As someone who rides a unicycle professionally: what type of unicycle? Is the company specifying a particular brand because I only ride Nimbus.

My 12 yr old son is pretty sensitive to pigs being blown up for example but I guess not everyone is. The infamous torture episode also comes to mind, we didn't show him that one. I'm just saying that it's up to the parents.

Bill Nye went crazy? Last I heard he was involved in the groundbreaking solar sail project and speaking out about climate change, what did he do that caused you to add this warning? I'm not disputing anything just asking for information.

Also Myth Busters - not sure if available on YouTube, we ripped the DVDs long ago. Most episodes are pretty PC but some are definitely not appropriate so vetting required.

Yes, CloudFlare blocks agents completely if they ignore it's restrictions. The key is scale - CloudFlare has a birds eye view of traffic patterns across millions of sites and can do statistical analysis to determine who is a bot.

I hate the necessity but it works

I'll bet you CAN taste ants though

3 that I'm actually using, on my "Home Server" (Raspberry Pi).

One day I will be migrating the work stuff on VPS over to Docker, and then we'll see who has the most!

I'm still pissed at them for closing their old browser and deleting all my stuff. Yup, that was 12 years ago when I used to use Opera for everything - opera mobile was the best!

Let's hope Firefox can hang in there, the last alternative to Chrome. We really need both to navigate the modern web these days

Love Ed Zitrons podcast, been listening for a while now. Nobody does a rant like him - I may totally disagree with him about the usefulness of AI but for sheer entertainment it has me hooked

Lesson from South Africa: by the time they are at your door it's too late. Perimeter fencing, preferably a 2m high wall with razor wire AND electric fence on top (including on gate). Garden: floodlights, motion sensing alarms, beams, AI cameras. All doors and windows: bars and security gates. Inside: separate living and sleeping area with lockable gate in the hall between. Panic buttons..

None of that is going to stop a legal intrusion, each just buys you time before the paid security company arrive with guns to chase away intruders. Given time, any determined attacker will get in eventually..

Refurbished an electric guitar on my own. I found a Washburn (decent make) for next to nothing in a junk store and got a kit from Temu for the electronics which were totally shot.

Total cost was 1/4 of the price of the same guitar second hand in working order. YouTube tutorials sorted me out - only one of the pickups actually works well but it's the humbucker which is the only one I like anyway.

Context: 12 years ago I used to play professionally but sold my equipment when I had a kid (musician job does not pay well).

I actually like my new home made electric guitar better than my old one. Also, I now play for fun which is nicer than rehearsing repertoire all the time
