I was too when due to network problems at our last traditional LAN-party (WC3, CS1.6 etc.) we used the hotspot feature of one phone to get everyone on a local network. I was skeptical and assumed the PCs wouldnt be able to see each other but lo and behold: it worked flawlessly!

About the "locked" Thoughts.doc file: Shouldn't this be trivially crackable nowadays?

thank you. TIL. Hiking the Green Belt sounds like an interesting long-term hiking project

At a glance the part of it that goes along the Polish coastline is largely forests growing on the sand dunes at the coast.

The experience is mixed, as while you can find amazing places like Słowiński Park Narodowy, where due to proximity to the lake and sea light pollution is low enough to behold the Milky Way, most of that section is interrupted by footpaths for beachgoers and really busy in season.


Having just reread Daemon by Daniel Suarez this hits differently. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(novel))


That's an interesting read!


Oh yeah. Browsing the submissions and forums on customize.org are among my first forays into the internet.


Well have you uploaded them to archive.org?


Maybe because they are significantly more finicky than DVDs to set up for playing in VLC for example. You need to download a key list of all released bluray movies from a slightly sketchy website, put it on a folder in the system somewhere and only then does it work.

I'm not sure if it's easier using jellyfin etc.


Is there a reason you can think of why AMD, Intel etc. would not want to do this?

Really enjoyed the video and feel that I (not being in the IT industry) better understand CPUs und and RAM now.


I can not think of any reason they would not want to do it.

However, I do seem at least 2 downsides to this method.

Number one it is at least 2x the memory. That has for a decently long time been a large cost of a computer. But I could see some people saying 'whatever buy 8x'.

The second is data coherency. In a read only env this would work very nicely. In a write env this would be 2x the writes and you are going to have to wait for them to all work or somehow mark them as not ready on the next read group. Now it would be OK if the read of that page was some period of time after the write. But a different place where things could stall out.

Really liked her vid. She explained it very nicely. She exudes that sense of joy I used to have about this field.


The use of AI assistants in genealogy is interesting. There seems to be a lot of activity in that area


I dig the electroduotone. Congrats!

Have you heard of electronicos fantasticos? It's this band from Japan who make incredible music with instruments they made themselves.

Yup, I've seen some of their stuff. They mostly make conventional music with unconventional instruments which is cute but doesn't quite interest me. I prefer music that is a bit more experimental and works with the texture of the sound more than melodic structure.
