Same with me. It usually happens when I've been reading in bed for long and I unconsciouly get in a bad posture (neck). Correcting it, doing some shoulder and neck light exercices help but I've never associated it with pressure caused by lower body, mainly legs. Which it might as it also happens when I'm cross legged (and somewhat torso twisted) at the computer desk for too long.

It's not just uploads but any item that uses the email address as a unique user identifier (I'm not technical enough to explain this clearer but [1]).

An email address will be part of the xml in his uploads but also in his profile, which anyone can access by simply changing the url from https://archive.org/details/@foobar to https://archive.org/download/foobar. So, in essence, one just needs to have a registered account, independeltly any uploads made.

I have a similar situation, where I signed up with my main account and later changed IA's email to a more private address. It was the first email I checked on HaveIBeenPwned and it doesn't show up in this leak. The other couple IA accounts I have, whose emails and passwords are exclusive to them, they all show in this leak alright. I have no explanation to your situation but this was also my immediate though and I also wanted to give the opposite perspective.

Found a reference to ENIASA - Instituto de Informática de Engenharia SARL (computer science engeneering). Rereading your post, I'm not entirely sure if it was just an academic publishing from maybe the same group or if a new branch for computers derived from the mecanograph educational offers. Curious use of ordenador istead of computador as it is nowadays, makes me wonder if it was an early adoption of the term computer.

It was submitted for registration and approved in 1970, according to Diário da República (similar to Federal Register in the US): https://files.dre.pt/gratuitos/3s/1970/09/1970d210s000.pdf , page 4, line 82 of that table. Or here: https://i.imgur.com/GyKPamu.png

Oh, wow! I started using that in my university days (2002) as notebook for classes and eventually for everything else, didn't know it was ever a thing. It just made sense, given how much one-side only printed pages I had laying around. I also tried a crud bounding with twine for more stability but figured a second clip on the opposite side was enough and saved me the effort of punching holes. I also reused an old moleskine notebook cover which was just the perfect size. It still lives today, now as my ebook reader cover and a few blank pages. With a rubber band, it can also fit nicely an securely a pen.

Thanks for this. I just threw your comment on Llama and asked for a userscript that would also be compatible with old reddit. It gave me this https://pastebin.com/0d7mhcBu and it's been working fine. I can now middle/right click an image and open it fully in a new tab instead of that new webpage.

Pt. 2 will be the software side of this (Domesday) project, not the vhs-decode. Software is considerably more complex and nuanced than capturing and why he decided to make a 2-part video for a deeper dive.

I'm hoping he does vhs-decode too, it's far more accessible and potentially can bring the attention to more people as this also serves many's personal purposes of having a digital master of their home tapes (and not necessarily or exclusively preserving [no longer available] commercial media.

I love the fact that on the games requirements on the Steam page it still says it runs on Windows XP when in fact all support has been cut for long now, leaving out many of us who got into Steam on the first place because we either wanted a legal digital copy of our physical collection or because many physical game keys WOULD also activate a digital license. I still keep Windows 8 because it's still supported on Steam but that too will change in january 1st next year. The irony is even sweeter, given that this update should very well work on period correct machines (which again, many of us still keep running) but alas, you'll still locked out.

We'd gladly trade all the distractions the client forces down our throat (stickers, trading cards, avatars and all of that stuff) for the ability to single play the games we legitimately bought. But that's not an option we have, unlike say GOG, who also doesn't support old OS but at least gives us the possibility to download the games. I'd even concede some form of DRM that doesn't involve the Steam client but naaa, "the h4x0rs will get into your XP box that you keep solely for retro gaming and shut off the world. you must upgrade, re-buy, expend!"

Anyway, happy birthday Mr. Freeman.

A small thermal printer would probably be direct thermal, which uses a heat head and heat sensitive coated paper. This fades away naturally, even if kept in the dark. Glue from tape will accelerate it, in case you're thinking about it to protect from abrasion.

There's also thermal transfer printers, which use a ribbon as "ink", similar to typewritter. These labels can endure much harder conditions, like scratches, high temperatures and fade. They're used all over the industry. But these aren't usually small printers and have a high cost. At that point I think you have better solutions on printing services (I understand if you don't want to have the files outside of your environment, though.)

the rss feed includes some garbage on the link to the comments. it seems it adds `item` before the `/` which renders the url invalid. eg https://twostopbits.comitem/?id=61 but https://twostopbits.com/item?id=61 works fine
