It would show up on a breathalyzer. It doesn't measure what you drank, but rather what's in your blood.

It's a limitation of the hardware.

Hold on, wait a minute, pause. There are people who think that bugs have lungs?

That's the last time I invest in an opportunity championed by someone who's only claim to fame is their explanation of how to properly suck a dick.

Firefox is a direct fork of Netscape Navigator. (Actual Netscape Navigator, not whatever this is.)

Ok, hear me out.

We find the users with the slowest internet and start sending them all the data. They don’t have to keep anything on disk. Then they send it all back and forth between each other. Any time a user makes a request, we just wait for one of the slow nodes to come across the data and send it out.

We use the slowest wires for all the storage. It’s fool proof.

The cheapest one I know of is about $8 a month, so it should be affordable, even on a tight budget.

You can buy a super cheap cloud VM and use a (self hosted) VPN so it can access your own PC and a reverse proxy to forward all incoming requests to your own PC behind your school’s network.

It’s arguable whether this would violate their policy, since you are technically hosting something, but not accessible on the internet from their IP. So if you wanna be safe, don’t do this, otherwise, that could help you get started.

 

My dad uses Google Maps, and he mentioned that it seems to be getting worse. Like, giving him directions that are obviously worse than alternatives. Has anyone else here experienced this?

If they tried to close source it, someone would just fork it.

Comfortable sure, but not, like, pajamas.

In the latest version of Nephele, you can now create a WebDAV server that deduplicates files that you add to it.

I created this feature because every night at midnight, my Minecraft world that my friends and I play on gets backed up. Our world has grown to about 5 GB, but every night, the same files get backed up over and over. It's a waste of space to store the same files again and again, but I want the ability to roll back our world to any day in the past.

So with this new feature of Nephele, I can upload the Minecraft backup and only the files that have changed will take up additional space. It's like having infinite incremental backups that never need a full backup after the first time, and can be accessed instantly.

Nephele will only delete a file from the file storage once all copies that share the same file contents have been deleted, so unlike with most incremental backup solutions, you can delete previous backups easily and regain space.

Edit: So, I think my post is causing some confusion. I should make it clear that my use case is specific for me. This is a general purpose deduplicating file server. It will take any files you give it and deduplicate them in its storage. It's not a backup system, and it's not a versioning system. My use case is only one of many you can use a deduplicating file server for.

When you're talking to an open source dev, just remember that they are literally giving you their time for free, and they are people who don't like to be treated poorly.

Edit: Just to be clear, I don’t mean any ill will toward the guy. He’s frustrated and he’s just taking it out in the wrong venue at the wrong people, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person.

Edit 2: The reinstalling he’s talking about is NPM. So just running npm install. It’s because he tried removing the node_modules directory, which is a reasonable thing to do, but it means you need to reinstall the modules with that command.

 

It now supports unlimited size transfers. Have a 24GB Blu-ray rip to back up? Go for it! A 1TB disk image? You got it!

 

Hi, I’m Hunter Perrin, and I made a new email service called Port87.

Gmail was a great email service back in 2006, but now it just sucks. They put ads in your inbox that look like unread emails to trick you into clicking them. To me, that means Gmail is malware.

I’ve been degoogling my life for the past 7 years, and Gmail is the last Google service I depended on. I love ProtonMail and use it too, but I developed a new way to sort email automatically, and wanted to write my own service based on it.

Port87 lets you use a tagged address like yourname-netflix@port87.com, and that automically creates a “netflix” label and puts all email to that address in it. This helps keep your email organized automatically, and protects against spam and phishing.

The database abstraction library I wrote for Port87 is called Nymph.js, and it’s open source. Also the UI library I wrote is called Svelte Material UI, and it’s open source too.

I hope you all like it, and hopefully it can help migrate away from Gmail.

Port87 is an email service that automatically organizes your email based on the "To" address.

If you give the address "yourname-netflix@port87.com" to Netflix, then all of their email will go in the "netflix" label in your account. This lets you organize your email when you give out your email address. It also prevents phishing, since an email from "Bank of America" in your "netflix" label is obviously phishing.

Labels meant for human senders, like the "friends" label (yourname-friends@port87.com), can be set to screen senders, so Port87 will respond to any new senders with a link to click to prove they're a human.

Your "bare address" (yourname@port87.com) only responds to emails with a list of your public label addresses, so you can share it all over the internet without fearing spam. (For example, mine is hperrin@port87.com.)

Full disclosure: I created and operate this service.
