I imagine they’d be eyeing things like having a partnership with patreon so patrons get access to an exclusive subreddit at a certain tier (with reddit getting some cut). Not saying patreon specifically would go for that but I imagine that type of monetization is what they’d be mostly considering. Or maybe a better example would be something in the realm of substack. Paying directly for access is hard to get people to go for without a third party with financial incentive to drive content.
MXRoute is about a decade old and based in Texas. It’s in that “unix philosophy” category of doing something well and stopping there so you won’t get them advertising their new crypto wallet or AI software on you. It’s mostly geared for more technical bring your own domain type of usage. If you’re wanting to use it more as a forwarder and want to store the history locally (or if you don’t email files) there’s a “lifetime” plan available.
They probably have a bunch of 1 hour ‘books’ that mess with the average as shorter is cheaper to help pad out their numbers.
Looking at my personal library, the median length audiobook is The Last Wish at a tad over 10 hours. So it’d be equal to 1.5 books going by that, not the worst marketing exaggeration I’ve ever seen.
Simple: make friends with someone with high speed internet who’s not very savvy, keep up the charade until they allow you to borrow their computer. Then you install a headless vpn server with logging disabled. Boom, high speed local VPN that doesn’t point to you. Just buy them a $2.50 beer once a month to keep up pretenses in case you need to do maintenance.
You up voted “how did “step” porn become so popular when we did such a good job keeping scat and insest porn out of the mainstream for so long” and “I didn’t forget your birthday either.”
And down voted “seamless seeking”
I can say you’re not subscribed to the like two communities on my instance. Subscription (follows) mostly only go to the instance hosting the community in question. Voting goes everywhere though.
Marineland owner Marie Holer told media the park was seeking a buyer to “transition” the park from its current uses into a new potential year-round attraction — indicating that any upcoming closure might just be a stepping stone for the park.
Can they just hand ownership over to the deer? Feeding the deer was always the best part of the place in its heyday. And the deer would certainly do a better job running the place.
Harder than implementing RSS. Less hard than writing Linux from scratch. Where it lays in the middle depends a shitload on your requirements. How much you want to federate (a blog post VS conversations for instance), do you try for exact compatibility with existing services VS using a different activity type, is it one way or bidirectional, how does it need to scale, etc. I don’t know of a generic library you can use so you’d need to read and understand the spec.
This is a strong example for the distinction between abundant comments and good documentation. Comments should describe why and how, not what. Comments on every single line stating what the line is doing is rarely a good sign. Despite all the comments, it’s not super clear what it actually does from a user perspective and why someone would want to use it. I assume it’s meant to be a templating system for text documents.
Node packaging is fucked. Node packaging remains fucked. And we have fucked it. How shall we comfort ourselves, the makers of all unmaintainable spaghetti? What was webscale and most utilitarian of all that the computers have yet executed has ground to a halt under our keyboards: who will wipe this blood off us?
What’s even the sales pitch for an internet connected toothbrush? Monitor if your kid actually brushed their teeth? Feedback from the “sonic” vibration forming a quasi ultrasound for cavities?
I have one of the ones that has an internal stopwatch to break the brushing down to 4 x 30sec. I thought that seemed pretty smart for a brush.
The features described could be accomplished with a PIR motion sensor. I don’t see any reason they’d go to the expense of adding a camera, especially since infrared is better for operating in the dark like you’d expect for an alarm clock that’ll need to be able to wake kids at 6am in the winter.
