What exactly was the problem you ran into? I've run binary through pipes just fine before.

Never heard the phrase "magical mesh" to describe certain types of p2p before.

Good name.


That would make finding the URL to hotlink harder, but wouldn't prevent it.

Typically, sites check that the referer header is from one of their sites to prevent hotlinking.


Twitter was limited to what was easy to enter on a T9 keypad. Of all the available characters, @ was a good one to go with.

I can't say that they don't for sure, but if I was designing the videoID youtube uses for URLs, I'd put a check character in there. For the rare case where it must be entered manually.

Would be nice to know if you'd made a typo rather than just hitting a blank ID in the vast space of all possible video IDs.


Additionally: An Irish passport gets you into the UK just as well as a UK one does.

This new rule might be problematic for those Northern Irish people who identify solely as Irish (as is their right under the Good Friday Agreement) and who only hold an Irish passport: unless things have changed since the DeSouza case [0], the UK Government and UK law treat everyone born in Northern Ireland (as long as at least one of their parents meets citizenship or residency requirements) as a British citizen, regardless of their opinions on the matter. The UK Government holds that this is compatible with the GFA because you can renounce your British citizenship; but you have to pay hundreds of pounds to do so.

I looked up setHTMLUnsafe on MDN, and it looks like its been in every notable browser since last year.

Good idea to ship that one first, when it's easier to implement and is going to be the unsafe fallback going forward.

Oddly though, the Sanitizer API that it's built on doesn't appear to be in Safari. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Sanitizer


Where are you finding those sensors for $4? I think the main selling point is that they're set+forget and solar powered, with all the "software magic" happening in the cloud.

The sensors are very cheap:

If you want a fancy one with a lens and an IR cut filter it'll run you a grand total of $35:

Sure, the extra stuff like LTE modem, battery, solar panels, casing, etc, costs a whole lot more money, but these things clearly are built cheap. The optics and imaging sensor is a joke compared to real, proper cameras.


Any idea when that changed? I've been unable to access historical sites in the past because someone parked the domain and had a very restrictive robots.txt on it.

There's a /save/<url> endpoint that archives the page you point it at.

You can see a text box for it on the right, if you go on the waybackmachine's homepage. I used it yesterday.
