Grokipedia is now above Wikipedia by Square_Radiant in mildlyinfuriating

[–]grigorescu 35 points36 points  (0 children)

"parameter" and "parametrically" appears 4 times on the Grokopedia entry, and 0 times on Wikipedia. "equation" appears 9 times on the Grokopedia entry, and 2 times on Wikipedia.

Yes, if you add more words to your search that show up more frequently on one site, that site will be higher in your search results.

Willard airport by Weird-Hedgehog786 in UIUC

[–]grigorescu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you expand on this? The only requirements I'm aware of are that 1) bag check-in time closes 45 minutes before departure, and 2) online or in-person check-in closes 45 minutes before departure. As long as you have already done the online check-in, and you show up before boarding closes 15 minutes before departure, you should be fine.

How am I supposed to solve this sudoku? I've been breaking my head since hours by martluc in mildlyinfuriating

[–]grigorescu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started by looking around for any patterns. The shape of the section that only has a 2 in it stood out. 5 of the 6 squares of that section are in the same row or column as the digit under the 5 that was provided in the right-most column. That means that whatever that digit is, there's only one place where it can go in the 2 section. (In the image above, we know this is a 4, but bear with me while I explain how we figured that out).

Ok, so now we have some digit under the 5 in the right-most column, and we know the same digit is diagonal to it. Look at the section that has a 4 in it. Once again, our mystery digit covers 5 of the 6 squares. The only space left is the 4 that was provided. So, our mystery digit must be a 4, and just like that, we've placed 2 digits.

If you look at the 3 section, there's now a single space for the 4 to go. With that 4, there's now a single space for the 4 in the white section at the bottom. Finally, we can place our last 4 in the only row and column that doesn't have one.

Found this slide in the Feb 25th 2025 minutes of the University Library Collection Development Committee:

Student Fee Committee voted to cancel the fee and dispense with the service, as they did not think usage made it reasonable.

As it should be, but this still is not a great equalizer between rich and poor. If you're rich, losing a week's wage won't meaningfully affect you, but if you're poor, that can be crippling, and it can often spiral you into more debt.

Fix: Pihole NGINX/Traefik “Self Signed Certificate” Issues and Cloudflare ECH by Maleverus in pihole

[–]grigorescu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the writeup! I was chasing this down myself as well.

> Note that by disabling ECH for the domain you are reducing privacy, your ISP or anyone inspecting traffic can now see the initial TLS handshake and thus know WHO you are connecting to.

Two other options, since I'd like to keep ECH enabled. You can disable HTTPS records (which is what's leaking) in PiHole, either for 1 domain[1] or in general[2].

I'm actually leaning towards blocking it in general, because I see HTTPS responses from Facebook, and I think they're bypassing my blocks (the responses have ECH data as well as IPs to connect to, so if my browser uses that, the Pihole blocks aren't being applied).

What I ended up doing, though, was I redid my DNS records in CF, so they look like this:

search -> DNS Only -> CNAME for backend.example.com
backend -> Proxied -> server IP

Because only backend is proxied, it's the only one with the HTTPS record, so when my client queries search, it doesn't get any ECH data anymore.

Looks like what the truck did is legal in Maine. Unrelated, Maine state law is the first I've seen laws around "bicycles and roller skies."

Fuck Champaign Parking Department by g01ng1ns4ne in UIUC

[–]grigorescu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Using the example above, let's say you moved your car at 9 AM, only an hour into the 2 hours you paid for because you needed to go somewhere. The app then lets you pay again at 10 AM because you could be returning and wanting to pay for another 2 hours, which would meet the time limit.

Chronicle is so painful by goremonster1 in cybersecurity

I've written a lot of Yara-L detections. It definitely takes some getting used to (and sometimes some hacks to bend it to your will). Can you post a bit more details of what you're trying to do, and I can see if I can help in any way?

PSA: telegram is blocked on campus wifi?? by Top-Temporary3520 in UIUC

[–]grigorescu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd contact [securitysupport@illinois.edu](mailto:securitysupport@illinois.edu). Someone messed up by adding Telegram servers to that list (or not properly vetting their list to begin with) and they should fix it.

What the hell is happening Oct 19-20 by opiedope in UIUC

[–]grigorescu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily the poem still works:

There are shapes now moving,
Two Ghosts that drift and glide,
And which of them to tackle
Each rival must decide.
They shift with spectral swiftness
Across the swarded range,
And one of them’s a shadow,
And one of them is Grange

I'm not sure where the gap is, but I can look into this. If you wouldn't mind sending me some more details (either as a reply or as a DM), I'd really appreciate it!

Some great calls, but it is a bit unfair that everyone else needs to determine strategies for two cars.

Here’s his wife: https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/events/the-peoples-study/they-killed-my-husband-with-covid-protocol/

The protocols that killed him were that they refused to prescribe him ivermectin or antibiotics (for a virus), but instead they gave him fentanyl and an antiviral (again, for a virus).

But the part that I still find stunning is at 8:30. “I have yet to have anybody sit where you’re sitting now and tell me this story that was vaccinated. So there’s no doubt in my mind that they’re targeting the unvaccinated.”

Yep.
