I once met a person that never drank water, only soft drinks. It's not the unhealthiness of this that disturbed me, but the fact they did it without the requisite paperwork.

Unlike those disorganised people I have a formal waiver. I primarily drink steam and crushed glaciers.

  • Master was easy (18 mins), still stuck on the expert one though. My solutions almost work :(

  • Site seems offline now, says "Closed Jan 30th"

  • Something to be wary of when interpreting the datasheet:

    • Act10 = LED blinking when Ethernet packets transmitted/received at 10Mbps.
    • Act100 = ...
    • Act1000 = ...

    Bad wording on their part. What they really mean is: "LED blinking when Ethernet packets transmitted/received AND the link is currently in a XYZMbps link speed mode". The mode is negotiated once after you plug a cable in and usually does not change after that, regardless of how much data you try to send.

    Technically each linkspeed/mode is a whole ethernet standard of its own, but we mostly gloss over that and pretend to end users that they're backwards compatible.

  • Similar here.

    Family is mostly OK on it. We used to have issues with iOS devices not noticing some new messages & calls, but that seems to have stopped a few months ago. Family is usually impatient about me getting to my phone and rings me using 3 different services in a row, one of them Snikket xD

    Have not yet managed to get any friends onto it.

  • Thing is, its EOL, per Asus. Does this mean that it won’t be supported on OpenWRT for much longer?

    OpenWRT tends to support devices longer and better than the OEM, but it depends on the popularity of the chipset inside the router.

    Many different routers by different companies are almost identical internally, because they use the same chipset. Eg the RT-AC3100 seems to be a bcm53xx variant, of which OpenWRT supports a few dozen products. Support will probably only be dropped when every single one of those devices goes EOL and several years pass (ie no people left contributing/maintaining it and the builds break somehow).

    Router chipsets can be very long lived. Many new devices use decade old chipset designs. Some chipset families have almost identical chips released every few years with slightly different peripherals, clocks & pinouts; but are supported by the same kernel drivers.

    (This is all much better than the world of mobile phone hardware support. Maybe it's because of different market pressures? Not to mention you don't have a monopoly that benefits from keeping the hardware fractured. Imagine if people could make a competitor to Android that works across most devices out there)

  • Size is the interesting bit for me.

    • Honda Super-ONE is a kei car
    • BYD atto (the "$24K" one) is bigger, but not by too much.
  • I wish the backrooms were real. The monsters are no match for realestate agents, so it'd be pretty safe to rent.

  • As far as I understand, wireguard is designed so that it can't be portscanned. Replies are never sent to packets unless they pass full auth.

    This is both a blessing and a curse. It unfortunately means that if you misconfigure a key then your packets get silently ignored by the other party, no error messages or the likes, it's as if the other party doesn't exist.

    EDIT: Yep, as per https://www.wireguard.com/protocol/

    In fact, the server does not even respond at all to an unauthorized client; it is silent and invisible.

  • It's completely off screen :(

  • This is very true for electronics. Days of reading garbage ai-written websites, 5-times regurgitated information and scientific papers that might solve your problem but are pages of complex equations (spoiler: every time I've put the effort into decoding such a paper I've found it to be useless, often due to the author misunderstanding the problem they describe in their intro or bad assumptions). Finally you strike upon a badly scanned copy of a document from the 80's from a company that doesn't exist any more describing exactly what your problem is and how to solve it in a simple manner.

  • I have too many questions about how the teleportation works, like what happens if you instantly (or over a small time t) transition from one location's air pressure to another?

  • Had no idea about this, ty. Usually my local bees enter a drug-fueled rolling-around state inside my magnolia flowers (it's a sight to behold), will have to watch and see if any beetles also visit mine.

  • I do not think a single one of your photos shows flowers or spores. Prude!

    Cycads? Disgusting.

    As a Magnolia man I'm feeling left out.

    EDIT: Just showed my mum, she agrees on every point, including Cycads being gross. "Tell them I'm on the warpath and I'm coming after you"

  • Ditto. I don't block any captchas though.

    I wanted to complain about how hard it was to find the forecasts. At the time it required clicking through unrelated items, they have changed it now. Tried to give feedback and was then chucked in the bin.

  • Also tried giving feedback, pile of errors and wouldn't accept it.

  • Huh? It's https now for me. Auto-redirected from the http pages.

  • Ty. Sorry it was a grumpy warning :(

    From memory, it felt like the electrostatic discharge that used to happen whenever I was touching my car.

    That's likely a valid comparison. Some parts of the tube might give you the same style of event as static electricity discharge when you touch them. Other parts would give you something more though :D so please don't take this as a generalisation.

    Interestingly, the PC suffered no damage at all and didn’t blow its internal fuse, either.

    Fuses are OK as fire prevention devices, but mostly useless as electrocution prevention. They blow based off power draw and time. Many human-electric interactions don't actually draw that much power or last that long when compared to normal circuit power draws & timescales.
