That’s what happens when you download Chrome from chr0mebrowser․ru

What am I even doing with my life… brb, gotta get me an octopus vase…

I’ve started a few warriors, but it’s not helping because they’ve activated rate limiting. I just get:

Tracker rate limiting is active. We don’t want to overload the site we’re archiving, so we’ve limited the number of downloads per minute. Retrying after 240 seconds…

So the bottleneck is that they don’t want to overload Veoh.

Obviously you’ve never heard of the Time Cube, invented by the “wisest man on Earth”. (“My wisdom so antiquates known knowledge, that a psychiatrist examining my behavior, eccentric by his academic single corner knowledge, knows no course other than to judge me schizophrenic.” - Gene Ray).

You can still find his (now gone) site on the Internet Archive.
His ramblings are unfortunately very racist and homophobic too.

One of his diagrams that explain everything:

Why switch from Gitea to Forgejo, if I may ask?

SG1

Stargate SG-1 is equal parts “Vancouver warehouse sci-fi” and “Vancouver rock quarry sci-fi”

Using the Internet Archive like this for streaming and sharing pirated movies is a dick move. They’re a really valuable nonprofit organization, but they’re already in hot water because of some ebook lending during covid, so this is just wasting their bandwidth and painting another target on them for the big Hollywood rightsholders.

You guys ever heard of torrents?

Ogg was apparently not named after Nanny Ogg, no matter how awesome that’d be.

The Xiph.org foundation themselves say that’s where the name came from.

The Vorbis audio codec was also named after Vorbis from Small Gods, the 13th Discworld book.

Yeah, you could get hundreds of cheap nozzles for $70. I’ve bought packs of 10 nozzles for 74 cents. That’s almost a thousand nozzles I could get instead of one $70 tungsten one. Or maybe “only” 800 nozzles if I factor in a pessimistic shipping cost too.

EDIT: Checked the price I paid and it was even cheaper than I remember. Edited my calculations.

The new logo sort of looks like a white flag. It symbolizes the fact that Mozilla has just completely given up by now.

The moz://a logo is really genius. I wonder if their current leadership is so incompetent that they don’t even understand the :// part of the logo…

and frankly people got really pushy about a thing they don’t even pay for

He doesn’t owe anyone anything, and he can decide to run his open source project just as he pleases, but it could have gone so much better. People are mostly just disappointed, I feel like.

Pretty sure you can save them locally, it just requires extra clicks every time, which is super annoying.

What’s the value proposition here? Free no-questions-asked replacement if it breaks? Free upgrades when new models come out (though they have no real incentive to keep developing new “forever mice”)?

If my mice on average last, say, 6 years and cost $175 (I splurged on a high-end one last time), the subscription will have to be less than $2.40/month, and since customers absolutely hate subscriptions, especially if there’s no real benefit, probably even less than $1.50/month for most to even consider it.

In fact the Logitech mouse before my current mouse lasted 12 years and cost me $75, so that’s a max subscription cost of 50 cents/month for it to be comparable.

Most slicer software is cross platform, free and open source. The biggest ones are PrusaSlicer, Cura and OrcaSlicer. You can use all of these with lots of different brands of printers. Creality’s own slicer used to just be a slightly modified version of Cura (Not sure if their new “Creality Print” software is, but it doesn’t matter, you’re rarely tied to any specific software, at least with FDM printers). Bambu Lab Studio is not available for Linux, but OrcaSlicer is, and as far as I know it’s just an open source community edition of Studio.

In other words, you’ll have plenty of options on Linux.

I’ve had about 1000+ tabs open before, but I’ve gotten better at keeping them under control. It’s very normal for me to hit a couple hundred, once in a while, though, before I go through them all and weed out the ones I’m done with. Right now I only have 24, but 19 of them are my pinned tabs that are used all the time.
