No it can't. Neutral is tied to ground at the breaker panel. So long as that breaker is turned off, and the neutral isn't accidentally being used as the neutral for another circuit, then there's zero current across the neutra

I think you're underselling it a bit. He's going before a federal judge, not even for the lie itself but for failure to provide documentation to prove that lie. He's facing increasingly severe monetary sanctions and possibly

How is the systemd project any different in that respect than the GNU project, or FreeBSD? If you don't want systemd-boot, or systemd-networkd, or literally anything other than core systemd and the journal you don't even have to b

I thought they were compliant for UniFi AP firmware but not 100% sure on that. I've seen in the past where upon a new release being published they would forget to update the GPL archive on the site. Just email support@ui.com and they d

Also, while Ubiquiti is failing to provide the source code for AmpliFi, they do comply in other areas. Their claim that they don't provide the GPL licensed code at all is flat out false. https://dl.ui.com/firmwares&#x2F

It's relatively cheap and easy to use something like ARM TrustZone that has a public key hash set in the processor via blowing fuses on the die itself to ensure that that processor will only boot up with a firmware image that's si

What self respecting scientist would ever claim that dead plants not burning would sequester carbon? If it's in a position to burn then it's in a position to decay which releases that carbon back into the atmosphere anyways. If an

You can't do that as you don't have any access until it's being rebooted. It's basically like you're standing in front of the machine so there's not really much you can do when you're just looking at a log

Not OP, but in particular one of the major points of your post about the issues surrounding DNSSEC is that TLDs are controlled ultimately by the government with jurisdiction over them. Specifically I'm talking about the section titled

I can't envision a remotely plausible scenario that could even come close to Chernobyl in terms of impact. Chernobyl had no containment structure at all and was running at full power (infact, beyond full power once the steam inside the

Are you sure about that? I thought part of the whole incentive for commingled inventory was that Amazon no longer kept track of it separately per vendor and just lumped it all into the same bin without a unique serial number.

Flaring it isn't even the main problem. If it's burned up, it's just CO2, releases of Methane are much more problematic as it's a much more potent greenhouse gas.

That E2E encryption sure must be easy when you just handwave away key distribution. At least that's still not as bad as when FileVault discarded the user's password hint and instead used the plaintext password itself as the hint.
