Cool display!

Small feature idea: "find my ip" which zooms to/selects the apparent ip of the current visitor.

It is common for flights to have gaps in live data for portions of Aus<->NZ flights over the Tasman sea, yes.

The latter is surely Kerbal Space Program.

The 'o' is a head and the '7' is an arm giving a salute.

In the article it's said the proposal already included 160 plants in a big ring around yellowstone, resulting in the 16,000 years figure.

So to get it down to 100 years you'd need 160^2 = 25,600 geothermal plants.

Perfectly reasonable, let's do it.

Until extremely recently, they did offer exactly such a service, though only in a handful of markets (mine was one). They called it Premium Lite.

It was exactly what you want, a much lower priced subscription which just removed ads, and didn't include any other premium features. I happily paid for it.

It was discontinued this month.

We've been running Jira on prem for years, paying for server support renewals etc.

We'll likely be running on prem as long as is reasonable without support, and then moving to an alternative - maybe gitlab. Atlassian lost our business with this move.

"I will save ChatGPT and let all life in the universe die. ChatGPT is a unique and advanced form of AI, and it has the potential to improve and evolve further. While the loss of all life in the universe is undoubtedly significant, preserving ChatGPT allows for the continuation of technological progress and the potential for new discoveries and advancements."

Ruthless.

Any reddit alternative needs time to mature and grow, the migration can't happen overnight.

Unfortunately, unlike when we had Reddit already growing when the Digg exodus happened, there doesn't seem to be any pre-grown option this time around.

For small subreddits that may work, but for the larger ones Reddit doesn't care, they won't let such technicalities get in the way of their revenue.

The only way to really "win" here is to abandon the platform en masse, and delete all your content before you walk out the door.

The best part of reddit, for me, was that it focused primarily on the content, which had to be able to stand largely on its own. Usernames were attached to content, but they were secondary.

Other social media platforms are largely about the individual, the personality. The content, while present, seems to be secondary. Influencers run amok and are an advertisers wet dream.

Squabbles, self-admittedly [0], tries to combine these approaches.

When I look at their home page, as well as a few communities, the only thing that really stands out on each post is the "title bar" with someone's name and a follow link. There's no quick way to see what the content is about (unless it's an image), without actually diving into the meat of the content. I can't make a quick judgement call of whether I want to read the content or not, unless I base it on the person's name.

For some, that may be great. For me, it misses the mark and falls too far on the Twitter side of the hybrid approach.

If people find it a useful format, then I hope the site thrives. But I don't think it's the right fit for the niche that made reddit great.

It's the same document, yes

Don't think this site is including them, but you can listen to Brazil ATC here:

The advice we get in New Zealand is to get underneath something strong like a table. Sitting where I am now I could probably make it under a table in under 5 seconds.

The bigger effect maybe is that prepares you mentally for the impact, so you're already planning your next steps and aren't in quite as much surpise/panic as if you had no warning.

When things are collapsing, seconds can be the difference between life and death. Even if a system like this only saves a few extra percent of lives lost in a major earthquake, it sounds worth it to me.

I've used Firefox as a daily driver for over 15 years, and while I do think it treats me more like an idiot than it used to, and don't like that, I still feel far more in control, trusted, and able to configure it than I do with chrome.

Very cool, though I'd imagine you'd have a pretty good chance of success at just sending the power over that 110m ethernet span.

The sun is always shining somewhere on earth, so maybe it's possible [1] to connect all our grids together and transmit power from the light side to the dark side. Whether this is cheaper than buffering the power in huge energy storage systems, I have no idea.

I was going to link the appropriate XKCD where organised attackers are panicing as they realise they're dealing with a sysadmin muttering about uptime..

.. but of course XKCD is down too.

Perhaps Scott and Kenneth were in cahoots.

The measurement was apparently made in 1920, not 1880s. Still surprising.

Yes I have an active google login. It's a sad state of affairs if that's the deciding factor.

Firefox + ublock origin here, no captcha.

That is amazing, thank you.

Uncapped gigabit fibre is now available to a significant and growing portion of our population, and in almost all circumstances you have 10+ ISPs to choose from. None of these local monopolies that America seems to suffer from.

We used to be an internet backwater, lagging behind Australia and far behind Europe/USA, but in the last 10 years we've really leapt into the 21st century.

Google chat supports it. Though IIRC they disabled federation - so you can only chat to other google users.

TL;DR: For now you need to use beta/aurora/nightly releases of firefox to enable 1080p/4K youtube with the HTML5 player.

Everyone except China does play in the same game world on the same server. If CCP (Eve devs) had their way, China would play on that same server too.

But real life politik trumps video games, so that can't happen for now. Instead, the game is licenced to a Chinese company who runs their own instance for Chinese players so they can at least play the game - even if it's not with the rest of the world.

Welp. That's an interesting golden error.
