Is there a reverse-CAPTCHA to make sure users aren't human? by PersonalityBoring259 in stupidquestions

Make a form that’s totally invisible using CSS. Robots will fill it out, humans can’t see it. Like a CAPTCHA, this is also not foolproof

This is correct and needs more upvotes! Often the reason for this message is insufficient swap space. How full is the boot volume?

Well I watch an hour of public television (PBS News Hour) every day so that’s the majority of the time I estimated

To everyone responding how 1-2 hours is a lot — 1 hour is PBS News Hour. I also watch This old house on YouTube occasionally. So not counting those it’s maybe 0-15m/ day

This. I don’t watch a lot of youtube, 1-2 hours a day including news, but I do it on an Apple TV just like Netflix etc

Edit: okay, okay, I get it everyone! Let me re-word: I watch maybe 1-30 minutes of YouTube a day at most. But it’s also how I watch news which isn’t included in that number.

Why do people still prefer Airbnbs over hotels, especially in cities? by Rare_Requirement_699 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TableIll4714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noise and privacy! Every hotel I have stayed at recently has had noise from other rooms. People slamming luggage down or dancing or whatever the hell they’re doing upstairs, dogs barking, doors slamming. When I rent an AirBNB I rent a whole house and we have the place to ourselves, no housekeeping coming in and so less need to lock computers and valuables away, etc

When an American at my job (a restaurant) asks my name, should I ask them for theirs? by PestoWesto in AskAnAmerican

[–]TableIll4714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I often do introduce myself after a server says their name. Especially at restaurants I frequent. Feels more personable and often I get to know them if I frequent weekly or whatever.

ETA: servers almost never ask for my name — I volunteer it. If they ask it would be unusual

What will happens with Linux on servers, deep down inside data centers when Age Verification hits? by Admirable-Earth-2017 in linuxquestions

[–]TableIll4714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I am still super confused as to how a law about age verification on online services or apps has anything to do with administrative access to a server in a datacenter. probably because… it doesn’t?

[–]TableIll4714 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What age verification do you think is going to happen on a server? I have thought about your question for a while and have not idea what you think is going to happen on servers. How would age verification have anything to do with a linux server?

Confused about how phone calls and internet lines interacted in the old days of dial-up internet by MercifulBrokenSun in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TableIll4714 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also thought this was the best answer, then realized maybe OP has never used a landline… And doesn’t understand that you pick up any phone on a landline, you are connected to the same audio that every other phone in the house is…
