A true role model.

I’m not completely sure. Sometimes I find stuff in one site I don’t find in any of the other two. Also, I don’t know how often catalogues are synced.

Yes. I combine libgen with Anna’s Archive and Z-Library and there’s very, very little I can’t find.

Combine that with KOReader and this is pure bliss.

I like it a lot, but sometimes I feel he’s going to get eaten alive by the character he’s created. He should tone it down a notch sometimes.

You’re right, I completely misinterpreted the comment. The thing is that “voice” is a very specific term within IRC, and I got confused :D

If you mean that in some channels only some people can actually “talk”, I think it depends on the configuration of the channel, but it’s a possibility.

I thought people used Discord because you could have video / audio chats (not sure about this, I’ve used it very sparsely.)

And then there are Open Source projects that use Discord as the documentation repository. Hell is a place on the Internet, apparently.

IRC still rules. No ads in my irssi.

Damn, I was used to work around shitty stuff on Teams. Are you telling me they’re going to push another, different set of bugs on me now?

What has been your involvement with Reddit as a user so far? I’m trying to understand what users are getting those offers.

Some people have already commented how to find it.

However, on a tangential note: last I heard, they stopped adding new papers due to a trial in India, but I never found out the outcome of that. Anyone has news about this, or did I dream it?

That I don’t know. I store the TOTP keys into an app on my phone an into a separated KeePass DB that’s different from my regular one. Two copies of that is good enough to let me sleep at night.

Wealthsimple and Questrade seem to support TOTP but I’m not sure if you can still bypass it with SMS. I don’t think so but I haven’t dug into it.

Questrade allows TOTP, SMS and some other methods, but you can select which ones you want to enable. I have only TOTP and it works as expected.

You can generate a code grid and remove SMS altogether.

But surely someone must think of the children!

I trust there won’t be a hack and all that will get leaked.

I just spent a while today deleting all my posts and comments. At this point they’ll probably have plenty of copies of it, but at least the content is not up for them anymore.

Just trying to see if I can survive without an account there (the “forum fediverse”, if that makes sense, is getting better and better) and then it’ll go to the same place my Twitter and Facebook handles went a while ago.

I created my account in Spain around 2009, moved to Canada in 2014 and came back to Spain late last year. Never had a problem with this :-?

There was a very nice episode of the Odd Lots podcast about this: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-07/huawei-mate-60-pro-chip-breakthrough-shocks-computing-world?srnd=oddlots

Damn. I knew this was a huge problem in Europe, but I didn’t know this happened in Canada too.

Here’s the Wikipedia article on this type of fraud: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_trader_fraud
