Re:Writing a tile server in Python on Tuesday August 06, 2024 @05:52AM (#41169227)
I'm writing something like that in python myself. It's still at an early stage. Sooner or later I'll push it to github even if it's in a crappy stage.

Re:The joys of owning an ‘OG’ email account on Thursday September 03, 2020 @04:53AM (#24362071)
There are so many big service providers that do not verify emails and start spamming anyway.

And there are also companies like Epic Games that got my email via a (failed) Playstation registration something. When I wanted to register to buy a game it did not allow me to create my account. I had to use another temporary email while I entered the account with my correct email and deleted it.

We should make a support group for the endless frustrations.

I should also point out that I connected with one of the similarly-named-email guy. When I recognize that it was directed to him, I'll just forward the email now.

I did something similar a while ago. I still have somewhere a DB with half a million recipes somewhere. I didn't continue it because I got stuck with the client side and I didn't find anyone interested in helping me.

Isn't this maybe some sort of affiliate marketing trick?

How's the SEO for this url going?

memes?

Can we have a similar list for sites that do not verify if the email adress is really owned by the user registering it?

Homicide rate have fallen since 1400. Nice. Why starting that far away? People understand time surrounding them of around 100 years. No one really compares themselves to people that lived 200 years ago or more.

For those who don't know, Switzerland sends all the material at home, you then can go to the ballot and post it or send it by post if it's not an important votation (if i remember correctly).

..and then you see people on Facebook bragging with more than one voting form/letter in their hands..

Not the best example of "unhackable" system...

Is Google Map's navigation updated too slowly?

Last Saturday (19th of March) I was checking the yearly traffic nightmare that germans and swiss-germans go into when they want to have a long weekend in Italy. Every year, many cars queue up on the fastest way to traverse Switzerland to go into Italy. This way is through the Alps, precisely the St Gotthard tunnel. This is a "slow" tunnel, since it is a two way tunnel. During the holidays to...
