And that’s why older media is usually better. Only the good parts have survived and the 90% has been forgotten.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does "DNS" work on the dark web?
4·3 days agoFrom the link, since I think this is the part most equivalent to DNS.
The Onion Service assembles an Onion Service descriptor, containing a list of its introduction points (and “authentication keys”), and signs this descriptor with the Onion Service’s identity private key.
The Onion Service upload that signed descriptor to a distributed hash table, which is part of the Tor network, so that clients can also get it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you pay for online services like search and email if they offered a better experience than Google?
1·5 days agoI haven’t done it myself but know people who do. If you use a known provider and only the domain is yours I wouldn’t expect it to be blocked as companies also use their own domain for their email.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you pay for online services like search and email if they offered a better experience than Google?
13·6 days agoEmail yes but only with my own domain so I can change providers if the price changes.
I wouldn’t pay for anything I’d prefer to keep anonymous and that includes search.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Does it ever bother some of you that "I'm switching to Linux!" is just more of a way to appear rebellious than actually committing to the choice?
5·7 days agoEven if they don’t end up fully switching it doesn’t matter. Some might switch, some might try dual booting. But saying they are going to switch is free press and may convince more people to try it so that’s still a win.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Wearing a helmet and a hat while biking
6·12 days agoIf you’re wearing jeans you can also strap it onto the belt straps. If it’s on the side it shouldn’t be too uncomfortable
If it’s something specific like what you mentioned, just search for relevant articles with lists of recommendations. For more general themes you can go to goodreads (or similar), find some reviews you agree with on other books you liked and see what else the reviewers liked. Or do the same with people you know if you have similar tastes. You would think LLMs would be good at recommending books but every time I’ve tried with chatgpt the results were pretty bad but YMMV.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something which you pay more than "it's worth" for the sake of good quality/experience?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you speak a language that has a formal 'you', when do you use it?
2·18 days agoIsn’t te/le technically a conjugation of you though? You also have to conjugate the verb but at least the difference is just an ‘s’ that you can aspirate enough that it’s not clear if you’re going for tu or usted.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you speak a language that has a formal 'you', when do you use it?
6·18 days agoGreek: formal you is usually used with older people (but not family), teachers when you are a student or higher ups in general. Wherever I’ve worked we used the informal form but I don’t know how common this is. Also retail workers typically use the formal form with customers so I do the same with them but many people do not. It seems to be slowly going away as a feature.
Spanish: I’d use the formal a bit less than in greek but it depends on location. In Spain it seems pretty rare but some central and south American countries use it much more.

Sadly true (and yeah, I didn’t know about those movies)
