I have blocked it for years with ublock origin, if a site doesn't work, ctrl-w. Nowadays i cannot even use google search because of this, any search will trigger a captcha, hilarious (atleast on chromium-based browsers, firefox lets me get a page or two).

nonamesleft — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 12:15:24 +0000

1209 across 8 windows, been like this since the year 2000 or thereabouts (netscape with a tabbed window manager back then, then opera), most of them are hibernated. Why? Bookmarks just dont seem to work for me, i do have some thousands of those for stuff that is not related to anything thats going on right now.

Not much better as that just hands out recaptchas.

Also seemed to work over ICMP ping, with "+++ATH0M0DT112", they did not return to the channel.

I think it was some buggy Rockwell modem chips that did not require the delay between +++ and switching to command mode, but it has been some decades.

No keyboard, enormous bulbous camera. (Was just dreaming after unihertz said it doesn't deliver to my EU country (after taking my money), guess i'll stick to my featurephone for now).

G-klasse W465 is shorter than the equivalent medium sized sedan (E-klasse W214, and even shorter than my W212), and the hood is nowhere near as high as those overseas pickup trucks.

The monstrously large (5.8 meters) G63 6x6 is considerably rarer (i have never seen one in person).

Ran synapse for a few months, figured out all the tui clients are either abandonware or broken (originally thought i could use bitlbee, and did the install before realizing it was unusable).

Looked at current tui offerings now some years later, situation seems to be unchanged, the only client that ran back then was gomuks, and that has received a rewrite that hasn't reached feature parity yet.

I am probably the type of person referred to in the last part of xkcd 1782.

Nuvie, the Ultima VI engine recreation (also runs SE and MD afaik) is what scummvm absorbed.

I also remember churning enough butter to fill backpacks in Ultima VI. (don't recall offhand whether bread was doable)

Strap rail seems to be often found in older abandoned mines in North America (source: watching hours of TVR Exploring and Mine Explorers -videos on youtube ( https://www.youtube.com/@TVRExploring/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxhNU-gNyPq2lXA7JhLB90Q/vid... )).

My meatbound pattern recognition suggested Golem XIV (Stanisław Lem) as the factor (naturally with incomplete information on the actual reasons) before even opening the link.

news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing.comtr:has(a.hnuser):has-text(/\bbschmidt.*\b/)

Is what mine is, altho a simple :has-text('bschmidt') might work.

edit: news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing.comtr:has(a.hnuser:has-text('bschmidt'))

might work better, it seems mine also had the same problem as yours..

Patch localization/en-US/browser/browserSets.ftl in your browser/omni.ja (a .zip with a weird file extension), it contains stuff like: close-shortcut = .key = W

See: https://github.com/SebastianSimon/firefox-omni-tweaks how it can be done.

I do this myself as ctrl-n has to be new tab for me, forever, and firefox broke the old keyconfig extension years and years ago. (I had ctrl-n create tabs with an external window manager back in netscape 4 times and opera (pre-chrome-fork one) after that.)

New comment by nonamesleft in "Who uses Accept-Language header?"

nonamesleft — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 12:31:54 +0000

Indeed, google never behaves for me, always hands me language localized to my ip, even though my Accept-Language contains "en-US,en;q=0.9" (the local language is my native one, but i find using services or software that are originally in English translated to my (non-PIE) language awful, even anger-inducing).

For search i have had &hl=en added to the search parameters since forever.

New comment by nonamesleft in "What You Get After Running an SSH Honeypot for 30 Days"

A lot of these seem to use zmap (https://github.com/zmap/zmap) or masscan (https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/masscan) for the initial scan.

Often with default parameters such as zmap setting ip id to 54321, having tcp initial window at 65535, having no SACK bit set and masscan with no SACK bit either, tcp initial window at 1024, tcp maximum segment size 1460 (which is strange to put below initial window size!), (older versions having fixed src port 61000 or 60000 from documentation examples and no MSS set), all of which are extremly uncommon in legitimate traffic and thus easily identified.

Even those so called "legitimate" scanners (emphasis on the "") seem to use these tools with little or no extra configuration.

With this setup the last time my high-port ssh (key-only) has got an attempt on it was 2023-07-26 (previous intruders get permanently firewalled).

New comment by nonamesleft in "Ask HN: Where have all the large monitors gone?"

nonamesleft — Sat, 27 Apr 2024 18:28:11 +0000

38"? ASUS ROG PG38UQ, 144Hz ips 4k (bought one recently as i wanted a >35" 4k ips with atleast then 120Hz), and from what i can gather it is the only ips screen those specs so far. (I am afraid of oled burnin as i tend to use my monitors for decade+.)
