  • Happy Public Domain Day everyone

    Jump

  • Has any software ever entered the public domain through copyright expiration? I think software at least 70 years old (125 years for corporate created) when its copyright expires prevents it from being any benefit at all.

  • Remember Memristors? They're commercially available today, at 200 EUR per bit.

  • Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

    Jump

  • Three years ago, I replaced a failing SATA SSD in my personal laptop with a new SATA SSD. That laptop had plenty of power, and I'd still be using it today if the keyboard still worked, and the screen hinges weren't cracked. It had no NVME slots.

  • The Fan-Created Content Guidelines are not a contract that PETA has entered into. There are no grounds for a lawsuit for breach of contract, for copyright infringement, or for anything else.

  • why is fossil fuel still used?

    Jump

  • Corn ethanol isn't really renewable either. It works better if made from sugarcane, but it's still a big food-vs-fuel problem.

  • why is fossil fuel still used?

    Jump

  • Renewable liquid fuels have the same energy density.

  • why is fossil fuel still used?

    Jump

  • I believe two reasons: first, political will. Fossil fuel companies are large and entrenched, and have lots of experience lobbying governments. They block things like carbon taxes.

    Second, a strange sort of game theory where each player (each country) thinks "My individual contributions to greenhouse gasses are just a small part of the total. They won't cause global catastrophe. Just an incremental increase in the existing catastrophe. The incremental harm won't fall directly on me; it will be divided among many countries. If continuing to use fossil fuels provides some small economic advantage, it outweighs the portion of the harms that will land on me. As for the harms I experience from other countries' carbon emissions, there's nothing I can do to prevent them."

  • What microcontroller options do I have?

    Jump

  • The atmega328 and stm32f411 are good. Both are well documented, have boards available with good peripherals, and plenty of other hobbyist projects on them.

    The atmega328 is 8-bit. It was made by Atmel, which was a great company until they got bought by Microchip a decade ago. Their IDE sucks now, but you can still program them with other tools and IDEs.

    The stm32f411 is 32-bit, a bit more recent, and a bit more expensive. ST microelectronics has great documentation and hobbyist support.

    These are microcontrollers, so you'll be running without an operating system. If you want embedded Linux, you'll need something with an MMU and more power than a microcontroller.

  • This is illegal in some places. It should be illegal everywhere in the US.

  • Their goods just got a whole lot less appealing

    Jump

  • The EPA definition would exclude chemicals like trifluoroethanol, so the EPA's definition is narrower, not broader.

    From a strict organic chemistry perspective, trifluoroethanol contains a perfluorinated methyl group, and methyl is a type of alkyl, therefore it must be considered a PerFluoro Alkyl Substance.

  • Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days

  • The usual way for me is to give certbot write access to a directory in the HTTP root, so the server can keep running.

  • For internal stuff, it may be easier to set up your own CA.

  • Medusa is apparently so ugly that looking at her turns you to stone. And she's ugly because her hair is snakes.

    But what if I like snakes? Can I feed the snek a cricket I caught earlier in the dungeon?

  • When a Discovery fan complains about rabid Trekkies attacking them for not hating the new show

    Jump

  • I can't say I've ever seen that. Partly because my friends would never attack someone for linking something, partly because I've never met anyone who likes Discovery.

  • I made a KDE Plasma theme to look like Windows 98 [EDIT: v0.9]

    Jump

  • Windows 98 had god usability. The buttons and controls all had borders, so you could know where they are. In Windows 11, everything is flat, nothing has a border, so you can never know where the interactive area is.
