With the rise of the geographically partitioned Splinternet, how do the modern search engines typically “know” which content to segment to the which geographies?

Scoring factors come to mind, but they aren’t great:

* Content Language
* TLD
* Geofencing
* Proprietary Training Model (Content Contextual)

Has this been formally disclosed or rigorously analyzed?

Wo bestellt man am besten (und halbwegs günstig) robuste Aufkleber (vornehmlich für den Geigenkasten) mit eigenem Motiv zum Online-Drucken?

Ich denke an so 5 Motive mit je 50 Exemplaren, alle rund, Durchmesser 10 cm. Ihr macht doch ständig sowas! Muss man mit mehr als 10 Cent pro Stück rechnen?

Wondering what percentage of legitimate websites are using LetsEncrypt - guessing it will be quite significant, but do anyone have any pre-processed figures.

Wouldn't you actually blend in more these days using a letsencrypt cert? (for Red Teaming)

Do any of y’all have connections with someone who does physical media archiving for the Internet Archive?

Dear #LazyFediverse,

How usable is Google Fi with an iOS device? Are the features lost in any way significant, or is it more cosmetic? Should one just transition to dedicated carrier?

Asking because a relative who is a Fi user finally decided to call it quits with Android after many spurious hardware failures and software regressions (e.g., phone silencing most notifications without a hardware button and no software setting appearing to be responsible — while being primary caregiver oncall).

Hey, standalone #Nix crowd!

I'm searching for a #HomeManager config which enables LSP and installs minimal plugins for #NeoVIM.

I thought I got it, but sadly my config seems to be broken and after a couple of evenings of debugging, I gave up.

Here is my futile attempt: https://github.com/cognivore/hmm/blob/main/neovim.nix

I have searched #Github for a working config, but I failed to find one that just works for me.

Dear Lazy Fediverse,

are there any types of sunscreen that are particularly well-suited for the head and neck? I am very specifically thinking in terms of minimizing perspiration, maximizing breathability, and shedding heat? I could accept one class for everyday and another for with water.

It seems that nothing I use these days can do this. The sunscreen makes ambient air temperature+direct/incident sunlight feel 3–5ºC warmer than it would without the sunscreen. What gives?

Dear #LazyFediverse,

Several decades ago, a professor in the social sciences introduced me to a term I have forgotten in the interim. Can you help me remember it?

It's used to describe organizations and org. units that outlive their usefulness and sometimes become parasitic to the problem they are chartered to solve — sometimes inadvertently or intentionally perpetuating the problem.

Any idea what this is called? I saw the Shirky Principle referenced recently, but I think this one is older.
