#DearLazyWeb: A while back someone posted a screen cap of Google getting confused between Voyager's "The Doctor" and "Doctor Who."

I'm writing something up about LLMs and I'd really like to reference it. I'm gonna go through my boosts and hope I can find it, but could anyone with it handy save me a few hours of data spelunking?

Edit: @franklinlopez found it. Awesome. lol!

I'm thinking of maybe purchasing a #3dprinter in the next month or two.

My absolute requirements are that *using* the printer should require 0 proprietary software. That is, the minimum level of openness is like a postscript laser printer.

I want something that can print stuff like around a cubic foot/30cm3

Maybe with two different filaments? So I can have a different support material spooled in? Maybe a heated chamber? I dunno if that's really necessary.

#DearLazyWeb,

Are there any #Tor or #BrowserFingerprinting or traffic fingerprinting people in my wider network that have read the #MaybeNot paper?

How do these defenses relate to the work that Tor itself does to protect from traffic analysis? Would they be enough to prevent the sort of timing attacks that the wiki describes on the TorPlusVPN page?

Does anyone have more information on the research that that wiki page is referencing?

I am just diving into this topic, so be gentle please.

#DearLazyWeb: As part of #DisasterPreparedness organizing in the past, our group did a table top exercise to identify gaps in our response capabilities. We were fortunate enough to have someone who worked in public health make one and GM it for us.

I found some from FEMA with some quick searching. Assuming a group of 5-10 people organizing for themselves (and maybe folks in their neighborhoods), are there any exercises/table top simulations like these that other folks would recommend?

I'd be especially interested in anything that considers intentional systemic collapse scenarios, like, "Some jackass shuts down the government and refuses to pay SNAP" and other things like "FEMA doesn't come to help because it's been disbanded by ghouls."

#DearLazyWeb: Hey #Nederlanders ik heb en expat vrag over mijn #VvE. Our management company is absolute garbage. Our VVE management company recently scheduled repainting, during winter, with the most incompetent company possible, who did a horrible job, some of which didn't need to be done. Our windows had just been repainted since they were painted before we moved in, so 1/3 of the work they did was unnecessary, and now they look much worse than they did before. I could go on, but generally lots and lots of complaints along with absolutely terrible service.

Our upstairs neighbor (also an owner) also hates them and wants to switch, but a rental company owns the top half of the building and seems to be trying to force us in to staying. Basically, this management company is super cheap and the rental company are absolutely trash absentee leaches. (They *may* also have not been paying their part of the VvE fees for a while, but I'm not totally sure I understood everything.)

Unfortunately, I am way out of my depth and can't seem to get much help from google. Can anyone give me some advice about what to read or who to talk to, or are we actually stuck?

#DearLazyweb: I'm trying to avoid buying anything from the US. What #meshtastic options are available from non-US companies?

Edit: thank you @sebastian, for the answer of "basically all of them." :)

Fellow members of the Emacs Org Mode cult:

Is there a way to toggle visibility of a heading plus the entire subtree underneath it? For example, suppose I have this:

Then I run some magical function (hide-top-level-trees-matching-re ".*Broccoli.*"). Afterwards, although the buffer's text would be unmodified, I would see this...

...and searches, etc, would behave accordingly: if I did an isearch for "Broccoli", I would not find any matches, etc.

I could probably implement this using the excellent hide-lines.el package. But maybe Org Mode offers something like this already? I've been looking around the manual and elsewhere and haven't found it yet, though.
