I had to jump through a few hoops to get Linux working right on my XPS 15, and it was actually a major reason I switched to a MacBook. The backlight didn't work with the original kernel released with Debian Bullseye. That got fixed wit

It’s not a “blame free postmortem” though. The author is blaming GitHub for not sending him a handwritten letter from the CEO inviting him not to do the stupid thing he positively affirmed he wanted to do. The author also neglects to mentio

At the risk of being “that guy”, my solution was to buy an M1 MacBook Air. At some point you have to accept that there is no one in the linux space incentivized to create a modern desktop experience, much less laptop power optimization comp

I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but are there viable defenses against hypersonic missiles?

Have you considered vyos as a Linux alternative to *sense? Additionally, you could set the box up as a hypervisor, pass the NIC through to the router VM, and have the other VMs/containers use a bridge or some more advanced virtual net

unless you were deaf in the other ear, why would you want to use ANC in one ear only?

I went to Costco a couple days ago with the intent of getting some ribeyes, but they were even more expensive than filets if I'm remembering correctly. Probably one of the first times in my post-college life I've balked at the pri

What are the reasons traditional ovens have such a wide band here? It seems like with modern technology one ought to be able to cut that down a bit. Is it just physically infeasible based on the size of the space to be heated? Or is it trem

Have you considered using Debian testing or even unstable, if you want newer packages? I absolutely agree that manually installing software leads to a maintainability nightmare. How does scoop solve the problem? Is it simply by moving faste

Not knowing where the money comes from is pretty normal. Not knowing where the money is going is generally a bad sign.

I don't think it's satire, but I do think it's one of the dumber ideas I've heard. My best guess would be it's a planted article to try and con someone into anonymously investing in a promising young DAO.

For those who may not know, automatically steering ships was the problem PID controllers were invented to solve. So one might even say it’s more than an analogy!

It’s kinda difficult to hear about how someone owning multiple houses and renting them out is not a wealthy landlord. That’s the definition of a wealthy landlord. Sure, there are wealthier landlords out there. I’m sure the Wisconsin tenant

It sounds to me like you are describing a situation where supply is constrained, rather than one where the price is not set primarily by supply and demand. I feel this distinction is important because it could guide whether the solution is

I have been pondering this recently, and I feel the most fair solution is to simply reduce the of landowners to have input on what other people do with their land. I believe the comparison to limited farmland is actually much more appropria

How does ASN.1 compare to something like binary protobuf? I have no data to back this up, but I was under the impression ASN.1 is one of those specifications that is so large and complicated it’s essentially impossible to implement correctl

> Weirdly, it's already significantly easier to find Rust (or Rust-interested) developers these days than C/C++ How do you figure that? That seems highly counterintuitive.

I am not terribly well versed in Rust MCU development, but I poked around with the teensy-rs and esp32-rs projects a couple years ago. ARM seems to provide some XML register description files called SVDs[0]. They seem to do a decent job des

Do you think there's any potential for rust to gain a competitive advantage in safety critical systems? Or are the benefits too difficult to quantify? It seems like if something along the lines of "MISRA C" (but requiring Rus

This article is several years old. I could swear I heard about this happening even before 2019 though, but all I can dig up through web searches is this case. Have there been any updates?

I think there's some merit to the argument that making tracking products widely available has risks and downsides. For one, there are some important differences between AirTags and a GPS tracker. AirTags don't use GPS (at least, o

Surely Apple can use information from their Find My account to figure out who the AirTag was registered to. Even if the tag has been destroyed. That should be trivially easy, right?

The market is guaranteed to stay small if the "hobbyist" version of the software is $350/y. I've heard great things about it, but that's pretty far outside the "try it out for fun" range. I had a lot of fu

Who cares about fail2ban? Unless you're worried about DOS, it seems pretty silly. Similarly with a firewall, assuming you have NAT and a firewall on your router.

Use one key pair per device. If you lose the device, remove the associated public key from the server's authorized keys. Using a password on they key isn't a bad idea either.

The major concern in the OP seems to be left turns hitting pedestrians. Eliminating the left turn over the crosswalk removes this problem. I would argue left turns to cross over the median aren't crossing oncoming traffic, they're

I agree that this is what I would want to use, but doesn't the lack of any kind of specialized switching hardware make it uncompetitive in terms of price/power consumption/speed? I have on order a mikrotik rb5009UG+S+, which

I've always wondered if one could use SNMP for this.
