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.

"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 itβs a good opportunity to take a little time once more to muse over whatβs new, whatβs old and whatβs been forgotten in another decade of the Internetβs 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!

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.

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.
