> Oh also the + button didn't do full screen as today, but... it did... something. I never understood the point of the + button.

When I first came from Windows I was confused about this as well, but once I got the hang of it, it became the most logical thing to me.

The green + button zoomed the window to the minimum window size that showed the full content. (For example, one page in a word processor or one slide in presentation software.)


That functionality was adopted from Classic Mac OS, and I loved it. Too bad this isn't properly supported any more.


Hold down Option and the <> in the green circle for full screen will turn into a + for maximize.

You can also double click the title bar in most applications for the same effect.


Doesn't look like it, picking a random domain from this list gives the same result as from 1.1.1.1:

  dig bs.to @1.1.1.1
  ;; ANSWER SECTION:
  bs.to.   164 IN A 190.115.31.20


  dig bs.to @193.110.81.0
  ;; ANSWER SECTION:
  bs.to.   300 IN A 190.115.31.20


Test in particular the very newest, and the still used domains from the Wikipedia list such as

* nox.to

* getrockmusic.net

* libgen.gs

* sci-hub.st


Also resolves correctly - they do not seem to be doing censoring right now.


Thanks for doing the tests.

Another interesting test case are the following domains (Russian propaganda websites) that many German (European?) internet providers are prone to block:

  rt.com
  de.rt.com
  www.rt.com
  ria.ru
  radiosputnik.ria.ru
  radiosputnik.com
For example in Germany, Vodafone blocks the first three ones. The reason for this blocking is not the CUII list, but ANNEX XV of

"COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2022/350

of 1 March 2022

amending Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia's actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine":

Traceroute is easy to be misinterpreted, because it does not have insight in underlying networks like MPLS, which could be the cause of issues.

They are only misleading if you allow yourself to be misled by them. It's an extremely informative measurement if you are aware of how it works and don't misinterpret the results.


None of these claims are mutually exclusive with one another.

"Great tool for misleading results." -> the results the tool provides are either mostly misleading (many are misleading), or are in large part misleading (a large part of each is misleading), potentially both

"Traceroute is easy to be misinterpreted" -> the results the tool provides are easy to misinterpret

"They are only misleading if you allow yourself to be misled by them" -> the results the tool provides require expertise to interpret, implying that otherwise they're (largely) misleading - the same thing the person said right above you

This is turning into a "well I like it and it has its place". Cool, it's just not what was being argued.


You can claim pretty much any tool is misleading then. If you don't know how curl works, with say following links, it's "misleading".


Yes, you can. It's basically a terminal case of something being unintuitive. Whether something is misleading is in the eye of the beholder.

Recently my mother felt misled by a car commercial. Her position was that saying things like "under this many years or that many miles" is misleading, because it suggests that it's a set of options she can pick from (which of course ended up not being the case).

Unfortunately for her, this is a natural language construct - whether she understands it correctly or not depends on how aligned her common sense regarding it is with people at large. She understood it differently and thus felt misled. But you may notice that ultimately it was her own mistaken understanding of the common parlance that misled her. So when she said this was misleading the only thing I could reasonably say was exactly this. That I did not find the phrasing misleading, and I'm sorry she'd been misled by it (irrespective of whether that was on her or on the world, as that doesn't really matter).

It's completely on people how they want to handle this. You can find people being misled by stuff like this to be unreasonable and just tell them so, or you can put out a disclaimer regardless. Depends completely per case. This goes all the way to having multiple mechanical interlocks at places with heavy duty xray sources, or preferring machine checked memory management.

Thanks!

The reason sounds like a combination of cost cutting and perhaps face saving - combining the "rescue" return with a half-crew next scheduled Dragon trip.

I've got to assume there's a faster contingency plan for a real emergency - that SpaceX could scramble a Dragon launch almost immediately if they had to?


I try to add up to date opening hours for every business I frequent in OSM. These are available in Organic Maps (successor to Maps.me), even offline.

Google does seem to have the upper hand for special cases like public holidays sometimes, but even those can be added in OSM.


And improving OSM _feels_ great in my experience. It's actually and primarily helping the open-source community.

Google really incentivizes users to fix map data (like business info) and, after doing so, shows you popups like "Your change was seen by 10,000 people!". Really good UX. Yet, I was only doing free work for a mega corp which doesn't feel as satisfying (and I stopped doing so).


My feelings exactly. I first got drawn to editing OSM instead of Waze because of local Waze volunteers acting like mini dictators (locking the map for people under a certain level, leading to inaccuracies like wrongly labelled construction in my own street which I could see with my own eyes but could not edit), not being an unpaid worker for Alphabet was a nice bonus and the reason I stayed in the long run.


Indeed.

I never understand why criminals are drawn to those kind of services instead of just using end to end encrypted apps like Signal.

I am running a hypervisor (https://blogs.vmware.com/arm/2023/12/15/esxi-arm-fling-1-15-...) on my Raspberry Pi 4. Rock solid.

Currently running virtual machines: * Home Assistant (https://home-assistant.io/) - with USB passthrough of USB stick to read out my digital electricity/gas meters, Zigbee and Z-Wave * Homebridge (to allow my Eufy video doorbell to work with Homekit) * Pihole

All are running from iSCSI storage served by my Synology NAS.

I am running an older Pi (3) on demand in my garden as a client for my media server to play music on garden speakers.


Doesn't Synology support running VMs directly on the NAS itself?
