I'm making my own list of the spammers, of which i publish updates on from time to time. Perhaps one day i'll write an apk to finally solve it once and for all. Unfortunately it looks like Verizon is on to me, and have now begun sending me their own spam telling me to upgrade from my flip-phone. Also, they only let me block like 3 numbers now, and their website has become really crummy. also, i recently found out while on a trip that they do not guarantee the functionality of their personal hot-spot feature for all locations - what?! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

sad, the spending chart doesn't load in my version of firefox, and both links in the caption also have page-load issues. very sad.

hey, it's working again!

It's a miracle! Youtube is working again! i knew complaining on HN was the answer. I guess i'm off now to watch more Denys Davydov and Combat Veteran News. ...it's so pathetic how we have gotten to this point where these rotten platforms hold so much power over public discourse. Someone needs to bring back snail-mail periodicals with included disk-media. ;)

c-span.org works! sadly pbs.org loads mangled. archive.org/details/movies is accessible in pale moon!

it always makes me sad when i see this. you are not reaching your target audience. fyi this seems to be a cloudflare thing. i see it everywhere. The World Wide Web seems to be going down a dark path. perhaps i do need to update my browser, but why should that matter for just reading a news site. it's like someone wants you to not have access unless you buy a new macbook(or maybe a chromebook). maybe i should just install Chrome already? i just feel like this Big Tech has crossed the line with their customers a long time ago at this point.

btw, fair.org looks interesting. i never heard of them before. Thanks!

Right, the problem appears to be more an issue of data-rep for time, rather than an issue with 32-bit vs 64-bit architectures. Correct me if I'm wrong, but i think there was long int well before 32 bit chips came around(and long long before 64). Does a system scheduler really need to know the number of seconds elapsed since midnight on Jan-1st-1970? There are only 86400 seconds in a day(31536000 sec/year, 2^32 = 4294967296 - seems like enough, why not split time in 2?). On a side note, i tried setting up a little compute station on my TV about a year ago using an old raspi i had laying around, and the latest version of raspbian-i386 is pretty rot-gut. I seemed to remember it being more snappy when i had done a similar job a few years prior. Also, i seem to remember it doing better at recognizing peripherals a few years prior. I guess this seems to be a trend now: if you don't buy the new tech you are toast, and your old stuff is likely kipple at this point. i think the word I'm looking for is designed-obsolescence. Perhaps a potential light at the end of the tunnel was that i discovered RISC OS, though the 3-button mouse thing sort crashed the party and then i ran out of time. I'm also contemplating SARPi(Slackware) as another contender if i ever get back to the project. Also maybe Plan 9? It seams that kids these days think old computers aren't sexy. Maybe that's fair, but they can be good for the environment(and your wallet).
