No weapons

RightHandOfIkaros , to nostupidquestions in Potential downsides of buying a brand new soft-unlocked (carrier-unlocked) phone?

If it’s stolen, that’s a downside. If it was actually carrier unlocked versus some guy did it and said it was, could you trust they didn’t put anything else on the phone? How is the sellers reputation?

pivot_root , to technology in Student dorm does not allow wifi routers

You shall not use or attempt to use a device or software (such as NAT, Address Masquerading, Proxying, or the connection of an additional wireless router) that would allow you to connect more than the number of devices set out in the Service Information to the Network.

One of the ways they detect this is by checking the TTL of the packets coming from the “one” device is less than expected. If your router is using OpenWrt, you can configure an iptables rule to reset the TTL of outgoing packets to the default.

sparr , to showerthoughts in There is no history on the History channel. There's nothing true on TruTV. There's no music on music television. There's no science on the science channel.

The Learning Channel changed their name to TLC when they stopped carrying educational content.

TheOubliette , to asklemmy in Why does it seem the world is all of a sudden concerned about sexual orientation? Especially America. Did I miss how far we came as a society to see it take a 40 year step backwards?

The forces of reaction never went away, they just weren’t as narketable for a few years, there. Companies are trying to increase their marketshare among bigots while also not alienating the people that don’t hate gay people. So you get pinkwashed corporate logos and genocide along with cancelled gay shows and an increase in false history nouveau Westerns.

LarmyOfLone , to piracy in What is the best service to host a piracy resources list?

What I think is missing is a kind of signed database version control system. So you make a list of data (maybe just a markdown table) and you sign it wiht a private key and put that in a DHT / distributed hashtable. Then people can use that and you can update the database / list. People can also fork this list, add their own stuff and distribute it as their own and signed with their own private key. And you could have pull requests and merge back good additions. All without requiring proper servers but possibly benefiting from being hosted on a seedbox.

And of course a simple client to find and view such lists.

Ideally you’d have some template that describes typical metadata for a kind of distribute movie database, but also books, subtitles, songs, albums, articles, scientific papers, fonts. But you can also fork the templates and extend them. So you might have a perfectly legit open source database of movies with links to what legit streaming service is selling it, and then an extra template that extends that with magnet releases.

I have never seen something like this though, my puny brain has trouble imagining the technical hurdles. Maybe this could just be done with a simple version control system client. I think torrent V2 also has some extensions that allow update-able torrents (which some FUD confused with this being the default). Or maybe it’s that proper web pages allow people to make money through advertising.

saltesc , to science_memes in Seriously.

When having a beer, I’ve always found it funny that one of the few imperial measurements metric nations kept around, the pint, America went and invented their own. Uncharacteristically a smaller version too.

Zwiebel ,

The US has their own version of all the imperial units. Also who uses pints except the Brits?

RecluseRamble ,

India, I think. But that’s the Brits’ fault too obviously.

voracread ,

We don’t use pint here. We have some traditional measures that have different absolute values depending on location. We are almost totally metric here.

RecluseRamble ,

I could’ve sworn I once had a pint but it was in a hotel lobby in Bangalore so not quite representative. I stand corrected, thanks.

uienia ,

Metric nations havent kept the pint

pingveno ,

I just started looking up the different ways to order beers. Wow. Even if it’s based on the metric system, each country really did go and reinvent the wheel.

boonhet ,

They haven’t, but some still sell beer by pints. I can go to a store right now (well not right now, it’s past 10 PM) and buy a pint sized beer and a 0.5l beer from the same company.

Every time I hear, “pint” I think of Pippin saying, “they come in pints?!”

Puttaneska ,

Yes, I think the US pint is 16 Oz (2 cups), whereas the UK pint is 20 Oz (4 gills).

@MSugarhill@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

So, here in good ol Austria, when we go to an US/UK/Irish pub and order a pint we always get 0,5L and for a 1/2 pint we get 0,33L.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Are half pints half the price of pints? I smell arbitrage.

Undearius ,
@Undearius@lemmy.ca avatar

America didn’t really invent their own volume of measurements, they just didn’t keep up.

They used what the British used, then separated from Britain, and didn’t update the units when Britain did.
