Put two of them next to each other diagonally: \\
One escapes the other and it will be treated like a regular item.
Not in terms of pure logic but definitely in practical terms. You don't get far in humanities if you only follow pure logic.
Does the cross mean "oh, it's actually only 3 things other than that one legendary dwarf", "hating elves" or "no relationships"?
More like 10-15 cm but yes
"Börseverein" basically means "Stock Market Club". At least they're not subtle.
Gloves, too.
Both look very much like .NET development with C# in Visual Studio. Each of these way too much Microsoft for a Lemmy user to touch.
Person #2 is way too masculine and attractive. The people in picture #3 are way too close to touching grass and socializing. The furry (#4) is indeed the most believable.
Unless it's the 52Hz whale. I'd shed a tear for that lonely creature; not for that biologist though.
Nice work but I see enough of this guy when searching for Lemmy online.
It's just the regular penguin. Clickbait!!!1!!

I know you're glad to have them cut off but this is gross!
It's not the defence's position to suggest the sentence!
Well, George Lucas has been gaslighting us about the OT for decades
Imagine your kid watches Return of the Jedi and asks: "Why did they make every ship's computer so primitive when they could apparently do CGI characters back then?" That will make you feel old.

PCBWay's "contact" detail page includes gender. (You contact me on my phone number, email or gender.) Apparently, the third gender is "Secrecy". In HTML, the selector is called "sexuality". Maybe I can change the sex of the fake support agent's avatar?
! Anyway, the HTML is questionable and so is the JavaScript: there is a GMT and China Time clock that shows seconds but as explicitly stated, it "updates every 5 minutes". Or at least it would if the timeout function wasn't broken. When I forcefully run it, it adds 5 minutes but subtracts a giant number of years (invisibly because the date does not update), eventually reaching 64bits' worth of microseconds ago and starting to show "NaN:NaN:NaN" in the date. Instead of fixing this, they limited the time update task scheduler to only run 10 times but it actually runs 0 times.

The problem: My download is fine but seeding is very slow and intermittent even for popular torrents. I think this could be improved using IPv6 via 6to4. 6in4 or 6rd, all of which are supported by my router, to discover more peers.
My ISP allowed me to forward the port so I am discoverable via IPv4, but doesn't support IPv6 and I understand the aforementioned technologies as a way to connect to a tunnel broker, which would forward my packets to the IPv6 internet.
However, they are another entity that can monitor my internet activity. Are there any, preferrably free, 6in4/6to4/6rd tunnel providers that are known to be torrent-friendly? Are there any firewall rules I should set up for my security, like only allowing IPv6 traffic to the qBittorrent port? My ISP doesn't care about torrenting so I haven't been using any kind of VPN. Should I?
Oddly enough, I have no problems seeding on a specifically Central European torrent tracker, which usually maxes out my measly 2 Mb/s DSL upload, but the dozens of peers at international trackers, some of which must be in Europe, barely leech data from me. Am I presumed to be slow because of a slow ping from the presumably American server, or is my disqualification from IPv6 so impactful? I find it strange as I can download from 20+ peers simultaneously and top out my 20 Mb/s plan.

Low-quality photo of a cleanly decapped chip with no resin around it, lying in a recessed rectangle in black plastic or ceramic. It is protected with some clear coat, and there are gold bond wires connecting it with 14 pins embedded in the package material. Two of them on opposing sides are connected and form a bed that the die.A structured square takes up most of the left half of the die and appears significantly darker. The rest is usual chip design with minor rectangular structures. The second photo uses crappy dusty lenses instead of digital zoom. It is slightly less cropped so it is revealed that the entire thing is within a deeper recess, possibly with a tab that keeps a cover on?
I don't have a camera better than my phone, sorry, and the magnifying glasses did not really help.
The pics are purposefully cropped to make the guessing a little harder. The chip continues to work now that I’ve undone this.
You may ask follow-up questions. I will post the full story and pics once you guess correctly.
Please use the spoiler syntax for your guesses so that people can enjoy guessing with follow-up hints without spoilers! You really don't like doing this, apparently. I thought it would make it more fun for people to take a guess even after someone guesses correctly.
I will do the same with any hints and answers I post in the comments so that everyone can choose the difficulty.

