Just curious, is this dark matter holding back the universal expansion?
ngold··on Scientists find ways to boost memory in aging brains
Grampa got a little weird at 94. But that was a long to live, and at point he most of the diseases including most of the cancers. He passed just after his tiny 15 year old dog passed. Gramps I still miss you, stubborn old man. Grama was my favorite though.
ngold··on A Fond Farewell
Tis a bit curious R.I.P.

Is it just easier than putting together a school server on the side?
ngold··on Replacing a $3000/mo Heroku bill with a $55/mo server
I'm probably wrong, but this argument always cracks me up.

It used to be called 3 laptops a power scrubber and a backup battery. If you want to go self hosting things. If you were fancy you had two servers.

ngold··on Element: setHTML() method
Is this basically doing the same thing as https now? But for http, and firefox just never implemented a simple fix for it's entire existence until now?

I obviously know nothing about this, but I still find it fascinating. Or am I off my block.

ngold··on HP SitePrint
That makes a lot of sense as a system. No courts, just I'm not paying you until it meets specifications
ngold··on Google flags Immich sites as dangerous
Not sure if it counts but I've been enjoying librewolf. I believe just a stripped down firefox.

ngold··on Judge rejects Meta's claim that torrenting is “irrelevant” in AI copyright case
Sorta not really. They said the plaintiff had a non relevant argument or something.
ngold··on AI will save the world?
Start with a two paragraph thesis, then use the rest of the article supporting it?
ngold··on Notes on Vision Pro
It can't be as bad as the 90s sega vr, where executives walked out after testing it and then buried the entire project.
ngold··on ARM64 Linux Workstation
#snarc beats /s anyday. On a serious note. If you want to save on the power bill. Arm anything wins against my 1000 watt xeon workstation. I can heat several rooms with that monster.
ngold··on GIMP Turns 27
I to am wondering what features are missing?
ngold··on Where does all the cardboard come from?
I just assumed oregon. Apparently the locals tell me, the owl scare of the 80s that killed most lumber companies on west coast, was simply lobbying and scare tactics by east coast lumber companies. And it worked very well. But who knows.
ngold··on Intentionally making close friends
don't be a bummer
ngold··on Intentionally making close friends
pro tip. Don't be a flake like me.
ngold··on Regulators OK largest dam demolition in history to restore salmon habitat
Just moved to klamath falls. 4k feet elevation, in a frozen desert with a massive lake. On the border of California.

This is an odd town in every way. I learned this from an older local today. So grain of salt.

Apparently. Klamath was a huge lumber town, and rivaled San Francisco for who would be the larger city...hahah.

But old boys not only shut down i5 going through, but kept a strangle hold on all activities in town for a century.

The unfunny joke I was told. "Klamath Falls will become a decent town when the last 12 old boys die.".

Grain of salt here. Also the spotted owl was a bunch of Eastern Lumber companies funding hippies to shut down western lumber companies. And if you wore a tye dye shirt in town in the 80's. That was a stabbin.

So much salt there.

ngold··on The clever camera code on rolls of film [video]
This is one of those channels I stumbled upon, and figured I would watch one and move on. Nope. Super fascinating channel on stuff I never knew or thought, how it worked.
ngold··on Adding a hinge to a Game Boy that God never intended
Didn't even know this was a thing. And I immediately fell in love. What a great hobby. I remember my first game boy. You could probably knock someone out throwing it. And it would be fine.
ngold··on Flat-to-curved screens have an identity crisis
Eventually it will just be wallpaper.
ngold··on Amazon putting a three-day pause on reviews for Rings of Power
That is exactly what I was terrified of. I just watched the first episode a couple hours ago. It's pretty good. Not as good as the trilogy, but heaps better than the hobbit.
ngold··on Simple mix of soap and solvent could help destroy ‘forever chemicals’
We just need to boil the world's oceans now
