I thought they just meant a mouse cursor...

I'm at 943 cycles on my Pixel 6 Pro and it's still going strong. I slow charge it every night and try to avoid fully draining the battery to slow down the deterioration, which seems to have worked pretty well. Thankfully a battery replacement is only $50 so it won't cost much when I do have to replace it.

Idk about everyone else, but I'm only celebrating because it's the one day of the year when setting off large explosions is socially acceptable.

Six months later, all 10 showed considerable hearing improvement, with the average volume of perceptible sound improving from 106 decibels (very loud) to 52 (much fainter).

They're understating that a bit; that's an increase in sensitivity of over five orders of magnitude. 106 decibels is about as loud as a chainsaw; 52 is on par with a normal conversation.

Do deepfake explicit images created from a non-explicit image actually qualify as CSAM?

you must keep it in cash

you don't have an address, a phone number, [and] you can't interact [with] people in public

using just the internet and an email

What do you expect me to do, download a $20 bill from the internet and print it??? I guess the only realistic option is to walk around busy places after everyone's left and hope you stumble upon someone's dropped wallet.

?? is this real..??

Of course, didn't you hear about when 7 billion people got killed?

Either works fine; I just use screen out of habit lol.

If the choice is between depressing news I can do nothing about, and moth memes, please forgive me if I choose the moth memes.

I've always just run the server directly from the JAR in a screen session. If you're just running a simple server and don't need the features of Pterodactyl it's definitely the easiest option. Just download the JAR from Minecraft's website to a new directory, and run with java -Xmx4G -Xms4G -jar minecraft_server.1.21.6.jar nogui (The page says 1 gig of RAM, but I'd recommend more if you have it available).

 
 

The downside of everything being federated is that it's really easy to listen in. Make sure to keep yourself anonymous online!

 
 
 
 
 

Hi, I thought I'd share this here since it isn't being covered by any news sources. It's mostly my own research and calculations, so it could be completely wrong, but I'm fairly confident it's correct.

Most of you probably heard about the asteroid 2024 YR4, which briefly reached a 3.1% chance of Earth impact before its orbit was further constrained and the chance dropped to zero. What you may not have heard is that the chance of lunar impact has actually been steadily rising. No organization is currently reporting lunar impact statistics, so I've been calculating the probability myself. I've created a Desmos calculator that you can easily plug the approach data from NASA into. As of now it's sitting at 1.94%, with the nominal approach being less than one lunar radius from the surface of the Moon (just 0.058 sigma from the closest approach).

This is the impact corridor for the Moon, as viewed from Earth. An impact on the near side (very likely) would be visible for an entire hemisphere of the Earth, including North and Central America, the eastern half of Asia, and Australia. Map of locations where the Moon will be visible at the time of impact. I'm not sure exactly how bright an impact would be, but a 45 kg asteroid caused a flash clearly visible to telescopes during a lunar eclipse back in 2019, so I expect an asteroid about 5 million times larger would be quite the show.

A 1.94% chance is still very small, but I'll be keeping my eyes on the data and crossing my fingers for a lunar impact!
