It’s new roms for the Nokia N8 if you still have one. It’s a 2010 phone so no idea if it has 5g or even 4g. Meh. I still have an N9 which is also unusable today because the 3g network here is gone.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Blokhin

Blokhin was selected for the position by Joseph Stalin in 1926 and led a company of executioners that performed and supervised numerous mass killings in the Soviet Union during Stalin’s reign, mostly during the Great Purge and Eastern Front of World War II.[1] Blokhin is recorded as having executed tens of thousands of prisoners by his own hand, including his killing of about 7,000 Polish prisoners of war during the Katyn massacre in spring 1940, making him the most prolific official executioner in recorded world history.[1][2][3] Blokhin was forced into retirement in 1953 after the death of Stalin and condemned during de-Stalinization shortly before his death in 1955.

Burner phone still tracks the person everywhere. Yeah it’s hard. Too bad 1-way pagers are near extinct now.

Phone # seems like a scary thing to collect. Also, visiting the web site reveals an IP address, maybe not good. Wonder if there’s a more anonymous way to get the alerts out, like if some larger sites sent out alert geolocations along with regular web pages.

The Nation can make nominations? What about c/nottheonion? This could get interesting.

Why were they collecting that info to begin with? Sounds like asking for trouble.

No it doesn’t, you want to be able to turn off JS while it is running, and that is now impossible. Noscript stops it from running in the first place and that breaks too many sites.

Pepperidge Farms remembers when Firefox had a control like that to turn JavaScript on and off. The rest of you are supposed to have forgotten. Oops.

And you’re really cool if you also have a 2004 printer.

In interstellar space there is no temperature differential for that solar cell scheme to work from. It only works when there is something that is heated by the sun part of the time, and radiates heat into space the rest of the time. Maybe the far (“dark”) side of the moon counts for that, but for a moon station you probably want batteries or RTG’s or whatever. I’m sure there are uses for this thing but they sound very niche. Radiating heat into space on hot nights on the other hand is quite interesting, as an alternative to air conditioning.

Do I want to know what that is? Five nights just meaning surfing some pr0n site?

The thing about deep space is confusing. Where is it dark for long periods in deep space?

Dyson sphere is supposed to go around the SUN not the Earth. FAIL.

One hour, bah. I don’t understand why people complain about 1 minute youtube shorts. That seems about the right length.

Microslop is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11.

Why bother? Just upgrade everyone to Windows 10.

Dunno what happened with your subculture but there is a recurring path that isn’t pretty:

For a clock or ticker, the 1:2 aspect ratio and 64x128 resolution are way suboptimal. You want something like 16x64 or 16x128 with bigger leds. I got crap free LED clock with 2" tall digits a while back if that is of any interest. Not that configurable though.

Hardcore nerds use TeX but if I understand your question, you probably want LibreOffice. I’m unfamiliar with OnlyOffice so ok, maybe that’s good too.

I haven’t had trouble with 3rd party batteries but there’s a combination of FUD and legitimate scare stories about them. For cylindrical cells, the really cheap ones are crap and this can be detect by X-ray:

IDK if there’s a similar deal with pouch cells.

Generally, replace your battery at below 50%. At 68% I’d keep using it. Maybe add a power bank if you want to keep going for longer. If 68% isn’t enough to get through your day, then 100% is at best sort of marginal.
