Hard to believe a platform that blackholes anything that counters the safespace design.


But do you have a point you want to make?

If yes, it is not obvious to me.


You don't understand why a site with the numbers of new and active bsky users is posted in response to the statement "Bluesky is still a thing?"


Reading about Spigot made me remember https://www.projecthoneypot.org/

I was very excited 20 years ago, every time I got emails from them that the scripts and donated MX records on my website had helped catching a harvester

> Regardless of how the rest of your day goes, here's something to be happy about -- today one of your donated MXs helped to identify a previously unknown email harvester (IP: 172.180.164.102). The harvester was caught a spam trap email address created with your donated MX:


This is very neat. Honeypot scripts are fairly outdated though (and you can’t modify them according to ToS). The Python one only supports CGI and Zope out of the box, though I think you can make a wrapper to make it work with WSGI apps as well.


"eight megabytes and constantly swapping"


I just realized I had a few Kindle Fires lying around in a box.

I wanted to give one to a friend who didn't have a good phone so she could listen to audio books. Turns out those old Fires are no longer updated and Android is so old I can't even install anything current on it.

I hope to change that with https://kindlemodding.org/ which was mentioned, so appreciate the writeup :)


They don't cover the Kindle Fires, however you can get a _slightly_ newer Android from https://xdaforums.com/f/kindle-fire-android-development.1309...


Darn, I checked XDA but must have been in the wrong forum because that's really what I was looking for - thanks!

I appreciate finding that site as well, but I thought it strange that I couldn't find a "why jailbreak" section. Does anyone here know?

I don't want Amazon's spying on me so I have just kept it in Airplane mode since I bought it 9 years ago. It seems to work fine ¯\(ツ)/¯


I found watching the trailer to The Beekeper quite therapeutic for my scammy call center dislike (it's the best part of the movie imho).

The whole film is good if a bit over the top.


I watch Jason Statham movies _because_ they're over the top.


Exactly. I misspoke. Praise be the name of Statham hah


A Jason Statham movie over the top?! No way!

I haven't worked with go - where could I host that myself?

Could I do this with the free tier of https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/quickstarts/build-and-depl...


Fun fact, Orforglipron got named when the lead scientist's cat sat on their keyboard. /s


Sounds like "Oral formulation GLP-1", which is what it is? That won't be the brand name.


Yes, the name does seem like they're just fucking with us.

Former QA from Germany here - some international companies supposedly develop their UI in German first because after that most other translations will fit ;)

Though, that doesn't help with bad translations. I often had a hard time explaining to my American business colleagues that just because I'm a native German speaker doesn't mean I will be good at translate their strings at 5pm so they could get out their launch... +1 for a professional translations!


I would use then Hungarian instead, even more longer words =)
