That’s a particularly buried lede

Not everyone?

Does anyone?

Good thing we can fork, I guess, but it’s kinda sad to watch a previously good org die

the demise of Perl

You imply this is a bad thing

Which one’s in the Linux kernel?

My main use is skipping the blank page problem when writing a new suite of tests—which after about 10 mins of refactoring are often a good starting point

Several times a day

Sometimes I can’t be arsed with the replies it might generate, others I realise I’m not actually adding anything to the conversation

If Israel could stop actively trying to start world war 3, that’d be nice.

There’s only 4 years between FF7 and Halo

Hmm

I’d maybe try systematically turning any other devices off you think could potentially have the grunt to run windows server in a container or VM.

Do you have a Mac/Linux machine handy? If you run arp -a in one terminal and ping the unusual IP in another, that should give you a corresponding MAC address for the device. You can then look up the MAC address and see if it gives you any more info about the device running it—it might not but you never know. You can use something like https://dnschecker.org/mac-lookup.php

I guess next you could look at taking that MAC and blocking it in your router control panel and see if anything starts complaining

Yeah IIRC you’re right, though I remember you could contact apple and reset it.

It was called FairPlay DRM and they only really got rid of it around a decade after iTunes launched. I’m not 100% but I think I had to pay to upgrade my already paid-for library to DRM free too

Have you recently installed visual studio or are doing any .NET development? It could possibly be a containerised version of IIS

If you completely turn off your windows device and try to access the IP from another device does it still resolve?

As everyone else has said this is the out of the box default page that comes with Microsoft IIS web server on windows server.

Though I feel like you’d know if you had a copy of windows server running on your network somewhere—is the IP in your usual network subnet?

As someone who helped run a few video game forums back in the mid-00’s, it was pretty common for a pure forum to start posting blog or article content if it didn’t already as a way of attracting people to the forum. Once this happened you needed to share that content to sites like digg, del.icio.us & Reddit in order for people to actually discover it and then consider joining the forum community.

Problem is it eventually just pushed people to consume from those sites and join the meta-community there rather than actually engaging in the community back at the site itself.

After that, the standard conglomeration you get when there’s only a few players left happened and thus we ended up with Reddit being what it was for the last decade.

Most of those sites were community first, content generation second and once the community dried up, the sites all died

…so you hate-watch creators you don’t enjoy on alternative YouTube front ends explicitly in order to not give them ad revenue Vs just not watching them?

Aren’t you only wasting your own time?

Oh I didn’t actually realise that, I thought they’d just gone full Adobe with office 365

Cheers for the response, I appreciate it!

I’m curious about the plugins as obviously I’m not gonna be familiar with the notepad++ plugin ecosystem now—what’s special about the ones you listed?

Assuming edit EOL is just changing the line termination characters, all editors have that don’t they? Or does this not do what I think?

Intrigued about VSCode being slow for text manipulation too—I remember this being a big reason I dropped notepad++ for sublime and IMO VSCode and sublime more or less have parity on that front, particularly with vim bindings

I just don’t get the love for notepad++

I started using it as my main back in 2006ish, I then switched to sublime text about 2011, then about 5-6 years ago to VSCode. All the time using vim for any in-terminal quick edits.

Notepad++ is easily my least favourite editor of the lot, by several miles, it just seems so rigid and clunky without even going into how it’s windows only. Every editor I’ve used since has been a huge improvement over the one prior IMO

Gotta add to your message under the video, partly because I like this creator and other small creators like him:

I completely understand someone not wanting to get blasted by ads and tracking from YouTube—however if you’re using one of these YouTube front ends, please consider sponsoring the creators you’re watching on patreon or something if you’re able to. If everyone dodged the ads and didn’t also sponsor the creator in some way, they’re eventually just gonna stop being able to make content because the necessary income to justify the work is simply not going to be there.

I hate ads as much as the next guy, but it’s important to remember it’s a big part of how these people can afford to make the videos we enjoy. So particularly with smaller creators, happily dodge the ads, but make sure they’re still getting something for their work.

Time for another court to finally set the precedent the EULAs and Terms & Conditions are bullshit because it’s expected that no one will read them, and therefore no one has actually agreed to anything

If this actually rings true, there’s something pretty wrong in your team.

Stand up should be a quick and uncontroversial meeting talking about what you’ve done, what you’ll do and anything you need help with, plus maybe a couple of minutes of small talk before you start.
