I was once responsible for a student house (we don’t have dorms in the US sense, this is the closest we have) and I have similar experiences but less extreme. My favourite was when I had forgotten to configure DHCP filtering and someone plugged in a router the wrong way so it started offering DHCP (that didn’t work) to everyone in the building, in a race with our upstream ISP.
Did not see “faster than Commodore 64!” coming!
This is a really good idea actually
I have the same situation almost. We have fiber from Telia delivered to the basement of our apartment building where it’s converted to cable by Tele2, who rents access to Telia’s fiber. Neither of them were willing to sell me or the organisation that owns the building access to fiber, even though it would have required only activating an outlet on whatever fiber switch thing they have in the basement.
Tele2 also has a monopoly on internet access; it’s that or 4G/5G.
This led to the absurd situation where we have a special coax outlet, followed by a cable modem right next to the fiber switch to supply the intercom system with very very expensive and terribly slow internet.
I’m not in the US and I also get most of my retirement in stock market casino chips
I was worrying about precisely this. I’d be ok with blocking search engines if there was a better way of searching but AFAICT there isn’t federated search of any kind?
I think this is right on the money. The fitness function optimised is “does this convince humans”, and so we have something that’s doing primarily that.
I’m imagining him going on to do the same thing there and just going “why am I the John McClain of cybersecurity? How can this happen AGAIN???”
Hasn’t this been posted five thousand times already?
Sounds like we may have an easier conclusion to draw here
No need to be that maximalist. Don’t self host email on a desktop machine you turn off.

It must be an allusion to Stalingrad and presumably the battle there where the red army beat the crap out of the nazis, so you’re not wrong.
Look, it’s my favourite energy drink Peal Doul!
Joking aside that image is disgusting? Why is it so disgusting?
You joke but I realised I feel exactly the same about this as I do about the choice of C++, which is: deep sigh ok sure
This framing made me read the comment in the link as a transphobic joke (“ha ha I won’t accept your change of gender ie will misgender you”) which would have been a pretty smoking gun if left there, and in case anyone else makes the same incorrect interpretation I’d like to warn them that they’re talking about grammatical gender, in the PR.
I think it’s a stretch to call this transphobia; if anything it’s good ol’fashioned sexism, but a pretty tame one.
Apparently the instruction set is off-brand MIPS64?!
I’m not an American but my impression is the Supreme Court is mainly designed as a last bulwark to ensure the US never under any circumstances ever does anything remotely good and this isn’t exactly improving that impression.
Can you (or a human) expand NPM, presumably not the Node Package Manager?
Also, the times rats got into the networking room and ate random cables. I should add the network was built by volunteer students in the ‘90s.
