Scary Movie

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't have any plans for the next month anyway.

I played the free demo of Factorio for about 10 hours and got hooked. Waited a bit to see if the price would go down, but it didn't and I didn't care. Bought it at full price and sunk a few hundred hours into it, which is some of the best entertainment ROI from a cost/hours perspective. It turned out to be a bad ROI from a general life perspective since I didn't do much else during that time, so be careful to not get too addicted.

That was an excruciating interview to listen to. He started off kinda sounding sane, but as time went on, more of his fringe ideas started showing, culminating to that point.

Surprised this wasn't a more clickbait headline:

Police hate him; Soju manufactures love him; How one man was able to get out of a DUI with this weird trick

Seriously though, what stops this from being a go to strategy for anyone pulled over on suspicion of a DUI? I guess you could argue it's tampering with evidence?

Not do downplay this issue, but based on the description, OP had a valid session cookie, and was updating their profile to disable MFA since they lost the code. They weren't brute forcing logging in.

I haven't looked into the source code, maybe this is an instance by instance configuration, but login attempts are rate limited. After a few failed attempts, I started getting this message:

Lemmy Error: You're being rate limited, wait a bit before trying that again.

Interesting, that's not something I ever thought about. I just looked up the nameservers for .bb:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns5.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns3.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns2.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns1.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns4.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns6.nic.bb.

It seems like ns1.nic.bb doesn't resolve, and for 2-6, they're all in either 64.68.192.0/20 or 64.119.192.0/20, so it does look like a small concentration in root nameservers which could be unavailable in a storm.

Same thing happened to me once tbh. It can happen.

the warning for future tech founders is clear: Be careful when picking your top-level domain. Physical history is never as separate from our digital future as we like to think.

Kinda ironic this is published to a website with a .to ccTLD for the Kingdom of Tonga.

Who's on first?

What's the s3 app for your phone?

FWIW if you have a seed box which you can ssh into, you can setup a SOCKS5 proxy to route all traffic through the seed box. It'll act like a VPN for you and is the best of both worlds in my opinion. This way your ISP and government can't block your traffic or see that you're accessing trackers at all (even to get the magnet links).

The first one was pretty funny : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYqfVE-fykk

Don't even get me started with about:config

Nowhere in the rules does it say dogs can't play basketball the president can't talk their cult into marching onto the capitol with the intention of hanging their own VP.

I use PWAs for Firefox and they work ok, although I don't have the issue you mention. For me, in Ubuntu, if I open a link in a PWA for Google Chat, then the link opens in the PWA firefox window, not my main browser window. Maybe there's a setting I missed?

Also, the PWA acts like a separate browser, so opening Google Chat requires you to log in again to Google on the same machine. And if you open up a paywalled link, and it opens in the PWA, then you have to log in, even if you're logged in in Firefox.

Overall 5/7 rating on usability, but did allow me to get completely off of Chrome

check online for updated expiration dates, i have seen that a lot of the original expiration dates printed on the boxes were conservative estimates at the time and updated once more information was known.

Was this scene in the trailers or something ahead of another more popular movie that year? I don't think I've ever seen this movie, but the scene is still burned into my mind 20 years later.

I don't particularly like Linus, but he was bearable in this video. As someone who assumed this was a SIM swap, I was genuinely as confused as he was playing it up when he was able to place calls but not receive them. That was really interesting.
