Looks like brown and purple to me.

Edit: TIL. It reminds me of the Moor frog, which turns blue… ish when horny.

I don’t get it. What do you want to say?

Umm… and I’m lost. :)

hsdkfr734r ,

Tis a joke about color perception :)

OK. I suspected something like this.

to me, in the photo the eye does look like oversaturated blue (maybe due to blown out white around the eye)

Colour perception, different display… who knows. :)

hsdkfr734r ,

Thanks, I prefer Australia where only the plants and animals try to kill you.

Apocaclipse?

I know some of those words.

Hermit crabs … have adapted to occupy empty scavenged mollusc shells to protect their fragile exoskeletons.

the fucking Nobel Prize?!

No, the Ig Nobel Prize:

The Ig Nobel Prize monetary award is given in a solitary banknote for the amount of 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars ($0.40 USD)

hsdkfr734r , (edited )

The actual worth of the prize could be the publicity, to stand out and be recognizer as a scientist in a flood of publications. I’m just guessing.

hsdkfr734r ,

I’d like to have darkness during daytime. I’m not sure I would pay for it, but I’d like it very much.

hsdkfr734r ,

Witchcraft.

hsdkfr734r ,

Um. Let’s say, if you decided to google for duck’s penis, you’d be in for a surprise.

hsdkfr734r ,

Thanks. That swimming squid penis was news to me.

hsdkfr734r ,

or to attract mates.

Like a butterfly collection?

Wiggle your big toe… fin.

Placebos only work if the people think they’ll work. Funnily enough, it is possible to be aware something is a placebo and still expect it to work,

Even if you know that it is a placebo, it still works. hms.harvard.edu/…/placebos-work-even-without-dece…

I don’t know if you have to believe in the placebo effect for it to have an effect. :)

Homeopathy… do the sugar balls have a better effect if they are very expensive? Who knows.

hsdkfr734r ,

They shouldn’t play with our food. Food is not a toy.

hsdkfr734r ,

but looks like they don’t include a split spacebar, so not for me unfortunately.

You could split it yourself. It’s ceramics after all.

hsdkfr734r , (edited )

Well, if the billboard says so…

Nice picture though. :)

This has to be the most idiotic thing I read this week.

Landgericht Hamburg enters the room to agree with the plaintiff.

hsdkfr734r ,

The same applies for doping.

Professional sports aren’t healthy for the gladia… athletes, but maybe there are some lines which shouldn’t be crossed to prevent the worst?

hsdkfr734r ,

Who doesn’t. I’m sure he also consumed bread. (But I fail to see the connection with the case. )

Can an OS be bricked?:

A brick (or bricked device) is a mobile device, game console, router, computer or other electronic device that is no longer functional due to corrupted firmware, a hardware problem, or other damage.[1] The term analogizes the device to a brick’s modern technological usefulness.[2]

Edit: you may click the tiny down arrow if you think it can’t. ;)

hsdkfr734r ,

:) the hardware is still more capable than a brick:
Plug in favourite installation media stick, push reset button (if there is one), reinstall.

hsdkfr734r ,

Of course! It’s a can not a can’t.

hsdkfr734r ,

It’s not blank anymore, whether it was on porpoise or not.

hsdkfr734r ,

Whale… I wouldn’t know. :)

hsdkfr734r ,

Dark Reader Plugin already solved that issue.

hsdkfr734r , (edited )

Maybe. Does it make a big performance difference which css (dark reader or delivered by wiki) is used?

Is it known how the default to dark mode setting is persisted if let’s say a plugin removed all the Wikipedia cookies on window close? A get or post parameter?

Either way it’s a good thing that wiki offers a dark mode.

hsdkfr734r ,

lots of dom modifications

That’s good to know. These modifications are needed to replace the style sheet details, I guess?

passes around far too much data between processes.

What does this mean? Do you have a link where I could read up on the details? Thanks.

hsdkfr734r ,

Which Page?

hsdkfr734r ,

Elefants have them too!

I’m sure there is an exception for creatures made from fabric and foam, somewhere.

He could ask for clarification and discuss word definitions if the situation indicates a misunderstanding.

hsdkfr734r ,

I like your pitch black humour.

hsdkfr734r , (edited )

How?

Yes, if you push the circles down a bit, it forms a 7 by 7 matrix. But if pushing the circles into a square matrix is not allowed: how?

Edit: I get it now. It is about (efficient) packing not about counting. I also get the 4th panel now…

hsdkfr734r ,

Thanks. I thought it was about counting. It all makes a lot more sense now. (And it also doesn’t.)

Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?

I understand that people enter the world of self hosting for various reasons. I am trying to dip my toes in this ocean to try and get away from privacy-offending centralised services such as Google, Cloudflare, AWS, etc....

hsdkfr734r , (edited )

One aspect is how interesting you are as a target. What would a possible attacker gain by getting access to your services or hosts?

The danger to get hacked is there but you are not Microsoft, amazon or PayPal. Expect login attempts and port scans from actors who map out the internets. But I doubt someone would spend much effort to break into your hosts if you do not make it easy (like scripted automatic exploits and known passwords login attempts easy) .

DDOS protection isn’t something a tiny self hosted instance would need (at least in my experience).

Firewall your hosts, maybe use a reverse proxy and only expose the necessary services. Use secure passwords (different for each service), add fail2ban or the like if you’re paranoid. Maybe look into MFA. Use a DMZ (yes, VLANs could be involved here). Keep your software updated so that exploits don’t work. Have backups if something breaks or gets broken.

In my experience the biggest danger to my services is my laziness. It takes steady low level effort to keep the instances updated and running. (Yes there are automated update mechanisms - unattended upgrades i.e. -, but also downwards compatibility breaking changes in the software which will require manual interactions by me.)

Godfather says: be careful what you wish for.

hsdkfr734r ,

In my opinion it is its limited suitability for (my) common image editing needs. I.e. add a white text with black border to an image.

But these are my requirements. The developers don’t have to cater to them if they don’t want to. I in turn can decide to not use the program or add the features I would like to see myself (It’s the former for me).

That is the way it is.

Edit: The name gimp was never an issue for me. There are far worse.

hsdkfr734r ,

Your tent? It’s Kyras tent for the time being. I’m sorry.

hsdkfr734r ,

Good.

Now repeat it with an ingrown nail.

hsdkfr734r ,

Even partially resorbed earth crust/ ingrown nail? Maybe. :)

hsdkfr734r ,

I think that he should have avoided the interaction with musk, if he planned to convince Musk of something.

If he planned to educate the general public, his approach is totally fine, though.

hsdkfr734r ,

I’m not sure what you mean. The act is the same but the intention of it differs imo. Do you want to elaborate on the topic?

hsdkfr734r ,

Thank you for the clarification. These points are indeed very similar to my thoughts (but I wouldn’t have been able to describe it so to the point. )

I like to think I managed to represent the Musk-like interaction in my previous reply; responding to your well built message with a snarky comment. Although, I think, I went too far with the dual interpretations.

I didn’t get that. So this part needed some explaining for me.

Why is your reply being down-voted

Maybe it is because I missed the sarcasm/ humour in your response. It’s hard to know if it isn’t written down as a response. :)
