Great write up, now I have to google what a Meraenne Twister is. To use audio input noise as a random number gen I would just hook it up to a pressision digital db meter but I’m guessing the software implementation is a little more practical.

That’s pretty interesting about the scout cars.Is there any sort of indication thats what they’re doing? I will say given Google’s track record I wouldn’t put it past them to intentionally route traffic near where their paid advertiser’s money comes from.

Well how was I supposed to figure out that my docker node running on libreelec won’t connect to the swarm because the kernel was compiled with out the The Berkeley Packet Filter protocol.

Speak for your self.

Sounds interesting. I know there’s technologies like LorA and BLE that create networks on different frequencies other than what standard wifi uses. But they don’t really have a lot of bandwidth.

Are you talking about Ham radio

Gotcha, https://paulgo.io/search seems to be working if you want to try a public instance of SearxNG. I’m also a class of 2000 damn dirty millennial.

I’ve self hosted a SearxNG for about a year now. If your familiar with docker it’s pretty easy. I always forget I have it because I pay for Kagi, but I set it up so ollama could use it. It absolutely seems better than going directly to Google or Bing.

I did too, but it was a famicon because I was living overseas.

My kids are around that age and it’s a real struggle when all of their friends have one.

And now I will think of beer when ever I forget my local IP address.

Thanks, this list is great. I haven’t heard of most of these except for Brodie Robertson. I’ve been watching him on YouTube since he first started growing out that abomination of a beard.

Lol, you got 4 days of pre 9/11 military. Must of been glorious.

Hell yeah. That’s on my regular rotation.

I’m an indy game fan, Get Played sounds interesting.

Love 99% invisible, I’m going to check out tech won’t save us.

Same boat dude. That’s how I got YouTube premium. I uploaded like 500 GB of music for Google Music to host it and I could stream my own collection. Now I use Navidrome and my own server.

It’s only a matter of time until the premium users get ads. Just like Netflix, and cable TV before that. You will inevitably wind up paying to be advertised to.

House of leaves.

I mean dd claims they can handle a quettabyte but how can we but sure.

True, but it wasn’t the cloud provider that caught it. They just forwarded the letter to me from the company that monitors torrent swarms and records IPs.
