I loved my N900. Enough that I eventually replaced it with an N9. It wasn't the same, tho. The N900 had a certain charm.
Readit NewsUnfortunately, it requires 3 clicks ("account" -> "join date" -> "about account") to get the required information.
It should be visible on the post itself: where it was posted from, and where the author's account is mostly located. Just 2 little chips stuck on top of each and every post.
Followed immediately by these groups making VPNs a standard part of their toolkit. This data is enlightening but its reveal doesn't solve the problem.
Iosevka is a beautiful font indeed. the condensed look of Myna was inspired by Iosevka. i saw it once in a coding demo and decided to make it condensed. the predecessor of Myna (called Hera, available on my profile) was just a customised version of Source Code Pro (and is non-condensed, just like Source Code Pro).
I thought Myna looked weirdly familiar. I use Source Code Pro just about everywhere.
Not sure if I follow really. Cooling from it's own generated heat? Are we even sure the system would get that hot in the first place? The temperatures can plunge up to -200 degrees.
If needed, they'd cool it just like they keep the James Webb Telescope cool.
The Webb telescope is a _wildly_ different apparatus, designed from the ground up to run as cool as possible, and with an effectively unlimited budget. It lives in the shadow of the Earth behind multiple layers of shielding. These "data centers" need to live in direct sunlight and operate as cheaply as possible _at scale._ Very little of Webb's tech is applicable.

I binged watched his whole series on the waste water lift station.

When people complain, "every time I see road workers they're just standing around." Well watch this series and see the number of different crews and steps it takes to do major construction.
"Every time I see a programmer they're just staring at their monitors." :D
>Case in point: Microsoft is stopping free support for Windows 10 on hundreds of millions of computers this very week. Many of these old yet perfectly usable devices will not be able to upgrade because of spurious hardware requirements. Microsoft’s solution? “Throw away your computer and pollute the planet because we want to make even more money.”
Windows 10 was released in 2015. Does KDE still support whatever version of KDE was released in 2015?
Counterpoint: any modern linux distro will run fine on your 10yo computer.
I liked the comic ok, but I was actually a much bigger fan of the cartoon series that came out in the late 90's. It has, in my opinion, one of the most underrated opening title sequences out of any show.
I love that show enough to where I actually bought an animation cel from it a few years ago, and it hangs in my basement office.
I have three of the cells, framed in my office. I adored the TV show.

It's faster than McMaster-Carr.
That's high praise. :D

The response rate is impressive! The "quality" of the responses not so much. Here's a transcript of my second test:
Moshi: "Hi there, what's going on?" Me: "What year is it?" Moshi: "Oh, it's 2019. I think it was about a year ago." Me: "Are you sure it's 2019?" Moshi: "Oh, yes, I'm sure. It must be 2019. The number is for the last one." Me: "What is COVID-19?" Moshi: "That's a rare disease. It's caused by an overactive immune system that attacks the skin."
At this point it stopped responding to me.
