That sounds like it was a DVD image that was mostly empty space, so any compression tool would have been able to save space. But yes, 7z is still impressive.

I also vouch for GL.inet routers, they also have a 5th gigabit port that was nice to have since all 4 of the ones on my old router were full.

Not really. Android lacks a comprehensive full-system backup option like iOS has. It’s one of my biggest gripes about the OS. Best you can do is a cloud backup, which only saves certain apps’ data like games.

I mean… No? We had plagiarism checkers long before these AI checkers, and the latter very specifically advertises that it’s meant to detect if an LLM generated the text, not whether it’s original text. Completely different tools with different purposes.

Cause it is. Em-dash in the title and words that are bold for no reason? Clear signs the post was made with an LLM.

If anyone’s curious:

Also, TrueNAS loads entirely into RAM upon boot, meaning the SSD will only be used once when the computer is powered on. So apart from that few seconds, there won’t be any additional power draw from the SSD.

I don’t see a fundamental reason why this couldn’t exist, because in principle it would be a pretty straightforward thing to implement. It sounds like what you’re asking for is essentially a low-pass filter for the brightness of the entire screen (or, more specifically, a filter for each color channel so that blue can be filtered more than red or green)

I think the largest barrier to making something like that would be graphics APIs, as you’d need to read/buffer the entire screen and then apply the filter to every pixel. It would also probably make videos and motion look weird. But, I don’t see why it couldn’t be done.

I cannot recall a single self-hosted software documentation that mentions how to keep the docker config file up to date. Why bother wasting 5 seconds writing such an unhelpful comment

Wanna provide any examples of that happening anywhere at any appreciable scale?

Cause there’s no user data stored on EFI, and saying “almost-full-disk-except-for-the-EFI-partition-encryption” is a bit cumbersome and, obviously, pedantic.

That “jackass” sounds like an AI training set scraper. They’re known for being incredibly brutal to the sites they scrape, ignoring robots.txt and other honor-based systems for preventing the site from getting overloaded.

Using a few anti-static bags inside one another doesn’t block 100% of signals but it cuts range down by a lot. But also, if you’re looking for this high of a security level, wouldn’t it be easier to just find a phone with a removable battery?

I don’t think it’s unspecified, it’s to keep weeds away. Using weed killing chemicals to kill off any plants in your field apart from the specially-weed-killer-resistant crops is super common in agriculture, and is terrible for the environment.

You seem to be against the idea of growing rice in flooded fields, can I ask why? It’s not like this is in some places like California that’s in constant drought.

If you’re only going to use it from within your own LAN, then no, you don’t need a static public address

I mean, as far as I know, DNS is decentralized. Anyone can host their own DNS server, or change which server their network/device uses. Google’s is just very commonly used because 8.8.8.8 is easy to remember, but there are thousands of others run by entities big and small, and there’s nothing stopping you from running your own (assuming you manage to get a hold of a static IPv4)

Funny enough, Usenet is still around too, it’s used as an alternative to BitTorrent for sharing pirated stuff.

Do you have a static IP address? CG-NAT has done a really great job of hindering torrents, since my understanding is that at least one side of the connection needs to have an open port. So, if you don’t, then only the few people who do are able to download from you, which can make it seem like no one wants your stuff.

Ive never had to download a codec to use VLC, it should come built-in with every codec you may reasonably encounter on commercial DVDs.

I have the same problem with CloudFlare’s 1.1.1.1. Are the two services related? I also remember the same issue going on with archive.is
