I'm not sure I'd dismiss the risk so much. With burn temperatures reaching 600C, nearby electrolytes being vented also resulting in smaller burst explosions, difficulty in suppressing the fire, cars with other flammable…
What I get though is that ICEs might be subject to more stringent regulation at least for charging in the future. At least in EU, cars with a compressed fuel tank (hydrogen, GPL or methane) cannot be parked in a closed…
Incidentally, SSDs also benefit from read and write locality. Although there's no seek penalty, there's still a large benefit from dispatching multiple reads and writes from/to the same cell. You get those for free by…
I have nothing against sixel, of course. But to put things in perspective, Sixel support by itself is not great. Definitely more supported than iterm's, but not universal. But when developing a new program that wants to…
Sixel is nice (and I use it all the time), but we do have better nowadays. iterm's image handling [1] is superior: it just encodes a modern and more efficient image format and sends it inbound to be decoded by the…
I've been using FF with resistFinterprinting on since it was available. Letterboxing does break a lot of websites and apps, sometimes making them unusable due to incorrect positioning and scaling of the elements.
This is pretty common, and systems like SA do this for you by batching responses and calculating a score. I found this to be pretty much worthless if you already have greylisting, even for high-quality curated lists…
I'm not contradicting his assertions. I actually confirm them: there is now a lot of spam coming from gmail. He's clearly one of the reasons.
I don't know about other servers, but on the systems I manage gmail itself is the #1 spam source since 3 years at the very least. If you look at my previous posts, I commented on this two days ago. There's literally…
Address reputation was always big, even back then. In the last years though, I cannot really recommend to use any of the DNSBL anymore. I've encountered more cases where legitimate servers were blocked due to netblock…
From my perspective (~500 employee mail server), greylisting had a much larger impact at the time, thanks to the spambots/viruses attempting direct connection to mail servers. Extremely effective, zero false positives,…
But do these operators actually perform deterministically? Does the page actually contains a match for my terms? In my experience, this has become less and less true. The first obvious mistake in the list is that google…
I also second PragmataPro. I've been using it for 5+ years now. The ligatures are fully optional, and the font comes in several variants for software that doesn't allow to select features. It's a slab serif, condensed.…
Fusion 360 has the better pricing model, it's that simple. 500$ is not too expensive even for a hobbist: you'll likely spend more on consumables in a single year. And there's simply nothing else of that value for that…
I use FreeCAD whenever possible. It's a very capable cad, despite the limitations. My main complaint is that history management in FreeCAD is poor, and the ability to assemble parts is very, very limited currently. That…
More probably because editors with a steep learning curve (emacs/vi) tend to select for people more willing to invest effort in learning. The same can be said for Go when Go was relatively new. You learnt [Go^H^Hnew…
Nim is actually great. The syntax is streamlined and you can pick it up in a few hours if you have some basic experience with python. Because it's effectively a transpiler and it's way less opinionated than (say) Rust,…
I'm currently using mutt with "getmail" (which does support IDLE), which I can recommend -- it's an excellent client, but only if you're fine with tweaking. I used TB until two years ago, but I gave up with it's unfixed…
IDLE is an old extension. Unfortunately Thunderbird is a crappy client.
The "new microsoft" provides a baseline operating system riddled with spyware, an update system that takes over the control of your system and pushes random content to your drive and a closed-as-ever groupware suite.…
FIY, IMAP actually allows "push messages" via the IDLE extension. If you use K9 on android, it's enabled by default. I never used gmail, but I'd be surprised if the gmail imap server didn't support it (and I would…
RSS support in FF was always poor, but that was often enough to preview a subscription. It didn't need to be more complicated than that. On the other hand, or hay, Firefox Screenshots!! Sooo useful. Pocket? It doesn't…
Enable forwarding to the new address. Update email contacts and accounts as needed. Be sure to check that forwarding exists on your new provider, just in case you'll have to do the same when switching again. Better yet:…
Well, tear-free video on intel gfx would be a _big_ deal (you remember, stuff we had in the 80-90ies?). Flicker-free boot is nice to have, but it's not a _big_ deal. I can live just fine if the boot flickers twice. But…
I don't know the exact situation in Germany or US, but in Italy, the "no profit, no taxes" is definitely not true. Depending on the company type you registered, there's a significant cost to just keep the ability to run…
