Pretty funny considering that 25 years ago XMPP (aka Jabber) came out that is heavily XML verbose based protocol and it actually performed rather well as both an instant messenger and IRC bridge and alternative chat medium.

Both Starsiege Tribes and Tribes 2 have always supported UDP discovery of LAN servers (via sending/receiving packets over subnet broadcast address) then found game servers showed up in the server browser. The games also support manual direct connecting to an IP address or resolvable hostname.

AT&T has been stating that they offer fiber (up to 5 Gbps) in my neighborhood since around 2018 (surprise surprise! A year after Google announced they'll start rolling out here, but still no show) according to , but in fact they don't have anything but ADSL2 service (up to 65 Mbps, for $55 USD!) anywhere on this 5 mile stretch of road.

Wyze isn't any better. They keep increasing their Cam Plus prices. Among other issues.

My cameras will randomly not be recognized as having Cam Plus subscription (not the Lite tier) and so it won't continuously record most events to the cloud. I do have samsung pro endurance microSD cards in the cameras, so I won't miss anything, however the app does take a long time to connect to cameras in order to playback the recorded video.

Going on two years now unfortunately the cameras will have gaps in video recordings (in both cloud and microSD card) after ~5 seconds into an event occurs where you'll lose 5 to 7 seconds. Such as an Amazon delivery you'll see a person walk to the front door, suddenly they've already placed the package at the door, and they're walking away. Face not clearly shown because the camera hiccuped while they were close by.

And the Wyze App will pester you to upgrade to a higher level subscription tier (Cam Protect), new products in store, etc... gah..

I would replace the cameras with something else, but they were very inexpensive to buy in bulk. Pros and cons, it seems they all have it.

What are you talking about? The Trump administration made a deal with the Taliban: https://www.congress.gov/event...

The deal was for the U.S. Military to pull out by May 2021: https://www.axios.com/2020/02/...

Alright! Who allowed Mr. Rodney McKay to do another zero-point energy experiment?

Cause apparently blowing up 5/6th of solar system wasn't enough.

And it's obviously intentional as I've noticed this article's posted time was bumped up in order for it to be placed at the top of the home page.

Article current posted time "8:00 AM", however first comment shows as posted at "5:25 AM". And I saw it below AMC Zoom Room article earlier that shows its posted time "7:00 AM". Which means this "Oculus ad" had an earlier posted time before 7:00 AM.

I know from experience the SATA NCQ Samsung SSDs issue is not limited to EPYC but even on old hardware such as AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor and motherboard with a Marvell 9215 SATA controller.

Which in my opinion rules out host hardware but more than likely a problem with the SATA driver and/or Samsung SSD controllers.

This is what happens when the patent system is changed to first to file instead of first to invent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

They have it backwards. It's my own texts on iOS (as an iPhone user) that have a different background color depending on who I am texting with over which medium (SMS for green, iMessage for blue), not the other person's text. The other person I'm texting with always has the light gray background color.

For me it's always been the case since at least iOS 12 when I started owning an iPhone.

I don't know what you are on about considering that all textual IP addresses start off as strings until parsed.

In this rare case somebody was passing an octal dot notation formatted IP address or CIDR as a parameter but the program was parsing the IP address or CIDR as decimal dot notation as it wasn't checking for or supported leading zeros in order to use octal dot notation.

Who thought octal IP addresses were ever a thing? Because every single RFC, standard, and software documentation out there written in the last three decades has specified IPv4 addresses in dot-decimal notation, except for cases when documenting IP packet header address fields as 32-bit unsigned integers. Not to mention CIDR standard RFC1519 and superseding RFC4632 never mention the word octal much less provide examples for it.

So what software out there is actually using netmask program to validate octal IPv4 CIDR formatting ranges?

Mozilla can just fuck right off. They're pulling this shit at the same time they're planning on removing userContent.css support.

Started seeing slow startup since they moved to using Qt for front end. Qt is a cross platform fully configurable GUI framework that has multiple plugins that it scans for, initializes each one at a time, and then is ready for use which is noticeably slow at first run.

Too bad I can't mod this to +1 Sad, but true
