Although Stargate SG-1 (1997) was filmed in 16:9 from the outset, earlier seasons were broadcast in 4:3.


I tried to use Iroh but had a few problems.

It uses a third server to facilitate initial p2p connections but I keep loosing/fail to connect to this server. I don't know if it's because of many restarts during development or something else.

Windows Defender nukes this from orbit, making it nearly impossible to ship to clients in a trusting fashion. But I guess any program which punches through the firewall is suspect.


Windows Defender is an interesting challenge. It would be interesting to know if signing the executable has a positive effect here. At $previouscompany we had a software that looked very keylogger-like, and all our Windows Defender issues vanished once we started using EV codesigning certificates. They are not cheap ($300/year), but Defender seems to take the fact that the code is bound to a verified legal entity as a strong trust signal


That's interesting, because the connection to the relay server is established using HTTP1.1 over TLS. Followed by a WebSocket upgrade. It should look like any other webserver connection on the internet. Could be worth investigating your network conditions and filing an issue for this.


Most Germans would view that as a positive thing. Pushing for nuclear power at this point would be utterly stupid.


lol


Nobody is building commercial plants any time soon; it's still in the experimental phase, with new discoveries happening almost every month.

I see it similarly to the difference between a car with a combustion engine and an electric one. Combustion engines are fully developed. We're reaching the maximum possible performance and utilisation. It's a dead end. However, with electric cars, for example, new battery development is far from over. E.g sodium batteries.

And just off the top of my head, in fusion, the discovery of better electromagnets, as happened a while back, can quadruple energy output.It's not a dead end, and writing it off would be short-sighted.


They are building a commercial plant right now, and it will come online in the next 10 years. https://news.mit.edu/2024/commonwealth-fusion-systems-unveil...


Unless I missed something they haven’t even completed their technology demonstrator (planned for 2026). No construction has taken place in 2025.


I hate it so much. Every time I read it, all I can think is "that's a typo."


If I remember correctly it actually is a typo. Someone typed "verloren" wrong and thought it was a good name for the game. The story behind names is often not so glamorous.


I kinda hate many current game names, I prefer this. Otherwise, making a current_year name is easy: noun adjective: noun. How about "Dark Kingdom: Multitude"?


*adjective noun: adjective, obviously

The first two usually make some sense together, the third one is where it gets creative / random.


I didn't even spot the missing "r" until I read this comment. Now I feel you.



Second Tuta. Their feature list might be limited when compared to Proton or Fastmail, but their core email service is solid.


It's an alternative to Proton because it doesn't support open standards (like IMAP), but it has the same problem - vendor lock-in.



Ah yes, let's solely blame the party for the shut down the previous government ordered.


The shut down was decided on in 2000 under Schröder's Red-Green government. All following decision where just on how fast the shutdown had to happen.


I think CogVLM2 is even better than Intern at OCR (my usecase is extracting information from an invoice)


After some superficial testing I with bad quality scans you can find on kaggle I can not confirm that. CogVLM2 refuses to handle scans that InternVL-V1.5 still can comprehend.
