What is something that sounds 100% false but is actually 100% true?
Every Rubik's Cube, no matter how scrambled, can be solved in at most 20 rotations.

It is happening! r/place goes out with a bang

There was no bot net doing the outlines. The r/placeDE Discord prepared an overlay and distributed it to many other large communities and twitch streamers.
At the time or the whiteout the r/placeDE had 6500 active users in the voice chat coordinating to draw the outlines. A German streamer sent his 100k+ viewers to draw the letters. Other big communities also contributed.

Musk is undeniably just trying to run twitter into the ground at this point.

They blocked access in the back end, but didn't adjust the frontend to deal with this situation.
If you try to access twitter while not logged in the frontend requests tweets from the backend, gets an error response and therefore tries again around 10 times per second.

Was war das teuerste/beste Werbegeschenk, dass ihr je erhalten habt?
Außgenommen Mitarbeitergeschenke (also Werbegeschenke der Firma bei der ich arbeite nur an ihre Mitarbeiter) vermutlich ein 16GB USB-Stick der Uni Basel.
Und das war vor 5-6 Jahren, als man anderswo maximal 4, eher 2GB geschenkt bekommen hat.

Usually the websites and apps you use, but not what specific page you visit and it's content.
If you for example visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_unions_in_the_United_States they could see that you visited https://en.wikipedia.org/ but nothing more.
This is assuming that the website is encrypted (it starts with https://, not http://), which nowadays luckily most websites are. Otherwise they can see the specific page, it's content and most likely also all information you input on that page.

has your YouTube consumption decreased after implementing the "no history, no recommendations" feature?
Reply in thread
Before youtube disabled recommendation for people with watch history turned off, having watch history turned off made it so your recommendations were only based on channels you are subscribed to and possibly videos you've liked, commented on, ...
There are some categories where I only ever search for the category, then watch a video, but never subscribe to any channel. Those videos were never recommended to me. Meanwhile on my girlfriends pc with watch history turned on, as soon as I watch a single video from a channel she's not subscribed to similar videos appear all over the front page.

PSA: If you still have a Mojang account for Minecraft: Java Edition, you have less than a week left to migrate to a Microsoft account to avoid profile deletion
Reply in thread
I did it last week and always got an error trying to create a new microsoft account during the migration process, even in different browsers and after disabling adblockers. Then I just manually created a microsoft account on the microsoft website and in the minecraft migration process chose to use an existing account instead of creating one. That worked for some reason.

I've built myself a Redox (Open Source split keyboard).
That one has a number row. Also due to the possibility of programming multiple layers I can hold down a key on the left half, then use the right half as a numpad.
It would also be possible to program it as a toggle button to switch to jumped more, so you don't have to hold it down, but I prefer not having some kind of invisible state in my keyboard that I have to keep track of.

Es sind in Deutschland 61% des Schienennetzes elektrifiziert. Diese 61% des Netzes entsprechen aber immerhin 74% des Schienenverkehrs nach gefahrenen Kilometer (es sind also viel befahrene Strecken eher elektrifiziert als wenig befahrene).
Da ist zwar immer noch Platz nach oben, aber es ist auf jeden Fall deutlich besser als 60%.

Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month
Reply in thread
Yeah. That's normal if you subscribe to things through (iOS or android) apps.
Google and apple don't allow apps you roll their own payment methods to "protect their users". Apps have to use the Google/Apple payment system where Google/Apple take a 30% cut of every payment.
With YouTube being owner by Google they probably don't have to pay those 30% on Android, but they have to on iOS.

Reddit is ending Reddit Gold and users are furious
Reply in thread
I was subscribed to reddit Premium for a long time (at the old, grandfathered in price), because it gave me ad free browsing, the ability to sort saved posts into categories and filtering subs from r/all before that was available to everyone.
Premium also gave you 700 coins per month, so now I have 20000 coins saved up.

Anyone using "docker run" instead of "docker compose"?

Do you use podman run followed by podman generate or are you using quadlet?
Quadlet is integrated in podman 4.4 and up and makes it possible to declare your containers in .container files that look like systems unit files and still get the full systems integration: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/multi-container-application-podman-quadlet

Mostly no. PiHole works by providing a DNS server.
A DNS server is responsible for turning domain names such as en.wikipedia.org into internet protocol addresses such as 185.15.58.224.
PiHole has a list of known ad serving domains and when asked to resolve one just replies with an invalid address.
Running the DNS server itself would only give them access to the above mentioned data. However, they could respond with wrong addresses to redirect all traffic over a man in the middle proxy.
For an https secured connection this would just result in a certificate error, warning the user to not proceed. Https secured websites have a certificate electronically signed by a trusted outside party, that verifies that they really are the owner of a specific domain.
Another option would be to redirect the user to a man in the middle proxy that pretends to not support https in order to trick the browser and server into opening an unencrypted connection. This works on some websites, but can be noticed by the user (as the browser now displays "Not Secure" and "http://") in the address bar) and is protected again by newer security mechanisms like HSTS that allow websites to tell browsers to always contact them over https in the future.
Basically if the site supports HSTS and you have visited it before this also won't work.

This reminds me of the HTTP referer header, which started as a misspelling of referrer, but because everyone just went with it is now part of the standard.
