Back when I was first learning about Tech (early 2000's), I installed a mail server at home and configured it all wrong so I gave up on it. A few days later I noticed that my drive was getting full and didn't know why. This is how I learned about a honeypot, I had left it running, someone had used it for sending spam but since I screwed up the setup all the spam was stuck on my computer with nowhere to route out.

Last time I setup a mail server


Gemini 3 Flash gave me a fun answer!

Since your goal is to wash the car, you should definitely drive it there.

As an IT guy, you can think of it like this: walking to the car wash is like remoting into a server to run a script, but forgetting to include the actual data payload. You'll arrive at the destination, but you won't have the "hardware" present to perform the intended task!

Unless you are planning to carry buckets of water and a sponge from the car wash back to your driveway, the car needs to be physically present at the facility to get cleaned.

Drive the 50 meters—it'll be the shortest commute of your day!


Oh man. I absolutely hate how Gemini tries to tie what it knows about you into every single answer. It caused me to go delete everything it had in memory about me.

The part of the article that caught me was that European Companies used to just drain nuclear waste (not sure what type), into the rivers in China and they would eventually flow into the sea


There are a lot of dirty sites about the globe.

* Naval Nuclear Waste Management in Northwest Russia - https://bellona.org/news/russian-human-rights-issues/nikitin...

* Yucca Flat - https://eros.usgs.gov/earthshots/yucca-flat-nevada-usa

* Hanford Nuclear Site - https://darrp.noaa.gov/hazardous-waste/hanford-nuclear-site

are just three, in no particular order.


Russia's former Lake Karachay was an impressively polluted location, the early Soviet reactors were cooled with an open loop where highly contaminated water was discharged directly into the lake. The lake eventually became thoroughly sedimented with nuclear waste, and when levels dropped radioactive dust would be blown about the region. Apparently just half an hour on its shore would have been enough to doom you from the amount of radiation exposure.

They eventually filled the lake in, I can only say hats off to the poor buggers who had to do that. I think it's safe to say they had the world's worst job at the time.


Where did you get the “European companies” part?

This quote sounds much more like “USSR military apparatus ” than “European companies”:

> decades-old nuclear weapons tests and nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities in Europe,


I also use https://spaceweathernews.com/ Lots of data in there for us to see the sources and effects


Reminds me of Africam. Back in the day my kids were very young and we would check it out every morning to see if we could see animals live at the watering holes, probably back around 2005-2008 or so?


So disappointed that this isn't an article about the Grateful Dead


I got really excited that it's about Minecraft's once popular modpack


Dire is still at it. New pack for Minecraft 1.21 updated as recently as a few weeks ago!

Oooooh that's crazy - I thought it was long dead! Thanks for sharing!


In the timbers of fennario..



The wolves are running round

The winter was so hard and cold

Froze ten feet 'neath the ground

Don't murder me, I beg of you don't murder me...

This makes me think of people that change two lanes very quickly to be able to turn at that next corner. We all see them, they piss us off through their bad planning but in the end I don't think an autonomous vehicle would ever try this, depending on programming of course.

Would also be nice to see all incidents, not just injury incidents to see what kind of unexpected "mistakes" these cars are making


It shouldn't, simply because it always knows where it's going well ahead of the lane change.


I do remember having a Blackberry and my IT Manager at the time thought it was crazy to have to reply to emails after work. So I guess there is quite a bit of freedom lost
