Chat@beehaw.org•I just changed the lead headline at The GuardianEnglish
2·1 year agoThe world needs more “those guys”, especially when they actually know what they’re talking about.
I was only quoting the explanation, but as far as I can tell, part of the joke is that the paper was so regularly riddled with typesetting and spelling errors that The Guardian could make an error with an unchanging block that should be almost impossible to get wrong without deliberate effort.
As to whether they meant the nameplate or the masthead, this is a distinction I’d never heard about before, so I’ve learnt something there!

11·1 year agoThe Guardian doesn’t have the nickname “The Grauniad” for nothing, a paper likely to spell its own masthead wrong.
The nickname Grauniad was reportedly coined by the British satirical magazine Private Eye. This seems to be confirmed by the following, from The Economist (London) of 27th November 1971:
All the characters of Private Eye’s earliest days survive—Lord Gnome, the Grauniad, Lunchtime O’Booze—giving a curious cosy familiarity to each issue.

5·2 years agoIf it’s present, and loop guard is enabled, it would block the ports. This looks like an unmanaged switch so probably doesn’t have that feature.
Most of Netgear’s managed switch range have a loop guard function, even if they don’t do full STP.

4·2 years agoI imagine they might… Who do you think the people funding them are?
They’re extremely proud of small donations, but have capped larger ones at £1,250, not wanting to be beholden to anyone.
I can understand scepticism, but given their coal protest against labour prime minister Tony Blair I feel whether they agree with the actions of the people in power are more important to them than the party political flavour.

It’s for the cheap “1.111B” 6 or 7 digit xyz domains. I think it’s a recent thing, but they’re basically being bought up en masse and used for botnets/spam, so as an attempt to stem the flow the .xyz registry asks for ID
