After watching the clause-by-clause hearing, it is apparent that Bill S-209 is not a bill primarily focused on pornography sites. If it was, it could be drafted with those directly in mind. Rather, it is a trojan horse online harms bill targeting social media.

The next step is electron-lile apps that use WebView on the target rather than shipping and run a whole browser. Playing with Tauri right now but every stack has its own version of it.

480 M needles were launched into space in the early 60s to facilitate global radio comm. They were supposed to fall back but some clumped together. 44 clumps are still tracked today.

After trying the usual suspects I find tio to be the simplest serial terminal for a Linux terminal. Uses sane defaults, doesn't muck with colours, sends \n, easy to get out, never stayed hung.

They probably want this, because they think they are the good guys on the good side. Some probably hope to get jobs as federal goons.

Had missing wifi drivers on a new ethernet-less laptop, it turns out USB tethering from Android to Linux works well. Plug it in, enable USB tether on the phone and the connection just shows up.

TIL Debian, Ubuntu etc... tend to use http instead of https for their repo servers as it is much easier to cache.

If you have multiple Debian or Ubuntu nodes on your network, look into apt-cacher-ng and auto-apt-proxy!

googleflights, expedia etc… should add an option to switch to a 24 hour clock regardless of the language used. 12 hour clock is so confusing when trying to book flights, especially if they arrive and depart on a different day.

Do you use incognito windows?
Do you know if:
• your ISP has enabled IPv6
• your device uses IPv6
• your device uses IPv6 temporary addresses
Do you realise that with IPv6 the ip address (temporary or not) is unique to your device and the same for incognito windows as every other connection?

Razor had been failing for a while—yet the provincial pension manager AIMCO, which had recently been given control over many public sector pensions, kept investing in them, even going as far as to set up an obscured holding company to funnel more money into it.

Why do some laptop manufacturers switch the Fn and Ctrl keys positions every generation? Same model, same size, new gen, 💥 keys are switched. This is driving me crazy.
