In this vein there's also 3 TEST-NETs, all /24 but still useful. I've been known to use TEST-NET 1 for Wireguard: 192.0.2.0/24. The other two are 198.51.100.0/24 and 203.0.113.0/24.

There's also 198.18.0.0/15, Wikipedia says it's "Used for benchmark testing of inter-network communications between two separate subnets"[1]. Use this if you really want to thumb your nose at the RFC police.

Brilliant idea to check out this satellite. Are there any others that receive interesting frequencies? (thinking under 6GHz)

That's definitely me. I'm generally not social, but I love clubbing, dancing and raves. Not just the music (top reason) or the physical aspect, but all the chatting with randoms too. I love the bullshit we talk, the temporary friendships and the places you find yourself at 5am. (and if anyone's wondering, nope, just alcohol)

But I can go once and be good for months. See friends a few times a year as well, and I'm sorted.

This is hard to explain, but I think it's about "who you are/how you see yourself". As if there's a tension in my head, "am I my thoughts, or am I how other people see me?" When I have been more social recently, I ruminate less and am generally happier, but I feel I lose a bit of "depth" in my psyche. I just feel kind of "thin", like a minor character in a TV show. Though writing that, maybe that's just depression trying to pull me back in.

still dead for me.

not really? nic.* is just an "About this TLD"

Cameras and satellite antennas can also be blocked with many common materials

OTOH, if that sort of data is not purged, it could be far richer than any letter. Many people pretty much use their phones/devices as extensions of their minds, and phones are a very personal, private place.

Like many things in systemd, timers are a bit complex, I always find myself opening 2-3 manpages at once when doing one. But when you get them set up, it's just a much better system. I still use cron for basic one-liners, but that's it.

Minimum four slice toaster with proven experience to deliver results and work autonomously in a fast-paced family kitchen. Ability to cook eggs a plus. Must comply with government product safety laws.

5-minute job for someone with a hot air rework station and experience soldering SOICs. Assuming no conformal coating or anything weird.

During my B.CS, most power I needed was whilst doing Android and iOS development, and even then that's just for the VMs. Otherwise did it all on a beat-up 2014 MacBook Air. Specific programs we used like SPIM, the pan/spin verification thingo, gcc/g++/etc, you can run wherever you like.

EDIT: Uni provided computers with VM stuff installed, and let us remote into them during COVID.

I had the same thing, and I ended up growing out of it in my early 20's. The gag reflex is so tough to get around, I think I gradually got past it around the same time. I'll never be an adventurous eater, but I've become a huge fan of asparagus, spinach and green capsicums (bell peppers).

Is a resistor really enough to determine if a 5W cable gets 240W?

Really? I had no idea that was an uncommon word. What else do you call them?

Anecdotally, I'm still running a computer I mostly bought in 2011, i5-2500K still going strong, but the motherboard has a few issues: one of the PCI-E slots works sometimes, one of the RAM slots is completely broken, and the RTC seems to lose a few minutes a week.

CPUs should go pretty much forever, provided they're run on clean power. They're a little square, entirely encased. Motherboards are bigger and with physical connectors you need to use force on.

Oh this is fantastic. Good job!!

If you buy it in store, it should follow your local regulations. It's generally the cheap stuff on eBay that is the problem.

It's very important to watch out for useless uses of echo/cat. What is cat, a few megabytes now? Fine for those of us on modern hardware, but you never know what PDP-11 user is going to copy paste your comment into their terminal.

Everyone in this thread seems to identify more with camp 3. I'm very camp 2, I don't care about making anything, most of my programming is means-to-an-end, little scripts and cli binaries, rarely any large projects.

I see a computer as a sort of huge warehouse-sized machine, with tiny little gears and pistons all moving in perfect timing, and I just want to throw an apple into it, to see what happens.

Another 1%:

"You are 1% basic. Have you considered there's a reason nobody listens to DJ Marsta?.

You're stuck in the early 2010s. You must have peaked right around Mez's Tyrone EP."

Would Microsoft care about youtube-dl? Aside from their recent gesturing towards open source, I can't see a scenario in which they'd even say anything. Considering how often youtube-dl has to be updated and re-downloaded, they might even be happy to get that load off GitHub.

You know, that actually makes sense to me. You'd want a lot of margin. If they were running the root DNS servers and were hitting like 80% of their bandwidth on a normal day, I'd be worried.

The magpies near me never swoop me, I've somehow made friends with them. They used to swoop my dog, until they saw me and my dog outside together, now they leave her alone. I love them though, they're friendly to other birds (but they have no tolerance for bullies), and they'll even chase off invasive species (Indian Myna birds). They are certainly the dons of my garden.

Back to w3schools then I guess :/

thinking about the gig economy as a different type of worker opens to door to a "how might we" conversation where everyone has the opportunity to win.

We, the readers of Hacker News, are going to fix the gig economy! Everyone, download a copy of your local laws and send a pull request to your country's highest Court.

But seriously, I think having a discussion, working out a perfect system where we'll all be better off is more than a bit hopeful.

Wow, there's an ASUS mining mobo. I knew cryptocurrency boards existed, but I thought they were bespoke diy projects and random aliexpress jobs. Anyone else wondering, those are PCI-E x1 ports, 18 of them.

Well, it is trained on web content. Often I read an article and it's obvious they're either stretching it out to hit a word count, or trying to get as many google-able phrases in as they can. Some sites are worse than others, with the more no-name ones the worst offenders.

Companies love open source projects with MIT-style licenses. If you license your project GPL, no company will touch it, unless they really, really have to.

Isn't it a miracle! It's fantastic, I've been reading old computer magazines from the 80s and 90s on archive.org, and the costs to set yourself up back then were just astronomical. I remember seeing C compilers priced at $300, or even more.

I'm not a manual reader in the same way as you, but I've got fond memories of reading man pages on my way down to art school (before I switched courses!). Love cli programs with tonnes of flags and heaps of features, like curl, socat and rsync.
