oof, I felt this one.

you can change the tld of any archive.today link if .today doesn't work. for example archive.ph, archive.is, archive.md, etc

There's a DNS issue between Archive Today and some ISPs which causes their domains not to resolve properly, which is why some people have a lot of trouble using it.

Its not "a DNS issue" they are banned in many countries and there are ongoing court cases, so various enforcement mechanisms are used.

There are also, separately, DNS issues that Archive.today chooses to block certain providers from. For instance: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828317

can look for macos downloader scripts in github. I noticed the readme here shares some URLs though I'm not sure if they still work https://github.com/Comp-Labs/Download-macOS

https://github.com/chris1111/Download_Install_macOS could also be another option.

I know I used one of the macos downloaders from github before, I just forget which one though.

Thanks!

A spoiled vote is at least better than not voting at all.

Because now that means there's an indication of what percentage of the populace are saying "These candidates don't qualify for my vote"

you don't understand what self-hosting means. self-hosting means the site is still up when AWS and Cloudflare go down.

because he's unable to self-host git anymore because AI bots are hammering it to submit PRs.

self-hosting was originally a "right" we had upon gaining access to the internet in the 90s, it was the main point of the hyper text transfer protocol.

Also converting the blog from something dynamic to a static site generator. I made the same switch partly for ease of maintenance, but a side benefit is it's more resilient to this horrible modern era of scrapers far outnumbering legitimate traffic.

It's painful to have your site offline because a scraper has channeled itself 17,000 layers deep through tag links (which are set to nofollow, and ignored in robots.txt, but the scraper doesn't care). And it's especially annoying when that happens on a daily basis.

Not everyone wants to put their site behind Cloudflare.

sorry if i missed it, but the original post doesn't say anything about PRs... the bots only seem to be scraping the content

oh you're right, I read "pointless requests" as "PRs", oops!

I feel like for this reason we should be focused on colonizing asteroids rather than the moon or mars. We can do various tricks to get artificial gravity via centrifugal force. For example if the asteroid is solid enough, we can consider putting it into a spin. If it's not solid enough, we can consider laying a track around the circumference and/or boring a tunnel around the circumference and essentially having the habitat(s) constantly rotating around the asteroid.

most pipe-friendly commands check if stdout is attached to tty or not, and if not, they drop the extra color/formatting. so grep --color=auto shouldn't output color during pipes.

Haha, I actually assumed you were making a joke from the beginning, it'd be funny to think that the habit of using comma prefixed commands will make someone more likely to use commas in their sentences.

Odd Lots is a podcast hosted at Bloomberg, and so the discord is about analyzing market crazes and important economic trends.

This explains why the book recommendations appear to be heavily focused on understanding history and economics at a deep level.

That makes more sense. I was thinking about the big box discount store Big Lots and my first thought was "they have a Discord?" followed by "they talk about books!?!".

Yes I was hoping this was the case!

Interesting, that Superman Red Son is there, but I was not able to locate Orwell's Animal Farm?

I wonder what Solvej Balle is doing in there then ...
