That is a famous superstition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8wZbNmdIKw

To be fair: I didn't know either, until I had a long discussion on the topic with my colleagues wife - who is an Italian.

"Al dente" essentially means "cook your pasta as long as you like"

I'd say comparing caddy to nginx is like comparing bicycle to a diesel locomotive. Technically they are doing same thing. One is easy to deal with the other one is designed to do things at scale.

I am not a crypto nerd but in my childish mind I imagine that if a policeman wants to unlock my phone I'll just tell hin the "duress pin" and let him wipe the device himself ... (GrapheneOS)

There were times when Israel was at least trying to be ambiguous about their possession of nuclear weapons. The famous

“not to be the first to introduce nuclear weapons into the area.”

Now we get junior ministers, half of the media and all the facebook discussing who should be nuked first. Mordechai Vanunu spent 2 decades in prison because of this crap.

Now imagine these things driving around your city in the form of "cybercab".

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to transition official government communications away from Twitter/X to more secure, community-regulated platforms that prioritise public safety, accurate information, and accessibility. We encourage the government to explore publicly accountable alternatives, including decentralised networks, to ensure reliable and responsible communication with Canadians.

Not a ban really (not in US banning tiktok sense), better.

...so they have a problem with female or black but not withgay or bisexual 🤔 Feels a bit random. edit: of course - the list isn't complete 🤦‍♂️

None of those actually mention the vote in Ukrainian parliament, that is where the "unanimously" comes from 😇 I've looked through several sources and AJ English had it summarized the best 🤷‍♂️

off topic: not sure what are your reservations about AJ - soft power vehicle for Qatari gov?

This is really annoying for me 😇 . I am not one who would believe words of the Elon and I would say that intuitively it didn't make financial sense but I've looked into it and to my surprise the numbers are actually getting kinda close:

• they claim they have 4 million customers - at 100 USD per customer / month x 12 - 4.8 billion USD. There will be some tax, but they have also deals with US military (StarShield) or GSM Operator and wide range of "enterprise services" , so I suspect the income could be at around those 5 billion USD from starlink alone.
• they did 90 launches last year maintaining and expanding the network. It's hard to say how much a falcon 9 launch cost - but CNBC says it was sold for 67 million USD in 2022. Not sure how much margin Elon gets on a single launch, but 5 billion / 90 is over 55 million USD - which is right there in the area..

Now this is ignoring the cost of the satellites, the maintenance of 150 ground stations, development of the HW /SW, advertising and god knows what else - but still at least in the "ballpark numbers".

To my unpleasant surprise - the Elon might not be joking on this one 🧐 - the Starlink might be one day paying for the development of the Starship - if it isn't already 😲 Also - this is bloody cool 🤬

I've asked ChatGPT and it told me that "men tend to wash their jeans every 4-10 wears" . OP got me scared there for a moment 😅

🤓 Same thing popped up here in CZ, via Meduza and it is referring to 3 photos here on VK published March 5th. From what i gather from the Czech version the local branch of "United Russia" party responsible for these gifts retroactively claimed there was a range of products but the women on the pictures specifically asked for grinders. Suspiciously though - only 3 pictures, 3 different women, only grinders. The grinder is DEXP MG-2000s and could cost around 60 USD.

This is no joke. I am quite confident somewhere there in Polyarnye Zori (Полярные Зори) is one really offended local party official who was bloody happy about the price he got on these grinders here and really doesn't understand what is everybody's problem 😂 ...

2 points I'm not sure got mentioned here

1. There is a new hero on the block - his name is mox and he is bloody awesome! It's a single binary written in go, that takes care of (citing) ...IMAP4, SMTP, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, DANE and DNSSEC, reputation-based and content-based junk filtering, Internationalization (IDNA), automatic TLS with ACME and Let's Encrypt, account autoconfiguration, webmail.. pretty much everything. As somebody who maintains few mailservers for living - this is a wet dream come true. It implements eg MTA-STS that I haven't seen even on many commercial offerings yet. You run it once - it returns a long file with DNS records for MX, SPF, DMARC, DKIM etc... You run it second time with some switch - it generates its systemd file. Then you just spin it up - and that's it. I always wanted to write something like this but I am nowhere near clever enough. There may be some performance constrains, it's probably not "production grade" yet - but I've been using it for over a year with stellar results.
2. There has been a lot of gatekeeping (they call it security strengthening) going on lately. In my experience even year ago If you managed to fit into your DKIM / DMARC / SPF rules stated in your DNS records you could still deliver pretty much everywhere. Even with a dynamic IP. As of June 2024 google started enforce PTR records and M$ I believe followed (meaning if your ip doesn't have a correct PTR record your mail isn't deliverable to Google / Microsoft mailservers). Most residential ISPs will not enable you to edit your PTR and since more and more people / companies use bloody google /M$ cloud services I don't think it's worth running mailserver just from home because the deliverability would be a hit and miss. You need at least to proxy the outgoing mail through some cheap VPS with public ip that you can set a PTR on.

I blame him for MacBook unibody design that made whole generations of mbooks gone way too soon because of heat stress. But shiny metal pretty!

I blame him for the whole butterly keyboard fiasco that made me stop using MBooks.

I don't blame him for smartphones because I don't think he invented those.
