I'd also recommend to slowly migrate to GrapheneOS, getting to know where the boundaries are for specific apps. Once you've got your 'dailies' all up and running predictably, then you're good to go, but it could tak

Because a good story scratches something that's deep and hard to reach. Because fiction allows an escape from the drudgery that real life can so often be. Because sometimes fiction is required to inspire us as to what we consider possi

Are these the picks and shovels? Is the profitability of these electronics manufacturers more likely than the companies that are buying up all their future inventory?

Something I've thought about is how does a VPS provider prevent this kind of thing? Most of this kind of traffic goes by completely unknown and therefore unreported, so 'VPS host X' has no case to answer, to some degree. If m

Plain text file one IP address per line works for me. Simplicity for the win. Within the last month is probably enough. If I was consuming it, I'd add each monthly list to a database so I can build up my own 12-month (or whatever time

This is great. Do you publish a list of the 'knocking' IP addresses anywhere? (abuseipdb.com was mentioned, maybe I need to just pay for their service for their 100k blocklist) (I've mentioned this before on related HN thread

Statement on the site, not the Grok link, but I'm seeing parallels between the two. It seems to be mostly good advice, but there are definitely some questionable statements in there. When has there been a war on protein? When has the a

FYI, old notepad has a permanent advertisement / notification at the top saying that there's a new version of Notepad available! I'm not sure if it's possible to get rid of the nag banner. And even if it is possible to g

One of the last straws that got me to migrate to Linux was how long it would take for calc.exe to open in Windows 10. Even on much older computers and much older version of Windows it was instant. Suddenly in the mid-2010's the calcula

I've still got the very fast muscle memory of "Alt-F S", I used to do it habitually in Word and Excel. Still do it occasionally, then having to then undo whatever it does now (luckily it's usually nothing), but sometimes

Notepad rendering other formats removes one of the specific reasons I use notepad: to strip the stupid formatting that all sorts of applications seem to want to attach to text these days. Notepad handily strips away all the custom link nami

I had a USB that I carried around with me with a whole bunch of portable apps on it. That allowed me to have some kind of "standard environment" I could rely on. I've since migrated to Linux 100% (outside of work) and whilst

My interpretation of ModernMech's comment is that acceptance is a pre-requisite of changing it. ie. if you didn't accept it, then you wouldn't feel the need to change it.

It certainly feels that Microsoft is accelerating in this race. There have been almost weekly 'a new reason' that Windows 11 sucks and is user hostile. Previously it would be only once a month.

My wife, who isn't into that culture at all, knows how I feel about Hackers. Every now and then when the opportunistic situation arises, she'll announce at me: "Crash and Burn".

In Australia that was titled 'Hackers 2' and was very disappointing - until I learned the backstory and have since read Ghost in the Wires. It's still a totally different thing to Hackers, but it's a good addition to the
