On linux /dev/random will use inputs such as mouse movement to generate random data. If a program needs random data for something such as encryption it will seemingly hang whilst it generates enough. This isn’t good on servers without an active user so you configure it to use /dev/urandom instead. Perhaps windows had similar back in the day.

1·1 year agoI thought modern microwaves didn’t rotate at all. My Neff one doesn’t and it’s a few years old.

We were there, monkeys all along. Or we were their monkeys all along. I’m so confused. This sentence makes no sense. My grammar sucks and i can’t even work this out.

World News@lemmy.world•Former lead BBC news presenter pleads guilty to 3 counts of making indecent images of childrenEnglish
3·2 years agoIt seems like the story updated over time. Originally the bbc said making and then the article content updated to say received. Maybe they jumped the gun, I don’t know.
If it was received, doesn’t excuse the fact a person in his station should have reported it to the highest level. Who the fuck uses WhatsApp to view porn? Definitely sounds dodgy.
Unless you’re renewing your copywrite every year, changing the date every year is wrong. You list the date it was copywrited, not the current year.
You don’t. It’s the year it was copywrited, not the current year.

Technology@lemmy.world•38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible a decade laterEnglish
7·2 years agoYeah i often wonder… Would they have changed the name of the game, paid me off, or done something like hellbladegame.com.

Technology@lemmy.world•38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible a decade laterEnglish
16·2 years agoAlso… I once created hellblade.com. We sold gaming computers with cases that changed colour with heat in the UK. Was a total disaster. Now it’s some big game franchise. Wish I’d kept the domain.

World News@lemmy.world•Ukraine says it was not informed about need to ensure safety of airspace before plane crash in Belgorod OblastEnglish
282·2 years agoFootage I’ve seen so far has had Ukrainian pows returned on busses. Are we supposed to believe that this time they decided to launch an expensive to fly plane to transport just 65 pows. Every pow so far has been returned completely abused and malnourished. Suddenly this time they pulled out all the stops? It may have been shot down but there weren’t pows onboard.



Exact same thing they did to Nest too.
