still using my original logitech marble fx, bought 17 years ago. it travels with me from job to job :)

on a generic openbsd machine :

  OPENSSL(1)                  General Commands Manual                 OPENSSL(1)

  NAME
     openssl ? OpenSSL command line tool

  SYNOPSIS
     openssl command [command_opts] [command_args]

     openssl list-standard-commands | list-message-digest-commands |
             list-cipher-commands | list-cipher-algorithms |
             list-message-digest-algorithms | list-public-key-algorithms

     openssl no-command

  DESCRIPTION
     OpenSSL is a cryptography toolkit implementing the Transport Layer
     Security (TLS v1) network protocol, as well as related cryptography
     standards.

also, the 1939 voder comes to mind :

as I read it, it seems openbsd's X maintainer, matthieu herrb, knew about it but didn't tell theo or the other openbsd devs. that seems strange, and not really related to early access.

seems it stems from a study called "How Much Information? 2009 Report on American Consumers"

from the management summary :

"In 2008, Americans consumed information for about 1.3 trillion hours, an average of almost 12 hours per day. Consumption totaled 3.6 zettabytes and 10,845 trillion words, corresponding to 100,500 words and 34 gigabytes for an average person on an average day. (...) We defined “information” as flows of data delivered to people and we measured the bytes, words, and hours of consumer information. Video sources (moving pictures) dominate bytes of information, with 1.3 zettabytes from television and approximately 2 zettabytes of computer games."

I found a copy here : http://group47.com/HMI_2009_ConsumerReport_Dec9_2009.pdf

to me, that looks almost exactly the same as the regular version with an adblocker... nice service though

came here looking for an answer. I've never seen a NYT article sink so fast...

it forgets to mention that ublock blocks 45 requests to 36 domains on the initial load of that article.

from the article :

> The plant consumed over 1.08 million liters of water per day in 2016.

content won't show for me (latest firefox beta, 56b05) :

   Failed to register/update a ServiceWorker for scope ‘https://stenciljs.com/docs/’: Bad Content-Type of ‘text/html’ received for script ‘https://stenciljs.com/docs/sw.js’.  Must be ‘text/javascript’, ‘application/x-javascript’, or ‘application/javascript’.
   Error DOMException [SecurityError: "The operation is insecure."
   code: 18
   nsresult: 0x80530012]  intro:19:41

on the first try, it made firefox (latest beta) crash. on the second try, I got a generic 'unable to connect' notice.

so, when you did have access to the internet, did the cloudflare captchas drive you as crazy as they do me ? how was the cpm (capthas per minute) ?

seriously : it seems cloudflare drives about 90% of the sites I visit, judging from the "I'm not a robot" questions and captchas I get. congrats on the market share.

and it uses cloudflare, so browsing for pics gives me another gazillion captchas because I'm on a vpn. well thanks al lot...

at least imgur didn't use cloudflare.

> This is probably the most important takeaway

although this is important, I can't see how you reach the conclusion that

> But consumers win

from that. you see, the EU negotiator also said :

> "In #TTIP, we will not agree on anything that will imply lowering of protection. Full stop."

also, we can conclude from the leaked documents (both these and older ones) that the US proposals in some fields differ wildly from the current EU regulations, and I can't see the US giving in to EU demands on all of these (like GMO's, chlorine chicken and less stringent environmental rules).

so, with these powers combined we can conclude that further negotiation is useless, and TTIP is dead. so why are we still negotiating ?

fear is that a compromise will be reached somehow, and the EU citizens draw the short straw (I say that as a concerned EU citizen)

I must say I've been considering the same thing (I'm in the netherlands). for now, there's still ways to watch the US version of netflix, but should that too be blocked, I will probably revert to piracy, even though I've been against it for a long time...

part of the 'doodendraad' was reconstructed in 2015 near Zundert. along it, people planted 24000 crocus bulbs as part of an art project called 'de dodendraad leeft!' (the wire of death lives!). this march, they bloomed for the first time.

a short video here : http://nos.nl/artikel/2095442-video-dodendraad-zundert-komt-...

> cryptographic building blocks of the new WhatsApp protocol are available in source code

is there any way to verify that they actually use (an implementation of) this in their builds ? there's only one client, and I presume we can't make a third-party client to show it's interoperable with their implementation of the axolotl code.

while I agree the video is obnoxious, I can simply right click and select pause. or mute.

I don't use Tor daily (although I run a small exit node), but I do surf via a VPN. cloudflare's captchas drive me to the brink of insanity, I see at least 50 each day...

thanks, I'll look into it later on :) I played with that example because it has almost all features I normally use with tinyMCE.

looks promising, and something I'd like to use over tinyMCE.

however, the 'lens' example seems broken. in both FF and chrome (all up-to-date) I can't insert figures. FF just does nothing, chrome gives me a file chooser, but images do not appear in the document. is this a known bug ?

his site : 8 hops, 30ms. OP's site : 10 hops, 16ms.

only a slight difference. OP's site is just, well, very fast :)

for me, your site loads in 350ms, vs. 65ms for OP's (base html response only)

ah yes, the CDN that propmpts about 200 captchas per day on my end because I use a vpn... I was not aware this company was used so extensively until they started doing those annoying redirects.

my old libreoffice (Version: 4.2.4.2) opens it fine.

you can freeze the lighting with 'F'. press 'H' for more options.

this, to me, is the scariest part of all these deals (TPP, TTIP, CETA, TiSA etc.) : they seem to be 'too big to fail', so chances are they'll pass simply because parties involved are 'deeply invested', not because they're actually good deals...

according to the last CONCORD study, this seems to be not true.

numbers in the US are good, but not significantly better than, say, germany.

I have little experience with compiling from ports myself (and that was mostly on freebsd), so I cannot really comment on that, but I've used the pkg_* system for years and have yet to run into serious problems like versioning-hell or pkg's breaking. dependencies are normally well resolved when (de)installing pkg's. even upgrading works pretty well for the most part.

I agree that the package management could be better, but as far as I can tell it isn't as bad as you suggest as long as you stick to the official prebuilt packages.

or is it different when following -current ? I usually stick to releases and only patch major bugs.
