guess what just broke on my laptop after 2 years

I'm guessing it was the floppy drive?

My disaster recovery plan:

  1. I plan on not having a disaster.

  2. If I do have a disaster, I plan on trying to recover from it.

Fstoppers on YouTube: Printer Ink, It's a SCAM (www.youtube.com)

In this video, a Canon print cartridge is opened up and revealed not to contain the meagre 11.9 ml (0.4 fl oz) of ink it is advertised. The proposed solution is to buy a printer designed to be manually refilled with bottles of ink (such as the featured Epson EcoTank ET-2850), though it has only been tested briefly.

My biggest problem has been that the ink always dries up, since I don't print very often, and a laser printer has solved that for me. Now, about 3 years later, the black toner is still at 90%, and still working reliably.

Caddy reverse proxy handles that for me. I just set my domains' DNS to point to my public IP, where port 80 and 443 are forwarded to a server with Caddy listening.

Well, pack the flashlight and phone away and enjoy the movie.

That was fast.

What app do you use to read ebooks?

I'm looking for recommendations. I usually use Overdrive with books I've downloaded (I think in the epub format). But now I hear that Overdrive is no longer being supported (I think the company wants people to use their Libby app instead). I'm hoping to find something open source and privacy minded. Also not wild about what...

Honestly, I mainly just use Google Play Books, since that's where I buy most of my ebooks. I do download and de-DRM my purchased books though, since I don't trust Google to keep all my books available to me in the future.

On my eink reader, I also use either Google Play Books or the default reader app, "Neo Reader" I believe.

Could we stop with the viruses for a while, please? Just a few years is all I ask.

I like how it basically generated the Ubisoft logo.

Bluesky CEO responds | 2023-07-22 Letter to the Community (blueskyweb.xyz)

The social media platform Bluesky recently had an incident where a user created an account with a racial slur as the handle. The Bluesky team quickly removed the account but realized they should have had automated filters in place to prevent such issues. They are now implementing a two-step automated filtering and flagging...

Calckey sounds like a calculator/math/graphing application and Firefish sounds like another generic fork of Firefox.

The server needs to receive your password to verify it and log you it. That's how it always is. As long as you are connecting via HTTPS, this is not a problem.

The server would never see a plain text version of your password.

As you realized in your edit already, this part is not correct. The server would always receive your password plaintext (when signing up and when logging in), but only store it hashed and salted.

clb92,

The first paragraph is correct, but your second paragraph is not. A cryptographic hash function is a lossy one-way function. Knowing exactly how something was hashed does not mean you can turn the hash back into the starting value again.

They're implying that all the posts must be astroturfing.

So, Salvor thought turning a key and pulling a lever would be too complicated for Gaal, so she absolutely had to dive down and do it herself, risking both their lives... Top notch writing /s

I'm just waiting for the 1.20.1 build. Happy to hear that they're working on it.

I've found a bug: The article preview buttons disappear after page reloads if bookmarks feature is turned on.

Once they're gone, I can toggle the "show article preview button" twice to get them to show up again, but once the page reloads, they flash briefly and disappear again. If I disable the bookmarks feature, they work as expected.

We're experiencing so many federation issues, I think. There's much less content in the communities/magazines I subscribe to when I browse them from Kbin, and in some I only see very old posts :(
