Other than backwards compatibility with previous IRC clients, is there anything IRCv3 brings that something like Matrix doesn't do? Despite myself being a pretty prolific EFnet'er 15-20 years ago, most of the world has moved from IRC and I question the value of splitting resources across too many different efforts, when I think we'd be better off if everyone adopting a federated protocol like Matrix; which I believe covers pretty much all of the IRC use cases in addition to a number of others.
Almost two decades ago, I worked at a network service provider who had as a customer a company that provided the technology for serving those gas pump ads.
At each gas station they had a VSAT, a router and of course the digital signage boxes on each pump.
They fed the ads to thousands of pumps via a single T1 to HughesNet in Atlanta. They'd multicast the ads, and have a local cache at each pump that would receive the stream, cache it and serve it.
It was one of the most elegant setups I've ever seen, and should serve as a case study in multicast for efficient bandwidth utilization across an expensive data transmission medium.
It's a Jem'Hadar from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. They're bred for war and require a constant supply of a drug called Ketracel-white to survive. Ergo, "War, on drugs!"

Come to Canada, we definitely need as many progressive voters as we can get.
They're called voters.
Unfortunately gas stations don't actually make much money from selling you fuel. Most of the money is made from the attached convenience stores.

If you want to see doctrings in action, take a look at Salt (https://saltproject.io/). They're used to build all the module documentation (https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/py-modindex.html) using sphinx and they won't accept new modules without them.
I second that. Chamberlain's/Liftmaster's MyQ app grows more ad-infested by the day and the RatGDO gives you local control (no cloud required)
Yup, specifically a base64 image encoded inside a Markdown document.
This can probably be accomplished with Tasker. Tasker can definitely disable the screen timeout, and my guess can lock the phone as well.
yes.

Just ordered myself a ratgdo. Really wish it supported wired Ethernet though.
Agreed. I use 24 hour time on all my devices, working in IT it just makes things easier.
I put pepperoni, ham, bacon and pineapple on my pizza. So tasty.
Nope, they use a GUI program called 'Data Extraction Program':

Unless it's 'True Lies', in which case the terrorists are running Windows 3.1.
My guess is people who use $100 bills for toilet paper.
Looks like it's fixed after signing out/signing back in.
Looks like web works, but both Jerboa and Liftoff are broken.
Yep same. Something is clearly broken, or lemmy.ca has been owned like some other instances due to some emoji bug.
