Project to Extend UK Rural 4G Mobile Cover Faces 2 Year Delay https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2023/10/project-to-extend-uk-rural-4g-mobile-cover-faces-2-year-delay.html

Time for DNS to propagate normally: a couple minutes, go make a cup of coffee or something

Time for DNS to propagate after fixing a typo in a record: The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again

How retro kick ass is that? Flash is resurrected sans the neglected, proprietary, security ridden, plugin bs of Adobe; thanks to Rust, and modern day sandboxed WebAssembly. No plugin required; small, compact, compatible engine, that unlocks decades of lost SWF content in all its vector visuals, MP3 stereo, and ActionScript-y glory. https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle #flash #adobe #webdev #javascript #rust #retrogaming

@symmetrizer Right?! I kind of want to print and cut little floppy disk sleeves for the SD cards.

Welcome to another #RailwaysExplained thread... a brand new one this time. A couple of weeks back @chris asked about specific challenges in electrifying railways in mountainous and forested terrain.

Lets first take a look at what characteristics mountain railways have which differentiate them from lowland ones...

And here's the #CSS switcher in action!

This is CSS *only*. No JavaScript involved.

Sadly, doesn't yet work on Firefox due to the lack of `:has()` support.
And it won't remember your choice. That's tomorrow's challenge.

So, Mastodon:

1. Not difficult to sign up for
2. Not difficult to use
3. Has an app like every other social media network
4. Not owned by world’s richest man
5. Not owned by a company whose main platform has been credibly accused of facilitating genocide by the United Nations
6. Not funded by the guy who made the last place, which sold itself to the world’s richest man
7. Doesn’t have a crypto thing going on
8. Free and open source
9. Administered by a crowdfunded nonprofit
10. Decentralized, portable, and interoperable

I’m writing this because it has been weird to watch some journalists and people who are fully aware of Facebook’s catastrophic history with things like disinformation,

@TheSpaceshipper I know the guy who actually did the camera work for those shots: Tim McHugh. He became my boss at Area 51 working on Space: Above & Beyond.

And here’s the Tyrell building miniature which now lives at the Museum of the Moving Image in Brooklyn, NY.

This piece from 404 Media's @jasonkoebler on why he now believes Mastodon is the best option out of the social networks is funny, nuanced, poignant. Touches on moderation, audiences, interoperability, more.

You don't need a reason to want to block adverts.

It doesn't have to be for security reasons (although there are good security reasons).

You don't have to do it because you want to lessen online surveillance (although that's a good thing too).

You can do it just because you don't want someone trying to sell you something the whole damn time, getting up in your face and interrupting your reading/viewing.

You can block ads because it's simply a form of self-care.

Haven’t been here for a while, but hope to be here more frequently. A good friend has offered to help me with some aspects of the mechanics of the place that puzzled me earlier.

Okay! I just end-to-end on my Linux laptop did a python->quartus->deploy to SD build of a Analogue Pocket core! And it runs!

My Linux laptop is now a fully armed and operational development workstation!
