I read an article a long time ago that drew a direct correlation between the need to contain/separate livestock in the American West and the battlefields of World War I. Basically, as settlers moved westward, they needed to contain the

Back in the mid 90s, I spent a full year migrating my company and ~800 users across six sites from Exchange to Notes. I had no experience with Notes, and absolutely hated it when I started the project. After a year of hacking, learning fro

+1000 for Trex!! I use it daily, thank you for creating it! I am impressed how it handles handwriting and crappy screen grabs.

The WTC towers were constructed to withstand a 1970s jet (707, DC-8, etc) that was on approach to JFK/LGA, hence at low speed and not full of fuel. This was not the scenario on 9/11.

Pretty simple, really. Pick a couple random files that should be in the repo, restore them from a random archive, check the md5sums against the source. If the md5sums don't match (or the file can't be found), something is wrong.

The fact that as a customer that is impacted by this, I only found out about it when my backups and automated test restore failed is worrying. I get that things happen, but not realising that this was going to be a service impacting event d

The process of data sonification can help scientists better identify patterns in complex data and create beautiful music for the public.

Their biggest miss was not hitting the fuel dumps and repair facilities. Taking out a few ships, even carriers, would be easy to replace. Wiping out the logistics support capability would mean that ships would have to return to the US wes

A strange game. The only winning move it not to play. Eventually, yes, device/software manufacturers will start using encrypted solutions, but until then, ya do what ya can do. Maybe the blocking solutions will evolve and adapt as we

If your blocking solution supports it, you can define per-client rules for what is routed to your blocker, or bypasses it. My work systems bypass everything and I route them to Quad9. If that breaks my work stuff, then the IT department ha

I recently upgraded to an ZenWiFi Pro XT12. Expensive, but I have zero wifi issues now, and with the Merlin firmware, nearly infinite control. The only downside of the XT12 is that there are no USB ports, so you cannot have external storag

+100 for NextDNS. Happy paying customer here. Aside from it just working, their mobile client is a fantastic thing. When I am off wifi, my phone routes DNS to NextDNS and I get the same adblocking when I am on cellular data.

That's like saying your seatbelt is uncomfortable so you don't wear it while you're driving. Don't take it off, find a solution to make it work. Use a better block list (OISD has been mentioned already), or use NextDNS.
