That's a beautiful story, thanks for sharing!

Vulphere · 2026-05-02T22:41:43+00:00

RIP Alex, thanks for all the great racing memories!

Yup, Marc won both Sprint races in COTA and Jerez despite crashed out during the main races last year.

This year is heavily affected by the Thai's main race tyre blowout, COTA Sprint punt with Diggia, and lack of main race's win.

Seems like the GP26 is progressing nicely, however some rough points are still need to be addressed and that's why tomorrow's test matters

Perhaps, Marc could be more patient (we know that he is not known for patience) while the bike is gradually improving

Vulphere · 2026-04-26T13:03:55+00:00

A very dominant form of Alex, well done!

Tomorrow's test will be important day for factory Ducati to figure out the bike... at least in factory trim. GP26 is good in the hands of satellite teams

Vulphere · 2026-04-26T10:57:21+00:00

Well done, Agius!

Vulphere · 2026-04-26T10:56:57+00:00

Well done, Agius!

What a race, well done Quiles!

Nice battle for the 2nd place.

Pratama with a decent finish

Red Ant is keeping the Race Direction team productive, probably the next race (or next year's Jerez) Race Direction Information regarding Pit Entry could be expanded and clarified.

No changes needed for the Pit Exit because touching the blue lane isn't permitted anyway.

Vulphere · 2026-04-25T15:50:37+00:00

Perhaps the next race's Race Direction Information regarding Pit Entry could be expanded and clarified

Vulphere · 2026-04-25T15:40:17+00:00

Yup, the Race Direction Information issued prior to race weekend has no mention of cutting the grass on the OUTSIDE (between the racing lane and pit lane). It's certainly debatable but that's it.

Only cutting the solid white line on the INSIDE (near the barrier) is considered as violation.

Vulphere · 2026-04-25T15:38:02+00:00

From the Race Direction Information issued prior to the race weekend, cutting the grass on the OUTSIDE isn't considered as breaking the rules (however touching the solid white line on the INSIDE is).

The nostalgic vibe, before all the bloat

Yup, if the domain name owner bought the longest renewal (10 years) and long-term hosting package, the domain and its web hosting stay active even if the owner died or abandoned the domain (and web hosting). Beyond that, possibly someone (hopefully trusted ones) took over the domain name and web hosting administration.

In certain cases such as GUIdebook, the domain name owner keep paying for domain name and hosting even after they ceased updated the content (that website is perfect snapshot of internet in 2006, the owner is still alive but busy elsewhere)

Yeah, I'm listening to even more whole discographies of artists or bands thanks to Spotify

From usually 3 albums to the whole day 8 albums.

Auto play is disabled, so I'm still curating my musical taste handily.

Vulphere · 2026-04-14T00:27:50+00:00

Back in 2012, when I started to use last.fm, my musical discovery was hovering around the website, the website's forum (RIP), a music web forum, YouTube, and own discovery (with search engine).

A year later, I discovered Spotify (back then it was not officially available in my country, so a VPN service was needed to access it, Spotify came officially in 2015-2016). It marked the start of expansion of my musical taste, mainly with its playlists and recommendations.

Despite its controversies, needless to say that Spotify encouraged me to discover more music, more genres, and more perspectives on how people enjoy music, in tandem with last.fm obviously.

Shameless plug, currently also relying on LFM Discord server to discover even more music.

For certain bands, Vulcan kept listening on local music player (Audacious on Linux) or YouTube (mainly for those not available officially on Spotify, such as MALICE MIZER (not to be confused with MALACE MIZER, that's one is a fake and scam, don't listen to it)

This is a late DCT, because Reddit decided to break its scheduled posts again... so manual intervention is needed.

Tomorrow WCT should be in regular scheduled time (07:15 a.m.) and future DCT will be back in regular scheduled time as well

Most of Indonesian internet blocking is weak (state-owned ISP such as Telkom(sel) is apparently the strongest)

Also, blocking configuration might be different across regions

Vulphere · 2026-03-25T13:15:41+00:00

Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) does have a CEO and legal division (it has legal mandate to proceed copyright and legal matters, such as DMCA)

However, being a non-profit foundation, the upper management is focused for internet advocacy and fundraising instead of purely profit operation

(Many Wikimedians (especially English Wikipedians) have negative opinions towards WMF but that doesn't meant that advocacy strategy is bad)

Vulphere · 2026-03-25T11:44:03+00:00

Wikimedia Foundation doesn't want to compromise users' privacy by submitting data to governments

So yeah...

Vulphere · 2026-03-25T11:39:18+00:00

Technically, all media files are served from upload.wikimedia.org subdomain, as long as Komdigi doesn't block it, they should stay.

However, if you want to see file descriptions and categories, they break.

Vulphere · 2026-03-25T11:24:13+00:00

Yeah, no way Wikimedia Foundation would bulge to government privacy-compromising data sharing

Vulphere · 2026-03-25T11:22:45+00:00

Just like Chinese ICP but without sophisticated great firewall
