Palantir, which the US gov is now (let’s not kid ourselves, has been for some time illegally) contracting, probably already has your face either from street cams, security cams in various company buildings, or from social media at this point, so letting you ‘opt out’ is probably just theatre to avoid angering people at airports.

C# development was spearheaded by Anders Hjelsberg, one of the brains behind Borland Delphi/Object Pascal.

You’re such a cute chocolate bunny!

Now who’s that glum one on the left?

There’s a dedicated tool named sshguard which works nicely.

Bedeviled NXP/ARM SDK stdlib. Hate it, we need \n\r there. Why!!! What a PITA.

Madagascar’s always the hardest to wipe out in that Pandemic game, if that helps :P

If you go to New Zealand, you’ll have to deal with the shithead billionaires there who will have moved there a few days ahead of you, (since they’ll get extra warning of course), who will have moved already into the fortress-bunkers they’ve been making for a decade or so there.

It should be a life mission of anyone in New Zealand, when the time comes, to find out where their air systems reach the surface and throw a few grenades down the ducts. For the good of humanity (whatever’s left).

I had not heard of Jackett and to be honest haven’t really looked into aggregators. Will look into it, thank you.

1337x.to has good torrents/magnets in my experience, but def. use ad blocking. On mobile clicking almost anything tries to redirect or pop something up.

Dunno about docker setup, but I mirror github repos I worry may disappear automatically using my self-hosted gogs instance. (Gitea/Forgejo likely also can do it). It’s point-and-click, you just specify the github URL and check a box “this is a mirror”.

This ^^^ so much

Do not trust Russia, and do not trust the US under current administration, or while the GOP still exists. We in the rest of the world are ON OUR OWN and must band together against this push of fascism across the world. This is not a drill, this is not a joke. Fascism is again on the rise, as it was in the 1930s. We all know where that led, so don’t let it do so again!

Even Fox “news” reported the Orange fascist didn’t place his hand on any book during the 2025 inauguration. Apparently as with so many things Americans assumed were requirements for their ‘democracy’, this was just a “norm”. Not that I think this particular detail is worthy of concern as much as the other hugely evil things this admin is doing. But it is telling. He’d never feel found by any ‘oath’ anyway, and certainly doesn’t feel bound by any morals found in any religious book, so it would not have made any difference.

And you think they’d lift a finger to make that new technology accessible to the rest of us? As always, we’d be lucky to get the crumbs they leave us.

We might benefit, but only if they could not keep it entirely to themselves…

Given the events of the last 4 years I’m done with offering any benefit of the doubt to billionaires. Default judgement is ‘they are evil, selfish pricks who will throw everyone else to the fire unless there is something in it for them’.

Nah, 100 years of extra life (even more if they are randomly selected more than once) would give them plenty of time to exploit us all to colonize Mars and beyond in order to flee there and become emperors of a new planet, so they’d still destroy the Earth. You underestimate their shittitude as ‘human’ beings.

Neat, will try it out.

Has anyone written an android desktop search widget for it? A quick search only foumd one veeery old experimental project.

Absolutely – I hate how we’ve been raised to think of time in monetary terms; I have to remind myself on days off that “No, I do not need to do anything it’s my day off! I can sleep in… no need to be productive …”

Imagine the reduction in e-waste if everyone in high school took a short course in how to use a soldering iron, solder-sucker/braid and heat-gun to replace common bits in consumer electronics. So many things could be saved that get thrown out only due to a bad microswitch or cracked solder joint to a USB or headphone connector …

True. It isn’t always about a cost/labour analysis. Sometimes I want to repair something to learn how to do it. Sometimes I want to repair something because even though ‘my time is valuable’, I hate the idea of throwing out something I know will rot in the landfill for a thousand years. Sometimes I’m just attached to the thing and afraid I won’t find a replacement that is as good (which is often the case).

I hate our throwaway culture, it’s good to know how to fix things even if it isn’t technically ‘cost effective’ to do so.

Oh, they know exactly what they’re doing. They are attempting (and apparently succeeding) to bulldoze their way through an administrative coup.
