I remember playing GTA I with a 3DFX card. Man that was smooth. When I later played at a friends house, I was disappointed about how choppy it was.

I hope so. The other books have been great fun to read, with the detour of CP-SYSTEM as a nice surprise.

> Without DNS, you'd need to memorize IP addresses for every website.

This used to be true until virtual hosting came along, allowing for several domains to point to the same IP address, but only for non-HTTPS traffic. Then a bit later we got SNI (Server Name Indication) that did the same thing for HTTPS.

I remember having web servers with 10-12 public IP adresses when I started working. The number of IPv4 addresses needed has been greatly reduced since.

You'd still need to memorize the IP address without DNS, otherwise how would you know to which server to connect?

The fact that a server can serve multiple vhosts and do TLS cert selection via SNI is not related to the lookup of what server to connect to.

You'd still need to send a Host header for the website you want and you can't do that in the address bar.

Just connect to cloudflare /s

I started using the Berluti knot last year, and it has never failed me. It takes a bit longer to tie, but it has never failed me. It is also easy to get undone without making another knot out of itself.

The Secure variant seems to be a slightly easier/quicker knot. I might give it a try. :)

I have a plan of making it a "proper" webpage with more sub-pages for hobbies and such. But right now its a 90's style page with some info and a lot of links.

I read this as an ownership issue, where Meta owns your content as long as you post on Facebook or Instagram, and has nothing to do with LLMs.

Meta and all the other AI companies think they own it even when it’s on your site.

I have a Roborock S5, and when I don't use the mop, I just remove the mop AND the water tank. And without the water tank it never gets stuck in doors.

it feels like getting instead of pickup track minivan, removing 2 rear seating rows and then chopping off parts of roof and doors

I quit my 50% discount after realizing that if I don't watch it anyways.

Funny thing though. When I cancelled my subscription, they offered me 50% off for a month or something like that.

Still have the original Xbox, working like a charm. Not sure which version of XBMC it has, but the internal disk is full of old series and movies.

Still has a share on my computer mapped up, but the original Xbox can't keep up with the big files.
