The last time Biden even tried to delay sending weapons to Bibi, the republicans threatened to impeach and pass laws to go around him just to get it out there. You’re targeting the wrong group.

Once you set it up, it’s fairly low maintenance. I’ve got one setup at my parents house with a cron job set to auto update blocking lists and software. The hardest part is finding the right combo of lists that block everything you don’t want but allow what you do.

The Pi it’s on also has plenty of power for a vpn server as well so I can hop into their network when they have issues or to do data syncing.

And yeah, I’ve brought it up with security and they’re thinking about network level blocking. They don’t like browser plugins that basically need access to inspect content on every single web page you crawl. Who knows what data might leak.

Oooh,ooh! Now do Israel!

It’s on YouTube, broadcast tv, and I unfortunately can’t run adblockers at my job. At home I’ve got a pihole that works wonders. It’s amazing how horrible things are when I’m not behind it.

Cool, can I stop seeing commercials for it now? My God the media blitz is everywhere!

I, and my family, definitely enjoyed the Wild Robot, solid film. I seriously hope they get to do the sequel (it’s based on a book series).

I still don’t know how people manage to fray those things. I used my 2013 for 10 yrs and the cable is still like new. They’re built pretty well. However, I do appreciate that the new ones are just usbc cables that plug into the brick so you can swap the cable if it does start to wear. Or so you can use MagSafe cables on non-apple power supplies.

Why does NK hate the ocean so much? They keep launching rockets at it like it killed their dog or something. I can’t wait for the day the ocean retaliates against them.

I’m going to have to add this to my toolkit.

However:

As a fork of 32-bit MenuetOS back in 2004, KolibriOS has since followed its own course, sticking to the x86 codebase and requiring only a modest system with an i586-compatible CPU, 8 MB of RAM and VESA-compatible videocard.

Does anyone know of an i486-SX compatible at least semi-modern linux distro? I’ve got a 486 with a 5.25” and 3.5” drive and I really want to be able to image some of the 5.25” disks I have laying around before more bit rot occurs.

Anyone self host this? Especially in Kubernetes? Seems pretty interesting and it’s already containerized.

By “screen time” the article seems to assume the only thing they’re doing on their screens is social media. I had to check as if it was really just screens for more than 4hrs, that’s an interesting stat I hadn’t heard, but could make some sense. However, that’s not it. So doing things like content creation (drawing, writing, photography) reading or learning, aren’t counted in this study.

 

On a large empty slab of asphalt, two BMWs take off. They drive in figure eights and along an oval path separate from each other but nearly in tandem, like two ice skaters practicing the same routine on a piece of black ice before coming to a stop.

Neither of the cars has a driver. That's not that impressive; self-driving cars in testing environments shouldn't impress anyone at this point. Essentially the automaker tells the car to drive a route, and it does it. The important thing here is why these cars, outfitted with additional sensors, are driving along the same route again and again, each time depressing the accelerator the same amount and applying the exact amount of pressure on the brakes: They're testing hardware with the least amount of variables you can encounter outside of a lab.

"It's boring for human drivers," says BMW's project lead for driverless development, Philipp Ludwig. When a human is asked to perform the exact same task repeatedly, the quality of the work diminishes as they lose interest or become fatigued. For a computer-controlled car, it can do this all day. And it has done exactly that.

 

Four years from now, if all goes well, a nuclear-powered rocket engine will launch into space for the first time. The rocket itself will be conventional, but the payload boosted into orbit will be a different matter.
