Depends.
I am in uni, so a bit different, but there’s many sites that allow access to articles, studies, books, etc. to us based on source IP. And I guess it could be hard to route only those, especially if some of them decide to use Cloudflare or similar.Another option is doing so for easier monitoring of work devices that people will always try to use for things they’re not supposed to.

I wonder how many references I am missing daily.
I’ve watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and then started seeing references to it everywhere.
I read 1984, and then started seeing references to it everywhere.
I watched Idiocracy, and then started seeing references to it everywhere.
I switched to Arch, and then started seeing references to it everywhere, btw.
etc…And it doesn’t stop. This has to mean I still keep missing many. I’d probably scroll past this comment if I didn’t see that label on some Adata drive, since they don’t seem to be that common in EU.

I prefer up:
- I get to see if the water is actually leaving and stops flowing when it’s supposed to, which often happens not to be the case
- It’s easier to put it up than down for me
No. 2 might not make much sense, but I don’t like touching the seat. It’s far easier to put it up with the side of my sole than do the opposite.

When I was on ADHD meds I was just sleepy. All the time. Sleeping during classes was worse, so that was the last time I had any meds.
- Comment on We all have those dreams 1 week ago:
I only remember my ereyesterday’s dream. A bit weird.
There was a war, against people past a hill. We fought with old muskets and knives. Sort of. Those muskets could be loaded 5 times in advance, and shoot 5 shots.
I’ve enjoyed killing. It filled me with joy seeing a bullet go through someone’s head or chest. We ran out of bullets, I picked up another musket that still had 2. Went back to the hill, firing both shots. Then I again went down and picked a large cleaver. Ready to chop into any enemy at arm distance, I ran back.
An enemy was at reach, when all of a sudden, the war has ended.
I couldn’t get over it. My purpose was to kill, to slash, to shoot, now it was over. I had no purpose, all I ever could do was gone. No more killing.I don’t know what to make out of it.

- Comment on Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices 2 weeks ago:
I thought I’d be fine, that I’d buy the other 16GB stick later. Now is later, I am screwed. I had to enable the use of ALT-SysRq-f to manually invoke OOM-killer because I often run out of RAM.
8GB just feels like way too little for a new laptop. Well, maybe the absolutely cheap ones, but “mid-range”, no.
It’s crazy. A bit over a year ago I got a refurbished ThinkPad for €180 with 1x16GB of RAM. Now that RAM costs around €120.

Wouldn’t that actually be a problem because it absorbs water?
I mean, I don’t know how it works when it’s in food. But psyllium husk is a bit interesting. Diarrhea? It absorbs water. Constipation? It absorbs water, and is something soft.
Now take too much or don’t drink enough water and you’re absolutely screwed.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6197948/
21-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department complaining of a lower abdominal pain and constipation for 5 days. […] The patient was diagnosed to have a constipation and was discharged home on Psyllium (ispaghula husk) sachets 7 g twice daily as a laxative. […] Repeated abdominal X-ray showed a huge fecal loading filling the whole colon with no gas fluid levels
During his stay in the hospital, the patient admitted that prior to the onset of the constipation he had ingested psyllium husks as herbal medicine for the purpose of weight control and health promotion. He ingested the husks without adequate amount of fluids because he was fasting in Ramadan (during fasting hours, no eating or drinking fluids are allowed). While in the hospital, the patient received repeated enemas. He passed a huge amount of fecal matter and the intestinal obstruction was relieved.

I wanted to get a noise meter for a long time now, but they’re expensive. A lot of daily things just sound… potentially dangerously loud. Public transit, for example.
I want something that can go a least up to 20kHz, most do just up to 8kHz. There’s one supermarket I was at once that had some “repeller” which felt painfully loud. It kept changing frequencies, lowest at 15.5kHz when I checked with my phone. I was considering throwing a rock/brick at it while waiting there, but hiding behind a corner seems fine enough with higher frequencies. - Comment on wow, I just found out that Donald Trump has been awarded inaugural FIFA Peace Prize 4 weeks ago:

I don’t know, but I’d be too. I am even with regular items, honestly, and even with less damages. Like a single small scratch on otherwise pristine surface.
- Comment on How do I not kill my Iomega ZIP drive I just got? (The experiences I've heard of scare me) 5 weeks ago:
I wish I could see into the drive when it was clicking to see what exactly was happening, whether it was seek issue, or the head arm was just stuck (and not even entering the disk). It should have been functional before shipping. And also, I let it warm up for an hour, but there was some condensation after bringing it in on it, and I don’t know how it was doing inside, though I think it should have been okay after that much time on table.
Anyway, as for the problematic disk, Iomegaware’s full format manages to take care of it, but it’s far slower than writing the whole disk.
Long Format performs a complete surface verify on the disk as it is formatted. This option should be used for all disks that have developed read/write errors.
It also shows disk and “formatting” life percentage, whatever those actually mean. I couldn’t get Trouble in Paradise to work in either Windows XP or 2000, though I didn’t try on bare metal.

One I wish I could get is SuperDisk LS-240. It came some time later, so it wasn’t quite popular, but the later LS-240 drives had one very cool trick. They could re-format 1.44MB floppies to FD32MB format as they called it, bringing them to 32MB through the use of SMR. Of course, they couldn’t then be used in regular floppy drives again, but damn, 32MB on a regular 3.5" floppy.
- Comment on How do I not kill my Iomega ZIP drive I just got? (The experiences I've heard of scare me) 5 weeks ago:
Well, yeah. That’s the one I fear.
But there seems to be 2 ways it can happen.
- Non catastrophic - misaligned write destroying factory low level formatting
- Ripped off drive heads
And I also found one blog post where it was caused by the 4 plastic prongs getting bent due to a stiff shutter on one of the disks, which was fixable by bending those back: www.siber-sonic.com/mac/Zip250fix.html
