Coyote Linux, maybe? I used it at home in the beginning of the 2000s.


There's a famous single floppy router distribution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Router_Project

LGR has a video on a PC-based appliance (a wireless access point) where the "firmware" source was a walled-off 3.5" drive with a floppy inside. That one ran DR-DOS however: https://youtu.be/DOkapxbW93g


I believe that was it but Coyote Linux sounds familiar too. I think it perhaps used that distribution.


Unfortunately, I don’t see Reddit going back on this. Unfortunately, I don’t think Reddit will die because of this. They are bigger than this, and the community will just migrate from the people who are affected by this decision to those who are not. Just as it happened with every controversial decision reddit took in the last decade. From migrating from links only to allow commenting, migrating from unobtrusive and static ads only, to incorporating in line ads, from the various different views on speech to the decisions regarding site moderation and administration (different from the other examples, this one I agree with), to the redesign and so on. The site simply drifted to a different steady state of users and communities, and I guess this will also happen here.


I'm not so sure, there's a base of Reddit users who submit 80 percent of content and comments and do the moderation, this is maybe 10 percent of the entire user base. If they lost this base the quality of content would plunge and people would start getting board and look for something better.


Hey, great idea! I have always wanted to start playing, but I don't know anyone interested in DnD. Having some GMs willing to introduce new players to the game is fantastic!

There are some comments here suggesting that the service might not make much sense since it should be easy to find someone willing to be a GM in a group of friends. I just wanted to say that that is not always the case :)


I was diagnosed with prediabetes and hepatic steatosis 8 months ago. As per my doctor's recomendation, I followed by 3 months a ketogenic diet combined to a time restricted kind of intermittent fasting, which basically means that I started to skip breakfast. My glycose and insulin levels normalized and the liver fat went away.

I can't pinpoint which factor contributed the most, but I continue to do intermittent fasting skipping breakfasts. When I feel like it, I try to fast for 24h, usually 2 to 3 times a month. It really isn't that difficult, it just takes discipline and focus.

Regarding your advice, I'd like to add just a point: drink more water, true, but also try to increase your salt intake. It seems to make a lot of difference in the beginning, alleviating possible side effects.


I've never eaten breakfast, even when I was a child. Just not something my family has ever done. I somewhat often accidentally forget to eat for 24 hours. I wonder why I find this comparatively easy compared to what others have expressed?


Great to hear you had good results!!


"A malicious DNS server can exploit this by responding with a specially crafted TCP payload to trick systemd-resolved in to allocating a buffer that's too small, and subsequently write arbitrary data beyond the end of it."

When your program doesn't handle a malformed input, and this leads to a buffer overflow, it's your fault. When this program is something as important as systemd, the problem is even worse.


Capitalism implies economic agents that follow fair rules. What this ruling shows is that EU haven't forgot what capitalism is all about.


Hmm. The rules are a tad arbitrary. This would be entirely allowed if less people used Google search relative to its competitors.

Note, it's not illegal per se. It's not illegal because of a de jure monopoly. It's not even illegal because of the number of users they have. It's illegal because Bing, Yahoo et al are not as relatively successful.

It was the same with browsers. Microsoft were hit for bundling. Apple haven't been though they've done identically the same thing. Why? Because enough people bought Android phones in the EU.

I do find it dubious that, effectively, the primary criteria for illegality is not what the defendant did but what some other actors didn't do. Seems wrong to me.


The primary criteria is the damage it causes to society, there is absolutely nothing arbitrary about it. It just so happens that if you are not a (quasi-)monopoly, you just cannot cause the kind of damage a monopoly can, no matter how hard you try, and if you don't cause any damage, you won't be fined.


I think the GP is complaining about how the rules are structured so that you can never win.

And it's true - they are. By design.


Are you honestly implying that google, a multi billion dollar corporation hasn't 'won'?


Winning would be if they were allowed to use their dominant market position to full, unrestricted extent.


which is something you do not want for the general wellbeing of your population or the continuation of your state.

Also, Many people here seem to forget that we do not, in fact, live in a completely laissez-faire capitalistic society for good reason. Especially compared to the US, the countries in the EU do not view unfetered capitalism as a 'good and just' thing.


Even though a little late to the party, I just wanted to give my vote to the best Windows music client I know, XMPlay [0], which, with a minimalist skin [1], for me is unbeatable. Does anyone else use it?

Yeah, for... I don't even know for how long. Probably at least 17 years.


I use it since 2005


> Paying Gmail users never received the email-scanning ads like the free version of the program, but some business customers were confused by the distinction and its privacy implications, said Diane Greene, Google’s senior vice president of cloud.

Google doesn't read e-mails from GSuite. So the change is to stop reading from Gmail's free accounts.


I understand that naming the US as America can bother some people, specially in countries where it is taught that America is a continent (like here in Brazil and in some places in Europe, from what I've heard), but I can't see how this point brings anything useful to this conversation. Anyway, it is just a naming convention that is taught differently in diferent places, why should it matter?
