This is not an ad BTW, I literally stumbled upon it a few minutes ago. From what I can gather, however, this is a [DIY-ish] search engine that solely searches on text (no other forms of media, such as, ... idk hypertext maybe), which allows users to have more control over queries (like including and excluding terms). I suppose this would prune out most of the modern websites, but I guess some of y'all would prefer that option anyway. Has anyone else tried it out? I'm genuinely curious about more opinions on this

Just to add, some also theorize that new elements may turn out to be stable, sort of the reverse of how f-block elements are a bunch of unstable elements in the middle of more stable [d-block] ones. If that is indeed the case, we may find a lot more candidates to work with in, say, materials science.

A flair-like implementation would be nice for certain communities. From past experience on reddit, I can see how it could be beneficial to filter a community's posts through tags, say, to check latest announcements or new support questions. I'd personally prefer community-specific tags as opposed to global post tags ~~(which is what I inferred from this post's content, I haven't read the RFC yet though)~~ edit: the RFC talks about both instance-based tags and community-based tags, which is even better

Not exactly what you wanted, but njalla is a privacy-focussed domain registrar that basically buys domains on your behalf under their own name and gives you all the access to it that you need

When the water vapor inside the jar comes in thermal contact with the ice outside, it condenses and precipitates. This decreases the vapor pressure inside the jar, which then causes the water to boil.

Boiling is not just a temperature-based phenomenon, it's also a pressure-based one: a water body maintains an equilibrium between liquid water and water vapor right above its surface. If you remove the water vapor from above the surface, it decreases the vapor pressure and shifts the equilibrium away from the liquid state, which is essentially boiling. Note that this is different from evaporation since the liquid water is not using heat from an external source to vaporize. You can also see this in daily life, for example, in that water boils at a different temperature on mountains due to pressure difference.

That's some high IQ usage of a meme. Lemme see if I'm getting this right:

  • the total area of the image ( = RHS of the equation) is 1
  • you divide the image into 4 parts so that the area of 1 part is is 1/4 ( = 1/2^(2*1)). You take the first three quarters and leave the fourth quarter for recursion (I'll call it x1). That gives you 3(1/4) + x1 = 1
  • now you take x1 and do the same with it. This time, the area of each sub-quarter is 1/16 ( = 1/2^(2*2)). Three such sub-quarters and a leftover x2 gives you 3(1/16) + x2 = x1. Put this back into the first equation to get 3(1/4 + 1/16) + x2 = 1.
  • repeat until infinity; each time the area of the resulting tile is 1/4 of the previous tile (which is the 2n in the exponent part)

Edit: imma remove all markdown since it doesn't seem to work, at least on liftoff. Enjoy the lisp-like mess

I've been following this community for some time in order to learn about self-hosting and, while I have learnt about a bunch of cool web services to host, I'm still lost on where/how to start. Does anyone have, like, a very beginner guide that is not just "install this distro and click these buttons"? I have an old laptop that runs Arch (btw), but I'm not familiar with networking at all. So anything starting from "you can check your IP address using ip a" would be appreciated.

More specifically, I have a domain that I want to point to an old laptop of mine (I intend to switch to a VPS if/when I feel like the laptop is starting to lose it). How do I expose my laptop to the internet for this to work (ideally without touching my router, because I'll be traveling quite a bit with my laptop and don't mind the occasional downtime). I assume that once I'm able to type my domain name on my mobile and see it open anything from my laptop, I can then setup all the services I want via nginx, but that's step 2. I tried to follow a few online guides but, like I mentioned, they're either too simplistic (no I don't want to move to Ubuntu Server just for this) or too complex (no I don't know how DHCP works).

Thanks in advance

I only saw the app once while scrolling around on f-droid; tried it but it seemed too empty to be useful. The only place I've since seen it even being mentioned is this post, but that's also not specifically about the app. I'm genuinely curious about what exactly the point is of GNU/Jami. Is it just a p2p version of calling and messaging?

For those who don't know, adrak = ginger and elaichi = cardamom in hindi (just to point out how smart the abbreviation is)

Apparently there's a bunch of such channels that have all their content generated by bots: not just the title, but the footages and voiceover as well. They're all clickbaits with content ranging from simple word salad to blatant misinformation. Kyle Hill made a video about it where he tried to find who was/were behind these channels (spoiler alert: he tried to report the channels to youtube and got his own video striked in return)
