Hey that's what we get CUPS auto-discovery for.

It seems like getting projectors to run is really the hardest problem in computer science.
trustno2··on Gorhill pulls uBlock Origin Lite from Firefox store
It's lighter on resources and requires less permissions (so it's more private).

manifest v3 is not as bad idea as some people are saying

Judging from his replies, this is not the first time he had problems with the review system

manifest v3 is actually not a bad idea at all. it's more efficient, more private.
trustno2··on Some Go web dev notes
Other note

Sooner or later you will hit html/template, and realize it's actually very weird and has a lot of weird issues.

Don't use html/template.

I grew to like Templ instead

Oh wow, it was not just some guy publishing fradulent papers in fradulent journals that nobody reads or cites. He had giant impact, was cited tens of thousands of times!

Well, it has more Copilot AI stuff baked in, that's what people want nowadays.

It's called "newsletter" now.

OP wants technical discussions

I think that's what OP is not interested in
trustno2··on What's inside the QR code menu at this cafe?
Eh it was not just that, weev obviously had evil intent. (I wonder what's up with him now, last time I read his blog, he was posting neo-nazi posts from Ukraine)

trustno2··on How to succeed in MrBeast production (Leaked PDF)
Yeah and I respect fast food chains in this regard. So, that makes sense.

I hate the actual content he produces - the first time I watched it, I kept thinking it's a trailer because of all the cuts and I wondered, where is the actual video, when I realized no, I am watching the actual video - but I have to commend the grind.

He is trully obsessive about getting the most views, almost soullessly designing the perfect viral content, caring about every second. He literally starts with the thumbnail and title and only then works out the rest of the video!

I also like this 2 years old video of visiting his studio. This guy literally sleeps in his giant studio, everything is super optimized.

Of course the end result is entirely pointless. But still. I respect the grind.

(I also love when he "builds 1000 houses in Africa" or whatever, and he usually never even mentions the country or the place name. It's not that important. But at least he does some good, I guess.)

That is in chatgpt now and it greatly improves chatgpt. What are you on to now?
trustno2··on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
They can sell more iCloud subscriptions that way
trustno2··on The Internet Archive has lost its appeal in Hachette vs. Internet Archive
The compromise is obviously unilaterally decided by Archive, as demonstrated by the fact they randomly decided to not even honor that "compromise".
trustno2··on The Internet Archive has lost its appeal in Hachette vs. Internet Archive
No it's not.

Libraries don't make copies. They lend you the actual books.

Copyright is literally right to copy. Scanning the book and doing something with, such as lending it forward, is copying.

(The covid thing strengthens the case of the book guys - the CDL suddenly let anyone get anything because Archive decided to change the rules unilaterally)

This makes way more sense.

trustno2··on Telegram founder charged with wide range of crimes in France
He also has a French citizenship despite having no connections to France, which he somehow magically gotten due to "merit foreigner" status in 2021.

Le Monde couldn't figure out why he gotten that citizenship, there is very little detail.

>Durov was naturalized as a French citizen in August 2021, giving him European Union citizenship. Le Monde described the naturalisation as "mysterious", since Durov had not resided in France apart from brief visits. Le Monde suggested that Durov was naturalised via the rarely used "merit foreigner" procedure that is awarded directly by the French government to people viewed to have contributed exceptionally to France's international influence or international economic relations.

trustno2··on Wp2hugo: Best WordPress to Hugo migrator (written in Go)
It's a static site generator. You have some templates, some content, some themes, all in a repo.

Hugo looks at that and generates some HTML that you then need to somehow serve yourself.

It has some positives and negatives with respect to WordPress. Mostly, unlike WordPress, you don't have auth (authentication AND authorization) within the system itself, but have some access to some repo+some CI system+some upload system+some HTTP server through.... some other means.

trustno2··on Fixing a bug in Google Chrome as a first-time contributor
Interesting.

The only time I had problems was very big JSONs with everything on one line, but prettifying fixed that. (Or was it XML? I forgot. One of those.)
