NBN Co to accelerate higher speed tiers and launch multi-gigabit speeds in September 2025
  • Yeah, that's not happening. They're desperate to push revenue per user up, so they keep hiking low speed prices to push people towards 100+ megabit plans.

  • Pointing a desk fan into a computer works fine and is a useful troubleshooting step if you suspect something is overheating, but if you need to do it that probably means heatsinks are clogged with dust, aren't sized appropriately or aren't making good contact. So you really should fix that problem.

    Intel CEO is "frustrated" with CHIPS Act payout progress — Intel has received $0 from the $8.5 billion that the US government promised
  • Why won't the government just give them the money and trust that they'll do what they said? It worked out great paying companies to roll out fiber years ago, that's why we're all on reliable, high speed fiber internet today.

    Final Fantasy 14's next big challenge: Making players feel like they're getting their monthly sub's worth—not just funding Square's flops while WoW stacks value
  • Okay, but if they packed it full of microtransactions and premium currency, it'd be a worse game.

    Unless you mean you just want the publisher to make less money, which isn't an option they're going to be interested in.

  • IIRC different species of frogs make wildly different sounds, so all of the languages might just be what type of frog lives in that country.

    Is there a way to use a vpn on one network card, and use a second network card for a regular connection?
  • I mean, it's bits of configuration all over the place that I've built up over time. It isn't a single script on one machine, and you'd need to change a lot of things if you weren't running Slackware. I can't really copy and paste it all.

    Is there a way to use a vpn on one network card, and use a second network card for a regular connection?
  • Network namespaces and policy based routing are black magic, IMO.

    I've got a VPN set up on my router and separate VLANs set up for ordinary traffic and VPN traffic. A device doesn't need to support VPNs at all, I just connect it to the VPN VLAN and all its traffic goes over the VPN whether it likes it or not. I've got separate wifi SSIDs for each VLAN.

    My desktop is connected to both VLANs with a network namespace set up for the VPN VLAN, so sudo vpn rtorrent runs rtorrent in the namespace that's connected to the VPN VLAN.

    My setup is nice, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to learn quite a bit about networking.

    South Australia’s upper house narrowly rejects ‘Trumpian’ bill to wind back abortion care
  • Our lizard people see how much money their lizard people are making torturing their peasants and want to get in on the action. That's why we have the push towards private health care.

  • > In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl? > > We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.
