So, it sounds like this isn’t expected behaviour? Now that I’ve gone looking for examples, I can’t find any. Maybe there was some temporary problems yesterday…

Where do you live that Antarctica is “up”?

It’s only an interruption if you’re already busy and productive. This method helped me when I was going through a particularly bad period and couldn’t get anything done. The end of the Pomodoro wasn’t and interruption, but a goal that I was relieved to reach.

Once an end-to-end, encrypted, connection is established between a pair of peers then anything can be sent through it. The establishment proces is generally facilitated by a server of some description so neither peer needs to allow inbound connections. (I’m a long, long way from being an expert on this and happy to be corrected - but this seems like network fundamentals?)

When I was shopping for brakes, years ago, lots of told me SLX has all the quality/power of XT or XTR but they’re a tiny bit heavier and don’t have the prestigious badge. I went with SLX and have been very happy.

Wow my memory is bad - I’d forgotten I had seen them live until I read this. I had to look up their tour history to figure out that it must have been the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. Listening to their albums now I much prefer the earlier stuff, but they still put on a good show in '88.

I don’t know Bauhaus well - Bela Lugosi’s Dead was on a mixtape I got from someone, and I enjoyed it, so I listen to them a bit. But I imagine they would be awesome live - I’m jealous.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, supported by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, at the Coogee Bay Hotel in 1985, or maybe '86.

Arrived nice and early, just the right amount stoned, and got right up front leaning on the stage.

I thought I was doing well with 8 down and 20 up! In my defence - a lot of the stuff I’m seeding is old (10+ years) and I’m the only seed.

Agree the editing looks good, but I don’t feel the template fits. I don’t think the orange one is capable of the realisation and self reflection depicted in the last panel.

This makes me so angry. I have a nice Sony TV that I paid a lot (for me) of money for in 2021. Since I bought it they’ve been sneeking in more and more ads - when I bought was just when they started with the viewing “recommendations” (even though the things they recommend were often on services I didn’t subscribe to), then some of the recommendations started to be for Kia cars etc. and now just last week we got a fucking full screen, with volume, ad for a McFlurry when we turned it on!

I’ll be pulling my old NVIDIA shield out soon. I’m hoping there is an ad free android tv I can flash onto it and put the TV permanently on HDMI 1.

It’s a 3 way tie between Back in Black, Led Zeppelin II and Wish You Were Here.

Where I live I have a choice between symmetric 1Gbps Bell, ~100/20Mbps Starlink or a local wireless provider that sells packages up to 50Mbps down and unspecified up, but is actually more like 5Mbps.

I’ll stick with Bell.

It has no bridge mode. It has a DMZ function, but it is not reliable. I just use it as a router and dhcp server. I use my own access points for wifi. Unless I use a VPN they can see all my traffic anyway so I’m not really losing any privacy by using their router.

Sometimes you have no choice. I’m on Bell Canada fibre and as far as I’ve been able to determine there is no way to connect to that fibre other than their modem/router.

On a Commodore64?

I recently learned this, and changed mine to English only. I still see non-English communities in All. I suspect it’s up to community owners to set the language of their community and a lot don’t?

Nothing that exciting. I just live in a very small community, quite a distance from any larger community, and I’m pretty sure that at the scale of that map - my community doesn’t exist. If I zoom in enough, maybe there’s something there, but I think it’s digital compression artefacts.

I don’t think I am - and I do like it.

India has 17% of the world’s population - on a scale like this image, that’s not far off “about half”! It looks right to me.
