So what pisses me off in these cases is this: they didn't contribute with the data. They're a convenient aggregator, I give them that, but the data came from third parties. If you want to start charging for convenient access to the data you should at least make all data before you started charging available in a bulk download for free.

And the same enlightened kids who are so aware about discrimination and gender fluidity (which is good) are the ones discriminating against others because they don't have an iPhone.

I've been using NiMH batteries for a long long time now. Very few devices dislike them at this point. Some will show the "battery low" icon but keep working as they typically have much higher charges than alkalines.

I like tailscale and have been testing it for a few months. I'm also using headscale as the control plane.

Unfortunately the android client is somewhat unreliable. It works most of the time but once in a while, connections to your tailnet will fail for a bit and require retries. If you ping a machine in your tailnet during this problem, it will show packet loss and then start working after a few pings. This unfortunately makes it difficult to have a reliable split DNS setup.

I've done everything to try and understand what happens without success. It seems like state is lost somewhere and a few packets flowing will fix it. Running a constant ping from Android to my tailnet "fixes" the problem, but is not a great workaround.

Just something to keep in mind before you jump headfirst.

Wut? Blue? Are you sure about that? Afaik the peak is around 555nm, yellow green. Why do you think we have "high visibility yellow" vests and not "high visibility blue?"

IIRC 555nm (or whereabouts) stimulates the L and M cones simultaneously.

They're great but the scissors will get dull very quickly and it's almost impossible to sharpen them. Also, the newer models are not as good as the older ones.

Can't wait to have an AI based ads remover that rewrites the page HTML and removes all ads.

I think that's the point.

It's almost midnight. You just got out of your job, a restaurant in a somewhat seedy location in old downtown. You leave through the backdoor into an alley and suddenly notice you're not alone. The metal door just closed shut behind you.

You look to your right. There's a guy with a knife. He's looking at you and smiling in a weird manner. He starts walking towards you menacingly.

You look to your left. There's a well known old drunk there. He smells bad and likes to hug people who are passing by. If you go that way, you will be hugged by him.

What do you do?

If you go right, you'll get stabbed and killed. If you do nothing and stay put, you'll get stabbed and killed. If you go left, you will be hugged by the stinky guy. It's disgusting and not ideal, but you'll not be stabbed and survive.

What do you choose?

I see people all the time with the dumbest arguments to not vote. "He's not progressive enough", or "he's part of the system", or even "he didn't do enough for X" (insert your favorite minority here).

It's all true. But the universe is not a perfect or ideal place. Not voting for the imperfect guy gets us a true horrible alternative. It's a choice between bad and awful.

Please vote bad and keep the awful away.
