Oh sure, I don't mean to imply that this "Super Load" poses a threat to major infrastructure. I was simply pointing out that "under 10 mph" is not necessarily a guarantee of safety, and that very massive objects are

The Dali hit the Key Bridge at under 10 mph. The kinetic energy of a 415000 kg object going 4.5 m/s is about equivalent to a 2000 kg object going 65 m/s = 145 mph.

Almost certainly no. Probably not protected from meteor hits or car crashes either.

That's a cool clock. Do they make one that is radio controlled by US transmitters? If not, maybe txtempus[1] and a Raspberry Pi Zero W can help. Or pico_dcf77_tx[2] and a Pico W. 1: https://github.com/hzeller/txtem

Two of my friends recently bought Kias, and they seem like really nice cars just from the brief time I've had to ride in them. Maybe I'm just seeing the difference between 2019 and 2023/24 models, but the camera/awarenes

Shouldn't this motor have thermal overload protection that prevents it from reaching a temperature that would allow it to start a fire? I'm not sure how smart the seat moving system is, but it seems like it could also refuse to ru

AIUI, resin 3d printers currently either use a UV laser and a set of galvos to steer it across the build plate, or a bright UV LED and an LCD to selectively admit and block light to various parts of the plate. The laser approach is higher p

My ISP has a /28 block, so if they chose to penalize my /32 for some reason, that would include 1/16th of the customers of my ISP. Just guessing based on population and situation, that might include on the order of 50000 peop

FYI it's pretty common to get a /48 or a /56 from a data center, or /60 from Comcast.

Be careful running this on an untrusted directory, especially with e.g. pdfs, just like anything else that parses images, especially using ImageMagick.

True, today time is the greatest equalizer. Even the rich and powerful will eventually kick the bucket and leave the future for others. If life extension takes off, the rich and powerful may live forever, while the less fortunate may still

Yeah we bemoan how short-sighted people are, but that's because we only live for a handful of decades. Think of the kind of progress that we could achieve if people were free to follow their dreams for centuries, alongside the kind of

The discussions about swap in the LWN comments are interesting. I wasn't aware that at the "swap should be 2x RAM" tip was actually a hard requirement at one point (allegedly around Linux 2.4). I also wasn't aware that c

Yeah though SSDs make that even easier, with the aptly named SECURE ERASE command. Modern SSDs encrypt the contents of the drive at rest _anyway_ (transparently, using a key that's baked into the hardware) as encryption algorithms are

I'm a little sad to see that no implementations of JavaScript were on the tested parser list. I'd be interested to see where browsers and nodejs `JSON.parse` as well as `eval` parsers fall. As the author mentioned, some of the JSO

Perhaps. I've often wished that JSON supported some sort of custom types or type annotations, or failing that, at least datetimes. Some other nice extensions would be support for comments and optional trailing commas. There is somethin

Yea I figured -6 was superfluous but I put it in because another commenter made a big deal out of ping vs ping6 (a distinction that's been gone in Arch for a while). I do have a link local address directly on that NIC. I also use VLANs

I tried this on Arch and it didn't work at all. $ ping -6 ff02::1%eth2 Did I miss some kernel tunable or nftables setting? Unicast ping works fine.

Hmm I tried this on my Arch desktop, and it didn't work. It did work on my OpenWRT router and on my Debian server.

Thanks! I have been on HN since 2014 and I still hadn't figured out WTF people were talking about with TFA. I just assumed it was some kind of reference to the article but I didn't realize the F was for fucking.

Lots of this stuff has ended up at CuriousMarc's lab, for restoration and archiving. I strongly recommend his YouTube channel if you're into electronics tinkering and/or Apollo.
