I'm a little disappointed there's no standard for /.well-known/list that points to things made available under /.well-known/ on that domain.

Doesn't need to be everything, just ones you want discoverable. Only other way to do it is trying every one you know.


Good idea actually. You could just make /.well-known an index page

WPS is a thing that's exactly what you describe. People suggest disabling it these days because tools like reaver can use it to access a network in a few minutes.

QR codes with wifi details kind of obsoleted it in the past few years. (last three routers I've gotten even came with stickers with the default password as a qr code)

What I'm disappointed by is the lack of adoption of wifi standards that are encrypted, but don't require authentication to join. It's always a choice between no encryption, or password+encryption on hardware I've encountered.


Is it really hydrogen energy if your plan for the hydrogen gas is turning it into ammonia?

Would give you another use for it, I suppose.


There were plans to build a hydrogen plant near Whyalla in South Australia, a famous steel-making site; see e.g. [1]. The tl;dr uses were export (I expected ammonia but the whole thing was vague enough to include hydrogen) on boats, reduction of iron ore ("decarbonisation", apparently requires magnetite) and while all the financial engineering that didn't happen was going to happen, energy storage for the grid, soaking up S.A.'s over-abundant solar.

Someone observed that this was the entirety of the presently-outgoing (but sure to be re-elected) state regime's story about reducing electricity bills in the state.

Seems like a missed opportunity to not put a /satellite/satproto.json file on that site.

Speculation I've seen is that whatever LLM they're reselling has this requirement itself and they need to pass it along.

I had expected this to be about their multi-user editing and chat features.


I've gotten in the habit of giving times in UTC explicitly when talking to people in other timezones. Even if I give a time in another specific timezone. (All of my computers get a world clock with a few locations and UTC)

A friend of mine works in a company with employees all over the world for 24hr coverage with handoff meetings where shifts overlap, seeing them do it for call times sold me on the idea.


It's still possible for the world to adopt something like Swatch Internet Time for coordinating across timezones/"without" timezones. Possible, but probably unlikely.

Standard time in Ireland is UTC+1 (IST: Irish standard time). We have daylight saving time in the winter (now) where we subtract an hour and align with UTC+0. Only country in the world to do this, for historical reasons.

You can read about the reasoning/history in the information section of the tzdata database, or on wikipedia.


The counter-notice requires you to provide your details to the filer.

The process is often abused just to gain this information, with the complainant dropping the whole thing after receiving these details.


> The counter-notice requires you to provide your details to the filer.

I didn't have to do this when I received a bogus takedown notice for a YouTube video.

But I'm not in the US and I don't know if YouTube's process varies by jurisdiction.


Youtube's takedown process isn't actually a DMCA takedown.

Yes they are. There is case law about this.

You may be thinking of defamation or fraud, both of which require more than lying.


That URL gives me a 418 I'm a teapot error with no body. I'm guessing they don't like my VPN.
