In maybe third grade I brought my collection of x-men trading cards as part of a sort of show and tell activity. It was in a sizable three-ring binder with those 3x3 slot cars sheets. I had a number of highly valued “foil/hologram” cards. The binder was gone when I got back from lunch. I was devastated and learned to never leave anything of value not locked up if I’m not watching it.
At work we have a kitchen/break room. I’ve had shit stolen from there a lot. Utensils, cups, bowls. Wash it after lunch, put it in the drying rack, come back in an hour to get it and it’s gone. Once my department had a leftover pizza from an event donated to us. I brought in a baking sheet to reheat it in the oven for a lunch morale boost for the team because we had to work that weekend. The sheet, left in a drawer and not visible to any casual observers, was gone by Monday. That was actually the first item I’d had stolen there but I thought I was just s fluke.
I’ve literally bought upgrades and utensil sets for the kitchen (maybe people “stealing” my utensils just forgot to bring a fork, borrowed mine, and brought it home by accident?). Stuff like drying towels, soap dispensers + large refill bottles, a microwave food cover… all stolen. I’d keep getting frustrated with, for example, people leaving the sponge wet in the sink. I’d think “its been a year since I last donated something, maybe it’ll be different this time…” and I’d buy an OXO sponge holder or something and within a week it would be gone. Everyone in my office, including secretaries and cleaning staff, gets paid at least a living wage with great health benefits. Some make well over 100k. I just imagine someone making twice my salary seeing a nice soap dispenser and taking it home… lost a good bit of faith in humanity and affected me way more than it should have.
I found a solution though. Whoever was stealing this shit couldn’t deal with the shame of being reminded that they stole it. I started labeling the donated items using my organization’s acronym with a permanent marker in big visible letters. None of that’s been stolen. I was going to engrave my utensils/dishes but decided instead to look like an asshole and bring my own towel when washing my dishes, drying them immediately, and taking them back to my desk immediately.
I mean seriously! I can’t really understand why people must have such polarized and toxic reaction over some art performance. I get that this may not be for everyone, but just like the movies series before had mixed reaction, this live action Smurf Musical will find his fan base in time…
CSV are a cool concept. Not so much any standard but rather a text doc where values are separated by commas. Sometimes banks use them and its hell to format them for Excel. Sometimes its just a list of readable words and values.
I had to build a Twitch Bot to add banned words in a CSV to a black list a while back, wish they would just let you copy paste like YT does.
CentOS 7, released with Linux 3, only went out of support a month ago.
Expect to see it pop up everywhere the coming five to six years. The sort of people who still run CentOS generally aren’t the sort of people who upgrade their software unless they absolutely have to. It’s like those ATMs running that obscure version of Windows XP and 7 (although the Windows 7 Embedded release will still receives updates for a few more months)), you deploy an OS onto them, kill any accessible port you can find, and just let it do it’s thing for a couple of years.
The only reason the DOS POS systems are being phased out is that the hardware they run on can no longer be replaced easily, and even then Dosbox is sometimes used to run POS software.
What is the risk if it's all on a closed internal network? You can safely run Windows 98 as long as you're very careful about what goes in and out at your gateway.
Commerical networks tend to be a bit more robust than Joe Schmoe's basement router. It's a giant pain to keep up with each and every update on everything a store uses (not just self checkouts, things like CCTV systems, HVAC monitoring, electronic signage like smart screens, etc.) so usually it's all controlled at the network level.
I install CCTV, I guarantee you more than three quarters of the DVRs and PoE cameras I install never get updated and are "set and forget". I've pulled out 10-15 year old cameras still with original firmware in giant national chain stores when they do refreshes of their infrastructure.
I stole some beers at a party once. A friend and I weren’t feeling the vibe, took a few bottles and went somewhere else. I feel bad about it, he was a good dude and didn’t deserve that.
I got trashed at my 23rd birthday party a friend threw at her house. It was mostly people she knew, but as I was passed out someone stole my wallet.
My brother stole quite a bit from me during the height of his addiction. He’s been clean for several years now though. I’m glad I’ve got him back.
Oh, and in elementary school when they were at the height of their popularity I had one of my holographic Charizards stolen. Dunno who took it, someone had a come up.
This is a different type of AI that doesn’t have as many consumer facing qualities.
The ones that are being pushed now are the first types of AI to have an actually discernable consumer facing attribute or behavior, and so they’re being pushed because no one wants to miss the boat.
They’re not more profitable or better or actually doing anything anyone wants for the most part, they’re just being used where they can fit it in.
sudo-flix, piracy app hosted on github. Probably will be taken down like popcorn time, that nintendo emulator, and a bunch of other things. Wouldn’t surprise me if they ended up on radicle, or codeberg, or I2P or something…
Yes its sudo-flix, a piracy app hosted on github. It probably wil indeedl be taken down like popcorn time, that nintendo emulator, and a bunch of other things. Wouldn’t surprise you if they ended up on radicle, or codeberg, or I2P or something? I agree.

I would go with Gitea or Forgejo (not sure how this is going to last) if you need a complete experience like a WebUI, issues, PR, roles and whatnot.
If you’re looking for just a git server then gitolite is very good and solid option. The cool thing about this one is that you create your repositories and add users using a repository inside the thing itself :).
Then you can use any Windows GUI you would like like Fork, SourceTree, your IDE etc…
I’m tempted to make an alt for this but whatever let’s go. Years ago when I was 14 or 15 I had an older online boyfriend buy me a vibrator. Never really got to use it as I was too inexperienced.
I had stashed it under my bed in a bag for a portable DVD player. Anyway I come home from school one day and the manual for the DVD player in sitting on my bed. I check, the bag is gone.
Nothing else of value is gone but 2 aa batteries from my Xbox controller and only one of two from the family remote. The vibrator used 3 batteries. So some freak stole my vibrator with plans of using it.
