I'm on Wayland these days, but if you happen to be using X11 this is the homebrew solution I used to use:

xdotool type --delay 50 "$(xclip -o -sel c)"

The --delay argument specifies the delay in milliseconds between keystrokes; if you go too low on that it tends to break things.

Interested to see what solrize comes up with because this method definitely has drawbacks -- no way to interrupt it and if you accidentally paste something large it takes a long time to finish due to the forced delays.

I've never really had the need for a Wayland version, but I don't see why subbing ydotool for xdotool and wl-paste for xclip wouldn't work.

I'm not sure the invidious: protocol supports live streams, it seems like it's only fetching a single fragment from the HLS stream. What you're trying works for me using a direct invidious instance URL, e.g. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=cmkAbDUEoyA.

For fun I did a quick check and based on GEBCO elevation data this looks like about 20m sea rise (I'm guessing exactly -- I assume whoever made the image picked a round number).

Hacked-together graphic showing Florida with sea level rise causing approximately the same coastline as the OP.

I could have posted what 2m looks like but at this scale it just looks like current Florida.

That's just a one-time pad with extra steps.

Australia’s about as sparsely populated ...

Sorry what? Australia's population density is is 3.6/km², the US's is 33.6/km², almost 10 times higher. Even if you fudge it by treating the swathes of uninhabited desert as an outlier and ignoring them, you're still dealing with a raw number of people lower than the population of Texas.

Are we really so far down the "obligatory memetic envelope because apparently just stating opinions isn't socially acceptable any more" slope that we've dropped past "can't stop thinking about x lmao" and on to "i was talking to my sister and, get this, i said x"?

I guessed the same, but according to Wikipedia:

The name wallaby comes from Dharug walabi or waliba.

I'm not sure how modern anglicisation works but I assume what's given there is considered the most accurate spelling of the indigenous word. So "wallaby" isn't too far off.

This is honestly quite mild by website bloat standards. If that's really the entirety of their Javascript it's already way smaller than e.g. Medium or what this blog post considers "slightly bloated". The fact that it's in one file in 13 lines is also very standard. It makes no difference to the parser whether there are newlines or not, and removing them will in fact be saving bytes.

I'm guessing the performance issues with the site are more to do with how it's coded. If it's really bad for what sounds like a simple use case it might even be a cryptominer or something. A lot of those "random utility as a service" sites are.

I don't think that's what's happening here. As far as I know it's an issue with a driver installed on the computers, not with anything trying to reach out to an external server. If that were the case you'd expect it to fail to boot any time you don't have an Internet connection.

Windows is bad but it's not that bad yet.

Looks like the laptops are able to be recovered with a bit of finagling, so fortunately they haven't bricked everything.

And yeah staged updates or even just... some testing? Not sure how this one slipped through.

 

All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It's all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.

Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.

Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We'll see if that changes over the weekend...
