  • I have only watched about 3 seasons of the boys (and read the entire comic) and I think the show is better than the comic.

    The story is very different, and for the better. In the comic, the protagonist is always Hughie, but the main focus of the story is Butch and how he kind of "shapes" Hughie. Home Lander and the seven are a lot more of a plot device than anything else and three of the seven almost never do anything, this is because the real villain is the concept itself of a company like Vaught. All of this is fine, if that's your cup of tea, my problem is that everything else is kinda just thrown there just to be splattery and outrageous without much rhyme or reason. There's a lot of very dull monothematic characters that appear in their arc and then pop up once in a while.

    In the show every character is a lot more developed, instead of just Hughie and Butch. And their journeys are a lot more intertwined with one another, and the story itself is a lot more complex. I think the worst part of the show is when it tries to wink at the comic fans and it just looks out of place, while swooshing over the head of who didn't read the comic (e.g. "take away that ...😉 Love sausage 😉😉... from me"; "hello ...😉 Vic...toria 😉😉")

  • Easy way to remember the OSI model

    Jump

  • ISO/OSI is a neatly separated model mostly used on theory.

    In practice, actual network stacks are often modeled after a simpler model that is called TCP/IP. Which despite the name is not actually TCP specific.

    Here's the general description and correspondence to ISO/OSI:

    1. Host to network / network access layer: it's mostly the nic and nic driver. It's sometimes numbered as 0 because some don't consider it part of the TCP/IP stack, but simply the nic driver. Corresponds to:
      1. Physical
      2. Datalink
    2. Network layer: Corresponds to:
      1. Network
    3. Transport layer: Corresponds to:
      1. Transport
    4. Application layer: everything that's part of the application and not the network stack. Corresponds to:
      1. Session
      2. Presentation
      3. Application

    Or, you can just not care about how the actual software stack is separated, and continue to use the most complete model, knowing that everyone will understand what you when you say "layer 2/3/4" anyway.

    Plus, some could say that the TCP/IP model is equally unfit because the Linux network subsystem doesn't care about layers.

    Edit: I hope the formatting of that table isn't broken on your client, because it is on mine

  • This was my favourite author in high school. He wrote this stuff in the early 1900 but it's still so relatable for modern readers. I highly recommend "il fu Mattia Pascal" (the late Mattia Pascal) and a little less recommended "uno, nessuno, centomila" (One, no one, and one hundred thousands).

    https://www.pirandellointranslation.org/someones-laughing this one is also good. It's satire against squadrism. (He "subscribed" to the fascist party due to fear and pressure, so he protested more criptically)

    https://www.pirandellointranslation.org/the-license this one instead is against ostracism and singling out weaker people.

    He also was a pioneer of meta-theater, with works like "sei personaggi in cerca d'autore" (six characters in search of an author).

  • Your intuition is on the right track, but it works "the other way around".

    RGB are additive primary colours, because the colour you see when you look at something that emits light is the actual colour of the light. And so when you mix two coloured lights, the colours add up (additive colours). And adding every colour gives you white.

    CMY are instead subtractive colour, because when you look at something that does not emit light, the colour you see is just the light that bounces off of it, while some colours get absorbed. So when you mix paints, the resulting paint absorbs more colours, and you only see what's left, so the colours subtract down (subtractive colours). And subtracting everything gives you black.

    P.s. mathematically, any three independent colours could be used as primary. Independent means that you can't get any of the three by mixing the other two (i.e. blue, red, and purple are not independent). But those two triplets are the most obvious choices. You might recall that as a kid, they taught you that primary colours were Red, Blue and Yellow instead of CMY, and yet mixing worked fine.

  • Dunno about you, but my opinion has recently helped to successfully repel mass surveillance for my country and others. The fight is not over yet, but this battle was won.

  • Well, I don't use most of their stuff because I mostly run self hosted stuff that either don't need their proxy stuff or violate their content policies (you can't serve movies/video over their proxy, which is reasonable). But if I wanted to I already have all of that at my disposal, without any extra money.

  • I am using my domain. Best 10€ ever spent (maybe after Terraria). For just 10€ I get a .org domain name and all the DNS records I want, and I get pampered by cloudflare all the time...

    "Oh, you want a distributed reverse proxy? You want a dislocated cache? You won't TLS without getting a certificate? Block AI on the proxy? Even more stuff? Well guess what, we already make a bajillion dollars from big tech, so you the little guy can have all of that included in your 10€"

  • Slot Machines vs. Vibe Coding

  • It's an analogy, it must be similar in principle, not in numbers. A subscription to chatgpt also costs less than what gamblers spend in slots. But whatever, I don't care enough to argue much more
