Given how extreme a normal re-entry is in a purpose-built spacecraft I can’t imagine how hardcore you’d have to be to evacuate your ship and fall back to earth in a plastic bag filled with foam

At least YouTube has third party clients with adblocking available

On the other hand the novelty collective nouns are silly and “flock” is pretty widely understood to mean a group of birds

There’s !dataisbeautiful@mander.xyz, !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world, and even !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.ml

Extraordinary!

I miss finding this kind of cool website on something like StumbleUpon back in the day

Interesting, I’ve been wondering how OSM deals with malicious changes

Is nickel not magnetic? I guess the outer cladding must be pretty thin.

It’s not like it gives you questions in a particular order, it just puts a pin on the map everywhere there’s missing information. For instance if your neighbourhood only had house numbers missing then that’s all you’ll see nearby, other places could be completely different.

Prime opportunity for some evangelising!

Definitely ticks the “something interesting to do out on a walk” box that pokémon go did

Street Complete is definitely the gateway drug here, very simple and beginner-friendly way to get started

Any idea how I go about setting up a second sub(?)network? I’ve got a load of old routers but I’ve always assumed they’re too locked down to be of any use.

Alright, alright, I’ll add it to the todo list!

I mean that buying a new device (which I guess I then might have to replace in X years) and configuring it to use openwrt is going to take some time and effort, and ultimately I might end up in a worse situation (than my current “working OK” setup). Maybe if I had infinite time but there’s only so many hours in the day!

I’ve seen it mentioned a lot over the years, ultimately I think I’d just be making a rod for my own back by giving myself another device to support! I have considered it before but I just feel I’m going to spend a load of time tinkering every time I move house or change ISP, and paying for the privilege of buying my own hardware while I’m at it.

Ah, sadly not something mine can do

Yeah, so to reach out does it not need to use DNS to know where it’s reaching out to?

Can you explain this a bit more to a networking beginner?

More reading for me to do then, thanks!
