According to Guinness World Records, the first person charged with speeding was Walter Arnold from Paddock Wood, Kent. On 28 January 1896, Arnold was seen going 4 times the allowed 2 mph speed limit in his Benz. The constable pursued him on his bicycle, issuing a ticket for £4 7s (roughly £260 in today’s money), of which 10...

Do I need a 3rd party website like Strawpoll to do polls? If so, which one do you think would be the best for polls for music (maybe something that plays a sample of the song?)

I’m a big gameboy person despite never owning an actual game boy, I just like the games from there more then modern games. Started playing the Pokemon series for the first time, starting with Blue....

The title says it all. If qubits can be in the position of a 1 and 0, why can’t multiple computers using 1s and 0s accomplish the same thing?

Brought to you by my discovery that some people think that “the customer is always right” isn’t the slogan of a long-dead department store, but rather it’s an actual call the cops law.

Given the recent attack, I think this is a good opportunity to remind of the importance of using 2FA....

Looking for a new printer. My new HP Inkjet is a piece of fucking garbage and I’m going to smash it to pieces in my driveway....

Hi everyone! Yesterday I bought Hearts of Iron 4 on Steam but it didn’t run at all on wayland. I tried using Proton Experimental, Proton GE latest, Proton 8.0.2 but none worked (even though on ProtonDB people say it works with proton 8.0.2). Then I switched to Xorg (which I never use and I would like not to), and it suddenly...

Hi! I used to run Plex and forward a port through my vpn so I could access the service outside my network, like on vacation. This meant I could keep my vpn on and still access my content. I use Cloudflared to access other services in this way....

Something for everyone means that someone will hate something.

In the last year or so I started to see so many people of my age that have done truly incredible things and still doing more....

Can I do what the title said? It could be useful when I’m on a sketchy WiFi. I’m asking as I’m already using ZeroTier to access my home server and this could be another nice use.

Why am I signed out every time I open this? Why can I hardly post anything anywhere? It’s like a dice roll.

Hi,...

I really don’t have a lot of background on cluster munitions; it only really came into my perception in response to the controversy over the US providing them to Ukraine. As I understand it, the controversy is because they often don’t all explode reliably, and unexploded munitions can then explode months or years later when...

So, I have some idea on what a reverse proxy does and will be using nginx (with the neat proxy manager UI) for my setup....

I’m fearful of people going redditZero and deleting their years-old accounts, as reddit has become a vast trove of information for a vast number of systems. If I go dark and delete, it won’t be everything. Memes and regular conversations may go, but I’ll be sure to leave every technical response I’ve ever given (or even...

I reckon it’s Anne Robinson. Fight me.

Greetings from Finland! I got my vasectomy yesterday at the age of 30. Starting from that age a Finn can get sterilized with just the approval of the doctor that’s going to perform that surgery. That procedure was a huge relief in my life. It may sound weird to some but I rejected all kinds of intimate interest from women...

Bands suggestions too, curious what folks are into!

Howdy everyone, For the past few years I’ve been trying to find a more Photoshop-like photo editor for my phone. Most editors I’ve come across focus on adjusting filters/saturation/brightness–do any of you know of a photo editor that does more collaging/composting (i.e. layers/text/effects)?

On windows, everybody uses afterburner to overclock/undervolt....
