  • Registrar recommendation?

    Jump

  • Ditto all of this.

    There are no good decently priced domain registrars at the moment. Even porkbun is just a cloudflare reseller now. The only downside of going with cloudflare is that don't let you use your own nameservers (at least that was true the last time I checked a few years ago), but if you don't already know that you want that, you probably don't need it.

  • What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads?

  • That looks to me more like it's Amazon removing them, assuming that's happening when you load the page. They probably remove them so that people don't copy and share affiliated links so that they don't have to pay out more to their affiliates program.

  • Heh, I can actually pick myself out in that picture.

    And just to confirm, yes, it was really fucking cold out.

  • Does Prusas textured sheet...work at all?

  • Dried with laundered microfiber cloth.

    You don't use fabric softener or dryer sheets, do you? If you do, your cloth has a layer of wax on it that acts as a release agent on your bed.

  • The coins themselves don’t have any monetary value. [...] And then, the creators, etc. that you pay, would then be able to cash out those coins for real currency.

    The ability to 'cash out' means they do have monetary value.

  • If you use paper towels to clean your bed: Do your paper towels feel 'papery'? If not they might be waxed.

    If you use reusable towels to clean your bed: Do you use fabric softener? Don't.

  • [Resolved] Is there an opensource game store for linux that supports GoG?

  • Heroic and Lutris are both what you're describing.

    I think it may also be possible to install GOG Galaxy in bottles and use that directly, but I've never tried that myself.

  • What's the weirdest bug in a program you found in a project you didn't write?

    Jump

  • 🤷, embedded device manufacturers were really bad at software back then. I honestly don't remember the details anymore.

  • Yeah, to be fair, there was an issue getting string.h to work (so i could just use strstr) with the vendor's shitty toolchain, that took me talking to an engineer at the vendor, and the dev who wrote that was out of our Taiwan office. But also, my first fix was just doing a sort of sliding-window check, manually checing for s[0] == '\n' && s[1] == 'C' && s[2] == 'o' &&..., which was gross, but much more correct.

  • I worked at an IoT platform startup. All of our embedded device demos stopped working August 1st. I was told the same thing happened last year, but it was fine, things would start working in September. I decided to go fix it anyway. Eventually I figured out the culprit was a custom HTTP library. Instead of doing anything sensible, the way it found the Content-Length header was to loop over the bytes of the response until it found the first 'g' add 5 to that pointer and then assume that whatever was there was the number of bytes it should read. Unfortunately, HTTP responses have a Date header which includes the month and August has a 'g' in it.

    There were a bunch of these demo devices already flashed and shipped out. The 'fix' to get them to work, even in August, was to downgrade requests to HTTP 0.9 which didn't require a Date header in the response.

  • https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm

    Is it legal for a business in the United States to refuse cash as a form of payment?

    There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.

    A few states have introduced bills to require taking cash (Idaho, Mississippi and North Dakota), but as far as I'm aware none have ever actually passed into law.

  • That's not really relevant here yet. GP doesnt have a "debt" before the transaction takes place. Nothing about that statement forces a business to do business with you. They are perfectly within their rights to only agree to do business with you if you pay in chickens.

  • Mod(s) for 1 day = 1 day?

    Jump

  • Thanks for that suggestion. I found a couple of containerized multiplayer "servers": https://github.com/cavazos-apps/stardew-multiplayer-docker and https://github.com/JunimoHost/junimohost-stardew-server that seem to (as best I can tell) both run a game client as the server. So it sounds like a dummy player seems to be the way to go.

    Haven't tried either of those yet though. I assume the JunimoHost one, at least, won't work with the current version of Stardew.

    I've found a couple mods to change timescale that would let me have 1 second = 1 second, but nothing so far that would let me match the time of day properly. Now I'm considering writing a mod for this myself. I just need to decide if all of this is actually worth my time...

  • A crucial point was ensuring that all layers were deposited at or near room temperature, thus [...] [allowing] the use of plastic or polymer substrates, opening the door to the flexible electronics of the future.

    So, to answer the headline, no. This isn't about the top end, its more about the bottom end I guess?

    Plastic layers don't sound great for heat dissipation or max temp, but still very interesting for miniaturization of low end stuff.
