That’s easy. Just fly somewhere and bring it in your carry-on, airport security will let you know.
I’m a technical kinda guy, doing technical kinda stuff.

I don’t think there’s anything commercially available that can do it.
However, as an experiment, you could:
You could probably/eventually script this kind of operation if you have software that can automatically identify and group images.
Dammit now I have to reduce the block size of my discord-based cold storage filesystem.
Letting it ring has no impact. They have autodiallers that call, and when someone picks up, only then is that call assigned to someone in the call centre.
You can often tell this because there is a marked delay in the response to your initial “Hello?”. Long enough that you can reliably just hang up if you don’t hear a response in two seconds.
If it’s a real person who actually wants to call you and they you call again straight away, you can just shrug off your hang-up as a network issue.
True. Hence my caveat of “most cards”. If it’s got LEDs on the port, it’s quite likely to signal which speed it is at with those LEDs.
I haven’t yet come across a gigabit card that won’t do 10Mbit (edit: switches are a different matter) but sometimes I’ve come across cards that fail to negotiate speeds correctly, eg trying for gigabit when they only actually have a 4 wire connection that can support 100Mbit. Forcing the card to the “correct” speed makes them work.
For later reference, the link light on most network cards is a different colour depending on link speed. Usually orange for 1G, green for 100M and off for 10M (with data light still blinking).
I have not cared about or terminated A-spec after network cards gained auto MDI/MDIX about 20 years ago.
Yeah , it’s really a little strange in OPs case, I can’t really recall changing a CMOS battery in ages, like decades of computer use.
Conclusion: just replace the CMOS battery on a yearly basis during planned system downtime.
Directly from the nginx home page:
nginx [engine x] is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, a mail proxy server, and a generic TCP/UDP proxy server, originally written by Igor Sysoev.
Australian here, in Finland. Holy shit it seems everyone smokes like chimneys here.
Never really thought about how much smoking has declined in Aus over the last 20-40 years, but yeah coming over here has been an eye opener.
What if I want to buy a cheese sandwich today with BTC?
A cheese sandwich can remain the same fixed price in dollars for years, with only the relatively slow change in actual value due to inflation.
I’ve seen BTC swing 10% in 24 hours. Does the cheese-sandwich-maker have to look up the rate this instant and calculate a spot price for me?
Will they have more or less dollars at the end of the day, when they need to pay their bills and buy more cheese from their suppliers?
“Just buy cheese from someone who takes BTC”, doesn’t help, it just kicks the can further down the road.
“Just add a bit of a buffer in the price to take fluctuations into account”, means that I go buy a cheese sandwich with dollars from next door because it’s 50 cents cheaper for the same thing.
As an investment vehicle, BTC is doing hot laps of the track (with occasional accidents), but until its volatility issues are sorted and it becomes “boring”, it’s not going anywhere as an actual currency.
To be honest, I was surprised it had any idea about FFMPEG. The biggest problem is that it sounds so authoritative.
If it said, “hey I don’t know a huge amount about X” then you could work with that. But it will blithely say “no problem” and spit out 6 pages of non working code that you then have to debug further, and if you don’t know the terms in the area you’re working in you end up blundering around trying to find the right trigger word to get what you want.
I end up having to play twenty questions with chatgpt. For example, I’ve been asking it for code examples for ffmpeg mpeg4 encoding with C++.
It will happily spit out completely non-working code, where the core part - feeding image frames to the encoder - works, but it doesn’t initialise or tidy up the encoding afterwards.
Until I say, “hey this code doesn’t seem to work and creates corrupted files”, and then it’s like, “oh yeah you also need to do a bunch of other stuff, just like this”. Repeat as it slowly adds more and more pieces until finally you end up with something that actually works.
Or it will happily dream up function names or mix python and C functions, or will refer to older APIs even when I’ve specifically said “use API version x.y” and so on and so forth.
If I didn’t know enough about the subject already, I’d never be able to tease out the answer. So in a sense it’s a mostly useful reference, but it can’t be relied on to actually and consistently provide a result because it’s all statistics and fuzzy text generation behind the scenes, not actual knowledge.
It was a client that let you browse Reddit on your phone, in a much nicer and more organised way than anything provided by Reddit itself.
All was fine until Reddit decided to monetise their API that Apollo - and many other apps - used. Now it would cost the app developer tens of thousands a month to maintain the connection, which is not something that they could sustain.
So for me, the day that Boost for Reddit stopped working, I stopped using Reddit.
It did have a pretty catchy chorus.
Turns out it’s about an actual school shooting and not just disliking Mondays.
Back when a school shooting was actually something to write a song about.
Ok so as a indicative figure, my air-conditioned three bedroom home in Australia uses about 20kWh a day in the hottest part of the year, which multiplies out to about 0.6 MWh a month.
I wouldn’t expect the average Chinese home to use more than that, because that’s getting on the higher end of average usage in Australia and our homes are full of energy gobbling gadgets.
An electric Dash-8 equivalent with 20-40 seats would be a game changer on regional routes.
The engines are the highest maintenance and cost items in aircraft. Electric motors should* drastically reduce that. Regional/small use routes are often on razor thin margins, anything to improve those margins will be taken on board very quickly.
*Perhaps battery maintenance replaces that cost with a rough equivalent, I don’t know
I just would like to see the results of a recommendation algorithm that gives you something that it thinks you definitely won’t like, say, 20 percent of the time.
Because a lot of times in my endless scrolling I just end up with the same old drivel. Throw me something challenging occasionally, jeeeez.
Something like a raspberry pi or equivalent, and use reverse SSH set up to connect to a server with a known address on your end.
This means that ports don’t need to be opened on their end.
Also if you go with a gateway host, shift SSH to a randomised port like 37465, and install fail2ban.
