Many do not understand the Russian military because it is human nature to search for some kind of reason or logic. The is no reasoning with a mad man, and that is who is in charge in Russia.

With hardware there are only so many sanely quantifiable ways someone might use, abuse, or hack up your product. And you don’t have to care about some or all of them. Someone might desolder an Apple silicon chip successfully and do somethin

I have intentionally withheld updating my daily drivers to iOS 26 because of Liquid Glass. But if I had to pick between two evils - diminishing UX quality and shoving AI into every corner where no one asked for it - I’d still pick Liquid Gl

It would be wise to assume anything ever disclosed to xAI, Tesla, X, et al will be retained.

As someone who has now owned multiple Samsung fridges, I commiserate. In my market Samsung has driven away all the service techs. We managed to find one, and he said he only works on Samsung because it’s a captive market now. He complained

Sometimes it matters that the original business isn’t getting the sale. Probably not in this particular case though. Someone my spouse knows recently bought one of the $3500 models that’s getting this, and said person was in the “test” grou

This is ultimately what we did in my house for every Samsung TV. Their smart TV stuff used to be marginally interesting. When Samsung TV Plus launched it was fantastic. They weren’t yet sure of how to handle ads so even the ad space was sti

With self hosting tools I have found the key to success is simplicity. When I stopped conflating my home lab, home production, and what I thought I wanted, things just became so much simpler and more reliable. YMMV of course. I’ve come to t

We still have to pretend SSNs are private until both law and common practice change. I expect that to be “functionally never”. Maybe within our lifetimes. Maybe. My SSN is out there several times over at this point, thanks to breaches at ph

If my memory serves, this is the same wolf in sheep’s clothing that the attestation based Web Environment API was, from the same kinds of very interested parties. (Edit: I may be misremembering the name of that proposed API.) It’s not about

I was also immediately looking for a buy option. It’s for a good cause and it’s a gorgeous edition. It’s time I re-read 1984 anyway.

The last re:Invent presentation I saw from one of the principals working on IAM quoted 500 million requests per second. I expect that’s because IAM also underpins everything inside AWS, too.

Aside from data sovereignty concerns, I think the best rebuttal to that would be to point out that every major provider contractually disclaims liability for maintaining backups. Now, sure, there is AWS Backup and Microsoft 365 Backup. Neve

You can, at the very least, register an open by generating unique URIs for any remote content. I’m not sure how long Google caches it. I know Fastmail is doing the same thing now for any remote content fetched from within their web interfac

Someone I knew had a family member who donated their body to a university laboratory, although not for that particular use. The way they talked about it was clearly as a matter well considered in advance within the family and by the one who

I haven’t had that level of issues with CIFS on Apple platforms in general. For most of iOS 18 there was a bug where iOS and iPadOS simply couldn’t connect to Samba shares on Linux but that has since been resolved. Apple does implement some

I’m managing hundreds of terabytes on (Open)ZFS in 2025. It’s as promising and capable as ever. It doesn’t really have a stable and battle tested competitor in the FOSS arena considering its feature set. (Of course there are things like Lus

I wonder if they’re conflating the push for FIDO2 credentials as Passkeys with the general problems of using passwords. Passwords are perfectly fine in theory. It’s when you put humans in the loop that they become a headache.

This is a fantastic idea. You could use this to promulgate SRV records that direct you to a country’s authoritative time servers, too.

You’re not wrong in general terms, but tzdata is fairly well essential, a default component, and a dependency for unpteen things in the ecosystem. Of course a line must be drawn somewhere, but this really is a “major” caveat.

Our service incurs direct per-customer costs from deployment to retirement, and typically requires our time, so we have no free offerings at all. We don’t even do free demos. We learned these lessons because of an early mistake we made. Und

Yep. I use ZFS at home, but on business oriented NAS hardware with drives to match (generally). And I don’t go asking it to do odd things or configure it bizarrely. I don’t pass through drives named with Linux names (I prefer WWN to PCI add
