Newfoundland has no shortage of stinky fishing villages, but I've been to this one and my god man. I've talked to fishermen from the area who are put off by it. It's been sitting a LOOOONG time and there's a LOT of it. When the wind blows the right (wrong?) direction the stench covers part of the town.

As for the disposal, yeah probably over the top, this stuff will kill marine life as is, but not if it's diluted enough / released slowly over enough time. We've certainly dumped worse stuff into the ocean here.

Newfoundlander here checking in! Nope. She just sounds like that. Another comment mentioned it seems to be a CBC/traditional news thing. A bunch of them sound that way.

The "accent" here is starting to fade out of the younger generations but it sounds Irish to a naive ear.

Paperclip has worked fine in my experience. I've got a bunch of these and the stock antenna really is just awful.

For some people it's less eye straining if they're reading at night, doesn't help for me personally, but it's a popular feature

GDPR compliance, if you remove "uk" from the URL they just don't ask first :)

Yep, seeing a lot of these pop up lately. Probably an attempted supply chain attack.

edit: To be clear, if it was this, it wasn't successful. Blender team checked out the downloads and everything's fine. But that's a likely motive I'd say.

Looks like that video was a demonstration from a company that sells these machines. The hole was just cut out for doing videos like this I'd assume, not a modification for regular use.

One of the major side effects of Ambien is anterograde amnesia, some people are less sensitive to it, but generally anything you do in "black out" phase will be a complete blur the next day. I used to take it an hour before bed and try to get some work done, I'd usually wake up the next day to several pages of code with absolutely no recollection of writing it.

Taking a quick look, this should be able to run without issue on any distribution. They're using Docker to run all the components. No Ubuntu-specific dependencies.

Jeez, all of their posts are ads for this nsoft crap. Is this allowed on HN? Not sure how to alert a moderator.

Certainly not FUD or "advanced". No encryption/obfuscation used to communicate with C2 at all, common patterns in the c++ binary that drops on clients, no polymorphism, drops itself on the disk. Might be a fun toy project for the author but this wouldn't be useful in any actual security testing deployments.

The word you're looking for is "entertainment center", but yeah, weird there aren't more products available for that niche! There are lots of home AV receivers that might fit the bill but they tend to be pretty large units.

Big +1 for Gitea/Gogs, that thing will run on a toaster. Super low memory footprint and great for small shops.

My personal card pulls the same shit constantly. Last raise request I made was for $300 to put a bill on it, was declined, a month later I get an automatic offer for a $1000 credit raise. They'll be losing my business pretty soon.

This stuff is basically Goo Gone without the plant goodies and some aircraft paint thinner. It will remove most paint and clear coats so be careful!

edit: I misread xylene as toluene, whoops! It still isn't the most paint-friendly if you don't have a durable surface though.
