It would be useful to have an “empty spool database” where people post a photo+weight of their empty spool, plus some fancy way to search by image.

Edit: https://github.com/jtrmal/spoolz looks like a partial solution.

zram also works on modern Linux systems.

Mediocre video. I sat through all the crude humor and still don’t know how the roller mechanism works.

Interesting, Cura does successfully avoid running into the part by default:

If I disable “Avoid Printed Parts When Traveling”, the result looks similar to PrusaSlicer.

Beginning with Firefox 127, users will be prompted to grant MV3 host permissions as part of the install flow (similar to MV2 extensions).

Hooray! Previously Firefox MV3 extensions had to include a custom button in the UI to prompt the user for host permissions at runtime. It generally made more sense to stay on MV2 than switch from a 2-click to a 6-click install procedure.

That DI-30 tape drive was a couple years older than the rest of the system. That’s why it’s half the size of the hard drive. It was a consumer-grade format with somewhat janky proprietary software.

Those songs were scavenged from the internet, as I never had the musical skill to make them.

I used https://cifkao.github.io/html-midi-player/ to get MIDI working in modern browsers, though it seems less reliable than an adlib synth.

I listed the 5 possible digits. What’s missing?

IPv6 subnet masks are long, but super easy because of hexadecimal. A bunch of Fs, then [EC8]? then a bunch of 0s.

You haven’t really explained “why”, it’s just that there are two roads to YouTube and nobody complains when IPv6 is faster.

Interesting, that does appear to solve the same problem.

In my decades of using web browsers, I can’t say that I’ve ever tried dragging text to the address bar. That’s not very discoverable, and the drag action messes with the page’s scroll position.

Self-driving trucks will never be 100% autonomous. They will need a reliable data connection to a control center so humans can figure out how to deal with exceptional situations.

There will probably be occasional stupid traffic jams until the technology is perfected. As long as they avoid murderous rampages, we should be okay.

They’re saying $2.99 because it sounds better than $36/year.

The battery can deliver a stable voltage output of 1.25 V and a capacity of 110 mAh/g

110 mAh/g * 1.25 V * 1000 g/kg = 137 Wh/kg.

Lithium ion is around 250 Wh/kg, so this battery is around twice as heavy.

The MSX Paxon looks interesting. I didn’t know Last Call BBS was based on a real machine.

On Chrome, I only ever recall seeing the dialog when I install an extension, or if an extension is updated to use additional permissions.

Firefox MV3 is different, in that the all_urls permission cannot be granted on install. If an extension requests all_urls, it installs with the permission disabled. The user has to manually enable it for one site or all.

IPvFoo is mostly useless without all_urls, which is why I made it show that button until the permission is granted.

Firefox requires explicit user interaction to grant the all_urls permission, although this only applies to Manifest V3. Here’s what it looks like on my extension:

I could’ve just reverted to Manifest V2 to avoid that step, but V3 will probably become mandatory someday.

Meanwhile Euclid is rolling in his grave.

In this case, disabling IPv6 is actually the right move. If the VPN provider doesn’t support IPv6, then there’s no way to allow to allow IPv6 Internet traffic without causing a leak/VPN bypass.

The right move for the VPN provider is to support IPv6. The right move for the user is to take their business to a provider that does.

Frankly I find that bot annoying. I just commented because it replied to me.
