We can only strive to do better for our children than our parents did for us.

I really think genetics has to be a factor as well.

My older parents here in the southern US are both dealing with skin cancer of various forms (melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma) because of accumulated sun exposure from when they were younger. Neither one of them were tanning fanatics&#

You hit the nail on the head and that is exactly why I do it that way. I don't have to worry about all the different ways different databases need to be backed up if they are running and the outage window is measured in seconds in t

If you care enough to run a personal Vaultwarden, you should care enough to back it up too. If you don't want to back it up, you probably shouldn't run it locally and just use the service. Exactly right. I have a script t

Unfortunately, the system was running fine for 2 years and then deteriorated to not-quite-fully-dead in the span of about 20 minutes. It would only attempt to POST 1 time out of about 10 power on attempts and won't finish enough of the

I'm in the process of troubleshooting my son's desktop and have swapped out every bit of hardware except for the motherboard and the ~2 year old 5600X itself. I just assumed the motherboard had failed at that point and RMA'd

I just live with Windows Defender (heavily modified via GPO to disable sample submission and auto-remediation) these days as there is no such thing as a pure third-party antivirus product anymore. Avast (and basically all others) want to d

I wrote a similar tool years ago to get better acquainted with Go. It was an endless procedurally generated website of linked pages that contained things that looked like email addresses along with username/password combinations. The

I noticed that tailscale magic DNS appears to not be able to understand that /etc/resolv.conf doesn't need to be manually overwritten when using dhcpcd whereas there is no such problem when using the ISC dhcp client. Obviousl

Yeah, Google has really tanked in its usefulness to me the past few years. I now routinely have to slap site:reddit.com on many of my searches to get relevant results. What a joke. :-/

Worst case, they'd manually audit the ATM in question to resolve her case so it'd only delay her deposit. I've even had 3rd party no-name ATMs not dispense money and my bank investigated, confirmed and then credited me. ATMs

The deck of the MBP is definitely warmer with RD idling in the background. Does it practically impact anything I'm working on? No. Does it tickle the OCD related neurons in my brain? Yes and I hate that. I just turn it on and off a

The Rancher Desktop VM with k8s enabled has about 10% continuous cpu usage at idle on my 2019 MBP. I really wish there was something I could do to reduce that.

I thought about going that route but ultimately decided to hijack .home internally for my home network.

The way I see it - as long as a healthy used car market exists there should really be no reason to have to pay the kinds of prices being asked for by dealers for new(er) vehicles.

vim-nox is pretty much full-featured vim without x11 stuff. Do you have a non-trivial .vimrc/.vim directory? Would you be accepting of the maintainer disabling a bunch of features and pushing those changes out under the main vim-nox pa

Gutting the functionality that upstream has built into a piece of software and then publishing it under the same name is dubious at best. If they want to go this direction they should publish as a fork under a different name so upstream do

Migrating will be a non-trivial amount of work per-system and I have no pressing need to do so until Windows 10 is actually close to its EOL date.

I still wonder if Microsoft is going to blink with the whole Windows 11 requires TPM + modern(ish) CPU requirements vs the EOL of Windows 10. I have a lot of hardware that will not run Windows 11 without hacking the installer to bypass the

Winget definitely has its warts but is useful enough for me that I use it almost exclusively now to install and update programs.

I was diagnosed with low serum levels of vitamin D so I take daily supplements. The general guidance for my condition is 1000 IU daily. At one point in time, I discovered I had been taking 5000 IU/day instead of 1000 IU/day for a

Brother used to be my go to as well but they have apparently started putting DRM checks in their toner/ink cartridges as well. I'm not aware of any brands now that aren't doing this.

Yes, I was asking about that and I'm very happy to see this exists now.

Yes, I'm aware that internally it is using floating point representation and that is one of the main reasons I avoid using it for anything math related. However, I am now aware that BigInt() exists so thanks for the link.

I tried to give zsh a shot as a bash replacement but ultimately returned to bash. My main pain point was that zsh was really difficult to configure out of the box and a lot of the completions were much slower (cpu/wall time) than the e
