No clue who Frank Castle is, but Castle Frank is an area and a subway station in Toronto.

He got at least partially Canadianized mid post switching from miles to kilometres.

Pull a docker image of an old distro into an apptainer sandbox, install what you need within, then make a .sif image, should work pretty much in perpetuity. You can also try to make an Appimage.

You can't successfully use a home email server.

Mostly true (server can be home but using the ISP network directly probably won't work)

You can't successfully use an email server on a (cloud) VPS.

Bullshit

You can't successfully use an email server on a bare metal machine in your own datacenter.

Bullshit

As such, it is my distinct displeasure to declare the death of SMTP. The protocol is no longer usable. And as we can see, this devolution occurred organically.

Bullshit

Astrophysicist here. Yes, space is crazy, but interesting things to keep in mind:

  1. The size of a star is determined by something called the photosphere. With those extremely massive stars, you can be hundreds of millions of kilometres "inside" and not yet know it.
  2. Similar story with supermassive black holes, from the perspective of an astronaut falling in, they wouldn't really be able to tell when they cross the horizon because the tidal forces there are very small (they will inevitably fall towards the centre and get spaghettified at some point)

I'm not an expert but I feel like organizations like Wikipedia that are not based in the UK and do not do business in the UK shouldn't fight or comply with this nonsense. If the British government instructs ISPs to block access to Wikipedia, let them, and see the uproar it generates.

Funny but not so accurate. We don't actually know when Legolas was born, we don't know that the mithril coat was actually forged in Erebor (it could certainly have been brought during the resettlement from the Grey Mountains), and we don't know what "some young elf-prince long ago" actually means and that none was born since the fouding of Erebor (I don't think we have an exhaustive list of noble elves from the text).

BJ almost certainly stands for Beijing here (although the company is apparently Qingdao-based). You see it a lot in China, including very oblivious "I ❤️ BJ" T-shirts worn by old ladies.

It's exaggerated but yes, this map really reminds me of many large Chinese cities. It's probably true every major city has a People's Square. I think the map is based on Beijing.

That is the way. I just don't understand open source projects that have no ties to regions where these dumb regulations exist blocking users from said region. Why is it your problem? If California (for example) wants to block your website, let it be their problem.

The accusation that Jarczak bypassed their authorization controls in violation of section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Why the fuck is the DMCA even a factor when the parties are in Poland and China?
