Science and tech is obsolete like the format of paper encyclopedias? (It isn't.) It's worth considering if a short-term focus on stocking fad romantasy comes at the long-term expense of a body of knowledge. Consider the classic va

Some of the lower tier individual plans offer generous storage. There's value for having a copy with them vs doing everything yourself. There's a bit of maintenance even if you just stand still. On the photo side, I notice them up

You wouldn't ever rent kit like a body or lens or lights? You'd just always buy something outright? While time goes on, any software toolchain needs maintenance, too. What's the ideal model for sustaining that? Is renting a p

Homelessness went up, but counting them is hard, and untangling it from pure econ causes is also hard. This group claims PITC went up year over year. Surged, they said. https://www.dogoodmultnomah.org/homelessness-portland

I don't think the goal was to reduce drug use, it was to create a legal marijuana industry and reduce policing which was a broadly popular sentiment in 2020. https://ballotpedia.org/Oregon_Measure_110,_Drug_Decriminali.

What was your flagged comment? I missed it before it was buried. Capital punishment is flawed because it's a permanent (certain) solution to an inherently uncertain problem of whether people are guilty. We can't be 100% sure we ar

There's always the unresolved concern of the state killing people amid the uncertainty of a criminal conviction process. There's also an element of incompetence and cruelty to consider when executions cannot be done mercifully, id

Unfortunately, moving to DNS blocking could only be a brief refuge before the creeping anti-adblock efforts target it as well. Adtech and the web are identifiable by mostly unique domains, but what if that could be hidden? What if the adtec

After auth, it downloads a copy of your vaults to your device from their servers. Super contrived, but you could probably just copy the sqlite dbs of your vault it creates locally to another PC along with the 1Password installer and it migh

by 9x39 2y ago
But where do you store emergency codes? Or secret metadata for things? I think these are common artifacts to accumulate. A password manager is ideal for these when security is far more than passwords at this point.

by 9x39 2y ago
You'd have to contact someone to get the secret key from your 1Pass emergency kit, wherever you stored it. That is, unless you can memorize long strings of numbers really well.

Are you anything less than immediately perfect? I mean this in the way that inverting a question sometimes snaps me out of some loop or rut of indecision. I think it's important to remember we're happily compatible with many peo

Client isolation (whether wireless, by broadcast domain, IP filtering) is in conflict with ubiquitous device casting/streaming/detection features common in apps, which often do expect the ability to find each other on a LAN. I thi

Sloppy work and bad security can happen with any system, can't it? Especially a system abandoned for years without management. Mikrotik could easily be setup with weak passwords and management exposed, as can Cisco/Aruba/Ruck

by 9x39 2y ago
I love Mikrotik too and the price point, but it's for people who know network engineering or need a particularly rare type of gear (like a small inexpensive 10G SFP switch). I tell people to jump into Ubiquiti's (ui.com) ecosystem

You could have a strong account password which is needed for remotely accessing the PC, and a simple PIN for convenience but which only works when authenticating locally. (I'm assuming this is a personal PC and not a corporate device,

That would make sense at first glance, but I was talking to my HVAC contractor and they warned me not to make that assumption. It's not easy to compare gas furnace BTUs to heat pump BTUs for both physics and issues specific to my home

You might not see a downside if it's not your house to renovate. The problem is major home infra like heat pumps and retrofit work like extra insulation can be tremendously expensive. In the US alone, switching my gas furnace to heat p

That’s interesting that the gendering is reversed in Africa. Why do you think that is? The linked article didn’t try to explain it. The OP article covered Mexico which remains closer to the US in outcomes being heavily male-gendered. https
