This looks like the trailer for an ILM remake of CryptoZoo NFTs.

This is why I didn’t buy a wireless android auto adapter when I bought a different car. I figured Gemini was going to get stuffed down our throats there.

I thought I cancelled a couple years ago, so I appreciate them sending me an email telling me they were still getting my money.

Alternate moods:

China said they wouldn’t negotiate until tariffs came down. They didn’t, now tariffs are paused, and negotiations are starting. China is clearly in the driver’s seat and they just shoved trump’s binky in his mouth.

Thank you for that. Its surprising how long that takes to answer when I see some release announcements. Especially over on Mastodon.

Pretty sure its the Spider Man theme tune.

Is this like Publisher’s Clearing House? Will people show up at my door with balloons and big novelty hat to tell me I won?

Shortened lives, hastened climate change, and stunted development is a small price to pay for being able to see a nude version of any photo posted to xitter.

Somebody send a gift basket to the Skype CEO, he’s not doing so well.

If you can find something with an infrared remote you can control IR blasters via hass. I control an AC unit and a fan using an RM Mini3 (and my TV and soundbar) via Home Assistant.

This terrible chemical directly caused the pressure increase that lead to Chernobyl.

My experience is with systems that handle nearly 1000 pageviews per second. We did use a spread of haproxy servers to handle routing and SNI, but they were being fed offender lists by external analysis tools (built in-house).

Most often because they don’t download any of the css of external js files from the pages they scrape. But there are a lot of other patterns you can detect once you have their traffic logs loaded in a time series database. I used an ELK stack back in the day.

When I was serving high volume sites (that were targeted by scrapers) I had a collection of files in CDN that contained nothing but the word “no” over and over. Scrapers who barely hit our detection thresholds saw all their requests go to the 50M version. Super aggressive scrapers got the 10G version. And the scripts that just wouldn’t stop got the 50G version.

It didn’t move the needle on budget, but hopefully it cost them.

“Significantly better than ChatGPT” and “Good” aren’t the same. Like ipecac is significantly better to drink than sewage water.

I went long enough without using Google (probably a year-ish) that, when I accidentally made a Google search a few days ago, it was a jarring experience.

It felt wrong the same way other search engines did when I first deGoogled. It was kind of nice actually.

And they didn’t do a heart with a banner in front of it that says “Mom”?

For the 12 hours it takes them to make that money back, their c-suites will be fuming.

Don’t worry, the oligarchs also want to release any content they own as smart contract so ownership is eternal and a driver of blockchains. Then they want to make breaking DRM or smart contracts more heavily punished. “Protection for me, not for thee”
