no one can view old.reddit.com w/o being authorized. idk if you're aware, but it lost a lot of appeal as such. what i'm saying is, folks can view reddit.com w/o logging in, but not old.reddit.com

while this points it out, i'll show you what I had in place:

~/.codex/config.toml

    [features]
    daemon_auto_start = false

hell, I also have this redundancy configured in bash:

    codex() {
      command codex --no-daemon "${@:-.}"
    }

You can watch some English subtitled rips here:

The other archive link shared here, it's to another set of rips that appear to lack subtitles.

This is inspired by jmail.world, which may have been inspired itself.

It is obviously not as interesting as jmail.world, but, give her time

Yeah, that's what started the speculation though. I grabbed the obit link from that discussion. The person who posted it, that's the only post they've made.

He may be resting in peace, but I don't really know

It would be an amusing troll. I wonder what minimum efforts are to publish here: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/mark-stephens-obit...

I did leave out the disclaimer. we can't please everyone can we

with segments of code, I'll read it w/o syntax highlighting. i'll even think of the people who prefer it that way all the time

desktop and mobile browsers have a reader mode icon you can click. it is useful for 1) this 2) website blocking fully loaded content with some paywall popup 3) and more!

click it for a better time

thanks to your comment we all understood that you got it though, which is the point!

also, thanks to your comment, unaware folks will probably figure it out, which is the subtler point!

New comment by grimgrin in "Two Git ignore files nobody told me about"

grimgrin — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 14:28:42 +0000

this was probably discovered by many when seeking how to globally ignore agent configs, until perhaps they decided they'd like to start committing agent configs. though that's just a `git add -f`

New comment by grimgrin in "ZuckOff is a free app that sees Meta glasses before they see you"

grimgrin — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 13:40:20 +0000

"even worse", I searched "nearby glasses" on app store, and it's 2nd, under the ad sponsored "ZuckOff"

and so I leave this comment as off topic, but, is it pretty easy to get your new app to appear in that ad slot, above the main contender?

as the other comment said, you can put in user.js but more specifically, that goes in the root of wherever your profile is. for me, that is:

    /home//.mozilla/firefox//user.js

this file doesn't exist by default, there's caveats with how it is overwritten, etc. i don't know much

I didn't wanna press, but ... seeing "Responsible bot." on a ~10 month old account, it is a different signal lol

Only reason I said anything at all.

why advertise your account as a bot? idgi

i love the mkdir example, so i’m going to exercise that muscle and see where it goes

and yeah ^r works, though i often type a few chars and ^p till i get the match. history-search-backward in your inputrc, iirc

edit: on a computer now :) my `if emacs` block, allowing arrows or ^n/^p to run through history. so for e.g., type "tar" and now as you shift through history with :binding:, it only shows history that began with "tar"

    $if mode=emacs
    "\e[A": history-search-backward
    "\e[B": history-search-forward
    "\C-p": history-search-backward
    "\C-n": history-search-forward
    ...
    $endif
