Every time I hear someone call Pearl Jam "Classic Rock," I die a little inside.

The opposite of me when I describe albums released by my favorite bands in the 00's as "the new stuff."
If they go to most mega churches, their pastor makes Trump look grounded and intelligent and they've never actually heard anything from the new testament.
The Brennan monorail rides again!
Some of this technology may sound a bit "over-ambitious," but keep in mind the project was inspired by a fully functional self-balancing monorail that mechanical engineer Louis Brennan designed and demonstrated back in the early 1900s.
People who carry their cats in a baby bjorn lack the follicle commitment of Louis Coulon.
This makes me want to see the Klingon version of the Avocado Bathroom sketch from That Mitchell and Webb Look... still with Olivia Colman though.
If she's the mean girl of agricultural history I image there's also a prehistoric nerds table, planting the 3 sisters in an out of the way field. So they have a place to hang out on their own while getting laughed at for it.
Minecraft. AFAIK, they're the most likely to drop gold bars.
Are we taking bets on how long it will be before Google Search ends up on killedbygoogle,com?
Get yourself something nice that also looks good on the Holy Ghost and you'll all love it.
Every other election debates are held by a nonpartisan organization and a third party that meets certain requirements can also join.
They change the rules rather arbitrarily to suit their needs anyway. During the 2000 election Nader was excluded from debates under the new rule that the green party had to have gotten 5% of the vote (nationally) in the previous presidential election to quality. Some of the votes for Nader, that helped get Bush elected, were cast to make sure the green party got that 5% for the next election. They didn't, it ended up at 4% and change, but the rule was changed for 2004 anyway so it wouldn't have mattered.
When I was running a site, I had special rules in my firewall to look for things that said they were googlebot but which didn't come from one of googles published public IPs.
I mentioned this in another thread, but I do worry that google is eventually going infect the APIs that metasearch engines like DDG, Kagi, searchxng, etc depend on.
In my experience, a lot of the sysadmins who run high traffic sites will treat all bots as scrapers that have to be blocked or slowed to a crawl. Then they make special allowances for googlebot, bing/msnbot, and a few others. That means there is a massive uphill climb (beyond the technical one) to making a new search engine from scratch. With Google and MS both betting the farm on LLMs I fear we're going to lose access to two of the most valuable web reverse indexes out there.
I noticed recently (though I doubt it's new) that pop tarts are labeled that way too.
We adopted Timber (age 4) today from the a rescue in Springfield Oregon. He's only been with us about 4 hours but he's already settling in.
We met him at a multi-rescue adaption event this afternoon and were told we'd be called this week to finish the process. Then about 45 minutes later they called to tell us the loud event was making him miserable and they'd be happy to have us take him to our nice quiet home. He's currently in our 2nd bedroom to let him acclimate for a week or so before introducing him to our other cat and the rest of the house. He was very stressed at first but by the end of the first hour he was already training us how he likes to be petted, and how he drools when you're doing it right.
We have joined the Z-Wave Alliance, thanks to revenue from Home Assistant Cloud subscribers, and will start the certification process for Z-Wave JS.
From the blog post:
> TL;DR: We have joined the Z-Wave Alliance, thanks to revenue from Home Assistant Cloud subscribers, and will start the certification process for Z-Wave JS.
As a z-wave user myself, I am pleased by this. I was apprehensive about Z-Wave JS at first, but its been super reliable and stable for me.
Hopefully this doesn't violate the no ads rule, as it is my model. But I'm pretty proud of it and wanted to share.
I designed a backyard feeder to look like the restaurant from Bob's Burgers complete with a Burger of the Day special. It's fully 3d printed (other than glue) and designed to be tough (it wasn't until I uploaded the gcode that I realized it's 1.2 kg worth of filament). So far the squirrels and jays are loving it.

After watching a resident squirrel repeatedly try (and fail) to get at one of our bird feeders, I somehow got the image in my head of the squirrel sitting on Teddy's stool at Bob's Burgers chowing down. So I opened up CAD and decided to make my daydream a reality. That was almost a year ago, but I've finally gotten it published and wanted to share.

Back in July, Google's work on a Web Integrity API emerged and many equated it to DRM. The company announced today it's not proceeding...
The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...
> it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API thatâs ânarrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.â
They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.
This is the biggest change to Microsoftâs security efforts in nearly 20 years.
Alternate title: Microsoft closes barn door after last horse seen leaving and starting a bot farm.
> Microsoft is now announcing a huge cybersecurity effort, dubbed the Secure Future Initiative (SFI). This new approach is designed to change the way Microsoft designs, builds, tests, and operates its software and services today. Itâs the biggest change to security efforts inside Microsoft since the company announced its Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) in 2004 after Windows XP fell victim to a huge Blaster worm attack that knocked PCs offline in 2003.
Google's anti-ad scripts are breaking browsers and privacy plugins. It could get worse because Google controls the ad market, Chrome, and the extension store.
Another great article from 404 Media highlighting the power that the tech giants have amassed over how how we use the internet.
> This brings me, I think, to the elephant in the room, which is the fact that Google has its hands on quite literally every aspect of this entire saga as a vertically integrated adtech giant.
> This extreme power over the adtech and online advertising ecosystem is one of the subjects of an FTC antitrust suit against Google.
As promised, now that the WGA strike is over preparations are beginning for Season 14. In addition to new episodes and shorts they're planning to remaster older episodes.

I made this many years ago and just stumbled on it. Who remembers the early days of EBS volumes on AWS and needing to raid 8 of them together to get high throughput?

Microsoft is feeling the heat in the wake of the Azure breach.
There's been a string of security blunders in Azure in the last couple years but leaking a signing key and then trying to downplay it is really beyond the pale
The posts that have been going around about ChatGPT sounding like "chat j'ai pĂŠtĂŠ" (which in French means Cat, I farted) of course made me think about Quest of the Delta Knights. As most things do.
When David Warner and Tee are pretending to be magi in order to get access to the map, Tee is introduced as "Guy Ă la PĂŠtĂŠ." Or "Guy in the manner of Farted"
A few minutes later, the Senate minority leader walked back to the news conference by himself.
