Wow, discovering and ultimately unmasking the hacker is a great story.
And from the end of the Wikipedia article:
Stoll sells blown glass Klein bottles on the internet through his company Acme Klein Bottles. He stores his inventory in the crawlspace underneath his home in Oakland, California, and accesses it when needed with a homemade miniature robotic forklift.
I want to know more about this!
- Comment on butt mogged these zoomers today 2 weeks ago:
I took this as more like Mom humor (a la Dad jokes). Like a super cringe impersonation of ‘memeing’.
I was kinda of excited to mogg my zoomers. I’d have to fake the post aspect cause I don’t have social media to post to.
If it’s already some other thing then bummer. It really ruins it if my kids are like that’s old news dude. Saw something about 2022/3 somewhere :-( . Planned to work the ‘original plankster’ in there too.

I need like an upvote plus button. Like a “nice!” button. I’m always fighting the urge to post “damn that’s funny” all over the place.
An upvote should cover it I suppose, but it’s not satisfying.
Anyway, good one
- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 5 weeks ago:
ImageJ is great for stuff like that. Fiji is probably a better route for less fuss (Fiji Is Just ImageJ, plus some popular plugins)

Omg I just read about that the other day but I’m too stupid and forgetful… Something about the existence of inf + 1

I like to read sci-fi. You read any sci-fi? Anything you really liked?

Sometimes I think I’m too stoned for lemmy.
I love books though so ::thumbs-up::
- Comment on What even is fire? 3 months ago:
Usually there’s a significant amount of ions in a flame, enough to make a little conductive. That’s where the plasma characterization comes from
- Comment on Patch this Bish! 3 months ago:
The paper (which is very short) said 500-700nm and referenced an older (1997) paper that reported on a bunch of UV and visual emitting living systems. I looked there but didn’t pinpoint an answer. It did mention that the emission doesn’t usually have sharp peaks (as the reason they trade spectral resolution for sensitivity). It seems like the emitting molecules are large, so it’s probably pretty broad.
Anyway… that made me nice and sleepy.

I want to know at what wavelengths. Did I miss it?
It bugs me that they say ‘it’s not infrared - it’s photons!’ (paraphrasing).

- Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds 4 months ago:
Oh god. I’ve got no carpet so sound moves well through my house despite doors being closed. Hearing something looping because they set their phone down while doing something. Why at such high volume child? After about 5 loops I yell.
- Comment on "PowerSchool has informed us that they have taken action with the hackers to ensure the unauthorized data was deleted without any further replication or dissemination." 4 months ago:
I heard an interview with a (US) lawyer specializing in data breaches. They pointed out the fine print of accepting monitoring often includes releasing the offering company of liability, agreeing to arbitration, things like that
- Comment on flouride 5 months ago:
lead poisoning becomes evident pretty early though doesn’t it? (With respect to kids)
I would think that the ratio of persistent exposure to unsafe level has got to be easily higher in cases like Flint than any fluoride-in-the-water usage. Just speculation on my part.
What measures are taken to avoid screwing up the dosage, anyone know? Maybe predilute so that an oops requires multiple buckets instead of vials?

Who’s profiting off of putting flouride in the water? What is this flouride industry making money hand over first?

(I’m an idiot but this is probably good info for people who can better advise)
What level of game do you have in mind? I’m wondering if something browser playable is in order. Have you considered the story of the chrome browser dinosaur game?
