Better not ask them to think outside the box or they'll come up with something like fushichou.

Although when setting this up, Gmail really make you feel like they might pull support at any minute.

I wonder if Fastmail could log you in to Gmail in a way that's consistent with Google's security model, similar to how you can "log in with Google" on many services. I'd much prefer it over the app password thing.

I wish there was a stronger differentiation between syncable and device-bound passkeys.

But there is no difference. I'd prefer if services just let me generate a passkey and leave it entirely up to me how I manage it. Whoever setup granny's device should have done so with a cloud based manager.

I think Google tries to make some confused distinction, or maybe that has more to do with FIDO U2F vs FIDO2. There you can add either a "passkey" or a "security key", but iirc I added my passkey on my security key so... yeah

A whole paragraph on how freakishly ugly he was. I google images and he looked perfectly normal and fine in the portraits which I assume at least some were accurate.

I've been using my aeropress a lot lately after having it mostly collect dust for the better part of a decade. What I've found, as I've hopefully matured a bit since I got it, is that my problem with it was always more of a problem with myself; being a bit of a contrarian. The thing is just too revered, and for really no good reason. People are so damn pretentious about it with their recipes and championships.

James Hoffman, mentioned in the OP, has an excellent method of using it though. Removing all the bullshit and serving a slap in the face to the culture around it, I've actually come to enjoy this device using his no-nonsense "recipe".

I still prefer a good pour over but sometimes a quick plunge with the aeropress hits the spot.

How about "I struggled with git, so I read the very easily digestible and entirely free Pro Git book"

Can't compete with that!

Also not a web person, but my guess is that the bottle app makes the requests from the "server" end, so even though you're accessing the app in your browser, the browser is only communicating with the local app server and thus isn't in the way to enforce CORS.

I own this exact Casio in the drawing.

It's true that you can change the settings via the app, but it also allows for automatic time adjustment, which is nice when you live somewhere where the time signal radio reception can be sketchy. (Australia)

You can also use the "find my phone" feature when it's nearby, which to my surprise I've actually done a few times.

Last I checked, Steam still has me logging in with my two decade old hotmail address as my account name. At least it's not something that shows publicly, I think.

Actually it did reflow the entire page. In particular, it inserted line breaks where ever text was being laid out, without ever messing with the width of divs or other elements. It then made a seamless jump with the viewport to keep the point of interest where you expect it to be on the screen. That's years ago when the Chromium version came out, however. I don't know how or if it works today, or how it was implemented in Presto before then.

Is there even an industry standard format? I've been dumping CSV to my accountant and I plan on doing the same for the tax authority if they came knocking.

Something tells me they can't be too picky about such things. My experience with the tax authorities in three countries now tells me they'll take whatever odd format data you hand them.

There are thousands of them coming off lease for sale here in Australia.

Where would I find one and what do they go for?

As a Plex server, do you know if they can handle hardware transcoding?

Thanks!

I drop my iPhone 12 mini on the daily onto marble floor, asphalt and concrete .. sometimes it flings out of my hands with an arc to it. Slippery little thing, it is.

Only the edges are a bit scratched up.

go into fastmail settings and create a "sender identity"

Not anymore, they've made it much simpler for you now by combining "aliases" and "sending identities" into "my email addresses". If you thought it was confusing before when you had to click "create new" under "sender identities" in settings, now all you need to do is:

1. Head to Settings → Migration → Import page.

2. Click on Add external sending address (SMTP) without importing emails.

3. Enter the email address and click Next.

4. On the following screen, skip the password prompt and click on Manually configure.

5. Disable the option - User authenticated SMTP when sending.

6. Save the changes.

And just like that you can start sending emails with your new address, easy peasy.

Isn't YouTube already doing that with channel memberships? I think people can also pay to comment on live streams or something.. They're definitely already letting you support creators directly, while taking their cut of course.

the gameplay and mechanics are so so clunky

This is a feature though, it's what makes it unique and great.

I had the exact same impression when I first tried Demon's Souls as it came out around 2010. I knew the game was supposed to be hard, but it felt hard for no reason, as if they had made it clunky just to mess with you.

I ignored the whole souls genre until I finally picked up the remake on the PS5 about a year ago, and it all clicked this time. It's clunky in an effort to be more realistic than many superficially similar games, and that requires you to play it differently too. Your attacks have a wind-up and cool-down period, you got stats preventing you from carrying too much gear and get even clunkier, endurance stopping you from maneuvering like a mad man etc. All these limitations are there to force you to be more strategic with your leveling, equipment, fighting, .. They're very deliberate and not "design problems that make it player-unfriendly".

It's not for everyone, but it's a different experience many clearly find rewarding. And honestly, the games aren't even that hard once you grasp these concepts.

I don't lose much besides the right to vote.

I think you mean the obligation to vote. :) Aren't you paying more in taxes and/or losing out on social benefits if ever desired? Say you want to buy a house, larger stamp duty? Have kids, less/no subsidy? Something something medicare benefits?

I remember viral videos of big halls and hallways full of spastic people strapped into their beds. I still wonder sometimes what that was all about. Who had an interest in spreading such videos? What outcome did they hope for / get?

You've clearly never worked with accountants. [1]

On that note, what kind of hardware/connection does that require? I run Plex on a rather old Synology NAS at home, and it's great for streaming at home at original quality even up to 4K but can get a bit sluggish when it tries to scale the video one way or another.

Then I go out of my home and it's unwatchable when streaming even original quality, which is odd because I have 20Mbit up with fiber to the premise at home and probably getting 60Mbit+ where I'm trying to watch from.

That's mostly 1080p I've been trying to watch, so 10Mbit should be sufficient. I don't know why the hardware would become a problem only when I leave home.

For that, to start with, you'd need to be able to create a feedback loop of awk's output back to itself as input. For it not to interfere with rendering, it needs to be on a separate file descriptor from stdout.

I found this snippet on stackexchange showing how exactly that is possible on Linux.

echo hello | gawk '!length{exit(0)} {print; print substr($0,2) >"/dev/fd/3"; fflush()}' 3>/dev/fd/0

This "renders" on stdout then feeds itself more input on /dev/fd/3.

I've done a lot of prototyping with AWK, and as with all good prototypes, a lot of them lingered in production for years without so much as a glitch.

I also did the entire 2020 AoC in mainly AWK, with some help of the shell at large at points.

I don't really have a point to make other than showing my appreciation of this quirky tool.

In a topological fashion, it could be added as a white circle around the entire map.

You know the flat earthers would run wild with that map.

RIP in peace my dude.

I ordered mine in mid-March and got it a week or two ago. I hate to say it, but it pays to call them and bitch about the delays. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that. They said they'd put me on priority and it seems from these comments maybe they actually did.

Makes me wonder how many days Linus was pondering Git before he "started" working on it.

Except when, you know, "the eftpos machine isn't working today".. for real though, "cash only" signs are a very common sight outside the Sydney CBD. (can't speak for other cities)

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
