I can’t see the numbers in future getting any better, unless big changes are made. Many pilgrims are quite old, since some need many years to save up enough for the journey, and of course the temperature’s only going to be going up (even after La Niña).
It’s part of the rituals to get the timing exactly right, so it’s not like it can be moved to cooler months, like has been proposed for the Summer Olympics. It is moving earlier by a week and a half each year (because of the Islamic calendar) but when you’re talking 51.8C that’s not really moving the needle.
I’d heard talk of health-monitoring bracelets, which seems sensible.
A great read, thanks for sharing.
I really hope this is successful, it’s really got the spirit of what made the early internet great.
I’m curious to know the impact of ad-blockers - I didn’t see you it mention in your post or blog, so I’m assuming you tested with stock browsers. Also, did you clear history and data from your Android install since it sounds like you’d normally use that?
I’m assuming that ad-blockers would be a net benefit to both battery and performance, given that in a way it’s an optimisation. The boost from removing data and computation (that the user doesn’t want anyway) must be far higher than the overhead of the plugin, right?
I know how federation works, but look at the network inspector and you’ll see you’re pulling a lot of images from Cloudflare-proxied sites (or you’re missing a lot, if you’ve blacklisted them).
Anyway, I only meant that even Lemmy, with its anti-corporate culture, is still heavily using Cloudflare. “Only” 22% is still a lot in my book.
I’m interested as to your motives - are you doing this as a boycott, and/or to protect your privacy (or similar)? Also, are you blocking domains one-by-one, or are doing something like using firewall rules?
If you’re blocking everything that’s proxied via Cloudflare or hosted on Google, the internet must be a very small place for you. I think even a third of Lemmy is behind Cloudflare.
Shine UV light on salty wastewater? Definitely sounds pretty straightforward.
One place I worked had a small park, so sometimes I’d go for a lap or two to think something through - the fresh air, mild exercise, change of scenery and lack of distractions wroked wonders.
@Yondoza@sh.itjust.works this is good advice
It’s interesting that the author and most others went with 403, when 426 seems to be the most appropriate.
Neither are perfect matches, since 403 is about authentication and 426 is for Upgrade semantics (i.e. the upgrade is over the same transport protocol, not switching from http to https). npm isn’t sending an Upgrade header, which is required, but I think if it sent Upgrade: TLS/1.0, HTTP/1.1
then that would be claiming they supported TLS on port 80 (STARTTLS style) - possible but unconventional.
At the same time, Penick had people rate what they thought the ant smelled like. Most people said blue cheese, but some thought it smelled like rotted coconut. So Penick rotted a coconut in his backyard and found a mold growing on it that, sure enough, is the same mold (Penicillium roqueforti) that’s used to produce blue cheese. Another mystery, solved.
So American house ants, rotten coconuts and blue cheese all smell the same. Life is weird.
I haven’t used atuin yet, but I believe the histories from other machines is more like accessible than mixed - you don’t just hit ↑ on machine1 and see machine2 commands.
A fun article, and I really like the idea of pataphysics. I’ve klnown of SCP for a long time but I’ve never delved into it - it seems more bottomless than TVTropes, and I’ve spent/wasted enough time there already!
I was referring to this trivia:
Picard’s scene with Guinan was not in the original script. Melinda M. Snodgrass was told that they needed a “Ten-Forward” scene to accommodate Whoopi Goldberg coming in that week.
I took it as true, although I had a quick go at finding where this claim came from and am drawing a blank
I watched that one last night and had the same thought - she’s been the face of nonacceptance towards Data and although Bruce Maddox is far more extreme in his views it seemed like a waste of her character building.
That said, they’d already shoehorned in a Guinan scene so I don’t know where they’d find the time.
Picard gets pegged? I clearly missed the TNG After Dark episodes.
I love fungi facts.
Altman is the P.T. Barnum of tech
Love it, so many great quotes in this piece but this is my favourite.
Lisp variants like Clojure are being used for new projects (e.g. Logseq) but I’d be surprised to hear of anyone choosing COBOL for a greenfield project.
I’ve only just found the channel, and am currently watching the one on Biomimicry. Glad to hear the quality’s consistent.
