I had quite a few cables with a yellow crimp "jackets" just behind the RJ45. IIRC they came with DSL modems / routers
Pretty trivial to replace CFC with HCFC gases (which breaks down more easily in the atmosphere) compared to moving away from fossil fuels.
Re:Librepods: AirPods liberated from Apple's ecosystem on Monday June 29, 2026 @01:59PM (#48722746)
You have to put them in pairing mode first: For airpod pros: Open the lid, keep the earbuds in the case, double tap your finger on the case just below the green led, The led should start to flash white and the airpods now appear in the device list in linux so that you can pair with them. Non-pro have an physical button on the rear IIRC.

There is definitely also a manager dick-measuring contest based on headcount, going on in large orgs.
Not sure what you mean by cryptographic strength - they are both Unique ID generators, not meant for anything related to cryptography.

UUIDv7 has 62 bits of random data, ULID uses 80 bits, so if anything ULID is "stronger" (meaning less chances of generating the same id within the same millisecond)

I stumbled over your string art turtle some time ago and like one of the commenters on [1], I was wondering about your tool to create points from a image

Sounds like the people behind Solar Roadways found a new project.

Not a great analogy, since a digital copy leaves the original intact unlike your apples
Different countries have different laws regarding what falls under freedom of speech. The CDN providers say they take a net-neutrality stance. If a court order from a specific country tells them to block certain sites, I'm pretty sure they will comply, but only for clients coming from within that country.
You are missing the point. Blocking a CDN providers IP range, means blocking all the websites using the CDN - not just the nazi-poster.com.

I've heard that a major hurdle for these "cell-factories", is moving from lab to industrial scale. Ofc initial cost of the product is typically also a lot higher, but that is the same of any product addressing externalities of existing production

Re:How Ancient People Saw Themselves on Thursday October 30, 2025 @06:17AM (#45758277)
Thanks, I see your point. Was not trying to be snarky/funny, but rather come with counter example to parent. I was thinking about the (recent) "Era of globalization" - but perhaps that is too short of a time span to be called an era
Re:How Ancient People Saw Themselves on Thursday October 30, 2025 @05:26AM (#45757965)
Why the down vote? This was a factual statement and not some judgement: The name implies that some previous "era" was greater than the current - and hence current cannot be the pinnacle.

Apparently MAGA disagrees

Re:Solar leads EU electricity generation as renewables hit 54% on Wednesday October 01, 2025 @03:57PM (#45442598)
You must have some other sources than that site. Downloaded the CSV, and at the risk of misinterpreting the columns here is some simple filtering:

% of total energy generation

  EU Coal   9.64%
  US Coal  14.88%  
  CH Coal  57.77%

  EU Solar 11.19%
  US Solar  6.91%
  CH Solar  8.32%
Largest generation source

  EU Nuclear 23.57%
  US Gas     42.51%
  CH Coal    57.77%
This ofc only says something about generation and not consumption
Re:Hiring only senior engineers is killing companies on Tuesday September 30, 2025 @01:58AM (#45422384)
I was thinking about basic tool use. I expect a junior engineer candidate to wield a computer way better than my mom. They are applying for a junior engineer position not and apprenticeship starting with close to zero training. I have no problem with candidates who stumble and make awkward choices during the interview, as juniors by definition lack experience and the interview process is a stressed situation.
Re:Hiring only senior engineers is killing companies on Tuesday September 30, 2025 @01:23AM (#45422197)
Some points in parent comment are absolutely valid IMO. Would you hire a carpenter who walks back and forth to his toolbox to pickup at single nail at a time and then use the hammer with both hands near the head. And when cutting a 4x4 beam will use 1-inch strokes with the handsaw (again with two hands).

That was the extreme case - the multi-scan would be gotten if a casual reader tried your (neat by all means) AND-only query on a non-indexed table (or partially indexed for that matter).
