Put two of them next to each other diagonally: \\
One escapes the other and it will be treated like a regular item.

The frontend has been that way for months but as you can see, federation and the API still works (except for media upload) so I can keep using my account with third-party apps.

Kenne dein

Ich weiß, es geht um Zangendeutsch, aber auf diese Phrase bin ich allergisch. Die Angelsächser verwenden in diese Fälle Personalpronomen statt etwas wie "man". Ich bevorzüge "Maimaiskennenlernen".

Not in terms of pure logic but definitely in practical terms. You don't get far in humanities if you only follow pure logic.

Does the cross mean "oh, it's actually only 3 things other than that one legendary dwarf", "hating elves" or "no relationships"?

Oh nein! Da muss man auf Relativität achten!

Das würde erklären, warum aus Standpunkt DB Züge mit 5 Min. Verspätung als pünktlich gelten.

Wrong number of texts, too

More like 10-15 cm but yes

Both look very much like .NET development with C# in Visual Studio. Each of these way too much Microsoft for a Lemmy user to touch.

Person #2 is way too masculine and attractive. The people in picture #3 are way too close to touching grass and socializing. The furry (#4) is indeed the most believable.

Unless it's the 52Hz whale. I'd shed a tear for that lonely creature; not for that biologist though.

Ich kenne auf Reddit einen Regionalbahn-Lokführer (Dieseltriebwagen R. 814 in Bezirk Olomouc). Leider spricht er nicht Deutsch (aber ziemlich gut Englisch) und hat kein Lemmy-Konto; ich kann ihm aber Fragen stellen, die ihnen anfallen.

Er heißt u/Venca_z_dediny ("Wenzel der Landei") und war einmal Moderator eines tschechisches Subreddits.

PCBWay's "contact" detail page includes gender. (You contact me on my phone number, email or gender.) Apparently, the third gender is "Secrecy". In HTML, the selector is called "sexuality". Maybe I can change the sex of the fake support agent's avatar?


Anyway, the HTML is questionable and so is the JavaScript: there is a GMT and China Time clock that shows seconds but as explicitly stated, it "updates every 5 minutes". Or at least it would if the timeout function wasn't broken. When I forcefully run it, it adds 5 minutes but subtracts a giant number of years (invisibly because the date does not update), eventually reaching 64bits' worth of microseconds ago and starting to show "NaN:NaN:NaN" in the date. Instead of fixing this, they limited the time update task scheduler to only run 10 times but it actually runs 0 times.

The problem: My download is fine but seeding is very slow and intermittent even for popular torrents. I think this could be improved using IPv6 via 6to4. 6in4 or 6rd, all of which are supported by my router, to discover more peers.

My ISP allowed me to forward the port so I am discoverable via IPv4, but doesn't support IPv6 and I understand the aforementioned technologies as a way to connect to a tunnel broker, which would forward my packets to the IPv6 internet.

However, they are another entity that can monitor my internet activity. Are there any, preferrably free, 6in4/6to4/6rd tunnel providers that are known to be torrent-friendly? Are there any firewall rules I should set up for my security, like only allowing IPv6 traffic to the qBittorrent port? My ISP doesn't care about torrenting so I haven't been using any kind of VPN. Should I?

Oddly enough, I have no problems seeding on a specifically Central European torrent tracker, which usually maxes out my measly 2 Mb/s DSL upload, but the dozens of peers at international trackers, some of which must be in Europe, barely leech data from me. Am I presumed to be slow because of a slow ping from the presumably American server, or is my disqualification from IPv6 so impactful? I find it strange as I can download from 20+ peers simultaneously and top out my 20 Mb/s plan.

Low-quality photo of a cleanly decapped chip with no resin around it, lying in a recessed rectangle in black plastic or ceramic. It is protected with some clear coat, and there are gold bond wires connecting it with 14 pins embedded in the package material. Two of them on opposing sides are connected and form a bed that the die.A structured square takes up most of the left half of the die and appears significantly darker. The rest is usual chip design with minor rectangular structures. The second photo uses crappy dusty lenses instead of digital zoom. It is slightly less cropped so it is revealed that the entire thing is within a deeper recess, possibly with a tab that keeps a cover on?

I don't have a camera better than my phone, sorry, and the magnifying glasses did not really help.

The pics are purposefully cropped to make the guessing a little harder. The chip continues to work now that I’ve undone this.

You may ask follow-up questions. I will post the full story and pics once you guess correctly.

~~Please use the spoiler syntax for your guesses so that people can enjoy guessing with follow-up hints without spoilers!~~ You really don't like doing this, apparently. I thought it would make it more fun for people to take a guess even after someone guesses correctly.

I will do the same with any hints and answers I post in the comments so that everyone can choose the difficulty.

Insensitive joke
A building you would have liked to stand next to on September 11, 2001.

My tribute: YT / Piped

Hard-to-read scrolling text in my tribute video
On September 11, 2001, NYC was swept by the tragic collapse of two giant shopping malls conference centers while downtown Berlin was delighted to see a building come to life. The Blinkenlights, an array of 144 lightbulbs inside the Teacher's House on Alexanderplatz, made its debut on this fateful day. Chaos Computer Club, a German group of hackers and technology enthusiasts, had taken over the building prior to its planned reconstruction. Celebrating their 20th anniversary and amazing the public with their technical skills, the club installed floodlights behind the windows in the upper eight floors, lighting them up with animated content controlled over the network. People connected to the Internet would submit 20fps, 18x8 animations via email to take part in a pixel art contest, or have a love letter displayed at will. This is where this “BlinkenPaint” program came into play. GSM integration also enabled anyone to play a recreation of Pong, as well as remote debugging. The installation instantly became popular with music videos filmed in front of and inside it, and thousands of people came to the February 23 farewell party. The club released their hardware blueprints and source code to the public, enabling reconstructions of this project elsewhere.

In September 2002, the CCC created another installation, the “Blinkenlights Arcade”, to celebrate the “White Night” festival in Paris. The French National Library sprang to life with a 20x26 array of lightbulbs. Forgoing the abuse of relays in the original Blinkenlights, solid-state circuitry allowed 8 stages of grayscale, enhancing the look of GSM-controlled games such as Pong or Tetris, as well as music visualizations during the October 5 party. In 2008, the Toronto City Hall was lit with a 960-pixel, 16-step grayscale screen during this festival.

By the way, the title of the installation references a 1950s meme text hung in computer rooms worldwide, exclaiming to “turisten und nonteknischen lookenspeepers” that “das komputermaschine ist nicht für der gefingerpoken und mittengraben […] für gewerken bei dummkopfen” and encouraging them to “relaxen und watschen der blinkenlichten” instead. Someone will surely have posted the entire copypasta in the comments. Also look there for clarifications and corrections of any mistakes in this text.

Over the past 20 years, giant LED screens have become ubiquitous in cities, and the idea of a display this size does not seem as outlandish anymore. Nevertheless, most display advertisements round the clock, and having the public play games and submit love letters remains unique to Blinkenlights and the installation should be remembered to this day.

I'm pretty sure you know what follows...

Image transcriptA recreation of the Piper Perri Surrounded meme. A white CASIO CFX-9850GB PLUS calculator is laid on its side on a cushion while three TI-83 Plus and two TI-84 Plus calculators, all black, are standing behind the cushion. The faces of corresponding actors are shown in 4-tone pixelated pictures on each calculator's respective screens, grayscale on the TIs and sepia-toned on the CASIO thanks to its (limited) color graphics. Words of the text "Original meme by Chaotic Neutral Czech" are used in place of the SHIFT functions on a row of keys on the Casio as a mild watermark.
