Wrong. I breathed in some helium once and it made my voice all high pitched which threatened my fragile masculinity. Very toxic.

Never worked much with cryogenics, but the one thing I learned was to never get in an elevator with (large quantities of) liquid nitrogen — if the elevator stops it can displace the oxygen and that’s…kinda bad.

Looks like you edited but kept the “th” suffix instead of “nd” :)

Lol, comment removed. It ended with, “…support for the Chinese Communist party” as a way of finding out someone is a child.

Which was then removed in a, dare I say, childish act of moderation.

(Which is fine, the folks at .ml are welcome to censor as they see fit, of course, and I’m sure this comment isn’t long for this world.)

I have a Mikrotik router, 2x VLAN-enabled switches, and 3x VLAN-enabled APs. My Internet access broke every day for a month while I figured out what I was doing.

AFAIK in the USA you can’t have the main batteries be replaceable (I think an aux battery for wireless functions is allowed…).

EDIT: I seem to be thinking of California, maybe not all of US.

What country? AFAIK in the US you can’t make the batteries replaceable. If they are wirelessly linked they can have auxiliary batteries for that, but (I believe) that’s different than the main battery…

EDIT: I seem to be thinking of California, maybe not all of US.

A French court has ordered Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco to poison their DNS resolvers…

There’s an audio illusion that’s somewhat analogous to the barber pole illusion — instead of a pattern which appears to always go up or down, you can have a sound which seems to always go up or down in pitch: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone

Yeah…it’s pretty funny to see a bird running around with an apparently broken wing and then as soon as you’re out of threat range they fly away.

In before the .tar.gz/.tar.bz2 gang…

There are plenty of distributions without systemd — https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_distributions_without_systemd

Looks like Slashdot no longer allows Anonymous Cowards. TIL.

(I’m not editorializing — that’s what you’d show up as if you posted anonymously.)

Codec has huge impact.

Double-sided phone could be pretty neat.

I was curious, so I looked it up and it seems that around 3KB is the max for a single 177x177 code (though I imagine this is a “soft” limit?). With 600DPI being common for laser printers, a DPI-limited 3KB would be well under 1cm x 1cm. My hunch is that this wouldn’t be super reliable (DPI limit not necessarily the resolution of the printer?), but I’d be curious to see what the usable QR density actually is. But yeah…a few QR codes should do the trick!

I would be surprised if you couldn’t get 8KB for 200 years out of standard flash simply by extreme duplication — 8GB/8KB means a million copies on one (very small by today’s standards!) drive.

Or is the failure mechanism something other than bitrot?

1. Print out 8KB on high quality paper.
2. Store in good environment…

I think this is the real question.

Did they quit and join a competitor who offered a better WFH option? Or did they get a taste of the good parts of white collar pandemic life — no commute, flexible hours, work from anywhere — and decide that actually, their entire identity is not just their professional life, and maybe they should retire to see the world/spend time with family?

There are definitely some high profile rage quits over return to office, but I think there are a lot more of the “hey this was fun but time to take care of myself” quits.

Or, they didn’t do it at all:

This suggests nginx options to use re: hostname. Unsure of your nginx config…
