Yep, the radio calls said something about -47C temp, them already fighting icing and “precipitation” ahead.

ADS-B shows it as 32,000 fpm in the final 2 data records.

Careful when downloading via a German ISP - looks like people already made a tracker to easily file lawsuits against anyone who dares to torrent (and thus redistribute) this:

That time was also when people could just add useful information to articles without some self-declared gatekeeper/“curator” removing everything they cannot grasp or simply deem uninteresting again.

If you’re drunk and bump your head into a lantern, would you say that haematomas are a side-effect of alcohol consumption?

OSM editor Go Map!! also has a "Quests" overlay that is very similar to Street Complete (even uses the same icons). And you can also define custom quests for data you want to easily gather.

However, it's lacking the nice example pictures for each option - so, with Go Map!! you need to know what you're doing.

It's https://osmapp.org - as in OsmAPP. Not to be confused with https://osmaps.org, the Ordnance Survey Maps.

https://cartes.app is trying to do this. OsmAnd is quite usable as well.

For navigation there's Magic Earth (can route around traffic jams), TomTom, and Scenic. OsmAnd can also do routing.

Or the EU with their online chat control. First round they couldn’t get a majority. Then, they sneakily turned it around so people had to vote to NOT want it. The day they did the second vote, many were on holiday and thus it passed.

YouTuber Pleasant Green has several videos about all those fake ads making rounds. The one about fake old people is this one:

Twitter has the “Following” tab that only shows stuff from the accounts you’re following. Facebook has something similar, just a bit more hidden.

But IMHO the bigger problem is that people became less social in general. I remember those fearmongering messages doing rounds which made people lock up their profiles and not post anything about their holidays as burglars could use that information to break into their houses.

Then there’s this thing where most people try to craft this perfect online presence with only carefully (and often heavily edited) photos and nothing too personal.

And in general, people seem to be much less open than “back in the early days”. Say “Hi!” to someone in the wrong mood and you’ll just get insta-blocked. Everybody is just caressing their profile but don’t want to have anything to do with the “social” part of the social network. Well, apart from collecting likes.

Also: something something every village had their idiot, now they form (online) villages

At a former workplace where most stuff was done in PHP, some colleagues used whitespace very liberally. Like, indentation was just a random amount of whitespace, every line slightly different. Sometimes 2 or more spaces between keywords, etc.

After that experience Python code is like eye-bleach to me.

For most CLI/TUI tools, TerminalTrove has a short video showing the tool in operation:

And yes, a proper homepage should have this, too. It’s just that the link in the OP isn’t the proper homepage for LazyGit.

KeePassXC has a merge feature for this scenario. Apps like Strongbox (macOS/iOS) merge automatically while saving. And I believe there are more apps doing this.

I wonder whether Delphi/Lazarus would be better suited for a native GUI on each platform. But you’d have to compile your app for each separately.

Fun fact: macOS hex editor "Hex Fiend" uses Tcl for its templating language:

https://github.com/HexFiend/HexFiend/tree/master/templates

In that situation I’d rather use sshfs and whatever editor I’m fancying the most for the job.

I've simply blocked whole ASNs for Meta, Google, AWS, etc.

Similar to how people running an open SMTP are complicit in promoting spam, I see people running a wild public proxy as complicit in this malicious scraping activity.

And similar to how most people running mail daemons are using blackhole lists nowadays and are keen to not end up on there, maybe ISPs and web hosters can use the AbuseIPDB to sort out their customers.

Just doing nothing doesn't appear to stop the scans hammering my poor Raspberry Pi serving my few Git repositories.

Many thanks! I've just submitted the first batch of 3000 (daily limit) IP addresses.

I’d love a service like spamcop.net where I could submit my access_log and they lookup the abuse addresses and file abuse reports in my name. Maybe if people’s Internet access gets suspended they’ll think about installing random apps that work as a proxy in the background.

If these were actual legitimate bots using a known user-agent and coming from the same subnet so you could throttle their requests it would be fine.

But I’m seeing requests coming in from random IP addresses from all over the world using randomised user-agents. But somehow these are trying URLs in sequential order. A while ago this would be classed as a DDoS cyber attack.

You know, there was a time when people actually paid to have their content hosted online. You read that right. Instead of trying to make money with a website, people PAID money to have a website.

Every good editor can make these “invisible” characters visible.

It will be the equivalent of that Excel =COPILOT(“sum the numbers above”) meme.

I was looking forward to a new version of the macOS CD/DVD burning software.

No, from the conversations I overheard these people have never heard of those 1-litre bag rules for flights in the EU. So, they clearly haven't even looked at all those posters.

Doesn’t work. I was in a queue at SXF airport once. Everybody in the queue passed at least 5 whiteboard-sized posters explaining in detail that you need a 1 litre bag and what’s supposed to go in there. Also, what things you need to present at the check. Those same posters lined the walls of the hall. Yet basically every second person acted completely surprised when the security officer asked for their 1 litre bag. It’s as if those people forgot their brain at home and were all on autopilot.
