I did a deep dive on this since progressively more places are taking a hard line about Passkeys. The most flexible, independence preserving thing to do is to use a third party password manager like Bitwarden, and make that the default passk

I'm a happy self-hosted Monica user, I like that I have alerts set to remind me of birthdays and other events, and that there's a place to list, e.g. everyone who got a Christmas card from me last year. I recommend it to people. I

I like where this is coming from but I'm afraid it's totally backwards. Apologies if coming off as unfriendly. I picked a spot on the map and no store within 25 blocks in any direction has any deals. That's fine, and it'

The distinction they're drawing isn't WLAN vs LAN but WAN vs LAN. Remember that in the peak days of the LAN party it was an alternative to gaming on dial-up or DSL - even if you had a good connection it was unlikely the whole game

Remember that with the dorita980[1] project and similar you can liberate roombas from their cloud. I run mine with a ready made docker container. [1] https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980

The tension this article writes about can be expressed to a tech audience as a compression problem. Dollar General wins out on low prices - essentially compressing their value prop onto a single dimension, prices. They won't do the Str

One thing I don't see anyone mentioning here is that OpenWRT allows you to configure your router as code via config files in /etc/. If you straddle the worlds of preferring a "normal" router to a custom built box bu

My Roomba is on a VLAN without internet access and is controlled via rest980[1] running in a container. It has a basic but functional web interface. Valentudo is probably nicer but I opted to trade that for the broad iRobot install base and

I did an exhaustive search scraping all of the supported Lineage OS devices to find a good tradeoff between modernity and a handset that isn't giant, resulting in my Zenfone 8. I'm not ready to upgrade yet but I'm very please

One great benefit that she doesn't touch on is LaTeX makes for a great on-ramp to generating resumes programmatically. I like to use different emails for different services (service@mydomain.com), especially when data is being hoovered

"So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It al

Immensely powerful, especially in concert with tidy data [0]. It's really remarkable how having a 'language' for the relationship between concepts can allow for so much flexibility. As a python user, I use the plotnine[1] imp

It keeps configuration in files in a *nix-esque file system, which allows me to keep router config and changes in git.

I learned handwriting in schools (early 90s) and like many it turned into absolute chicken scratch by high school as with many. Somewhere between high school and college I decided it was worth fixing and after a few years it got much better

When I was in university IT ~2008 our main concern was people accidentally serving their own DCHP onto the network and colliding with ours, generally by plugging in a router LAN port out. I could imagine a decree with this goal saying &quot

In case it's not obvious, Taboola hasn't been making money by connecting people to content they want to read, but rather by selling passive tracking data. If a browser goes to ten sites which have Taboola boxes on them, then Taboo

I'm a fan of the podcast but one argument they cited seemed to have a pretty glaring error - they looked at the case where eBay was comparing incremental gain on search ads over no ads. It's methodologically hairy because eBay is
