I’m sorry, but has no-one heard of https://letsencrypt.org that issues certificates via API for free?

I would not be surprised if certificates at some point will be issued for each session.

I’ve done all of these and now get minimal junk mail in the letter box.

• Contact your municipality and explain the situation and ask for their advice.
• Contact the people delivering the mail and ask them for advice.
• Contact your local gardening centre and ask them if they want paper for composting.
• Put up a no junk mail sign, then contact the companies who are still arriving in your letter box and share your thoughts about their uninvited junk mail. In Australia the last mile delivery of junk mail is often done by one or two companies who don’t want to get a bad name for ignoring your sign.

In some parts of Australia you cannot insure your home any longer due to climate change.

If you mean automatic brightness correction, most computers have a camera, some have a more generic light sensor.

If you mean night mode, a computer knows what time it is and most know where they are, so they can look up local daylight hours.

If you mean something else, you’ll need to elaborate.

It’s true, but it’s not obvious if you’re new to the fediverse, since until now the closest we’ve had to decentralized communities online is Usenet and that’s only familiar to you if you’re been online for 30 years or more.

I think it depends on where you go. I’ve seen lots of supportive behaviour across the fediverse.

It’s interesting that you put the blame on the FDA. I’m not in the USA, but the effectiveness of a body like the FDA, the FCC, the EPA, FAA and all the others is directly related to how much money they have available and who is running the department; these are determined by politicians.

In other words, medical oversight depends entirely on whom you vote for and why voting is important. It’s the “little” things like this, not the defence or education budgets capturing the headlines that make the difference.

I’m guessing it’s because of concerns about quality control.

It’s unfortunate that Keyboard Video Mouse and Kernel Virtual Machine share the same three letter acronym and that both are in widespread use in relation to multiple operating systems.

Hence my scepticism.

A device without any specifications and five different operating system logos behind it. Forgive me, to say that I’m sceptical would be a gross understatement.

Perhaps a more believable post would include the specifications and a link to the supplier.

Wow!

I’m guessing that WordPress will be forked soon …

Yeah, in the unedited version of my reply, the asterisk wasn’t detected as part of the URL which lands you at Sag A, not Sag A*.

This.

If you’re wondering why, this is the centre of our Galaxy. Of course if you’re planning on intergalactic travel, you might have some issues, but before you get too worried about it, exploring the current galaxy is going to take a while.

Edit: The link to the super massive black hole at the centre of our galaxy wasn’t working.

I remove the sticker, wash it under the tap and one bite at a time, eat it whole.

If you’re actually working out, nobody cares about what you look like and comfort is more important than any other consideration.

If you’re using the gym as a place to meet people, nobody you would actually want to meet cares about lines in your clothing.

In other words, the lines you’re concerned with have been put there by advertisers wanting to sell you more stuff.

Your modem will likely keep connection statistics which will tell you how much data was downloaded and uploaded.

Ookla speedtest.net will give you an indication of your network speed. I have a cron job that logs the speed with their cli client every 5 hours and I use it to keep my ISP mostly honest.

The resulting data can also be used to map peak network congestion so you don’t end up with network buffering issues when you are watching the latest episode on your favourite streaming service.

Thank you.

Science communication is hard. If the audience is scientists in the field, the text is probably digestible, but for anyone else, it’s just not.

Note that I’m not saying anything about the content itself, but in my experience, considering who is reading is useful in most cases.

It is again beginning to feel rather dysfunctional…
