Ugh, no name security site, paywalled article. Here are the details from Notepad++'s maintainer (https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/security/advisories/GHSA-9vx8-v79m-6m24 ) and the CVE : https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-49144
Seconded! I have several Brother MFCs. Rock solid, great Linux support, rarely change the toner.
That was fascinating. Ditto the link in the post to the article on names, which they cited as inspiration for writing it: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/?ref=flightaware.engineering
I’m unfamiliar with the slang term you used, but I’ll simply say that there is a well-established genre of humorous and perhaps wishful examination of old photographs with the intention of identifying possible time travelers, for example: https://www.pocket-lint.com/photographic-proof-of-time-traveller/ . I don’t endorse this theory, but it was a visual trope that inspired my comment.
LOAD “*”,8,1 . I was there, too shakes cane and ruffles grey hairs (It was a wonderful era. The current generation doesn’t know what they missed.)
That is a stunning photo. I adore the optical illusion, in which the cove appears to be above the level of the ocean. I’d love to see this view first-hand. Bravo!
Early makers! I confess that the 21st century has reprogrammed me, so my initial impression was that the chap in the back was checking his phone. Strange to think that this was taken over a century ago.

Edit: nuked the links, since they also seem to contain per user/session metadata!
I’ve been using Linux since the days of Slackware on floppies, and I still like Mint. It seems to just work – I’m not at all averse to “more hardcore” distributions, but would rather get on with my work. That being said, the Surface kernel is a nice piece of software and worth considering for an optimal experience on Surface.
Definitely doable! I’ve run several Linux distributions on Surface devices. I had good experiences out of the box with Ubuntu and Mint, and not-great experiences with Debian Bookworm (even with the Nvidia driver, it could never seem to work out that the external monitor on my machine was a primary. I did not try the Surface-specific kernel, however. Good luck!
Heh, no, Silicon Valley. Rather surprisingly, internet service was awful here for many years.
In other words, offering tiers of service which are symmetric or close the gap? For what it’s worth, I seem to be a poor technologist, since 5 gigabits/sec is vastly more than I need, but my ISP keeps encouraging me to upgrade to 7 gigabits. It’s nice to know that I could run a skyscraper or a medium sized subdivision if I wanted to, however!
The lack of down/up symmetry (at at 10:1 ratio, no less) is rather gobsmacking in 2025. Even here in SV, where internet service has historically lagged behind the rest of the world, I now have 5 gigabits of symmetric fiber service for a reasonable price.
Or Cabot Cove, which had them almost every week from 1984 to 1996.
What type of error do you receive on mobile?
Oh, lovely. I had no idea this existed, but I’ll try it out. Many thanks!
Thanks for fixing my Lemmy notation!
I am so tired of infantilizing headlines and the proverbial “YouTube thumbnail face”.
It’s hard to see what’s going on here, but you might try using an irrigation tool called a riser or nipple extractor – it’s designed for removing broken plastic risers outdoors, but might work if you can insert it far enough (it’s difficult to tell from your photo if the material in the center is a liquid or a solid). Have a look at https://www.homedepot.com/p/Orbit-1-2-in-and-3-4-in-Plastic-Nipple-Extractor-26076/100203404
Thank you! That was really interesting and well written.
