There are stories floating around of hackers connecting to old satellites (for fun), so it's possible. NASA could have gotten away with sending a password in plaintext (can anyone intercept a focused radio signal?), or DES, but it&#x27

There was also a Tomb Raider port (and probably other examples of the genre).

It's not hard to figure out who people would vote for (on average). Pick a town that leans in your direction but has low voter turnout and I'm convinced you can affect the outcome.

But the managed servers look comparable in price to AWS instances at the same specs? (I'm eyeballing, I don't want to pull numbers on my phone). I don't want bare metal nodes, they put a high lower bound on the cost of a dist

I often find myself in a mid-size situation that's awkward. Hetzner doesn't provide SLAs, so if I have to then I need to run my clusters across multiple providers. If I need to support full DR in 8hrs I need to have something on a

Disagreeing with your thesis isn't propaganda. If anything, you could argue the tweet is propaganda, because the labels for the AWS bar chart is missing. (Not that I think that's what's happening). Hetzner nodes aren't a

I tried searching for it, without much luck. I don't think I was thinking of Sidewalk, though. It was more like some TV manufacturer like TCL, LG, etc. The best I could find are some unconfirmed reports of devices automatically connect

This is kind of silly, because waiters don't remember orders in bits, but... If the menu has 32 items, an order of one item fits into 5 bits, without any compression. In reality, if the steak is popular, you can save more bits with Huf

This is a very fuzzy memory, but I remember a report of a smart device that "helpfully" automatically connects to other devices nearby, forming a mesh network. In other words, even if you never connect your TV to your WIFI, it mig

I don't think you're using "dorking" correctly here, since web crawlers aren't anywhere in the picture. Server log queries aren't "dorks." Besides, if you can reproduce the issue and _if_ it's so

> 10 to 20 times markup I don't want to argue that AWS is cheap, but I call hyperbole here. Where can I find an m5.large (2 core 3.1GHz CPU, 8GiB RAM, 10Gbps network, $70/month) for $7 USD a month?

The etymology I've heard is that it comes from Warcraft 2, where some top players made Smurf-themed alt-accounts after everyone started dodging them. That may be apocryphal.

Is "git" relevant here? Forking isn't a git concept, and none of this behaviour has much to do with git; it's all GitHub. Also, you can revoke an API key, but you can't revoke a company-proprietary algorithm that yo
