Savage self-burn. Bravo

I don't know why I'm surprised. I guess I just assumed there would be some link to reality.

The article doesn't offer a single statistic suggesting there is a resurgence of landlines, much less that Gen Z folks are responsible for it. It's basically just a fiction piece.

At the beginning the crowd was scared, but then by the end they were disappointed the last segment didn't fall. It was like Stockholm Syndrome in 30 seconds. What an emotional rollercoaster!

As someone who doesn't work in tech, I mainly homelab as a way to learn about different technologies for fun. But I also like that I can invest in and control my own data, and don't have to risk that my data will be inaccessible because a company goes under or changes their business model.

Very nice photo. I'm from Kentucky. Just out of curiosity, where (about) is this?

If you want to see all the conflicting findings and by-the-minute updates, this post is great: https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/claims-of-room-temperature-and-ambient-pressure-superconductor.1106083/page-11?post=94266395

I'm very much not an expert, but my read of this is: most replication efforts have mostly failed when it comes to making a working room temp superconductor (meaning conducts electricity with no resistance). However, groups are increasingly seeing some of the other characteristics expected from superconductors, and it appears that the failures might just be caused by using an unrefined technique.

So time will tell, but this is probably a big advance, but not itself a world changer just yet.

There are several places where the reporters don't use what would today be typical words for things. I guess at that time the general public wouldn't have understood words like "graphics" or "platform"?

I second this. I'm a casual Linux user for hosting personal things at home. I'm not a tech professional. I use Ubuntu because I typically don't know how to do things on my own, so I need to be able to find guides.

I know this is the self-hosted Community, but I would use GitHub for that use case. I like to keep notes and links in plaintext files, and then store those instruction documents together in a project with any files needed for the project (like config files), that can then ask be easily pulled to the device you're working on. You can also get fancy and store the instructions in batch files that actually carry out the steps for you.

Of course something very similar could be achieved with a self-hosted git instance, but I like using GitHub because I like having the web interface and Pages option when those are relevant.

Thank you!
