Because I want to work with talented coworkers and do business with talented counterparts and socialize with people who aren’t scared of immigrants.

Disconnected from what? The reason it feels hostile is because you led with a joke about the whole thing being a big mistake, but also that the author wrote about a thing they built to solve a problem they had and ended their post by saying

What a strangely hostile thing to say to somebody's earnest post about their setup.

When was the payoff of a stock not from selling it later?

Best approach here is to do nothing differently than any other day. Invest your money in index funds, don't move it around, wait.

The entire premise of modern CSPRNGs is that you feed into them whatever entropy sources you have, wherever it's from, the more the better. The point of disagreement here, about whether or not it's possible that they'd be cho

> Those problems are endemic to all web apps. No, they’re not. They’re design choices where the default that has been chosen is dangerous for somebody deploying the software. Plenty of web apps do not have those pitfalls.

The part I found jarring was that it will totally do TLS for you but using a TLS stack they don’t recommend, and if you put it behind a reverse proxy you also need to know to do custom log redaction to avoid logging tokens.

It's possible the math works out differently for people whose roof already needs to be replaced, or for people whose roof can be nearly totally covered with generating tiles. In my case, it's been a while since I crunched the numb

Before I bought a solar roof, I used to really struggle for things to talk about when I met new people. I was considering joining a Crossfit gym but that seemed really strenuous so the next best thing was sending a truckload of money to Tes

The expansion of "rugpull" to encompass "a company or open source developer changing the roadmap or level of investment in something they develop" is fascinating.

That guide is wild. By default it allows public registration, shows password hints, requires a reverse proxy for robust TLS but then passes tokens via GET params, runs in the container as root. Recommends fail2ban because it doesn't ha

No, you're pretty spot on. It was the overlap of a couple of factors: 1. I wanted solar & batteries as a buffer for grid outages 2. I wanted to be able to offset some of my energy usage with solar 3. I wanted my roof to look nice,

Not really, no.

Not if the two things you want are "solar power for your home" and "for your roof to not be covered in obvious solar panels". I have a Tesla solar roof. I bought it knowing there were cheaper options for equivalent solar

What’s the use case for encrypting the files? Generally I’d say this is what Sharepoint or Box or a more workflow-specific platform is for. You generally don’t want sensitive data living on individual people’s workstations in an enterprise

Can confirm. I've used an adapter to charge 2 different non-Tesla cars off my wall connector.

DPI is distinct from TLS MITM (though many enterprise devices offer both). The delineation here is between "shallow" packet inspection (which basically nobody refers to because it's just a normal part of networking), where ne

That's not a chargeback, that's an escrow service.

If you’re being MITM’d, they’ll also match, because you’ll end up connected to an environment of the attacker’s choosing.

Sorry, so what's your position here? Are you for or against people working on anti-combat-drone technology? The comment you're replying to is pointing out the oddity of being anti-good-thing because somebody might one day invert t

I don't understand what point you're trying to make here. I originally replied to a comment saying "This feels like the practice of Linux distros back in 1999 when they'd ship default installs with dozens of network serv

It’s radically different than on by default. Having a service that automatically starts and listens on the network is radically different from having a module that a local administrator can load. If you want to block module loads, you’re on

It’s not enabled by default. It’s an optional module that is loaded on demand. The entire setup of the kernel promotes compiling in the core set of things your users will need and offering basically everything else as a module to load on de

Do you want a longer form rant about how maybe this is a sign that we should care that other fields pay a livable wage, and that it was folly for tech workers to imagine ourselves as more deserving of big piles of money than other people? I

> but still need many man-weeks or months or even years with a large team to make it into code. That's an argument that writing code was the time-consuming part, which is different from it being the difficult part.
