Because famously fascist dictatorships never dream up new targets whenever the old one runs out.

What I meant to ask was if there was any historical evidence of a violent rebel group actually giving up power when they win.

But you did respond to what I literally asked with evidence, so hard to argue with that.

Which "once in a lifetime" market crash is your favorite so far?

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher 6 points 1 day ago

We didn't already know that? Also could be syphillis.

Saddam Hussein in his hiding spot.

Fair enough. I just don't know of a case where a violent rebel group took over a government/land and then immediately dissolved.

I believe if Palestine was granted statehood and equal rights, Hamas would cease operating.

Do you have evidence to support that hypothesis?

Elemental, my dear Watson

Wonder what the percentage is on that.

I don't know why all of that information isn't just public to begin with.

We lost something big with the transition to digital, and that's DIY hardware built entirely from discrete components.

Nowadays, everything uses a microcontroller.

Better yet, mirror the Internet Archive, Anna's Archive, and sci-hub.

That takes a rediculous amount of storage, though.

Wonder if there's some kind of P2P backup a la IPFS

Threads federation? (self.sdfpubnix)

What is SDF's opinion on pre-emptive deferation with Threads?

I know SDF Chatter hasn't defedded with any instance, but there is a serious risk of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish if we federate with Threads.

 

Could be TV, Movies, Video games, etc.

 

Looking for a DP to HDMI 2.1 that supports 4k120 with Freesync and the various HDR standards. Saw the PS196 was announced some while back, but can't find any converters that implement it.

Anyone know where I can find a converter, or even just the chip itself so I can build my own?

Basically what the title says. I've only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.

Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I'm going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!

I have an OG Model F (pre IBM XT, but the same standard) and used to have a Pro Micro-based Soarer's converter before it died on me.

I'm looking for a replacement that can be both wired (either USB, PS/2, or AT) and wireless (either Bluetooth or via dongle). Soarer-style macros would be a nice-to-have, especially for the missing F11, F12, and Meta keys.

Does anything like that exist?

 

Was wondering if anyone had experience with Frankensteining together different parts from different controllers, and how I could go about it cleanly.

I'm looking to have some kind of modern controller (preferably a DualSense), but with an actually good DPad, specifically the Sega Saturn Mk2 controller. Wondering if I should bother with trying to modify the shell, or if I should just custom design a new shell to fit the DPad. I feel like 3D printing would result in much lower quality compared to injection molded plastic, so not 100% sure about that idea.

Been looking for a search engine that isn't plauged with SEO garbage every time I look for anything. Been using DDG for quite a long time now, and I'm starting to get dissatisfied with results. It seems like more and more results are just companies trying to make their way to the top of the search results instead of anything organic. It's even worse when I look for any kind of service or product.

Looking for as close to 100% organic results as possible.

I've been using Real Debrid for about a year now, but there're a couple of things making me want to switch.

I like to share my account with a couple of friends. Real Debrid gave me a warning about banning my account if I use it concurrently with someone else.

Real Debrid no longer accepts emails from AnonAddy or Tutanota. I would much rather not have to give out any real contact info.

Looking for a comparable service that caches torrents from anyome who downloads it and provides a link premiumizing service. I would also like to be able to give out direct links for the purposes of using Syncplay.

Whatever I use must be compatible with Torrentio inside of Stremio.
