- Comment on Scientists Just Made Light Speed Visible. The Images Will Break Your Brain. 3 hours ago:
It would just look stretched and/or rotated.
Basically, you can see the back side of the object, because the object moves out of the way of its own light.
- Comment on Scientists Just Made Light Speed Visible. The Images Will Break Your Brain. 5 hours ago:
Until you read the explanation, which the article omits. The phenomenon is that an object moving at 0.999c appears rotated, where the leading face appears to be oriented away from the viewer, and the trailing face appears oriented towards the viewer.
By Penrose: “the light from the trailing part reaches the observer from behind the sphere, which it can do since the sphere is continuously moving out of its way”.

That article has nice diagrams too.

That’s what it sounds like.

Or if you want subtitles but the player doesn’t support them. Then jellyfin will need to burn them into the stream.

I’d just start reading at the top and play some that look fun. Sales are a fair proxy for “good” games. I’m sure there are ratings lists too, if you feel so inclined.
(You can probably skip all the sports games, though.)

It automatically focuses on whoever is speaking.

Yes.
Keep in mind it doesn’t apply to file extensions. I forget if there’s a feature request outstanding or if it was rejected.
- Comment on Bezos plan for solar powered datacenters is out of this world… literally 2 days ago:
And efficiency, too. Even at a really good 50%, both for the solar panels and the maser, that’s still a fuckton of heat being generated.
- Comment on Bezos plan for solar powered datacenters is out of this world… literally 2 days ago:
This is stupid as hell. Fortunately the article covers the reasons why. Points to Tobias for proper journalism instead of just breathlessly repeating their slop.
- Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name 2 days ago:
Yeah, either check for that setting I mentioned or clear the site data.
- Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name 2 days ago:
No, you’d just need to deal with running DNS locally, you can still use LE for internal certs.
But you still need to pass one of their challenges. Public DNS works for that. You don’t need to have any records in public DNS though.

This isn’t so much a guide as it is one person’s list of setup steps.

Try a different browser, or the curl command in another comment. Your understanding so far is correct, though unusual, typically it’s not recommended to put LAN records in WAN DNS.
But if you’ve ever run HTTPS there before, Firefox might remember that and try to use it automatically. I think there’s a setting in Firefox. You might also try the function to forget site information, both for the name and IP. I assume you haven’t turned on any HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect in nginx.
Also verify that nginx is set up with a site for that name, or has a default site. If it doesn’t, then it doesn’t know what to do and will fail.

Yeah, but someone bought the brand itself a while back. It’s not the same limewire.
- Comment on Rock Band 4 to be delisted on tenth anniversary following the expiration of its licenses 3 days ago:
I can’t name any cases off the top of my head, but I don’t see a reasonable court equating hypothetical future earnings with present losses.
Like if it was “he stole my harvest of beans that I was going to sell at market” then yeah the harm is obvious, but when it’s “well I’m not selling the beans now, and I’m not planning on selling them in the future, but someday I might, therefore no one else should be able to appreciate beans in the meantime” that’s ridiculous. Especially since piracy is not theft; the number of beans has not changed.
- Comment on Rock Band 4 to be delisted on tenth anniversary following the expiration of its licenses 5 days ago:
It’s certainly ethical, if not legal.
You could make a good argument in court, too. Hard to show damages when there’s no possibility of profit because you’re not selling it.

Plastic fiber is probably a lot cheaper than copper wire, for one thing. Probably easier to multiplex too.

There’s no market. Fixed wireless is the current thing.
- Comment on AOL’s dial up internet takes its last bow, marking the end of an era 5 days ago:
I’m sure it’s doable. But a cellular pay-as-you-go data plan and router is pretty common.
I don’t think telcos will even give you copper phone service any more, unless you happen to be in a covered area, or you want to pay an exorbitant amount. Most service is going to be VoIP or cellular with a desk phone.
- Comment on These parachutes unfurl thanks to the Japanese art of kirigami 6 days ago:
A human dangling from one of the kirigami parachutes would need one with a radius of about 100 meters to keep from crash-landing.
So, more limited utility. Still neat though.
