The tl;dr from the article (which is actually worth a read):

The very short version: Unix PIDs do start at 0! PID 0 just isn’t shown to userspace through traditional APIs. PID 0 starts the kernel, then retires to a quiet life of helping a bit with process scheduling and power management. Also the entire web is mostly wrong about PID 0, because of one sentence on Wikipedia from 16 years ago.

I love Localsend because it's gloriously simple: Does exactly what you want, and nothing more. I haven't used KDE Contact; what else does it add in?

Interesting; it reminds me a little of an addon from maybe a dozen years ago that would do the same kind of thing but with fiction. So you'd be reading a post on Slashdot or whatever, and the addon would find a sequence of words that matched the start of one of the stories it had, and it would add a few words of that story. If you noticed, you could click on them to get more of the story, and if you kept clicking it would eventually replace the text of the whole page with the story. It was a really neat way of just stumbling across fiction. Wish I could remember the name of the addon. For some reason I think it was Australian, maybe put together by a university or an arts council or something?

Definitely; OP's linked article doesn't have any quotes that refer to copyright, while this one of yours adds a lot of context that was otherwise missing. There's a world of difference between allowing retention of IP addresses and creating a cleaning house for IPs suspected of distributing works.

If XSS is your concern, check out Firefox's Container Tabs. They allow you to set up tab groups that restrict access to cookies to only tabs in that group, so you can just, eg, set up a group for your bank and restrict it to just your bank's site. Your session cookie etc are then not available to any other tab groups.

I pair that with the Temporary Containers extension, so any random tab I open is in its own container. Everything is always separate.

It's especially insulting when you think about how many people you meet once and do remember their name.

What if that number is zero?

I came to this thread expecting to see this, and even with that expectation it makes me sad to see; to me the books are unarguably superior, to a large degree because Tolkien is such an excellent writer. I'd encourage anyone who's bounced off the books a time or two to go back to them and try reading them aloud, even quietly to yourself: even though it's prose, the text has meter and flow almost as strong as poetry. It's undeniably a slow read, but it's just such a beautiful one that the films, fun as they are, don't hold up.

Plus, Jackson's Two Towers is garbage.

To add some more detail about Web 2.0: it was a term that came after the dot-com crash at the turn of the millennium. There were a bunch of people saying the web was dead, the Internet was a fad that was dying, the bubble had burst and it was all over etc. Tim O'Reilly (of O'Reilly Books) came up with the concept of Web 2.0 to illustrate that the web wasn't dead and that it was still an evolving and vital thing. There's a lot more detail here: https://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html

The first guy I saw doing that was actually on a keyboard a dozen or so years ago.

Indicating trailing off is another way to use it; that's more literary vs the newspaper thing of indicating removed words. I wouldn't expect anyone to use it to indicate removed words at the the of a sentence, because you could just end the sentence instead. But some people are weird.

Ah, that makes sense

The related thing that I've seen a few times and never understood is ",,,". What does an ellipsis of commas even mean?
