  • 30-06. A WW1 bullet, from before they decided faster, lighter bullets worked better.

  • It's similar to the miss against Trump, just missing in a more successful direction

  • Tldr: aldi, Coles, Woolworths in NSW and Vic will or are accepting soft plastics for recycling similar to the old redcycle system

  • Mint is pretty popular and that's not much other than reskinned Ubuntu

  • I have always told my team "remember that last piece of work? Add an appropriate fudge factor to this estimate to deal with those sort of problems"

    There's usually a last one, if not there'll be one I can call by name

  • Allow a 100:1 wall clock to CPU/brain rate

  • It's no secret that a lot of doctors are terrible at their jobs too

  • I guess one good tern deserves another

  • Even on Linux where it's easy to find what any running service does, the are so many

  • I seem to have annoyed an admin of an instance enough for them to subscribe my signup email to hundreds of dating profiles (presumably using a service that offers to harass someone for you)

    Many of them aren't good at validating email

    One in ten has one email arrive, asking me to click a link to confirm

    9 in ten have 5 emails before I notice them:

    • Please click a link to confirm
    • You received a wink
    • You received a wink
    • You received 3 chat requests
    • You received a link

    So it's important to not send emails beyond the validate one to unvalidated addresses, to perfect your service annoying or harassing this parties

    Also, use a disposable address for signing up to Lemmy

  • Google don't restrict unlocking the boot loader. I just checked on my Pixel 9 Pro Fold and the OEM unlocking toggle is still there. The only barrier is enabling developer options by repeatedly tapping the build number in settings/about phone, just like it always has been

    You can only relock the bootloader with a signed OS image loaded

  • They said they are doing some coding at their non-coding job. It would be good if AI could replace amateur programmers, it would make better code and take a load off the workers

  • Red hat (in '99). I chose it because it was included on the disc that came with an IT magazine I bought at the time

    I moved to Linux From Scratch a few years later, then to Debian. I have been on Debian based OSes since then, I like Mint at the moment

    Knoppix was my favourite recovery and rescue live CD

  • That's what it is presented as. It functions as a disincentive against EVs

    Though vehicles overall should be paying enough to pay for their infrastructure, I'd like that to be entirely borne by fossil fuel vehicles to move the balance of vehicles towards the quieter and less polluting

  • Ah so you're talking about the rigid floppies

  • We had 300 ohm ribbon back when we had VHF TV. When we went to UHF in the '90s we also changed to coaxial cable

    Coaxial cable works better at higher frequencies than 300 ohm, but needs shielding. 300 ohm doesn't need shielding as any wave that hits it hits phase and anti-phase at the same time and has no effect

  • I have a 286 which connects through a COM (serial) port. Its mouse also has a ball since solid state lasers hadn't been invented

    I'm very glad those mouses are maintainable and seem to last forever

  • I loved hanging out with an entomologist during the brief time xkcd's geohashing was popular. Just sharing the love of the insect world they had

    They also taught me how to make a drosophila (fruit fly) trap (cut the to off a soft drink bottle, flip it, tape the two parts together, bait it with wine)