Für mich, der Hochdeutsch studiert hat, ist es weniger als Niederlandisch verständlich. Wie ist das bei Ihnen?
Ich habe diesen Pfosten im Jahre 2021 für r/wasletztepreis gemacht, wenn diese Kleinanzeige im tschechischen Internet populär geworden ist und ich wollte sie damit teilen. Die Übersetzung war mit meine Fähigkeiten nicht leicht, aber hoffentlich das wert!
Bildbeschreibung für Mobile-Benutzer oder Sehbehinderte
Eine Kleinanzeige „Ziegen – verkauft“, die auf tschechische Kleinanzeigeplatform Bazos.cz (mit Webdesign aus ca. 2005) von Benutzer „Zufriedener\_Ziegenhalter“ am 12. 3. 2021 postiert wurde. Seitdem wurde sie mehr als 120 tausend Mal besucht. Ein Bild mit etwa 10 Ziegen verschiedener Alter und Farbe im Hof. Fürs TL;DR ersten Absatz überspringen.
> Also, > irgendwann im Jahre des Herrn 2014 haben wir darüber nachgedacht, was mit einem unserer Höfe zu tun und hatten die Idee (im Nachhinein halte ich sie für ziemlich naiv), dass wir, da er in der Nähe der Stadt liegt, einen „Mini-Zoo“ machen werden und dass er von einer Menge Mütter mit Kindern und Schulausflügen aus der Kohlenstadt Most (Brüx) besucht wird, um ihnen zu zeigen, wie Ziegen Heu fressen, Kühe Milch geben usw. Also fingen wir mit dem Einkauf eines Esels, acht Schafen und einer ähnliche Anzahl Ziegen an. Unsere Naivität kam zu Ende, als der Esel, der ein geschlechtsreifer Hengst wurde und wie die meisten jungen Männer begann, seine eigene Sexualität zu entdecken. Leider nicht bei den Unterwäschekatalog – sein Ziel wurden Schafe. Also entschuldige ich mich bei Müttern mit Kindern und Schulausflügen aus Most, die das sehen mussten und seitdem stottern ihre Kinder. Ein weiterer Nagel im Sarg des „Mini-Zoos“ waren die beworbenen Zeigen, die einfach alles fressen und wenn sie eine Kletterrose an den Ufern der Bucht von San Francisco witterten, würden sie auch aus Alcatraz fliehen. Ich habe versucht, sie den tschechischen Gefängnisdienst als Versuchskaninchen anzubieten, um neue Technologien zur Sicherung von Gefängniseinrichtungen zu testen, mit der Vision, in die Stufenleiter „30 unter 30“ des Forbes-Magazins einzusteigen, aber stattdessen hat mich der Ministerrat nur höflich nach meiner Gesundheit gefragt. Sie sind die genialsten Masterminds vom flüchten, egal woher, und schon von ferne hört man ihre klitzekleine Hirne planen, wie sie Sie nun wieder verarschen werden. > > Kurz gesagt – der Esel f\*ckte den Schafen und die Sch\*ißzeigen aßen allen Nachbarn im Radius von 10 km, was immer sie im Garten hatten, inkl. Spaten und Gartenzwerg. > > Dies hat unseren Traum vom „Mini-Zoo“ vernichtet. > > Der Esel ist weg, die Schafe auch, nur Ziegen bleiben. > > An Selbstabholer zu verschenken biete ich alle diese Bastarde auf dem Bild an, wo man schon sieht, dass sie wieder etwas aushecken. Ansonsten schärft der Metzger schon sein Messer, ich bin nicht in der Stimmung für sie. Letztens bissen sie einen Stapel Heuballen von unten und hinten in die Scheune ab, und ließen ihn auf den Traktor fallen. > > Ich wiederhole – an Selbstabholer ZU VERSCHENKEN. > > Update 13.03.2021 10:06 MEZ – Die Ziegen sind weg, aber ich danke Ihnen allen für die positiven Reaktionen und das Feedback :-) Ich habe es überhaupt nicht erwartet.

Insensitive joke
A building you would have liked to stand next to on September 11, 2001.

Hard-to-read scrolling text in my tribute video
On September 11, 2001, NYC was swept by the tragic collapse of two giant shopping malls conference centers while downtown Berlin was delighted to see a building come to life. The Blinkenlights, an array of 144 lightbulbs inside the Teacher's House on Alexanderplatz, made its debut on this fateful day. Chaos Computer Club, a German group of hackers and technology enthusiasts, had taken over the building prior to its planned reconstruction. Celebrating their 20th anniversary and amazing the public with their technical skills, the club installed floodlights behind the windows in the upper eight floors, lighting them up with animated content controlled over the network. People connected to the Internet would submit 20fps, 18x8 animations via email to take part in a pixel art contest, or have a love letter displayed at will. This is where this “BlinkenPaint” program came into play. GSM integration also enabled anyone to play a recreation of Pong, as well as remote debugging. The installation instantly became popular with music videos filmed in front of and inside it, and thousands of people came to the February 23 farewell party. The club released their hardware blueprints and source code to the public, enabling reconstructions of this project elsewhere.
In September 2002, the CCC created another installation, the “Blinkenlights Arcade”, to celebrate the “White Night” festival in Paris. The French National Library sprang to life with a 20x26 array of lightbulbs. Forgoing the abuse of relays in the original Blinkenlights, solid-state circuitry allowed 8 stages of grayscale, enhancing the look of GSM-controlled games such as Pong or Tetris, as well as music visualizations during the October 5 party. In 2008, the Toronto City Hall was lit with a 960-pixel, 16-step grayscale screen during this festival.
By the way, the title of the installation references a 1950s meme text hung in computer rooms worldwide, exclaiming to “turisten und nonteknischen lookenspeepers” that “das komputermaschine ist nicht für der gefingerpoken und mittengraben […] für gewerken bei dummkopfen” and encouraging them to “relaxen und watschen der blinkenlichten” instead. Someone will surely have posted the entire copypasta in the comments. Also look there for clarifications and corrections of any mistakes in this text.
Over the past 20 years, giant LED screens have become ubiquitous in cities, and the idea of a display this size does not seem as outlandish anymore. Nevertheless, most display advertisements round the clock, and having the public play games and submit love letters remains unique to Blinkenlights and the installation should be remembered to this day.

Yes, this is a map of the Sun.
Legend:
🟥 OW OW MY EYES
Explanation
- Orthographic projection = view of a sphere from a large distance. It sucks because it distorts terribly and cannot show more than one hemisphere. It is how we see astronomical objects.
- Dymaxion projection = the globe is projected on an icosahedron, which is then cut into its net. The net is usually chosen to keep continents continuous but the Sun does not have this restriction. As such, any of the 43,380 distinct edge-cut nets can be used, as well as an unlimited number of nets if side cutting is allowed (as the most commonly used Dymaxion projection of Earth does).
Transcript for visually impaired
The flag of Japan is a rectangular white banner bearing a crimson-red circle at its center to symbolize the rising sun. Instead of a circle, this version features a shape composed of 20 equilateral triangles that form a icosahedron net that somewhat resembles this community's iconic stegosaurus. (To improve the stegosaurish look, the net is actually fake and won't fold correctly but don't tell anyone. One would need a good sense of 3D visualisation or actually create and try to fold it to find out.)
