Anecdotally, I am seeing tonnes of EVs in Ireland these days, the majority being Hyundai, Nissan, MG and VW... But quite a few Tesla's too. VW is the least popular by the looks of it, and as someone who recently bought an EV, it's

Internet facing honeypots have a place in detecting threat actors in the "pre-attack" phase (see MITRE), but you need a more sophisticated methodology to filter out all the background noise from script kiddies. You may find that t

Your proven ability to finish what you start is one of the strongest signals employers look for. Finish your degree. Get a side hustle if you want more experience...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that startups should be investing spare cycles in automation moreso than documentation. Do you want a 100 page install guide or a fully automated install script? Which one is more likely to be

Thanks for the clarification. Indeed it is not open source in the truest sense, but I don't consider source-available to be closed-source. Especially when the main limitation seems to be a no reselling clause. This would not prevent mo

Security is not all or nothing. There are many applications where adding a small bit of friction in the form of compute will stop 99.9% of abusive traffic. Visual captchas are a plague on the internet, but so is Blockchain mania. I added Fr

Two more options: - Read the source code. NGinx is some of the cleanest C code I've seen and is fairly to read / grep for added insights. - Buy a license to get paid support. Be aware though that they won't support you if you

This is the wrong attitude. This is victim blaming. Expecting ordinary people to understand the bewildering array of plastic types, biofilms and composite materials is not realistic. Add to that deceptive packaging (like the infamous green

Yeah, I hope you didn't read to much into my comments. I am in favor of state run utilities... Just pointing out some problems I've seen... For sure the private sector are in bed with government and have their own problems with ba

I agree, and I would love to see more state managed, long term thinking enterprise. The problem I have seen first hand though is that we've somehow established that state worker = impossible to fire. I've seen teachers literally h

I'm sorry about your experience. Sounds bad, and to be honest I see echos of that in my city. But in my experience, briefly living in suburban/exurban MA and CT USA, I was hugely depressed by the experience and felt lonely, uninsp

I see quite a bit of golang talent out there actually, and crucially, golang is a quite "simple" small language to learn. At least enough to be productive... I picked it up in a couple of weeks. We transitioned many folks off pyth

You need to open your mind a bit. There is something in between the 50 storey apartment block and detached suburban sprawl. Liveable cities have 4-5 stories, wide footpaths, car-free squares where kids can be supervised at a distance but mo

Eh, just use the website? I have a short-cut to my Mastodon server on my phone homescreen. Better than some bulky app taking up space.

For things that are easily accessible, yes. they can be really handy and mitigate fire risk from e.g. cheapo chargers. Never switch off tv though, too much hassle. First time I visited the US i found the plugs and outlets shockingly flimsy

A local proxy in this analogy would have to be able to MITM the traffic... which is unlikely to work with an Alexa. I'd like to see the EU mandate customer configurable CA bundles, but I won't hold my breath! --- https:/&#x2

Most of my comments mention the fact that the escape hatch should be limited to certain use cases, such as local networks, certain TLDs etc... Tying the validation requirements and CA bundle to the TLD would be a useful strategy and would i
