I used to work two jobs and the middle of the night was the only time I could shop and I still don’t want them to go back to that.

That is great news if they stick to it. Ttheir WebOS TVs are becoming slimier and slimier.

For all its very real shittiness, you will likely find that Amazon ships faster, has lower prices, has a better selection, and much easier returns than other online shops. This almost entirely the result of their massive monopolistic power. I don’t begrudge people that are squeezed for time and money from trying to save either, but Amazon needs to be broken up.

We’ll see about that… John’s Pass in Pinellas county was created about 130 years around from a major hurricane. It is entirely possible that significant portions of the most prized water front property in that area won’t be able to be built on or will take years of bulldozing of all those huge resorts and condos to make it possible to build.

My stance is that XMPP and Matrix are only private if you self host and don’t federate. That really cuts down on who may want to use them, but it can be great for a small community, company, or family assuming you can get everyone to buy in.

This is the RSS reader I use and like it a lot, but no it does not have an export feature like that.

I don’t hate all bots, I hate this bot specifically because:

• they intentionally hide that they are a bot to evade our, and everyone else’s, methods of restricting which bots we allow and how much activity we allow.
• they do not respect the robots.txt
• the already mentioned lack of rate limiting

I’ll add another vote to how good Google Keep is for this, but as this is a privacy community, I’m not sure that is a suggestion that you want to hear.

I’ve also had good luck sharing documents with Syncthing, but because we tend to only have it sync on wifi it didn’t work as well for groceries specifically because you can’t add items to the list after the person shopping has left the home and expect them to see them.

Bullshit. This bot doesn’t identify itself as a bot and doesn’t rate limit itself to anything that would be an appropriate amount. We were seeing more traffic from this thing that all other crawlers combined.

We’ve had this thing hammering our servers. The scraper uses randomized user-agents browser/OS combinations and comes from a number of distinct IP ranges in different datacenters around the world, but all the IPs track back to Bytedance.

Most grocery stores sell alcohol in Florida, but only the beer and while variety. Hard liquor is only available in liquor stores. FL is actually a lot less restricted on that than many other states.

Good question and I have a hard time nailing it down to a single pizza.

For the pizza style it has to be either New York style or Detroit Style.

For toppings, it is either pepperoni and black olives, sliced meatball and banana peppers, or rarely since most places don’t make it this way, a buffalo chicken pizza with blue cheese (NOT ranch) instead of marinara and hot sauce.

That’s interesting about using FreePascal for that, I didn’t know there was any toolchain to compile to that SoC. I actually wrote a small set of libraries that ran on top of an existing, but very bare) SDK back in the day for writing GBA games in C. I forgot to grab it and rehost it when Google Code went away and it is now lost to time.

Since size is paramount, I’d probably fill about half of this space with NES, GB, and SNES roms and the emulators to play them as well as a few highly replayable classic PC games (CIv, SIm City, X-Com, Warcraft 2, Doom) and some small programs to edit/create images, and a small compiler and text editing tool (maybe Pascal based as another commenter suggested). The rest would be filled with a tremendous amount text books in a compressed archive, both fiction and non-fiction.

Something like Project Gutenberg would fit well here. You’d never run out of books for the rest of your life.

You just skipped the entire SNES catalog for some N64 titles?

Wasn’t the full Daggerfall install was actually closer to 400MB. I remember I bought a second HDD just to house Daggerfall since not loading anything from CD made it crash less.

Edit: Just forgot to mention that I love how detailed this list is and you are basically describing my late 90s PC, except it was Turbo Pascal and slightly older versions of Worms and RTS games.

I just replaced my 3070 with a RX 7900XT and it was a very noticeable difference in performance. It doesn’t help that my primary display is 3840x1600 though. The 3070 was never particularly great for that res.

I just did this with an RX7900TX and everything worked fine and I decided to install my normal updates. And then my PC wouldn’t boot. After hours of “fun”, it turns out that the issue had nothing to do with the GPU swap and all. Tons of fun!

I haven’t in at least a year or two.
