tl;dr the signal appears to have been from a cold hydrogen cloud "resonating" off of radiation bursts; namely, those emitted by neutron stars. The stronger the burst through the cloud, the louder the signal on equipment. The WOW! signal appears to have been the result of a particularly powerful event, but by observing the same/similar (?) gas cloud(s), they've been able to spot signals with the same signature, albeit weaker due to being hit by less rare (and less powerful) phenomena.

Some clarification might be needed on whether it's a specific cloud that produces this signal, or if any cold hydrogen clouds are capable of it. I couldn't seem to find any in the article itself. Maybe there's something in the published research paper that provides further information.

That's really good to know, and not how I thought the system worked previously. I thought instances were responsible for all vote aggregation and simply reported totals to each other at regular intervals, plus submitting comments/edits from users which are more obviously public

Y'know, that's fair. I think I misspoke, and meant to say that the admins of your instance can see your IP but not the admins of another (assuming you're not self hosting on your home PC without a VPN), but I'm not 100% sure that's true because I've never looked at the protocol.

If every interaction is already public on the backend/API level, then simply not showing the info to users is just a transparency issue.

The more I'm thinking about this, the more I believe it's a cultural/expectations thing. On websites like Tumblr, all of your reblogs and likes are public info, but it's very up front about that. Social media like Facebook, IG, and sites like Discord, it's the same; you can look through the list of everyone who reacted.

Data is not suddenly public just because some people have access to it. Data is public when it's available for anyone to look at. Privacy is almost always going to be a trust issue on some level, and very few things are possible to do truly anonymously. Some data will always be available to someone in a position where it's possible to abuse. Instance admins can see your IP address. Should that be available for everyone to see?

I mean, that's already true and why the federation model is used in the first place. If another instance can't be trusted, you can disconnect your own from it (extremely easy if you self-host, if you are a standard member of a larger instance it might require convincing)

While breeds such as these are a testament to vanity-driven hubris, I think it's a stretch to call this a mundane nail trim.

There's a lot in the article that seems to points towards malpractice (if you can call it that when the profession doesn't require a license in AZ). Their CCTV footage is missing 30 seconds right when the dog died, supposedly for unknown reasons. Also, directly from the article:

Cardenas told investigators that while bathing Walter, he was freaking out. After the bath, she said he threw up food and yellow bile so she placed him in a kennel dryer for 30-45 minutes.

After that, Cardenas said she brought Walter to the grooming table and placed a muzzle on him “to prevent him from biting,” even though Cardenas stated Walter wasn't trying to bite. Cardenas said once on the grooming table, Walter urinated, took two breaths and then died.

Meanwhile, multiple sources on grooming practices warn not to leave dogs in heated kennel dryers for more than 15 minutes. Pawsitivity Pet Spa published an article stating it can be “deadly, especially for dogs that are brachycephalic like bulldogs,” which means they have a short skull making it difficult to breath and hard to cool themselves. Cardenas told investigators the dryers they used blew cool air.

Very impressive clustering, I must say

I will save this image for the very likely situation where someone asks this exact question. Thank you for the suggestion!

I'm pretty sure the traffic for the ads still gets sent to your device over the Internet, it's just that the ad blocker keeps it from rendering in your browser.

 

I use Firefox whenever I can.

On first install of the browser I usually end up following a hardening guide which includes stuff like blocking cross site cookies, setting a few things in about:config to disable Pocket/etc, and installing uBlock Origin. I've taken what I consider a relatively balanced approach, I don't use anything like noScript, uMatrix, etc that ultimately just cost a lot of time fiddling to get the 10th website of the week working.

I've been more or less fine browsing the web this way for years, but around the start of 2024 I've started seeing way more "Access Denied" pages than I used to. I think part of it is Cloudflare or similar, but I don't know exactly what's changed or what's triggering it to occur.

It usually goes away and I can re access the site in 10-30 minutes as usual, but I've had it occur in really weird instances, such as trying to change my Minecraft skin and getting blocked by the website. The server block often goes away immediately if I switch my user agent, so I know that it has something to do with how I've got everything set up.

Not sure what anyone else's experience with this has been. I'd like to hear some of your thoughts and tips

To summarize for anyone who would rather not watch the video, there are always exactly 4 "events" in a wildwood instance. While any specific event is randomly selected, their locations are always around the far North, South, East, and West of the area. If you can find two events, especially if they're perfectly horizontal or vertical from each other, it becomes much easier to find a third and possibly fourth. After you find the first, all you have to do is look for the remaining spots of the 'diamond', following wisp trails to make an educated guess.

I thought this was pretty useful information, especially if you're trying to maximize wisp collection to juice your maps or find more nameless creatures to complete quests.

 

Hi everyone!

I decided to create this sub as an alternative to other Path of Exile discussion boards on Lemmy, since most of them were pretty dead (not that another sub on another instance will fix that, but why not ok?) There was also a weirdly long propagation time for posts of mine to show up on the other instance's board, so I'm hoping that won't be as much of an issue with this one here.

For now I've created the sub icon (and I guess this welcome message too).

Any questions about the game are welcome! I'm not exactly an expert or anything but I've gotten through most non-uber endgame content and am part of a guild that is also very knowledgeable about the game.

Thanks for reading!
