Go watch Toys (1992) Starring Robin Williams


Got your wish


Solution, meet problem?


Was looking for this comment, thank you.


Well, ddrescue can definitely “read audio tracks” and is perfectly suited for making archival copies of Audio CDs but it sounds like the problem you’re actually trying to solve is interpreting the data as Red Book CD-DA and decoding it into chunks you call files ;)


I’m confused… to turn off Wi-Fi on WatchOS, you just swipe down and tap the Wi-Fi icon in Control Center.


My mistake, edited to clarify I meant iOS, not the Watch.

Though I did recently discover I can always make my watchOS Flashlight Red (instead of the default blinding White) by enabling Theater(?) Mode, which is nice.


I’ve downloaded a copy in the past. It’s a large zone file full of NS records (obviously?) and compressible to a high degree.

There is actually, it’s called Rainbow Vacuum. They used to (maybe still do?) sell them door to door MLM style but the vacuum is actually good in my experience with them.


My mother has one of these, but I didn't know its name until now! I actually remember the salesman coming to our home and showing us how it works. It's still going strong ~25 years later. I'm currently using a Miele something, but I'm always a little weirded out by the fact I have to change vacuum bags, because when I grew up we would just flush the dust down the toilet after vacuuming.

Now that I know what my mother's vacuum is called I'm a little tempted to get one myself...


Funny thing as it pertains to this thread is the Rainbow salesmen used to sell an air freshener or early essential oil to add to the water. I can recall the smell perfectly now


I can relate completely. This has cost me countless jobs and I have resorted to treating with beta blockers before interviewing. I may be using too low of a dosage because it doesn’t seem to be that effective in my experience.


If I understand your position correctly, you’re advocating for a world where Cloudflare is the arbtrar of ethics, morality, and legality on the Internet? I think I’d rather they just continue to provide service for sites I disagree with? Thanks.


They can host all the political dubious sites they want, but when they sell a service that protects from what they’re hosting (booster services where they offer DDoS for sale sites), it starts to look an awful lot like a protection racket.

That’s a nice website you’ve got there. It would be a shame if someone DDoS’d it. Hey btw, I sell DDoS protection services. Gee, isn’t that just so convenient!


Run a website with decent traffic for a few years and watch the script kiddies come out asking for bitcoin in exchange for turning off their botnet.

Not a racket when you see how common it was before Cloudflare.
