Really? "There's a blown-down tree here"... "Someone ran into this lamp post"... "This traffic sign has been vandalized"... "There's someone parked on the grass"... That's all without v

Well, self-driving buses are definitely more likely to happen than self-driving general-purpose vehicles (due to buses already having predefined routes and often dedicated infrastructure), but which problem are we trying to solve here, exac

Phishing. Regular visits to these domains will 301 redirect them to you, but there's at least one URL that will instead be handled by the scammers themselves. They'll then send out an email campaign with a From: address in the cou

Yeah, huge surprise. Have you ever tried to report a technical issue to a Big Tech company, like, at all? If so, 'silence' is the best you can expect, with 'a threatening letter' and 'a SWAT visit' being the

So, nothing to do with the nationality of the founder-as-prominently-mentioned-in-the headline, but... cultivated meat seems, actually, to be getting pretty good! I mean, it's pretty much everywhere already in pet food, where source-

Yeah, so, any chance you could do a monthly-or-so post that explains, in legal terms (of course!) why referring to an entire, diverse bunch of people as "H1Bs" (which, as you know, is just a visa class and pretty much, as you

Yeah, because... most people don't care about these attacks? Because, well, and bear with me here, if they did , they would have set a darn PIN?

Sure.

TL;DR, like all secure-boot disk-encryption outrage-bait articles of late: if you're really concerned about any of this, set a TPM PIN and/or explicit disk encryption password.

A 'team', by definition, consists of more people than 'you.' And, by the time a '#githelp team' is formed, it's to address patterns to which there are known solutions. One of the many problems with Git, is

OK, so you've truly screwed up your your personal/small-team repos to the point of requiring poorly-understood command sequences from the Notoriously Reliable Internet more than once? I applaud you for your honesty, but... Really?

Yeah, please don't create sites like this. Just... don't. Any, and I mean any "in case of a Git problem, just do this " recipe is wrong , often in very subtle ways. So, my advice: in case of a Git problem, contact th

As far as I can tell, Oxide is all about compute, not storage -- i.e., as long as you can guarantee a stable storage layer, your Oxide racks will be fine. VMware used to go a bit further, in that they allowed your compute nodes to fail and

Well, the Enterprise-hypervisor market is certainly wide open right now, due to Broadcom turning the financial screws on VMware customers hard . There are, broadly, two categories of potentially-profitable VMware customers up for grabs:

As far as I can tell, Software Defined Networking (which this is about: "P4 is a domain-specific language for network devices") by now is pretty much a decade-old promise that never materialized. I'd still love to be wrong th

I don't think I posted any flamebait, and if I inadvertently did, it was motivated by psychological science, not partisanship. But I've removed anything that would be controversial, I think?

Yeah, I just tested this, and you're right. Going to google.com and entering solveyourtech as a search term, did indeed still return their site as a result. On clicking it, uBlock blocked my visit, but that may or may be not enough for

So, if you already run uBlock Origin (and of course you are), you can use this list without installing any additional extensions by going to 'Filter lists' in the uBlock settings, then Import, then enter https://raw.git

Providing service to sparsely populated rural areas is a good fit for Starlink, but doesn't justify the astronomical cost of the system: they need the "I got rid of Comcast and life has never been better" crowd for that, and

This was exactly my reaction to OpenTelemetry. Creating an HTTP endpoint that publishes metrics in a Prometheus-scrape-able format? Easy! Some boolean/float key-value-pairs with appropriate annotations (basically: is this a counter or

This is slightly misleading, as most Internet access in African countries is via mobile phones, not 'traditional' in-home connections. That being said, it would be interesting to see what happened if all of, say, Lagos (fastest-gr
