Loved loved loved that show, a definite must-watch for a young nerd back in the late 80s. Thanks Stewart.


I've been grabbing macOS builds of Chromium from the Playwright project (https://playwright.dev)

The download URL follows this template

    https://playwright.azureedge.net/builds/chromium/{revision}/chromium-mac.zip
To find the current revision, look in

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/playwright/main/packages/playwright-core/browsers.json
Today I'm seeing

    {
      "name": "chromium",
      "revision": "1151",
      "installByDefault": true,
      "browserVersion": "132.0.6834.32"
    },
So I'd grab

    https://playwright.azureedge.net/builds/chromium/1151/chromium-mac.zip
After unzipping, mark the file as runnable with

    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Chromium.app


I got curious as what happened to the other 4. Wikipedia lists them as extrusion presses being scrapped in the 90's and 2021 in Maryland and Torrence CA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Press_Program

I wonder if they wore out?, something better came along?, or just no demand?


They've been maintained, wear parts such as bearings and seals can be replaced. You can keep well-made machinery running almost indefinitely if you take care of it.


Yeah, I was just doing this last week with an old HP Elitedesk 800 G2.

This Youtube really helped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhq0bsWJEOw

I think you're right about the first part...a passkey being tied to a single account on a single site.

But not the second: on Github for example you can have multiple passkeys for the same account.


>But not the second: on Github for example you can have multiple passkeys for the same account.

People mention the "only a single passkey instead of multiple passkeys" issue because they run into some websites such as PayPal that only let you add one passkey. E.g. :

https://old.reddit.com/r/yubikey/comments/14h0d7y/single_key...

https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Managing-Account-Archive...


But not the same ssh key on multiple accounts.

Yes, absolutely this for the content-side.

Especially in the tech world, it would make sense for r/php to be hosted and run by the offical php.net guys, r/laravel by the laravel.com crew, r/vuejs by ... (you get it).

However it'd be hard for the subreddit hosters to manage which user-facing instances are allowed to post. If shitposters could just fire up new personal instances every time they were banned, then subreddit hosters would just be playing whack-a-mole and get fed up with it.

They'd almost have to require that users post from instances with good reputations - and now we've just reinvented e-mail's problem of forcing users into using one of the big providers in order to be able to send/post anything.

Too bad we can't have nice things


I thing orgs like that already exist, see: https://ripmedicaldebt.org/ and https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rip-medical-debt-forgiving-medi...


Yes, the have datacenters in Virginia and Oregon - seems to just be AMD servers though (no Intel or ARM).

Been using a couple VPSes in Oregon, pretty happy with them.


I had a huge amount of fun back in those days messing with QuakeWorld and Quake2, learned a ton of stuff.

One project was embedding a Python2 interpeter in QuakeWorld, along with a QuakeC->Python translator. The translator and the resulting Deathmatch and CTF games are here: https://github.com/barryp/qwpython

The other was embedding a JavaVM in Quake2, and instead of trying to translate the C game logic, we recreated the whole thing from scratch in an object-oriented Java fashion: https://github.com/barryp/q2java

Thanks to Carmack for opening up those old engines, that was a real education.
