I've seen some routers that will just silently redirect anything on port 53 to their own idea of the best dns server to use. That would probably "fix" this problem, but I always thought it was a little shady to redirect stuff like that. Makes troubleshooting problems difficult if you don't know it is happening.
I mean json might not be the best example since for a long time people would run json through a javascript engine to parse it but I can see your point.
I mean I disable javascript embedded in pdf and feel like it would have been better to not have that feature. It would spare people from the invoice.pdf email attachment viruses because most people had assumed pdf isn't going to be as bad as an exe.
calling it garbage seems kinda harsh, but I think they are moving more to using a javascript rendering method instead of xul. I remember reading about it a while back. I don't really like it either and one of the first updates from back then broke a lot of UI that had been working ok. I am not really sure what the problems are with working with xul though, but I think firefox moved off it a long time ago too. I feel like thunderbird's user base is more the type to want to use thunderbird because it runs like a local first desktop style app as an alternative to using a web interface to their email. At least that's what I like about it.
Sometimes its nice to have a history like that because then maybe you are thinking of trying the thing they tried that wouldn't work and it would save you some time trying it if you can tell from those commits that it didn't work.
This saved us a couple times. At least until I had time to add monitoring to their old system to track disk usage. It was also helpful to use a tool called ncdu. It helps you visualize where most disk space is getting used up to track down the problem.
I feel like its because other than the user, the people involved have a benefit to running native instead of as a webapp. The phone OS companies get their percent of apps developed in their stores and the app developers get better access to your data to resell. Apple in particular has been really hostile to webapps.
There might have been a budget surplus but we were still in debt.

Here they show the debt increasing through the 90s but by less than most other decades. I don't know if it takes into account inflation though so maybe that would have made the debt have less value. Seems like they didn't use any of the surplus to pay off the debt.
Adobe added embedded javascript to pdfs. Its an option to turn it off but its enabled by default. I turned mine off a long time back and never notice any problems but I don't use a lot of pdfs with interactive forms.
This is cool. I did something similar at my work using smokeping and the #@vtext.com to send the texts.
It does seem like they have destroyed most of the competition. I was frustrated with the ad-blocking the other day and looking for a video but the whole first page of links was all youtube. I guess that's why they are starting to crack down on adblockers since people don't have as many other places to go now.
I mean I don't know if I would say the land is just abandoned. Some farmland that people let go back to forest can also have the trees harvested from it periodically so its still productive in another way. The land can still be valuable.
It's kinda ironic to post that on a site that uses var in its javascript
I always though something like ublock origin should be built in with a standard format for the block list rules so people could just use different rules lists if they wanted to.
It would be nice to have a feature for enable/disable javascript per site also.
The NOAA has an api here:

It's free to use, but they have rate limits. I was always wanting to set up something like that too, but I never got around to it.
They don't mention any extra costs for people to manage the on premise setup. I mean its probably still a savings for them but it seems weird to leave that out.
yeah, its pretty cool how most of these photos they were trying to take a picture of something else and the red sprites just happened to be in the right place because of a storm front moving in.
Here's an article with some pictures in case anyone else was curious about red sprites like I was.

Probably not for live shared audio/video
Hezbollah has been warning its members not to use cell phones because they get targeted by using them too. Seems like the pagers were supposed to be the workaround for that.
On their site they say it can run at 220V 15A if you got that.
I thought SUSE had a desktop version. They used to sell it at places like walmart back when you'd get linux on cd/dvd media, but its been a long time since I've seen that. There is also stuff like PopOS that comes on System76 computers or PureOS for Purism/Librem computers.
Lockheed Martin is working on a SR-72 concept plane
Yeah, banks try and encourage overdraws because they make a bunch of fees off them. I remember reading about some of them getting in trouble for reordering same day deposits in a way to maximize the overdraw fees.

Seems like microsoft is getting put into the headlines because the Crowdstrike versions for mac and linux aren't affected. Plus Crowdstrike has a history of pushing people onto microsoft tech support when their software causes problems.
It seems like their criteria for quality of life are poorly chosen if Texas is the worst quality of life state and is also the one with the most people moving to it.
I read somewhere else that it was an iphone
I've also been looking at palemoon and midori, but not for sure yet on them. It just seems like firefox has reached a point where it's not going to get any better.
