These recent posts about Ubiquiti have made me look again at MikroTik. Their hardware is more affordable than I had remembered. Is there any good intro to their hardware - there are certainly a lot more options than you get with Ubiquiti. E

That’s a pretty interesting device - inexpensive enough that maybe I could justify having it on my fridge.

This was one of the big reasons my newest phone is an iPhone, not an Android phone. I am tired of buying new hardware every 2-3 years just to have a secure device.

I understand that centralised CAs are not ideal, but how is HTTPS by default any worse than plaintext?

Self-signed certificates seem reasonable in this context - unless I’m missing something.

What do you mean by this? A cloud provider can always choose to not run a VM, how would we provide censorship proof compute?

How would you know to trust the platform you are running on without some sort of hardware key and attestation? You need to be able to determine from your guest that you are running in this confidential environment rather than in some emulat

Rsync.net looks great but the storage cost is 5x B2 unfortunately EDIT: As mentioned below this is for the most expensive (lowest capacity) tier. I’d been comparing for my own home use and so I would be unlikely to exceed 10TB but if you’re

Caffeine dependence isn't much fun either - whilst I don't know of any long term health impacts, the severe headache when you miss a caffeinated drink in the morning sucks.

I don't think Vancouver is as bad as you make it out to be. No, you will not make the same money here as in Seattle, it's often something like a 1/3rd pay cut. That is not a bad income however, it is easily enough to rent and

Work at MS, that term has been used for a long time internally, certainly longer than I have worked here. It really is very useful to be able to go find the code for a product when you want to understand how something works.

Whilst a majority in your case (and that of Discord) may prefer dark, I wonder if it’s more complicated that that. I use light mode everywhere. I like some others have mentioned have astigmatism and I find dark mode only tools much harder t

I've been tempted but I do use some of the smart features on my Apple Watch. It's a tough tradeoff.

Gotcha. I store photos on a NAS so I only ever have one or two SD cards worth locally (~100GB). My git directory is pretty similar.

The new compute module would work but the issue with the SoC on the Raspberry Pi is that it's not terribly low power. You'd do better with something from Qualcomm, MediaTek or Allwinner that's designed for mobile use.

What stack are you using that you find the 512GB limit to be a problem? I've picked up one of the 16/512 MBPs and am wondering if I should swap it for a 16/1TB MBA, or maybe MBP but I have a little while to decide.

FFI can work - P/Invoke with C# for example doesn't care if you're cross compiling or not, but it comes at the cost of needing a definition of the interface in your code. Windows makes cross compiling work by shipping the lib

The ARM version crashes for me every time I change something in the settings UI, otherwise it seems to work okay.

The DTK did reveal one interesting detail though. It didn't support virtualisation which would indicate that the M1 is their first generation part with virtualisation support, so there definitely have been some fairly large changes, ev

The BitWarden extension appears to be completely broken, though I'm not sure if that's an M1 issue or a Big Sur issue, I don't have an Intel Mac to compare. So I'm stuck copy and pasting my passwords from another tab. Bl

I have seen an interesting point raised elsewhere. macOS on ARM will be able to run iOS apps (assuming the author doesn’t opt out). That means that a lot of the uses of electron or similar may no longer be needed. Slack, Spotify, etc. Some

I don’t think I agree. This is still a great choice if you need a container registry for your images that you run on Digital Ocean compute - as far as I can tell there is no bandwidth charge there. This means that DO has a total container h

I really wish they just used a (SO)DIMM slot but there we go. Still tempted to get one, the dual NICs and FPGA fabric could make an interesting network gateway. I’d wonder what throughput you could get if you used the FPGA for routing and m

The promise of ARM based Macs is delaying my next laptop purchase for a single reason - battery life. I want to see the battery life metrics of their new devices, depending on that I intend to decide.

I have found this in the U.K., Canada, Japan and Taiwan - OpenStreetMaps is way better as a pedestrian or a cyclist in my experience, at least in relatively built up areas.
