hey y'all, reminder: The ArchiveTeam needs your help right now to rescue photos from 500px, who are pulling an Our Incredible Journey after being bought by getty. If you can run a VM, you can help out, and every IP helps! https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=500px
@smallsees typically it would be the former, but this is for a game company looking to add some to help tell a story to some rules.
Hey @aparrish I just read an article about J.M. Coetzee and thought he did stuff like you show here sometimes.
Getting an Atlas 2 to write lines like Pablo Neruda in the 60s for example.
A poet and programmer, it's an interesting combination.

I missed it because it was a week ago, but
Happy 100th birthday to the flip-flop. Invented in June 1918. The original was a fine balancing act of high variability resistors and then-new unreliable valves.
This circuit is used in pretty much any electronic system there is and was also used in the first and all subsequent computers.

Before I head to bed:
"Another 10 Years Later" by Geoff Huston
"Ten years ago, I wrote an article[0] that looked back on the developments within the Internet over the period from 1998 to 2008. Well another ten years has gone by, and it’s a good opportunity to take a little time once more to muse over what’s new, what’s old and what’s been forgotten in another decade of the Internet’s evolution."

BTW, the WordPress vulnerability I am talking about is this one:

Post has a temporary patch but I am hesitant to recommend any one hot patch WordPress core files unless they are a high-value target and have PHP developers who can troubleshoot issues arising from that fix. The authors of that post are of the same opinion.

I wrote a tl;dr post on Patreon about the tools I've been using to make art and levels for my game. It's a public post, so you don't have to be a patron to read it.
Perhaps it might be interesting to someone out there :'D
No luck last time, so asking again: Anyone who knows of an instance with focus on food? :) @Gargron , maybe you know? :)
adding a new NPM module to a project
I always knew that #xss bugs in #wordpress for example were bad. I'm reading the web application hackers handbook and it explains what you can do with it.
A good explanation and yeah it's bad.
What are some good ways to put Netflix on a telly? Currently using a PS3 and I'd like to move it to a different room.
I considered an Amazon stick, but I think you have to have the (more expensive) one with an Alexa remote, and I don't want that.
I might get a Chromecast but I'd have to check that my family's tablets would work on it (also Bro1 has an iPad, not an Android).
I like the idea of a Raspberry Pi but it's hard to find tutorials I can understand.
We're back!
In case you are wondering why we'd disable #HyperThreading on a server, check out the #OpenBSD commit message https://www.mail-archive.com/source-change[email protected]/msg99141.html
Or the article by El Reg: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/06/20/openbsd_disables_intels_hyperthreading/
I'm Speculating(tm), but expect further news about problems in those areas...
I wondered why Chrome wouldn't work on my computer after it runs the first time. It has a strange dependency in that it needed gnome-keyring to start.

Thought my Mastodon instance was having problems until I checked my internet connection.
This is what Internet looks like in the suburbs in a major Australian city.😢
New article: "Fallout 4 and the Newbie Problem" https://aurigaplatform.pw/fallout-4-and-the-newbie-problem/
In which I go into detail about the various issues I ran into playing my first ever serious game of Fallout and the ways that Fallout 4 is badly designed for new players.

"Oh hi neighbor! Uhm, don't mind me. I'm not crazy, even though I appear to be smashing the sidewalk with this sledgehammer. There's a hard drive platter there! Hence the bell noise! I do computer things where security matters sometimes...!"

"... honestly, this is normal behavior, I promise!!!"
