Where can I find a good wifi?
At my home. Be my guest for 1 coffee.

How old are you?
Can you believe that times are different at all?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
And that is different from Social Media of today in what way?
In so many ways you can’t even imagine.
Most of it comes down to: things on today’s social media are 99.9% lies, and 1000 different ways of lying are involved all the time. That just wasn’t there. If there were lies in the official media, then it was the exception, not the normal, and the audience often recognized it, because they knew in advance what these “critical” topics were.
But there was also the time dimension. Nobody knew at that time what had happened somewhere else in the same hour. Rarely in the same week. Outcries about war crimes often happened only years later. And that was NOT regarded as a problem but as the normal thing, things were just as they were.

How are there people who don’t know Alaska and Hawaii are states?
Because most of the people you would expect to know about them are uneducated and never care about such topics.
- Comment on How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree? 2 days ago:
I’ve got quite a bit of experience with Linux and I manage a home server, but that probably doesn’t differentiate me much. I’m honestly interested in most things computer related, but don’t know of any specific fields to seek out.
But yes, there is a chance in it. This experience can give you a head start into cloud computing technologies, virtualisation, virtual networking, kubernetes etc. For a good many current IT experts this is still a hornet’s nest where they don’t even dare to stick their nose in, and a lot of others can use it, but never become experts there.

But that wave is at it’s max currently. Chances are that it’s over when OP wants to start a job.
- Comment on Is it just the norm now-a-days for grocery stores to have lots of stuff on the shelves that's past the best-by date? 3 days ago:
Why don’t you grab someone who works there and tell them and show them in all detail, and steal them the full 20 minutes it took you to write all this down (and I didn’t read, because it makes no difference).
If several people would do that every day in every one of their stores, they would rethink their policies for sure.
- Comment on How do people easily find out that I'm an easy to pick up on? 5 days ago:
First I just thought it was one toxic guy who picked up on me and had a knack on finding bully targets. Then, I have changed teams away from this dude and I felt I was surrounded by sane people this time but it happened again. It starts with one person making fun of me and others start to pick it up.
I was exactly the same when I was young. Fast forward a few decades and it is all gone.
I think it is some general lack of confidence. The (apparently) weakest one gets eaten.

No. All bigger websites already have DDOS protection.

“That’s a nice shirt, is it new?”
Want to have it?
“Hey [name], I like your hair!”
Want to have it?
- Comment on Is it safe to connect a Windows XP machine to my wi-fi network? 1 week ago:
Nobody is targeting XP these days
The bots out there do.
it cannot magically get infected from the internet unless you do something.
That’s too theoretical!
XP itself will “do something” and expose itself.
- Comment on Is it safe to connect a Windows XP machine to my wi-fi network? 1 week ago:
Yes, bad idea.
- Comment on how can text from an image not show up in a thumbnail? 1 week ago:
Cause the boy is wearing his T-shirt inside out 😇
- Comment on In Open Carry states, is it also allowed to openly carry bladed weapons like Swords? Bow and arrow? 1 week ago:
Better take a Fireblade
- Comment on Would it be offensive for me to wear bonnets as a white person? 1 week ago:
The racism doesn’t happen on your head.
The racism happens when you make such decisions in your questions and statements:
“me … a white person”
- Comment on Could I theoretically grind up one of those pink salt lamps and use it to season my food? 2 weeks ago:
I assume that both salts are just NaCl,
One contains some other stuff too, the kind that you don’t want to eat
- Comment on When do we riot? 2 weeks ago:
But they could eat cake…?
- Comment on How no-techy/"common" people know if a Open Source code is secure? 2 weeks ago:
No. Software hasn’t thousands, but millions of lines of code. So what did you think that programmers owe you?
Open source software is none the worse just because you can’t read source code. Nobody requires you to read it.
You can decide to trust the others that have actually read the source code. Or the ones that use it without reading the source code. Or you can decide not to trust them. You are free to decide. You are even free not to decide :)
Now tell us about your freedom when you pay for Microslop.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Preferrable, of course. If affordable.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Your have already told your age. But more data is needed.
Your height? Your weight? What kind of work every day? How much sports? General physical fitness? Blood pressure?
If you don’t want to tell the whole world here, that’s OK and understandable. But find a trusted person in real life to look at your situation.
- Comment on Do non-English speakers learn to code in English, or in their native language? 2 weeks ago:
“string” “for” and “if”
That’s the part that the experts call “programming language”
- Comment on Do non-English speakers learn to code in English, or in their native language? 2 weeks ago:
Do non-English speakers learn to code in English
Why should they?
Code is programming language, not natural language. If they have already learned some natural English, then maybe it seems practical. Otherwise, no reason to try that.
- Comment on A Linux Version of Windows 11 2 weeks ago:
No. In a virtual machine. Most parts of Windows and it’s apps won’t ever notice that.
- Comment on A Linux Version of Windows 11 2 weeks ago:
Maybe you are looking for qemu, or the more luxurious Proxmox VE.
It is…
a Linux OS
…and it can…
run Windows 11 apps natively?
…run Windows 11 first and then run Windows 11 apps natively
- Comment on If your in jail and you have a heart condition, and they taser you and you die are they responsible? Even if they know you have a heart condition? 3 weeks ago:
Always wear a large sign on your back (they taser always from behind), saying:
“Do not taser!
Heart condition!”That will make them taser you twice as good, so it is over quickly.
- Comment on How Come Latin Didn't Spread in the Middle East as Much as it did in Europe? 3 weeks ago:
You knew exactly what I meant
Well, no. You are writing a less than precise style, and you are up the walls and … whatever
- Comment on How Come Latin Didn't Spread in the Middle East as Much as it did in Europe? 3 weeks ago:
ok, so almost all americans have an IQ below their presisent? 😅
- Comment on How Come Latin Didn't Spread in the Middle East as Much as it did in Europe? 3 weeks ago:
being the basis of almost every language there,
That is simply not true.
Only for these 6 you can call it the basis: Italian, French, Spanish, Portugese, Romanian, Moldovan. It has also influenced English a lot.
That makes 280 mill people in Europe having one of these as their native language.
And then there are about 435 mill people in Europe who have one of the 35 other European languages as their native language.
