I appreciate your taking the time to reply! And yeah, I was aware that H700 is the new kid on the block as it pertains to Rocknix. It's just a bit frustrating, especially because (imo) the Anbernic H700 devices are the…
Spent today goofing around on it, and on the RGCubeXX, it's pretty busted. Waking up from sleep has about a 1/3 chance of success, the other 2/3rds of the time the whole thing just hard-freezes and needs a full reboot,…

It's an ASCII art of a nude woman. So what? It just seems like such a busybody thing to get one's feathers ruffled over.

The database idea is neat, but I'm not really sure what the web emulator part adds besides bloat. Either an animated .GIF or an HTML5 object with buttons to click to demonstrate, e.g., standing horizontal jump…
Webrings were usually a centralized and automated entity. You'd add your site to the index (either through a webform or by emailing the maintainer), then link to http:// web-ring.tld…
In the old days - back before smartphones, back before widescreen monitors, back before broadband - the "Links" section was always a key part of any site. After spending time on a site, a visitor could find links to…
The tech community, correctly or incorrectly, is broadly seen as "anti-tax cuts", so - regardless of the actual merits of this particular tax cut - I'm not sure how well-received this campaign will be. I'd brace for…

We also use it because it's super-easy to mold, and is incredibly suited to mass production. The ease with which it can be shaped might even be the single most compelling reason to go plastic. Plastic takes the best…

And I ported DOOM to it. Well, it's actually just a hardcoded slideshow of E1M1 while something vaguely approximating the main riff of At Doom's Gate plays inconsistently in the background, but you'll have to watch all…
"Any" is a pretty mighty word to throw around. As has been stated multiple times in this thread and basically any thread involving conversation on the topic, a PoW with a negligible cost (either of…
How do you propose the server distinguish between a bot and a human visitor?
Because URL shortening is relatively trivial to implement, and instead of just doing so on their own end, they decided to rely on a third-party service. Considering link permanence was a "founding principle", that's…
Just send me out there and aim the pulse at the one spot in the middle of my back I just can't quite reach.

Passenger travel is easy mode. The economic consequences of disrupted freight dwarf anything you could imagine from disrupted passenger travel of equal duration. That's why the US has always strived to do a really,…
Oh, yeah, duh. Sorry about that. The file picker route is generally fine*, though I still think the edge cases where I want a program to be able to modify another program's files in-place are numerous enough that I…
