If you try to do that on a site with Cloudflare, what happens? Do they read the zip file and try to cache the uncompressed content to serve it with the best compression algorithm for a given client, or do they cache the compressed file and serve it "as is"?

Cloudflare has free AI Labyrinths if your goal is to target AI. The bots follow hidden links to a maze of unrelated content, and Cloudflare uses this to identify bots. https://blog.cloudflare.com/ai-labyrinth/

TL;DR: Some code looking for Windows 95 or 98 only looked for "Windows 9" to match both, and would have matched Windows 9.

Now Apple has the year in the OS version we'll have people wondering in a few years what happened to iOS 19-25.

uxjw commented on The truth about soft plastic recycling points at supermarkets   everydayplastic.org/softp... · Posted by u/Kaibeezy

I didn’t see anyone else bring this up here, but the real issue with plastic recycling is twofold: it is a dead end and recycled plastics shed microplastics like crazy. Other materials, like aluminum, can effectively be infinitely recycled, but plastic cannot; recycled plastic is worse than virgin plastic in every way. It also destroys the environment around us, because recycled plastics are effectively really shitty plastics that shed everywhere.

In short, plastic recycling is a fraud perpetuated by greenwashing initiatives. The only proper thing to do with old plastic is to incinerate it at high temperatures that achieve complete combustion. This is rare though; most plastic is burned at low enough temperatures that it causes pollution.

Great stuff, plastic, huh?

Even if you buy aluminium cans, there's a thin layer of plastic lining to prevent reactions with the metal. I've also noticed lots of paper/cardboard packaging have a plastic coating.

At least the idea of a spherical model for sheep is quite useful. Spherical cows have been alone for so long.

> Eggs are ... the funniest and most versatile ingredients to work with

Very odd and somewhat amusing phrasing - presumably due to translation error? I'm assuming they meant 'most enjoyable' rather than 'funniest'.

They may mean funny as in odd

Can you temporarily change your whois info before you migrate to somewhere else?
uxjw · 7 months ago
I've had some registrars lock the domain from transferring for a few weeks after changing whois.
