Everything old, is new again.
Everything old, is new again.
My stylist just got seven baby chicks and was startled that they seemed to be developing distinct personalities. “I thought chickens were, ya know, just chickens”.
Link to original study cited by article.
Heh. My JHS Science Teacher knew how to fuck up experiments. His demonstration of a chemical reaction, with sodium and water, was quite explosive.
‘s a long read. Here’s the intro blurb:
An investigative data journalist and a former tech lawyer teach you how to spot tricks and hidden disclosures within these interminable documents—and even how to claw back some privacy By Jon Keegan and Jesse Woo
Gonna dive in and see what nuggets of wisdom they offer.
Holeeeshit! All that from an accelerometer?
Yes. The magnets are ridiculously strong. Several hold screen in place on my heat exchanger, to keep leaves and lawn debris at bay.
Haven’t figured out a good use for the platters, but skeet shooting has crossed my mind.
If the self hosted option doesn’t pan out, would suggest iMazing.
They have an MDM now and their previous versions for personal use were superb, versus iTunes.
Rest in peace tiny droid, you will be missed.
The lifetime license is definitely declining in value.
In your case prevention of DDOS via VPN guides your decisions and legit VPN users are collateral damage.
I understand your position, and as you say, no data is sold, so no real harm.
Perhaps banks are the same way.
But out of the ones I have to deal with, only one makes me drop the VPN for access. /smh
Seeing “security companies” tagging VPN IP blocks as sus, is becoming all too common; just like ad blockers are being banned.
They wanna know who you are, where you’ve been, what you’re doing and how you’re doing it…AT.ALL.TIMES.dammit!
Salts as thruster fuel, now that’s outside the box.
Thanks for the info, may look into it further.
The subscription model is a wee bit off putting. I employ old hardware and don’t wish to be frog marched into an update/grade that could break that.
Have seen it happen before, been in IT too fucking long not to.
I pay $15/mo and w/ rollover gigs always have plenty. If you’re looking for obscure or D/C’d content, it’s damn well worth it.
Was able to score a Nordic comedy series for a co-worker that couldn’t be found elsewhere.
Also, content you sideload from USENET doesn’t disappear at the whim of a corporation, or due to licensing shenanigans. Just sayin’.
Paid services have consolidated to a great degree. But I’ve been a long time Easynews subscriber.
They have decent retention, good completion, and are johnny-on-the-spot re. DMCA requests.
Their real claim to fame is an easy to use browser based front end, so no third party client hassles and it works on mobile.
That said, MUCH has changed since the 90s, i.e. encrypted posts, the USENET hierarchy is largely broken and good luck finding any current text discussion (looking at you, Adobe, ya skeevy fucks).
Should you want more, this is a good guide. https://www.cogipas.com/how-to-use-usenet/

Wow! 161 of them! Did not know they did that, thanks 🙏🏻
Suggest subscribing to a premium USENET server.
The pebbles? I think they’re called Starlink, or something.
