I’m a programmer and amateur radio operator.

Inductor,

It might have been the fingerprint sensor. They can be fooled. Mine occasionally thinks the inside of my trouser pocket looks just like my finger.

Inductor,

That looks really cool.

Inductor,

I would also recommend consent-o-matic. It works really well, and has a really simple interface for letting the devs know when it doesn’t work.

Inductor,

I’d like to elaborate a bit on why DNS can be used to track you.

Nearly all web traffic is encrypted (https), you can check by looking at the padlock next to the URL in your browser. But DNS requests aren’t encrypted by default. This means anyone, most likely your ISP our the admin of your home network, can see what domains you’re accessing. That means just google.com, lemmy.world, etc. and not lemmy.world/post/… This isn’t a huge amount of info, but it does tell anyone who’s looking approximately what you’re doing (googling something, looking at lemmy, etc.).

To fix that there are a few different ways to encrypt DNS requests, the most common of which (afaik) is DNS over HTTPS, which will encrypt DNS requests like any other web request your browser makes. I don’t know why this hasn’t been made the default yet. Firefox has a setting for DNS over HTTPS, it calls it secure DNS.

Inductor,

Have you tried using an automatic CAPTCHA solver (e.g. Buster)?

Inductor,

Amateur radio/ham radio. There are a few ham radio communities on lemmy, but they’re all fairly inactive. I occasionally check on some groups on matrix as well.

The next few years are looking quite exciting for ham radio, because we’re reaching the peak of the 11 year solar cycle. This gives us amazing conditions for long range communication.

Inductor,

A small, cheap holographic projector (as in projects a glowing volumetric image into the air that I can wave my hand through). It would probably work using femtosecond lasers, but making the optics small and cheap would be difficult.

Inductor,

I’d try mysterytool -H

Inductor,

That’s odd, I’m using Connect and it gets the right post every time so far.

Inductor,

Yes, but it looks like it’s been inactive for a while:

!itsaunixsystem

Inductor,

I don’t know, I didn’t make this.

Inductor,

Thanks, I didn’t know where it came from.

Inductor,

Not a classic book, but Artemis Fowl. Disney managed to confuse fans of the books and newcomers to the series alike by adding a McGuffin that was unnecessary, bringing the antagonist from the second book into the movie on the first book, and mangling the relations between the two main protagonists beyond recognition.

Inductor, (edited )

It has allready been implemented in Chromium/Chrome (link). Websites only have to start using it.

Edit: see comment

Inductor,

Ahh, sorry my mistake. I remembered reading a headline somewhere about Google having already implemented it, but I didn’t check. Thanks!

Inductor,

Germany

Inductor,

Found one !itsaunixsystem

Inductor,

Did you know that every Apollo mission carried multiple rolls of ordinary duct tape with them.

It was used occasionally to fix broken things like the Apollo 17 moonbuggy.

Inductor,

Not necessarily, depending on how you’ve set it up, the bicycle has to connect to their servers to unlock. So if they shut down the servers, you can’t even use the pedals.

Here’s a video about it. (in German)

Inductor,

Something similar happened last year. A company that made eye implants to help blind people see went bankrupt, and suddenly they weren’t around to repair/replace/remove the implants anymore.

Inductor,

This mostly wasn’t actually Google, the website it refrences was written by ChatGPT, Google’s crawler just found it and shows it in the summary.

Ok, how do I start self-hosting?

I’ve been following this community for some time in order to learn about self-hosting and, while I have learnt about a bunch of cool web services to host, I’m still lost on where/how to start. Does anyone have, like, a very beginner guide that is not just “install this distro and click these buttons”? I have an old...

Inductor,

I know as little as you do about selfhosting, but I just want to point out, if ip a generates a convoluted/confusing output, I would recommend using hostname -I instead. It just prints out all your IP-addresses, with no additional info.

Inductor,

Flourine by itself is nothing compared to chlorine triflouride (CTF) though.

There were some ideas to use it in rockets, but, as John D. Clark put it:

It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water—with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals—steel, copper, aluminum, etc.—because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride that protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminum keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.

There were a few successful test fires with a CTF rocket on the ground, but to avoid explosions they had go through an elaborate multiple hour long cleaning procedure, and it ended up being too expensive and dangerous.

Inductor,

Congratulations on passing your exam first try!

Out of interest, what license was it?

Inductor,

It's under Settings->[Username] settings->Default listing type

Inductor,

While it used to be arcane trickster rogue, I recently played a Paladin and was amazed by the power of smite.
