Do you know what libgen.is?

Anna’s archive references libgen plus more.

I thought that was making fun of R. Kellys Trapped In The Closet

That’s because a lot of these are “style parodies” where he parodies the style of a certain band.

Everything You Know Is Wrong is famously a style parody of They Might Be Giants.

Once you hear the style you can’t unhear it. He nails TMBG uncannily.

I was under the impression you could still do a cache:url style, but it seems impossible.

They’re caching them, they’re just not sharing that with the public anymore. I know it has a cache because the Google result shows a bunch of text from the page that no longer exists. That “preview” text is pulled from a cache if the “new” page is resulting in a 404. I was hoping there some way for users to still access it, even if esoterically, but even those options seem unavailable.

The meetup page is still up but Google Startups has been stripped from the image.

Also, the original page still shows up in Google searches, but was not archived on archive.org and I have been unable to find Google’s cached version of the page. Although they obviously have a cached version since the text is visible as a preview of what’s on the page.

Stay classy, Google.

“Thank you.”

Thanks for the heads up, I thought it was just me and gave up.

I like to think that Balatro is so popular it crashed the payment system, heh.

lmao that’s less creepy and more absurd it even made it into a “serious” film. Especially him using his thumb to make the hand move. I had never seen this. I’m dead.

EDIT: Also, Children of Men at least had the excuse that you can’t really film a live birth for a movie, you don’t really have a lot of options of how to show a realistic just-born baby. American Sniper has no such excuses this is hilarious.

I get a lot of hate for saying it, but this is how I feel about the creepy CGI baby from the otherwise top tier film Children of Men. It ruins an otherwise powerful scene for me.

It’s also why the first thing that came to my mind was the “Do you want tribbles?”

Devs:

I have altered the code. Pray I do not alter it any further.

Do you do much uploading or want to host anything for friends to stream from you?

A DOCSIS 3.0 modem tops out at 100Mbps upload, while a DOCSIS 3.1 tops out at 2Gbps upload. I know Comcast/Xfinity sucks, but they’ve definitely rolled out 2Ghz download and 2Ghz upload symmetrical connection in some areas.

I agree that 1Ghz seems plenty, but I regularly feel more limited by upload speeds, personally. If upload doesn’t matter so much to you, then that’s the only thing that stood out to me as a difference.

With WiFi the bigger question is if where you live is so big that you need extenders of some type. Even with more modern “mesh” systems, you still often need hardwired Access Points.

If the only WiFi you use is your router, because you’re in a small house/apartment, then you don’t really need anything fancy and an AC wireless router will do you fine. If you need a large area covered and don’t want dead zones, you’ll need proper mapping and setting up of Access Points whether you are using a more modern mesh network or not.

Raul Julia as Voyager’s Doctor would have been amazing.

There’s also SimpleX chat and Briar, but I’ve used both of those less than Matrix. They seem to be aiming to solve the last few issues that Matrix has, like usernames and metadata leakage.

I consider Matrix to be closer to an “Enterprise” solution, like what a business or government or non-profit would use for secure communications (literally both French and German governments use Matrix), while SimpleX/Briar seem much more aimed at individuals just wanting control over their personal conversations.

Spin up your own server for best results.

Then you only have to worry about minor metadata leakage.

And if they had implented that to begin with and used servers that kept no logs he wouldn’t have had anything of value to hand over and they would have had to release him since he physically could not provide those things.

He built the damn situation for himself, and the fact that such issues weren’t considered practically screams “honeypot.”

but I can always find common things to complain about with old people.

Kristen Schall is great, but for folks who vibe with old people, Jo Firestone is where it’s at.

I personally think she’s super underrated, but if you pay attention, you’ll see her popping up in a lot of places. She does a lot of voice acting these days, too.

She also designed the game Punderdome with her father, which is just adorable.
