosis system without the finest membrane? Like you said, the water and IPA molecules should be smaller than the dyes and resins.

Maybe also consider washing with the dirty IPA, and just giving a rinse at the end with the clean IPA in order to conserve. Ultimately it sounds like everything I've found is material you're already familiar with, unfortunately.

catloaf ,

Well this shouldn't be a problem after the last time they got hacked, because they denied it and blamed the users, so everyone switched to a better product. Not to mention the extortionate rate hikes. Right?

catloaf ,

Anydesk was what I used most recently. They did also have a breach early this year, but they handled it responsibly from what I read.

If company breaches are unacceptable, there are several selfhosted options, but I haven't tried any so I can't make a recommendation.

catloaf ,

I would recommend something like a Pi as well, but it looks like you're going to have to take it down to 5v. Maybe a NUC might be better.

But if you really want 20 TB, you'll need to buy two drives at least 10 TB, and you'll want them to be SSDs for the low power requirement. So that means you'll need a device with two SATA ports, because I don't think anyone makes NVMe drives that big. Oh, and be ready to pay a few thousand for each drive. Also you'll want to keep one drive offline, in an ESD bag in a dry bag. So maybe one will be USB.

But for real low power, I'd suggest just plain turning it off. Booting doesn't take that long any more. Or maybe suspend to disk, if you can find a system that supports it.

But overall, I would suggest reevaluating how important these things are to you. Generally, lots of electronics and nomadism don't go together. Have you considered books? I'm sure you can find people to swap with when you're in port.

catloaf ,

Probably at your local asian gay bar.

Appeasement didn't stop Hitler in the 30s and 40s. It won't stop Putin now. It never works.

catloaf ,

I'm more interested in the inverse: when does colonizing an already-inhabited area turn into a recognized country? Because Israel was created by a stroke of the pen out of Palestinian land. Or is it purely "might makes right"?

catloaf ,

Points for consistency, but no points for nihilism because the points are meaningless anyway.

catloaf ,

So I just need to run an Ansible playbook and my sedan turns into a pickup truck?

catloaf ,

Nah, just make the alternatives cheaper and a significant portion of people will switch. The biggest barriers to alternatives are habit and cost.

catloaf ,

DNS TTL is in seconds. And it's frequently ignored, where caching DNS servers make their own decisions.

catloaf ,

That's an opinion question.

catloaf ,

Looks like it works fine on Pixel 6 too.

catloaf ,

Lies of omission are still lies.

catloaf ,

Tempered glass is designed to not be sharp when broken. But they break a window furthest from the person inside to limit damage.

They can also use some tools to remove the window in mostly one piece after cracking it, rather than smashing it and sending glass flying.

catloaf ,

What's the page, and what cert do you receive?

catloaf ,

Hamas wouldn't, but Hamas would lose power. The reason they're in power is because they aimed to fight Israel (and because they suspended elections once in power). If both Gaza and the West Bank came under Palestinian Authority control, Fatah would be in charge (at least until whatever election).

catloaf ,

Palestine is an Israeli autonomous region? Wild that someone would come right out with the colonialist revisionism, but okay.

catloaf ,

Yup. From an economic and political perspective, this is a bad thing. From a climate perspective it's good. But if we all invest, then everyone wins.

Well, not the oil companies, but they can die from climate effects for all I care.

catloaf ,

Yeah. Games are all digital downloads these days. And consoles and accessories are cheaper and easier to get online. There's no point in physical video game stores any more.

Personally, I just want Radio Shack back, and not just the cell phone and crappy toy store.

Microsoft Account to local account conversion guide erased from official Windows 11 guide — instructions redacted earlier this week ( www.tomshardware.com )

Microsoft has been pushing hard for its users to sign into Windows with a Microsoft Account. The newest Windows 11 installer removed the easy bypass to the requirement that you make an account or login with your existing account. If you didn't install Windows 11 without a Microsoft Account and now want to stop sending the...

catloaf ,

Windows is not nearly as profitable as platforms like Azure, 365, and business sales like Visual Studio. And most people don't buy Windows licenses, they get them bundled from the OEM. So Microsoft can monetize the user by collecting and selling their date instead.

catloaf ,

Give them a refund.

catloaf ,

That's the neat part, they don't! They have a huge domestic weapons industry already!

Archive.org

catloaf ,

Bold of you to assume it's a reasonable system.

catloaf ,

How would adding this one to the list be different?

catloaf ,

Tell the ISP you're signing up with that there's no drop for their service, and have them run a new one to the office. Check your local laws about touching their wire or box on the outside of the house before removing it.

Also, it's really easy to patch holes in drywall with a little joint compound and matched paint.

Otherwise, MoCA and powerline ethernet can work. Modern wifi is pretty good too, though consider walls, etc. between points A and B and which frequency you'll be using.

catloaf ,

It's not a loophole. They're violating several laws by re-exporting the machines. And they're probably smuggling it too.

This could be stopped by the equipment manufacturer, at first export to Estonia, or at export from Estonia to Russia, but nobody cares enough at any of those points.

catloaf ,

Agreed. If you have real employees, as much as I hate to say it, just get something like Quickbooks. The small amount of money you spend is well worth the time not fussing over it.

catloaf ,

Yeah. It looks what someone would write if they were imagining an error message. It's a mishmash of user-friendly text and someone's idea of JSON.

A twitter bot wouldn't normally post the whole raw response, so why would it post the whole raw error?

catloaf ,

If by "avalanche" you mean "escalation of conflict", yes. They don't allow firearms because of one side shoots, the other side shoots back, then everyone is shooting and it's a real war. Without guns, they have to actually go up and fight the other guy, which is much less effective fighting. A few guys beat up a few other guys, instead of dozens shooting and killing dozens.

[SOLVED] Accidently damaged an MicroSD by pulling it before it had fully ejected

I accidentally removed a MicroSD card from an Android device running Android 12 while it was being ejected. This happened because it took longer than usual (less than a few seconds), and I pulled it out without looking at the notification. Now, when I insert the MicroSD card into any Android device, it tells me to format it to...

catloaf ,

If it's that important, send it to a data recovery company and pay them. I'm sure this would be an easy job.

catloaf ,

It's the "I'm not touching you" of international geopolitics. They're doing everything they can think of, short of actual war.

catloaf ,

Most clients support adding trackers directly.

catloaf ,

And pigs may grow wings and fly. I'd be shocked if either of these things happen.

catloaf ,

So the same thing as fleshlights?
