Thank you for making this, @usernameis42: I was still looking for my 2025 "to sponsor" project.
I'm donating to SomaFM now!

Question: any chance I can have this as a radio station in my Alexa??
ohuf | 1 year ago | on: Patrick Breyer and Pirate Party Lose EU Parliament Seats
As a German citizen, the amount of times I heard from the "Piratenpartei" can be counted on one hand.
In the early 2000s that party suffered immensely from being hijacked by Neo Nazis, losing a lot of support from voters.
Since the Nazis went off and joined the AFD, the Pirate Party is more or less silent.
The worst part was when they hardly commented on Edward Snowden and the NSA leaks!

The subdomain explorer may be fun, but their Exploit Observer is really useful: https://www.exploit.observer/

The only issue I have with TB search is the setting for the results presentation: why is there not a preferences option to set if the results show as list or in the current default 'verbose' view?
switching to list view manually seems so inefficient

...only in big cities. Rural areas including the suburbs of the 100k's still depend heavily on individual transport...
ohuf | 3 years ago | on: Adventure game graphics with DALL-E 2
I'm wondering what DALL-E would make out of the descriptions in classic text adventure games from the 1970s-90s like, for example the ZORK series?

ohuf | 3 years ago | on: SELinux is unmanageable; just turn it off if it gets in your way
The question is: what good is a security system that tells me to "just allow whatever the problem is", once a problem comes up? Without being able to see the specifics of a request and blindly following the whitelisting I could end up allowing some hacked module access to critical files without knowing. Opening the system to exactly the dangers I'm seeking to stop.

What do you mean by "first device plugged in"? If I connect two devices with an USB-C cable, which one is the "first device" then?

I keep my password database in a Google Drive directory. Clients exist on Windows, Mac, Android, IOS.
ohuf | 4 years ago | on: A search engine that favors text-heavy sites and punishes modern web design
I don't think this is a good idea: when I'm searching on the web I want to get results with a high relevance to my search query. I don't care a lot about the presentation.

Read about forlater.email and learned about Ko.Fi.
I love the web.

I just read "Black Ice" and it comes to my mind that William Gibson once more was way ahead of his time in 1984, writing "Neuromancer" ;)
ohuf | 4 years ago | on: In 2012, 59% of British MPs Flunked Probability of Flipping Two Heads in a Row
apologies: I was watching the YouTube video that's in the bottom of this article, where graduates were asked "what causes summer and winter"
that's what my comment above is about!.

But that's the problem with these students as well: their intuition tells them that when it's warmer the sun has to be nearer. the fact that the amount of sunlight throughout the day (timespan) causes warmer seasons is an indirection in thinking.
Of course they should know what causes seasons if they had payed attention in class.
I wonder how they reacted if you'd ask them about the hemispherical difference in summer/winter, e.g. how can the southern hemisphere have winter when the whole earth is nearer to the sun...

...turns out you don't need local storage at all: if you already run a NAS you can bootp the RasPi over the network!
This also makes backups super easy.
