Apparently there are ongoing hostilities between the archive.* websites (archive.today, archive.is, archive.ph, etc.) and Cloudflare. Try changing your device's DNS settings to something other than Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) to access the archive.* website. For example, Google's DNS is at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 . If your browser has DNS-over-HTTPS enabled, add an exception for the archive.* sites. (I believe Firefox has it on by default and I had to add exceptions for three or four of the archive.* sites to be able to use them).
The twitch right as you are falling asleep is known as a hypnic jerk. The flash of light may be related to exploding head syndrome. The faint "music" could be tinnitus, some electric device (speakers, guitar amp, etc.) picking up an AM or shortwave radio station, or just your brain making up (or playing back) music as you drift off to sleep.
Hypnic jerk is my thing, and im male - and have all the halmarks such as chronic insomnia, but just started melatonin.
But wow - yeah it scares the heck out of me, yet the wiki says "benign" so that is thankful...
A morbid dark, intrusive thought that has happened to me when these occur is that my heart stopped due to sleep apnia and that I was startling myself back alive...
however these occur even when I am not yet asleep and in twilight mode.

SIDS ;;
This reminds me of what the believe the cause of SIDS to be: a pocket of co2 around the infants breathing-bubble where they are just recirculating the CO2.
So, I wonder if the infants dont yet have the ability to startle themselves back awake... but adults do.
I have had two people close to me who have had SDIS babies, and its horrifying.
Well, fine, but from the developer's point of view dealing with obsolete versions is a nightmare. It's bearable if the software is offline only, but most isn't.
For businesses the two are rarely mutually exclusive depending. It’s obviously a little different for your personal life, because you’re going to have to spend resources to “self-host” but for a business those resources aren’t going to be too different from buying “classic” software.
What we often do is to buy development, rather than buying a SaaS product. With the right setup, and this is easy to do with OSS as well, you can buy the development as needed from any of the software houses which specialise in this. You can then run things yourself, or buy the maintenance as well. This lets you control what happens with the software on the server and the server itself, and it’s frankly often a cheaper option than buying a SaaS solution for things that are vital to your business. At least in the long run. That being said, even with SaaS solutions you’re rarely at the “whims” or somebody and their server in enterprise SaaS solutions. I think Figma might be the only service we use where we’re at the “whims” of change that we aren’t able to control, and we do use quite a lot of SaaS software for things that are “less” important to us.
As a private user you’re right though. You won’t be able to do those things. But the flip side is that you’re probably not going to find a lot of non web-solutions that don’t sort of work similar. Even with something like an e-mail client, you’re going to see updates, and you’re not going to be able to influence them anymore with a local program than you are with a web-based program. I guess you can continue to use an old version of something, but what then you’re using unsupported software, and eventually, you risk that it might not even run on your Operating System without massive amounts of efforts. Like, I have X-Com: Enemy Unknown on 3 floppy disks, even if I had something that could read floppy disks, I’m not sure how I’d even install it on windows 11 or my Mac.
That has as a prerequisite that the software is available as OSS. Compare Figma with OSS. Why would anyone in their right mind not go the Figma way, if they actually have to offer something valuable?
I agree with what you're saying, but I meant more if the developers opened up an API a bit too much. They can close that up and make their client software more stable.
You can easily package your webapp with an integrated server or electron, if you don't want to provide a server. Or simply put it on the source code platform of your choice and let users figure out hosting on their own.
Plus, you get all of that for (basically) free, at the same time with hardly any extra effort! The web really is the most versatile of platforms.
I believe the rule is not to play until clicked, for videos with sound. However, for videos that don't have sound, they are allowed to play at page-load. Also, due to this functionality, sites now have a sound-less video first play and then switch to a version with sound (faking "un-muting") when clicked. This does have the nice side-effect of eliminating those really annoying ads that used to play at full blast whenever I forgot to mute my laptop's sound. (Nonetheless, I still reflexively turn my laptop's speakers down to 5% when I am not using them after getting burned so many times in public.)
Note: This article is not about running Mac Classic directly on the Wii (e.g., with modified drivers). Instead, Linux is used to run a program called Mac-on-Linux (https://www.maconlinux.net) that takes care of the hardware interfacing problem while utilizing the Wii's PowerPC CPU natively, as it is very similar to a Mac G3 series CPU. Still, it is an interesting accomplishment.
I should have been clearer. HP's mainstream business laptops never had the middle mouse button whilst their workstation laptops (such as your 8560W) have always had them.
While not explicitly written as such, this looks like a great how-to for Rust cross-compilation. Judging by the styling of the article, it was written in Markdown, correct? Also. bearing in mind the guide above, how hard is setting up Rust cross-compilation and am I better off compiling code directly on a Raspberry Pi 4 as opposed to doing so on a x86_64 machine for the rPi4?
Congratulations on finding a menu item that I had no idea even existed. I don't know how it is possible, but I am pretty sure I have never seen that menu item before. I will be trying this out on various web sites now. Thanks!
How about the https://www.espressif.com/en/news/ESP32_C3 ? Not sure if it supports USB or Ethernet (IIRC previous versions supported ethernet and also USB to some extent). This would be less powerful than a rPi, but on the up-side is available right now on Amazon for about $20 with good support.
