Eric Prydz drops "Call On Me" for the first time in 20 years π€―
What an awesome mashup of Valerie by Steve Winwood, where the sample is taken from, and Call On Me.
18 Rules of Software Engineering.
So it seems #DNS4EU is not that private after all π€

Attached: 1 image π¬π§I can't recommend the EU-funded DNS service #DNS4EU because access is logged. When you override warnings to access "harmful websites" they even log your IP address. https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/the-eu-challenges-google-and-cloudflare-with-its-very-own-dns-resolver-that-can-filter-dangerous-traffic There are government-free services that do not log: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns

Rumour: Google intends to discontinue the Android Open Source Project
With the release of Android 16, Google changed how it developed Android. Development is now taking place behind closed doors, with the code dropped after the corresponding version has been released to Pixel devices. Well, it turns out this wasnβt the only thing Google has changed about Android development.
I always burned at 4x because I was a coward.
I always used to mentally justify it as "if it runs slower, it has more time to think about what it's writing."
@beyondmachines1 I still remember the dream that burning my own audio CDs for the first time was. It felt incredibly futuristic.
Then I was also introduced to the fact that my crappy computer would decide to do something in the background to a degree where the CD burner program was starved of IO or CPU and the CD was wasted, which to today's generation seems like a non-issue.
But it was so incredible to have my own mix CD for car trips without having to skip the bad songs or constantly juggle the CDs. Too bad some car stereos didn't like self burned ones.
@lds Since I was born in late 70s, I'm familiar with C-cassettes, but there was a point where those disappeared from cars and everyone went CD before we had the means to easily make our own.
Practically all my friends' boyfriends at the time were pulling those tape decks out of their 500β¬ salvage yard find cars and replaced them with 1500β¬ CD based sound systems.
@beyondmachines1 I remember writing a cd or dvd with speed 1 as a safeguard because the image was at my apartment and I was at office. I've already forgotten was via it smb, nfs or ssh pipe.
I don't remember using nero ever. Didn't use Windows then, don't use Windows now.
@mijutu @beyondmachines1
I used the software all the time, was very common here. And the full name was clever and memorable: Nero Burning ROM.
as side note, yes I remember the pain. thanks for the traumatic flashback...
@beyondmachines1 I was an early adopter in CD burning when the best you could do was single speed and you couldn't do anything else on the machine for risk of a buffer underrun.
Definitely don't miss those days.
@beyondmachines1 I remember I did take the risk once and loaded a game while it was burning.
Notice I said once.π
@beyondmachines1 Oh, i remember that from the few times I burned CDs
I completely forgot about using CDs as a storage medium. I am sure I have some blank media, but I think I would use those in art projects instead of storing digital data. I still have a couple of different drives, one is even installed, but I doubt I will use them at all. They might see more use as a cupholder! π
I wonder if I have old disks lying about. Probably.
