At that point, you're just paying for training Microsoft's AI.
If smart people thought like this, we won't have cryptography.
You do realize that tickets to the castles, memorabilia etc. would sell without them, right? And there's no shortage of celebrities. If they don't exist, something else will take their place in those tabloids.
Similar properties in other countries also make a ton of money. Why do you think it's the "royal family" that brings in the money? It's not like tourists can even meet them. What exactly do you think is the draw for normal people? Outside of some lunatics, who gives a fuck?
I never denied it. But not everyone has the same flaws. I might even have this exact flaw, but not everyone has it.
That's bullshit. Not everyone is like this. I'm sure there are many who share my political beliefs, who fall for this shit. Maybe I do too. But for you to say that everyone does this is bullshit. This sort of thinking only serves to normalize idiocy.
Raw chickpeas. The small, black kind. I soak them overnight in cold water, and have them for breakfast along with a shot of espresso.
I got it from my dad. He used to have them with tea.

I know about Jellyseerr, but I find it not worth it since there are very few people that send me requests. Messaging apps are enough for that.
I think the gap stems from need. Most people only learn what they absolutely need to. My sister and I are just 3 years apart in age. Yet I am pretty familiar with tech, while she knows next to nothing. I was always there to fix whatever broke. Even now she knows that if she needs to watch something, she can just ask me to add it to my Jellyfin server. I often have to remote into her system to fix stuff.
I'd say that mpv also has a place near VLC when it comes to playing everything.
I mostly use mpv to play local music nowadays. (Most of the music I play is streamed using a Navidrome server with Feishin as the frontend.) Back when I did use a proper audio player on Linux, Harmonoid was my go-to.
These things can be so funny sometimes. My old PC from high school decided to die the exact day when I bought my new laptop. Mf won't boot up no matter what I did. Had to connect that hard drive to another machine to recover some data. Now I keep backups of everything.
Were all the tests available at the same time? Usually there are different times for submitting tests and also for assignments. I've never taken a course where you can just submit them whenever you want. For assignments, maybe, possibly with some penalty. But never for tests.
Better Call Saul. I find it so amazing how they were able to take an existing (brilliant in its own right) story, and extend it in both past and the future. It fits in so nicely. There are very few (if any) plot holes, and the story is enjoyable in its own right. Add to that the superb acting of almost everyone, and the elite cinematography. I don't think there's a single aspect of this show that I don't like.
I only use my own installer scripts with LURE, so I'm not sure about the safety of the publicly available repos. But the project itself seems to be pretty solid and reliable.
The children filled a torch with gunpowder extracted from matchsticks and inserted a battery, causing the torch to explode when it was switched on.
Floods in Tripura have killed 10 people and forced over 34,100 to seek shelter in relief camps. Incessant rains since Monday led Chief Minister Manik Saha to request more National Disaster Response Force personnel. The state's rivers are swelling, prompting school closures and train cancellations. R...
Demonstrators are demanding more safety for women after a trainee doctor’s body was found in a Kolkata state hospital.
Bangladesh is suffering a nationwide internet shutdown as students armed with sticks and hurling stones clash with police in protests against the government that reports said have left at least 39 people dead.
Media reports from Bangladesh say 19 more people have died in clashes between police and student protesters attempting to impose a “complete shutdown” of the country, following days of violent confrontations during demonstrations over a system of allocating government jobs
Need suggestions for VPS
I want to get a new VPS. It'll mostly be used to host lightweight Docker images, and reverse proxying through Caddy. So, decent CPU and fast network speeds are the main things I need.
I have a cheap VPS with RackNerd. It's fine, but only has a single CPU core, which gets overwhelmed if multiple connections are trying to pull stuff from some service. So, I guess having multiple cores is a requirement as well.
I want to spend around $5/month, but willing to go a little higher if it's worth it. Any suggestions are appreciated.
P.S. I'm based in US and would prefer something in here for lower latency.
Update: Hetzner's CX22 IPV6 only plan seems to be very good in terms of price-performance ratio. But the servers are in Europe. I'm planning to try it out for a while and see how the latency is. It's great that they don't lock you in with yearly plans.
Recommendations for lightweight wiki servers?
I currently run a personal wiki for some notes, recipes, and stuff. It's set up using Wiki.js as the server. I'm the only regular user, and I feel like it's a bit of an overkill.
Does someone have any suggestions for a more lightweight wiki server? I tried DokuWiki and mostly like it. But the UI is very old and dare I say, ugly. I love the UI of Wiki.js btw.
My main criteria is that it should be lightweight. I don't need fancy editing features. Happy to work with raw html or markdown files.
I need some kind of permission management to hide some private wikis from the public, but otherwise I don't really care.
Help with snippets?
My goal is to automatically close the environment while editing a tex file. There was an issue for vimtex asking for basically what I want to achieve. They achieve it using snippets as mentioned there.
The problem is, I have no idea how to set it up. I've never used snippets in nvim. I have vim-vsnip and cmp-vsnip installed as it was needed for another plugin to work. Is it possible to implement this using those?
It can be noted that in vimtex, an environment can be closed by typing ]] which is a mapping of vimtex-delim-close. I basically want to emulate the behavior in VS Code using LaTeX Workshop. It auto-closes the environment, adds an indented line in the middle, and moves the cursor there.
If anyone has any other ideas about doing this without snippets, that's welcome too.
Do you use a coffee subscription? Which one?
This post is mostly for me to look at alternatives. I currently subscribe to Trade. But recently I've been hearing about their bad practices like sending packages with wrong weight, or paying very little money to the roasters.
If you like your current subscription, please place a link so that others can check it out. If you don't, and want to switch, tell why so that I can avoid it too.
Is it okay to store coffee beans in old sealable bags?
For the last few months, I've been splitting a bag of coffee beans into 2-3 portions and freezing them. I've seen that it extends the freshness by a bit. Now, I've been storing them in older coffee bags (the standard sealable ones) since they take up less space than jars and also I'm just reusing something that would've gone to landfill/compost.
I do clean them of residues of older beans and don't use a bag more than 2 times since I get new bags whenever I buy beans anyway. Are there any health/quality issues that might arise from this that I should be aware of? Should I just store them in sealed glass jars instead?
What's the worst spoiler that you've inadvertently given to someone? (Please use spoiler tags.)
When I was in college, my then girlfriend texted me that she was watching Jojo Rabbit. She knew it was one of my favorite movies, and said that she loved it too. She was talking about how Scarlett Johannson's shoes almost have their own personality. So I said,

___ yeah, it's devastating when you notice her shoes on the hanging body.
Turns out she had paused the movie to make some dinner, and hadn't seen this part yet. Needless to say, she was PISSED!
