Do any anarchists here support "AES"?

If there's anarchists on Hexbear and none of them speak against AES, it's because they know not to mention it.

I guess I could see some anarchists support vague nonsense that sounds similar to an ML. Like having even less sympathy for an openly capitalist regime than ones that are or purport to be socialist. But they're obviously not anarchists if they genuinely support some states.

domain name with your own name?

It's good for email and personal sites (those aren't dead, but they're more popular for people that either write a lot or are self-employed). I'd only use a personal domain for self hosted apps if the users are just you and your family.

For something like hosting Lemmy, with users you don't know, I wouldn't use the same domain as where you host your other personal stuff, even if it's not your name.

Multipart archives still exist. They're now used for file sharing websites that have a maximum file size. Before that they were for unreliable p2p networks, so you didn't lose the parts you'd already downloaded when your peer goes offline. Originally it was to fit something big on multiple cd-roms or floppies.

Opening somthing.rar also reads the data in somthing.r01 through somthing.r15 etc

"Time Since Last Shower" tracking

I have also checked what time I showered with the logs of the humidity sensor. It's a small bathroom so humidity goes from like 30% to 50% in 2-3 minutes and to 60% by the time I'm done showering. Normal humidity here is 25 to 40. So I just put the trigger on 55%, no average or comparing with another room necessary.

My use case was triggering the existing ventilation but I haven't gotten around to changing the switch for that yet.

Should Airships Make A Comeback?

Reply in thread

Do you have any idea how much fusion you'd have to do to have it be a significant source of helium?

*edit: I was curious but had to guess ranges to do the maths. To fill a single Flying Whale airship, a 2 GW fusion plant needs to run between 90 and 850 years.

We should all be reading more Ursula Le Guin

Perhaps I should read Ursula's bag theory myself, because I'm not quite following how it applies to Solarpunk or talking about climate from this.

I like everything I've read of Le Guin. Just finished reading her last one, Lavinia (Pre-Roman historical myth based on the Aeneid). The Dispossessed is great and you get a feel for an anarchist society. She also wrote a good translation of the Tao te Ching.

There are multiple of us! I did the exact same thing, except for using my own name. Mine ends in .re of Réunion. I think it's fun so I'm keeping it.

For sharing it offline I have a big text widget on my phone. They usually get it if they can read it, but not if I spell it out.

DOJ: Google must sell Chrome, Android could be next

Reply in thread

It'd be good for Android to be mostly its base, the Android Open Source Project. Over the years Google put more and more things in the proprietary part of Android (Google Play Services) instead of AOSP.

Depends on who takes over whether that gets better of course. If they also put too much in Play Services, or ask the manufacturers for a high fee, yes it's possible we go back to more oem flavours.
