I've gone back to Blu-Ray for some things because I no longer trust streaming sites to keep them available.

Long Live the (5YL) Legion

Looks like it is available for free, but you get a really awkward username. I just enabled it on an old WP.com blog that I have on a free account and while @[email protected] works (I was able to subscribe to it from both Mastodon and GoToSocial), it's a bit unwieldy.

Apparently not anymore. I have a free account on WordPress.com and I just turned it on like you said.

Same here. I have a few applications that I had to specifically turn on Wayland support for (Thunderbird & Vivaldi, for instance), and a lot that work just fine, and the ones I have issues with are mostly the X-only apps running on Xwayland, which tend to be less stable than they were directly under X, but there are only a few that I still use.

^&@% Private equity again...

Political organizing is a great example of something that shouldn't be owned by this kind of firm.

(Followed by every other kind of organization. The concept of treating "business" as a set of interchangeable parts that move money in and out of opaque boxes and not actually focusing on what they do and why is massively broken IMO)

OK, I like the comment here wondering about the thermometer's range: "things with an interesting temperature are generally uncomfortable to hold your hand next to. I'm sure there will be at least one support call because someone tries to measure fire from 1 inch away."

When someone named Kafka says it's the "weirdest"...that says something!

I learned the term "glass cliff" when she was hired.

The rest of the page? Probably. I stopped reading after the comic.

I have a single Raspberry Pi 3b as a local file/media server running Jellyfin. I'm also running BOINC and seeding torrents of various Linux distributions. External HDD for storage, plus a thumb drive for the local media and another for the torrents so it only has to spin up when someone's actually using it.

It's not super-fast by any means, but it's fast enough to listen to music over my LAN, which is the main thing I need it to do quickly. Though eventually I plan on setting up a better NAS on something with faster I/O.

I was a fan of the Wolfman/Perez #NewTeenTitans run back in the day, and never got around to watching the #Titans TV series. With streaming services dropping shows left and right, I wonder if I should take the opportunity to watch it before it disappears.

 

I know Steam on Linux uses a Wine environment to run Windows games, but I was recently reminded that you can run the Windows version of Steam in a Wine bottle. Is there any advantage to doing it this way instead of running the Linux client with Proton?

 

TL;DR: People working in the office tend to get complacent and take more risks, figuring that IT is taking care of security, while people working from home know it's up to them.

Help Test ClassicPress v2.0 (forums.classicpress.net)
submitted 1 year ago by KelsonV to c/wordpress
 

ClassicPress was originally a fork of WordPress from right before the block editor was added. The community voted to re-fork version 2.0 off of the latest WordPress, removing the block editor and full-site editing. The 2.0 nightly releases are ready for testing!

CS Conference Location and Inclusion (jonathanaldrich.github.io)

Key takeaway: "I believe that going forward, the ACM, IEEE, and other organizations in Computer Science should not plan conferences in locations with laws that threaten the safety of the members of our community–whether transgender or otherwise."
