I agree with you, almost all .NET code I write is within the .NET framework, yet when I look at C# repos, it's disheartening to see so many (new) projects just NuGet this NuGet that.

We have text.json now but I still see people use Newtonsoft JSON.

There's old repo's out there that should be archived and deprecated, yet I see new games use it when the repo is very questionable with automated whitespace or comment commits to keep up the appearance that it is still being maintained[0].

Right now I'm working on a Golang project and the dependency tree is a nightmare to say the least, I hope to be able to rip out the parts I don't need and compile it without the massive bulk that I do not need.

It's very frustrating to want me to trust the author, who trust the author, who trust the author. When I doubt they even audited or looked at what they imported.

This is a great game especially on PC. I don't know if the hidden files are available on mobile, but it was a great dive into hiding data in plain sight, with the game files, from decoding binary hidden in images, to spectrograph QR codes hidden in audio. Friend recommended the game to me and I'll never forgive them, only Monika.

vivid/stasis (gratis VN/rhythm game on Steam) has some cool ARG stuff like this as well. I'd highly recommend it.

I've been running BIND for quite a long time now, and I've been very happy with it, very few issues other than my own folly, since I'm not on a static IP in the past 15 years my IP has changed 4 times (1 time due to a router change, 3 times due to Comcast outages), I didn't catch the last IP swap for over a month.

Which brings me to a rather big gripe about other resolvers not respecting TTL, 70% of https://www.whatsmydns.net/ reported it could not query A names, while 30% were like "Yeah here you go" from their cache.

I fixed the glue and got everything back up, I need to write an automated script to check every day if my IP has changed and alert me to update my glue record at my registar.

I use a lot of mix and match scripts to maintain other aspects like challenges for DNS e.g. Letsencrypt, I'll use their hooks to update my DNS, resign it (DNSSEC), complete the challenge, then cleanup. My more personal domains I don't use DNSSEC so I just skip right ahead.

I quite enjoy handling my own DNS records, BIND has been really good to me and I love their `view "external"` and `view "internal"` scopes so I can give the world my authoritative records, and internally serve my intranet and other services like pihole (which sits behind BIND)

Wow, I hope they continue on with the legacy built. I honestly have never heard of vndb until a few weeks ago. I am a large VN consumer, and when I found the site not only did it hit VN side, but also the aesthetics of a website looking like it was locked in the early 2000s, it made me save a screenshot to remind myself to build out one of my domains to one of my older styles with updated HTML/CSS.

A little later, but I have a key chain from a dealership that has their website advertised on it, they didn't have a domain name so it's advertised as http://123.123.123.123/web.htm

Yeah, I made a website as part of a class at BCIT in 1995 and we just had a raw IP so I was showing people my awesome website on http://142.232.162.27 (actual IP) every chance I got.. for all like, 2-3 some-odd people I knew who had computers and had internet access. Luckily I quickly thereafter got a Geocities site which was just a little easier to remember/share lol

I feel like omitting AMD is relevant here for anyone who doesn't know the acquisition history of ATI, AMD had no involvement with this.

This title breaks my brain, I non-jokingly googled fettuccine to make sure I wasn't losing my mind. English is that hard for CNN?

`Walmart meatball meals may be linked to deadly Listeria outbreak.`

`Meatball meals from Walmart suspected in deadly Listeria outbreak.`

Edit: The craziest part is this has nothing to do with "fettuccine", as per the article:

"The U.S. Agriculture Department issued a public health alert late Thursday for Marketside Linguine with Beef Meatballs & Marinara Sauce sold in refrigerated 12-ounce clear plastic trays."

Was the entire article written by an LLM?

I came to the same conclusion when upgrading from 18650s to 21700s, I spent a long time trying to weed out the poorly binned rewards, and the minefield of lithium batteries. They weren't cheap but have been happy with their performance.

There are a lot of people out there that see 18650 or 21700 and think a lithium ion battery is a lithium ion battery and they're all the same (i.e. trying to pull 20 amps from a 2 amp peak battery). I miss one of the father's of liion battery education, Mooch (from ecigarettes forum) who had a whole methodology of testing, and educating people.

Agreed, I also use ChatGPT now mostly for searches, because it will pick the best sources that are not content farms, so I don't have to look through garbage to get a result. I started doing this about a year ago and was like "Oh, wow. This could disrupt search engines" and refer to it as "Super Google" now. I always have it link me to the source of what I'm looking for so I don't worry about it hallucinating, for common information I'm looking for reputable sources but don't know which `X` source has them for `Y` info.

Pretty trivial, I built a browser scanner for my phone using a QR scanner library[1], while browsers are contemplating adding an API natively.[2] You would just need to use a lookup service for the UPN of the game title.

That looks really cool, and i believe we could do something by trying to match the game title's with our database. Thanks for the heads up!

No offense but it's not the barcode scanning that's the problem for this feature :)
