dumb "journalists" especially have this backwards mindset.

Because I like Open-Source (or in this case open weights).
gsich··on New 10 GbE USB adapters are cooler, smaller, cheaper
Also SFPs are always a gamble. Might work, might not, you have multiple options, meanwhile with copper RJ-45 you are guaranteed that a link will be established.

3 pairs probably. But then again you only need 2.
gsich··on GPT-5.5
Hopefully 1.

>1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women go through the same sorts of experiences, and it’s worth it, if you aren’t color

Not the same, it's a gradient.

>This was a custom map. Not a mod.

This is even better. Because it's a map you can start it without modifying your game installation.

There were "real" WC3 mods, but it was always cumbersome and worked reliably only in singleplayer.

Gameplay-wise it's a mod obviously.

gsich··on Wacli – WhatsApp CLI
There is e-mail and XMPP I guess. Usefulness is debatable though.

>Nobody gives a damn. What matters is that it works even on a potato.

Everybody does. That's why people use messaging apps.

gsich··on Wacli – WhatsApp CLI
Maybe, as I don't know if I got a special version that exfiltrates data to somewhere else. But this does not improve SMS security in any way. Another software also potentially being bad has no influence here.
gsich··on Wacli – WhatsApp CLI
SMS is unsafe anyway.

codec? x264 and 1080p is in the ~8GB range for a 120min movie. Depending on audio might be more.
gsich··on SSH has no Host header
Companies might do that. They have the right to do so. If they still want to use that service, they will find a way to use it. Be it by vendor-coercing or simpler methods.

Just because those companies exist, does not mean that their shitty practices have any imapct on real internet connections. If you as a paying ISP customer want to use a custom port or whatever, it is going to work. So you as a developer don't have any restriction (which you don't know anyway beforehand) if you are developing a solution for a problem.

"Middleboxes" is a hackernews meme that is thrown around because people here work at places who restrict stuff and they can't bother to change that situation but instead complain about it.

The fact that games exist and they use all kind of ports is proof that this is not a problem for normal networks.

gsich··on SSH has no Host header
I fail to see how this is relevant.
gsich··on SSH has no Host header
Thankfully SSH on non-22 is not unusual.
gsich··on SSH has no Host header
I don't because that would be impossible. Every business has different rules. But if you (as a business) want to to use this, you will find a way to make the changes to those "middleboxes". It's not your network, it's your business's network.
gsich··on SSH has no Host header
Because your ISP should (and most do not) alter traffic.

Middleboxes are not relevant in this scenario.
gsich··on Why I love FreeBSD
What I really want is the Windows tool for that. Can't call it equivalent, because clunsy is way superior.

People can solve a 4D Rubicks cube, so some parts are possible I guess.

The account is the same as you create in any acme client. I don't see potential for a reverse lookup.
gsich··on Discord Alternatives, Ranked
All of those alternatives don't have voice chat in the way discord has (or Teamspeak/Mumble).
gsich··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
Good bye. Discord is not trustworthy with this kind of data. As proven recently.
gsich··on What's up with all those equals signs anyway?
Depending on what you configured. It can also keep the mail on the server.

All offers seem to be from the US.
gsich··on Oneplus phone update introduces hardware anti-rollback
I have never seen this happen.

I have however experienced that a ISP will write to you because you have a faulty modem (some Huawei device) and asks you to not use it anymore.
