Black women say an Amtrak project threatens their Baltimore neighborhood’s homes — and children
  • I doubt it’s /just/ smoke ventilation. Sure, it’s primarily there for fire safety.

    But it probably provides ambient ventilation for the tunnel too. Tunnels with trains get hot. Most things, living or inanimate don’t like heat.

    And if it’s always ventilating, it’s also might be expelling brake and metal dust from passing trains.

    But all speculation. I’m not a train engineer, so I’m probably wrong.

  • Removed
    Everything old is new again.
  • Not entirely true.

    In some countries (UK, NZ) Uber has to give you the price of the journey up front. Whereas taxis are metered and do not.

    Uber UK has competition in thin regard with Minicabs, but the minicab apps are still shit.

    Capped costs for consumers is a competitive advantage over taxis, and Uber has managed to find the sweet spot between hailing a taxi, and booking a minicab.

  • Interesting OSS project: Holesail creates instant P2P tunnels between networks (like a VPN)
  • Because you’re only ‘exposing’ the port on the peer to peer network.

    You “publish” a port to holesail, then clients have to create a local proxy via holesail before they can access it.

    I agree, It’s a dumb pointless claim. But I don’t think it’s misleading.

    It looks like holesail is just tailscale, but on a much smaller scale. It’s not networks, it’s just ports.

  • Is there a simple way to severly impede webscraping and LLM data collection of my website?
  • Put each character in a spans with random classes, intersperse other random characters all over the place also with random classes, then make the unwanted characters hidden.

    Bonus points if you use css to shuffle the order of letters too.

    Accessibility? Pffffft.

  • It's easier to remember the IPs of good DNSes, too.
  • Could a hypothetical attacker not just get you to visit a webpage, or an image embedded in another, or even a speculatively loaded URL by your browser. Then from the v6 address of the connection, directly attack that address hoping for a misconfiguration of your router (which is probable, as most of them are in the dumbest ways)

    Vs v4, where the attacker just sees either your routers IP address (and then has to hope the router has a vulnerability or a port forward) or increasingly gets the IP address of the CGNAT block which might have another 1000 routers behind it.

    Unless you’re aggressively rotating through your v6 address space, you’ve now given advertisers and data brokers a pretty accurate unique identifier of you. A much more prevalent “attack” vector.

  • This union was not meant to be.
  • I would like TVs to offer a custom scale. Where the minimum and maximum values are reasonable, but the numbers are proportionate.

    Legally mandated support for:

    • Odds only
    • evens only
    • primes only
    • Gould’s sequence (too quiet? You’ll double the volume at some point)
    • Bernoulli Numbers (too noisy outside, the TV will make it quiet)
  • Canada’s rich getting richer, StatCan report finds, with 90% of Canadian wealth now in the hands of homeowners
  • It’s a poorly worded article that (intentionally or not) ends up sowing resentment between the have nots, and have nots with a family home. (As opposed the haves, with a rental portfolio, holiday home overseas, trust funds, etc)

    Makes the boogeyman the people that are seen, the peers in (relative) poverty. While the actual boogeyman can hide away out of sight. Be it overseas land barons, corporate landlords, or just straight up wealthy living in their large secluded properties.

  • Dinner time!
  • Nah we want you to start all your fucking about, get any beverage or condiments you might want, wash your hands, and have everyone at the table ready to eat when the food is ready.

    And subsequently, not get any criticism while we’ve finished our meal and you’ve just sat down because you had to go to the garage to get a new bottle of OJ, pee that became a poop, wash your hands, and find the sauce you’ve suddenly decided to dig out from the back of the pantry.

  • Minecraft players outraged as Microsoft deletes accounts that weren't transitioned
  • I bought Minecraft when it was first purchaseable. Only converted my account last month as my new-school-entrant kid has asked what it is.

    And honestly, I wish I didn’t. The MS launcher is an absolute shit show in usability for adults, let alone kids. Next time it forces me to log back in I’m just pirating it.

    I bought two copies, I’ll fucking run them how I please.
