Like tigers can't control their coat color or stripe pattern, but it has an evolutionary advantage so these traits persist.

Hyundai dealership in Norway: Came to check the car in person and to ask couple of questions. Without any pressure dealer asked me if I wanted to take it for a ride. I agreed reluctantly, expecting that he will be joining. Nope, he just handed me the keys and asked to take a picture of my driving license. I loved the experience so much I ended up buying the car on the spot.

Same! Closed it on profile picture. Then saw people mentioning "bow" in the comments, so I had to find out what it is. Worst possible way start a day.

When I was around 8 (26 years ago), I had a couple hundred distinct cans and cigarette packs glued to the wall with plasticine. Good times.
Wallpaper, though, looked awful when I had to take it down before moving to another place.

Thanks, only after your comment I realized there is more to Zeus and I was not looking at it correctly (on big screen).
For those missing the "magic" - try moving the cursor clockwise to each corner of the screen.

I know it's a joke, but I wonder if bacon can stay edible for that long. After some googling it looks like meat, depending on type, is "good" for up to a year. Some should be eaten within few months.

Maybe a dumb question, but does anyone sets up their VPN server in the cloud? Could cheapest droplet on DigitalOcean [0] handle traffic for browsing or youtube?

Re:SQL queries don't start with SELECT
on Friday October 04, 2019 @04:48AM (#21155924)
I'm used to writing the SELECT query and adding the commented-out DELETE just below the SELECT line.
SELECT *
-- DELETE
FROM Sales
WHERE Customer = 1
Next, selecting the whole query and executing it. If results are satisfactory - selecting only the DELETE part.

Re:Redbird: A modern reverse proxy for Node

I assume that instead of config file (or hardcoded values), they will use Redis store for mapping of the domains/target nodes. E.g. traffic from www.hacker.com is forwarded to 192.168.1.1, and traffic from www.news.com is forwarded to 192.168.1.2.

You will send your data to publicly available server, which will forward it to other server available only through local network, hidden from the prying eyes, secured by firewall, routers, and/or some network configuration.
