Magnificent even

I might move again. (Or not) (lemy.lol)

I moved from Lemmy.ml because I liked the name of Lemmy.world and it ran a newer Lemmy version which meant I could make communities. I moved from Lemmy.world because they defederated from piracy communities they didn’t even host (but for some reason still kept the small piracy community they DID host) From thelemmy.club...

Nice daily workout

Well, my Samsung “smart” tv starts playing other people’s streams. Tried dumbing down the piece of shit to absolute bottom (I have media connected via hdmi/usb/etc and am not using that ad-ridden OS), but it still lets others randomly connect. A decent manyport monitor will work just as fine, so that replacement will happen!

The best part of this? They know you inside out, what you watch and listen to, where and when, and then use it… to try to sell you stuff you already have.

nightwatch_admin ,

Yeah that’s annoying, I mean it’s not a good idea but it is a very old not good idea.

I wish for Lemmy Gold hoo boy

Great idea!

Wow, I started looong ago:

The IRL. pinball machine? Oh man that was my favourite!

nightwatch_admin ,

It does! The game is from ‘71; PCs really took off in the early 90s, but they started in ‘81: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PC_compatible

You’re not wrong.

Yeah, that was my first thought: Nice, Elon slapped a reverse proxy in front of OpenAI lmao

There is a different story here, hidden beneath the floor boards.

What is the thing that resembles a camera shoe under the handset holder found on telephones with a handset used for? (lemmy.world)

I have noticed phones with a handset (like the one in the image) have a little cover that resembles something like a cold camera shoe under the bottom of the handset’s top speaker holder. Is there a use for it? It has a line bump in the middle, but it doesn’t go all the way from both sides, it leaves a gap. I have also seem...

How oddly specific. Are you, perchance, afraid of garlic?

Physicists May Have Found a Hard Limit on The Performance of Large Quantum Computers (www.sciencealert.com)

A newly discovered trade-off in the way time-keeping devices operate on a fundamental level could set a hard limit on the performance of large-scale quantum computers, according to researchers from the Vienna University of Technology.

What is in this reply? Memmy shows a large black square (or possibly many empty lines). I’ve this with posts that existed of code (python/ruby/…) but what is here?

What’s funny - and worrying - is that China holds about a trillion of US debt. Imagine if they would start demanding that money back, that’s the kind of thing that starts world wars.

I’m missing comments, including my own so replying correctly is a but difficult. I want to say thanks for all the interesting comments, and it is definitely not as black and white as I thought!

nightwatch_admin ,

I think you wonder whether your PC can be connected directly to the internet. Yes, like every server, router, firewall, technically you can. You would need to set up your connection completely manually, as there is no one doing that for you.

However, connecting millions of people is an epic task in itself. You would need at least as many public IP addresses as consumers have devices, and find a way to drag ethernet cables over enormous distances… while these won’t exceed about iirc 120m until signal loss is killing the connection. Then you would need all those consumers to have intricate network knowledge too.

Hence why we’re modems that can use long distance connections (like DSL over phone lines), that can arrange internal network connectivity without you having any knowledge, and apply internal IP space instead of public. Also your ISP can apply efficient internal routing and even internal IP space to save on rare and expensive public space.

There is much more to this, but I wanted to keep it ELI5. HTH!

nightwatch_admin ,

Yes. In fact, that is what a server does. It is much like your PC, just heavily optimised for providing services (like websites) to many users. There is no modem between the server and the first router, just straight ip with the router as the default gateway.

    There’s one thing missing from your reply: the vpn provider knows who you are and what you are doing, so it’s not better than an isp - just a trust tradeoff.

    nightwatch_admin ,

    Exactly. And if you want to catch bad guys, you can build honeypot websites (or take over bad ones, like law enforcement did with several dark markets) and work on deanonimyzing visitors there.

    Well, mostly they are nowadays. Sure, there’s still old school forums and personal websites around but most people online interact via social media.

    For me, this is the real news:

    a shocking number of ads, rivaling network TV.

    Everyone being so shocked at Tiktok ads while they have been watching as many or even more ads via their daily TV sessions… for decades, and no one bats an eye at that?

    nightwatch_admin ,

    I said that no one seems to be shocked by the amount of ads on tv, while they are so shocked by the same amount on tiktok. Which I think is rather peculiar (or hypocritical). If that was not clear, then please accept my apologies.

    There would be so many memes never born

    nightwatch_admin ,

    Systemd haters? But seriously, this could well be because of business environments where applications require specific OS versions to keep being supported by the vendor. Or better: where the orchestration tool cannot be updated because of the old OSs while said OSs cannot be updated because it will break orchestration.

    This is why people love containers: you can run insecure software on insecure OS (component)s while pretending to be in control on your shiny Kubernetes cluster.

    While this is a good meme, it distracts from Leonard Nimoy’s own most fascinating musical career. I’ll leave it to you lurkers to discover that career all by yourselves.

    No, the idea is that bees are useful because pollinators, and honey.
    However, wasps may not be the friendliest creatures around, but they are certainly useful too - like cleaning up corpses, leftovers, and last but not least they eat insects that we think of as plagues

    As did I!
