   Speaking of adblock experience with Firefox (and uBlock origin), Google has managed to slip ads into my Youtube experience. So far I can skip them after watching the first 5 seconds so it's not too bad. Before that they had a popup tha

   Good. They are designed to prevent injuries to first responders (which are nearly always exposed to some hazard when responding to a vehicle accident.) I did a search and could find no reports of injury to first responders.

   Makes me wonder how much effort went into mothballing partial construction and then unwinding all of that to get it going again. Seems like it would have cost a lot.

    Tomorrow I'll strike a blow for this. I got my (12 year old) grandson a Pi 5 for Christmas. I plan to spend as much time as he'll allow on-boarding and hopefully he'll learn the fundamentals. At the very least he'll need

    I wonder if this will provide any way to deal with resistant tuberculosis. One of the treatments for MDR TB is removing the infected portion of the lung. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26757804/

    Sadly, if true, it's a low bar. Too many people have horribly unsafe driving habits and contribute to the bulk of carnage on the road. Skill levels vary a lot , even for "professional" drivers. (I'm looking at you, semi

    I use bone conduction Bluetooth earphones to listen to podcasts when I run. I notice a high pitched noise, occasionally accompanying the spoken "s" sound. I suppose it's some kind of aliasing and I don't know if it is in

    I like them because they help me to partition my code into units that are easier to write and test. Once they're working, assembling the parts generally leads to a working project. It also motivates me to get small pieces working and t

    You can also have it leave extra space at the end of the device. I create a new partition there and format it with ab EXT4 filesystem. At one time (I think) Windows could not deal with the extra partition but Linux does just fine.

    And speaking of spokes, that's what provides the strength in a traditional bicycle wheel. That allows for a fairly lightweight rim. Without the spokes a much stronger (and heavier) rim is required. This is an interesting exercise and b

    Aurora predictions only go out 3 days at https://auroraforecast.com/ so I suppose that's about how long it takes the charged particles to get to earth. Time frame at the NOAA site are even shorter. Neither seems to be

    Many long years ago I took a course that required using a terminal to edit and run code (Language was Dartmouth Basic.) One lucky student got to use a full screen terminal while the rest of us used some kind of line oriented terminal. My re

    LXD is container technology, right? I've used Docker for years now (in my home lab.) I took a stab at using Podman a couple times but the friction was too high (and my motivation to switch too low.) How does LXD compare to Docker? Shou

    What about the perturbation of the typical cycles by dumping lots of climate warming gasses into the atmosphere? If nothing serious is done (as we are doing at present) and the warming becomes a runaway, it will progress until the causes ha

    My desktop and laptop are both root on ZFS so I dodged this bug. (Actually I saw the press on this before upgrading anyway so I'm holding off until I see a fix released.)

    RPi5 exposes 1 lane on the PCIe connector. It routes 4 lanes to the 2040 chip that provides much of the board's I/O. IMO 1 lane is better than none. I love the CM4 because it exposes 1 PCIe lane and that can support a NVME SSD
