USB 1.1 moved data at 12 Mb/s and carried insufficient power to charge an iPod. Whereas FireWire shifted data at 400 Mb/s. That difference was huge. Apple didn’t come out with USB support for the iPod until USB 2.0 became a common

Those two statements are only in contradiction if you believe there are only two choices for how to organize a society: A Red one and a White one — and both built on hierarchical power. Orwell clearly didn't believe that. As he wrote:

I have several servers running it, and I’ve been pretty pleased with it. If you want to try it out you can get an OpenBSD VM at Vultr or OpenBSD.amsterdam for about $6/month. I also highly recommend Michael W Lucas’s book Relayd &

In his book Mutual Aid a Factor in Evolution, the 19th century naturalist Peter Kropotkin remarks on the flocks of mixed species of birds he encountered in Siberia. He documented clear cases of inter-species coöperation, like warning of and

In my opinion, Michael W Lucas is one of the best tech writers working today. I have made great use of his books Absolute OpenBSD, SSH Mastery, and Httpd & Relayd Mastery. He also wrote Absolute FreeBSD and PGP & GPG: Email for the

This weekend I came across an interesting comment on the Netgate WireGuard fiasco from a former FreeBSD Core team member David Chisnall. He does consider it a failure of FreeBSD's process. https://lobste.rs/s/sh2kc

I became addicted to SimCity 2000 in 1996 when I was in economics grad school. I loved it, but was so frustrated by the neoliberal assumptions built into the game. The game rewarded strategies that were not backed up by empirical study, or
