@tbortels @klardotsh @dealingwith Markov chain generator?

@dalias @whitequark 15 or 25 years ago? :)

(also, any idea why cache was disabled?)

@dalias @wonka @foone IIRC, with USB2 you can't have more than 7 hubs (and a total of 127 devices). No idea about USB3, but I know that it's limited to 31 devices.

@lanodan @novenary @a1ba OpenWRT's had an automatic revert in place for the past several versions, too. After applying new settings through the web interface, if it doesn't get a connection from the browser within 90 seconds, it'll revert to previous settings.

@cstross I want to make a movie so painfully obvious in its satire that everyone who understands it lives in perpetual psychological torment inflicted on them by all the people who don't.

@marmarta @cstross I learned Linux by doing a Gentoo Stage 1 install :)

@marmarta @cstross I did use Slackware before Gentoo – a friend set it up for me as a router when I got cable internet on an old Pentium 75 machine. I used that for a while, then read about this Gentoo thing and decided to try it when I bought a Via Eden mini-ITX motherboard.

@misty @AlanSill IIRC, @GossiTheDog's using toot.io.

@ryanc @Edent @retr0id It's been demonstrated to be possible, mainly because when people compare hashes (visually), they usually only look at the first and last few characters.

@thomasfuchs Hah, what's that from?

@thomasfuchs I remember Office 97 being an unstable piece of crap.

@joshuaelliott @mcc But they're smart!

@ryanc @jima Looked at the config pages:

@freedosproject About 13 years ago a client bought a new high-end workstation (i7, 16 GB RAM, SSD). He also wanted to be able to still run his old QuattroPro for DOS on it, and to print from it. I set him up with DOSBox-X to do that.

@emilygorcenski If you haven't seen it yet, you have to opt-out of arbitration: https://infosec.exchange/@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io/111531294830031367

@emilygorcenski I've got a .htaccess that redirects a bunch similar endpoints to a tarpit (short perl script that outputs around 9 bytes/second, limited to at most 20 simultaneous requests, to not DoS my own server).

@foone Sounds like the clipboard is in a weird state, and hitting print screen (which copies the screen content to clipboard) somehow fixes it?

@aral What if you use Bаlkаn instead (using Cyrillic а instead of Latin a, assuming your last name is not normally written with a diactric)?

@hramrach @Polychrome And yet fansubs manage to be released within hours of the episode airing…
