I remember a time when skype was p2p and it was easy to find IPs with netstat

As a donor I had to spend some amount of time finding where to donate, that could be more explicit

I feel like you paid a lot for that SSD, I think I bought 1TB for 150€ at about that time. Still, prices now are great

Regular occurence as a fullstack dev

me: “I make websites”

Them: “What kind of websites ?”

me: “All kinds”

They don’t need to know about the rats answering queries in the back-end

Looks like the kind of product you could find at Omega Mart

ChatGPT is definitely something that’s been mentioned by my family and friends so that’s not the example I would use, but I think the echo chamber impression applies to most trends in tech

I was able to install it this time (not using obtainium), I can log in and see my feeds, that’s a good start. Keep up the good work.

Same as others reported, I often install apps that way but with that apk I get "You can’t install the app on your device’

My go-to reddit app was Slide and Jerboa is the one that ticks the most boxes for me except it’s buggy so I tried Thunder but didn’t like the style and Connect but I really didn’t like the slide-to-vote feature. I’m eager to see that Slide port that someone announced last week

The math is a bit weird: currently they have 3GW for 700 thousand households and 100GW should somehow serve 100 millions. Anyway great news, hopefully it inspires more countries to do similar projects

I hate ads and I do pay for what I really enjoy (youtube premium, patreon, etc). Plus nowadays the internet is often 99% SEO padding so I don’t want to dilute the content even more with ads.

One of my first internet experience was on a forum for a kid tv channel. There was a point system where posting a message would give you a point and certain amount of points would grant you ranks. I discovered that sending private messages also counted and clicking space repeatedly when submitting a message would multiply the message and the points. I am sorry to whoever received thousands of mps every single day back then but I had a lot of fun increasing that rank.

That may also explain why I still like incremental games nowadays

Living in different countries made me realize how little people usually know about others. I like to remind people that calling things “strange”, “weird” or saying “Nobody would do xyz” is often wrong and people just a flight away actually find this normal

Still in that country I worked for a company made of 100% foreigners. When I joined the boss took me under his wing and try teaching me the ways in this country and how to get sh*t done. It took a disagreement on product roadmap for me to realize that he was not technically good, he was actually racist and I definitely didn’t want him as a role model. Now I’m extra careful on seeing the signs early

In France tap water is drinkable and good almost anywhere, the exceptions being in some cities during drought or due to unusual pollution. I actually dislike most mineral bottled water because I find it tastes like something.

I used to live in Thailand, while the authorities say the water is good you’ll likely get sick if you drink water straight from the tap. I used to buy my water from a filtering machine near my condo.
