My gas stove has 4 D-sized Batteries underneath, haven't replaced them in nearly a decade.

For the less fortunate, if you don't own a single spark source to light a gas fire in your house it's highly likely you have far greater immediate survival issues to face.

Please put in minimal effort yourself before demanding it of others in one sentence? This took 30 seconds:

#1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superprotect

> "Superprotect" was the name for a superuser tool granted to Wikimedia Foundation staff but denied to all Wikimedia community members starting in August 2014.[92][circular reference] Wikimedia Foundation staff used the tool to force the installation of the Wikimedia Foundation's software against the wishes of the Wikimedia community. This conflict was unprecedented. Erik Möller, then director of the Wikimedia Foundation, managed the Superprotect tool. The software in dispute was MediaViewer, which was a software feature that guided Wikipedia readers into viewing images in a certain way. Wikimedia commentator Andrew Lih described the superprotect feature as "Orwellian-sounding".

#2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Flow

> Flow, also known as Structured Discussions, is a project of the Global Collaboration team at the Wikimedia Foundation to build a different discussion and collaboration system for Wikimedia projects.

> solutions other then HEPA filter

A basic indoor water fountain captures quite a lot of indoor pollution, to the point that it's likely far more energy and cost efficient than pumping air through a disposable filter. There's plenty of research on this.

Simultaneous AP/Managed mode is available on RPI3 and RPI Zero W boards, I'm not sure about the others models.

The server is a python script, why couldn't it run on OpenWRT?

Do you truly need deaths as they happen by the minute?

Plot-twist: They don't want awareness because western cyber capabilities are far and beyond the best the in the world. We hack ourselves and each other constantly. Most are aware of China/NK/Russia/Iran actors doing X action. You'll have a rough time finding anyone in the five eyes with common knowledge of their offensive capabilites. Perhaps Stuxnet but by all accounts that was all due gungho Israeli's going full-tilt rather than US allies.

For anyone not using Mac's, there's a few text-to-speech offerings online if you are ok with the privacy implications of sending that data to a 3rd party. Use it a lot for public conversational threads and mailing lists that I am expected to read but have low signal to noise ratios.

I'm not sure about what offline alternatives exist.

The best thing about HN is that comments like these can never be deleted.

I collect them like Pokemon. It's been nearly a decade now and there's certainly many to look back on.

From experience people either double down or feign ignorance years later, which path will this one take?
