guess what just broke on my laptop after 2 years

I’m guessing it was the floppy drive?

My disaster recovery plan:

1. I plan on not having a disaster.

2. If I do have a disaster, I plan on trying to recover from it.

My biggest problem has been that the ink always dries up, since I don’t print very often, and a laser printer has solved that for me. Now, about 3 years later, the black toner is still at 90%, and still working reliably.

Could we stop with the viruses for a while, please? Just a few years is all I ask.

1000/1000 Mbps fiber for $43 in Denmark, no data cap.

I like how it basically generated the Ubisoft logo.

It’s the Scunthorpe problem.

Nothing’s more permanent than a temporary solution.

“No, it’s true, I swear! The coffee machines on our side can do both espresso and latte! And all the American barracks have 2-ply toilet paper! It used to be only 1-ply, but then last mo— What do you mean ‘this guy is useless’, I’ve just given you everything!”

Calckey sounds like a calculator/math/graphing application and Firefish sounds like another generic fork of Firefox.

They’re implying that all the posts must be astroturfing.

The first paragraph is correct, but your second paragraph is not. A cryptographic hash function is a lossy one-way function. Knowing exactly how something was hashed does not mean you can turn the hash back into the starting value again.

The server would never see a plain text version of your password.

As you realized in your edit already, this part is not correct. The server would always receive your password plaintext (when signing up and when logging in), but only store it hashed and salted.

The server needs to receive your password to verify it and log you it. That’s how it always is. As long as you are connecting via HTTPS, this is not a problem.

Probably Minecraft. But I haven’t spent an insignificant amount of time in Garry’s Mod either.

Kbin is tolerable in a mobile browser, but it actually becomes quite good once you decide to use Firefox on mobile and install the Tampermonkey addon along with some community userscripts to improve the functionality. Kbin is much younger than Lemmy, so it’s just playing catch-up right now.

On PC, I very much prefer Kbin’s user interface (but still with custom userscripts and a few minor changes to the theme I use).

And with multiple sticks of RAM in use, that makes it RAID, right?

Right?

I use Podgrab to archive the podcasts I listen to, but these are all freely available podcasts.

Correct, it’s completely different software.

They were for a few weeks, until today. I’m commenting from Kbin right now.

Turns out lemmy.ml admins had blocked a lot of bots and “kbinBot” (which is the useragent name used by Kbin for federation requests) was inadvertently among the blocked bots. The lemmy.ml admins took a long time to get it fixed, but it finally works again now.
