Didn't your password manager notice that npmjs dot help was not a legit domain and avoid auto-filling there?

I ended up building my own image of OpenWRT to make the package hell better on upgrade, and as a bonus, I was able to build in my configs too. Recovering from a failed Pi was as simple as flashing the most-recently-built image. Upgrading ju

I remember swapping the TSOP packages on a WRT54 to double the RAM. Here's a blog post about this, not sure if it was the same one I followed: https://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/2010/09/upgrading-ram-in-w...

The first DJI drones (original Phantom at least) used OpenWRT on their "Range Extender" boxes.

The crypto founder space was full of tweakers in 2014. I imagine a lot of those people have moved to AI as the latest grift on investors.

Most protocols that I use day-to-day are secure against simple passive interception. Either SSH or TLS encrypts just about every packet that leaves my network. This got much better with DNS over HTTPS (or TLS before that). Of course these p

Everything by qntm is phenomenal if a bit rough around the edges. Fine Structure was one of my favorites, along with There is No Antimemetics Division, which is now being published as a proper book!

The phone part is easier in many places. I've personally bought both a phone and SIM card in cash from a corner store in SF. I was asked to provide some legal information for the SIM, but they pointedly did not look at my ID or anythin

On the flip side, a lot of those old through-hole memory chips have failed. I'm not sure what the mechanism of action is, but it likely leads back to some kind of (at the time unknown) manufacturing defect. Every new generation require

Perhaps Valve will create their own payment processor, just as they created their own app store for games.

They did, to some extent, though not to the degree I described. As an American, I would be more worried about China than Russia though. They makes a lot of our hardware and firmware, giving them plenty of chances to embed killswitches and z

That doesn't seem to be stopping Russia from engaging in the energy war, where they're "wasting" incredibly valuable and rare precision missiles attacking substations and power generation. So far, this has been only mode

I do think there's a better than average chance that WW3 starts not with an open nuclear exchange as our parents imagined, but instead with a substantial cyberattack which shuts down power, water treatment, communications, hospitals, p

We better hope that we haven't awoken ChatGPT, because we haven't even attempted to keep it in a box. We're all rushing to build as many interconnections as possible and give AI unilateral control of as many processes as we c

I have Ctrl-p bound to use `fzf` to fuzzy find files by name, just like in VSCode or Sublime. \a uses `rg` to search file contents. I don't use rust much, but if I wanted to go to a specific line in a file, I would probably just use C-

The big thing that FPV drones have going for them is that they're ludicrously cheap and easily constructed from relatively basic parts by moderately skilled people. It's literally cheaper to strap a grenade to an FPV drone and fly

I do all of this from vim. I have \a bound to repeat my last / search using ripgrep in the current directory, and open the matches in a panel below. I have \gd bound to go to the definition/declaration of a symbol.

As long as AOSP and its various flavors continue to be viable alternatives, Android is still better than Apple. If you run Lineage or Graphene, I'm sure you can still "sideload" just fine.
