No idea who NDT is, but I'm kind of afraid that doing something like a Mars mission too early will turn out having the opposite effect. With the tech available for a soon-ish to launch Mars mission, chances are pretty high that somethi

And that system to be absolutely safe. Imagine a 9/11 scenario, but with thousands of remotely hijacked planes.

I believe the Pi is also pretty much the only sensible choice for GPIO support on Linux.

There are so many subtly different smallish x86 systems though that finding one that's cheap, power-efficient, fast, extensible, reasonably quiet and well supported on Linux is pretty difficult. At least to me.

Power play for devs who don't get to do that very much otherwise. Only 80% /s.

Definitely, Germany strongly believes that a document that hasn't been a physical piece of paper at least once can't be real. That makes for folders upon folders of documents and it's actually worse than back in the 20th cent

SIP is a useful bit of extra security that doesn't cause any other issues for me, and there's no need to disable it for encrypted volumes either if I use anything but VeraCrypt.

Last time I checked you had to disable System Integrity Protection for it to work on Apple Silicon. Hard no for me, using macOS's encrypted sparse bundle disk images now.

I was able to get my old copy of Lightroom 4 to work using UTM to run Windows 11 ARM, then using Windows' equivalent of Rosetta to run the x86 Lightroom. Big fan of UTM, such a breath of fresh air coming from VirtualBox.

Make it very modular and have little robots scurry over with a replacement module if one gets hit by a micrometeorite or otherwise fails.

I mean, it is a very neat and easy-to-use platform at this point with relatively good privacy. I hope that doesn't entirely go away and I hope Apple will move some of the restrictions they make in the App Store into the OS. I really li

Do these cross the blood-brain barrier? I suppose if the worm has made it into the brain they would have to?

NATS ( https://nats.io/ ) is another option, though I'm not sure if it's still considered a viable Kafka replacement.

gron gives you both the complete key and value in a single line (which you then grep). Directly grep-ing a specific column in a CSV file isn't very straightforward.
