News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This is more likely to be disinformation than it is to be true.

After the 'exploding pagers', every government was inspecting and scanning their devices.

It's in Mossad's favor to keep everyone second-guessing.

Hetzner support is terrible. Days waiting for a canned response that clearly shows they didn't read the ticket request at all.
Surprisingly fun. Thanks for sharing.

Will be shuttered in 3... 2... 1...

Cause it's Google.

I don't use new Google services. They've shut down too many that I loved and used daily.

So Pushover... but free?

How do they plan to keep it free? Ads?

No, still showing hosting at cloudflare.
It incorrectly identified my website as using Cloudflare. It isn't.

During covid lockdowns, several of the local, non-chain restaurants switched to 'members only' clubs because the way Colorado's covid emergency proclamation was crafted, the 'clubs' could stay open and continue to server food and drink.

My wife and I joined one at a nearby Mexican place so we could keep our date nights when all other restaurants were doing takeout only. Membership was free, they gave us a paper card we flashed at the door to get in.

That is some terrible contrast on that website in dark mode.
Re:Your open tabs are unfinished decisions, not bookmarks on Tuesday August 04, 2026 @01:54PM (#49172389)
Most of my opened tabs are waiting for a response or delivery; open support tickets, package tracking, etc. Those aren't unfinished decisions on my part but waiting on an action or response from others.
The cardinals that just stay at the top are OP.

And I'm sure some of these stats are caused by pedestrians staring at their phones as well.

You can't have a citizen's militia without an armed populace. If 'the people' don't have guns, you don't have a militia.

Did you see that ridiculous display last night?

What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?!

The problem with Arsenal is they always try to walk it in.

Ah, the internet. Always trying to recreate that one, red paperclip.

Re:Last.fm is now independent on Wednesday May 27, 2026 @12:14PM (#48296451)
So CBS spun them back out as their own corp or did the employee's or someone else buy it from CBS?

Just declaring themselves independent without details doesn't provide much context. I feel like Michael Scott just declared bankruptcy.

The article says that 44% loss is in pre-production, specifically the manufacturing of the yarn. Long before the textile is woven, let alone cut.
This makes no sense. Sure, he got nearly every prediction wrong but so have their meteorologists. Why just pick on poor ol' Nate?
Which is it? A random coffee shop or a Starbucks.

In the USA, I could leave my laptop at a small town coffee shop without any trouble, but never a Starbucks, which are only in larger towns and cities.

Re:American Dads Became the Parents Their Fathers Never Were on Thursday April 30, 2026 @04:56PM (#47968125)
As a GenX dad and now grandfather, I couldn't be happier to read this.

Every dad wants his sons to be a better father than he was. Glad to see it happening.

Nothing strengthens the knees like the weight of responsibility.

Play stupid games... win stupid prizes.

The judicial, nation-wide blocks on CDN IPs is absurd and should have never been allowed.

I chose 'Colorado' from the state dropdown and got a blank page. Does the site work at all?
Re:What was the first life restoration of a sauropod? on Friday February 27, 2026 @01:28PM (#47183778)
I had to click and read to satisfy my curiosity of what "life restoration" was in this context.

I was expecting Jurassic Park action but found the old illustrations to be surprisingly delightful.

I remember doing research in the print version of the World Factbook back in college days. It was the most accurate and up-to-date info we could get on countries before the Interwebs. RIP.

I've heard CapitalOne does the same thing... send paper mail saying their emails aren't being read.
