   Don't most of the more popular aircraft have STCs that allow them to run on automotive gas?

   I'm guessing the goal is to lock down git's security for any potential future vulnerability. If some security issue was discovered with git that could be exploited with a malicious .git directory structure, requiring git directori

   At a job many, many years ago I asked a developer on a different team (across town) to email me an XML file I needed for a feature I was working on. After a few hours of not getting anything I checked with him and he said the file was too l

   Sometimes I think it would have been cool to have gotten into supporting something really obscure like that at an early stage in my career. A near-guaranteed contract renewal as long as the system wasn't replaced. If it was to be repla

    Is that the precursor to the Linus Torvalds quote? “Only wimps use tape backup. REAL men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.”

    I wasn't aware of that, pretty cool. Now if only there was some way to have that ansible repl create roles or tasks based on the commands I run through that repl. Kinda how script[1] works. [1] https://www-users.cse.umn.edu&

    Does anyone know of a way to run uBlock Origin as an HTTP(s) proxy? I'd really like to be able to provide uBlock Origin style functionality to mobile and other browsers on my network that can't easily run uBlock. Historically priv

    It's quite common, at least in the US (where I have most of my experience). It's generally not scary, pilots coordinate with each other on the radio, announcing their intentions. There are, however, some pilots who seem to not mak

    I think "con man" is a bit too strong, but he does have a history of making promises that either slip significantly (misses deadlines by years) or end up not playing out at all. There are various reasons I can imagine for that, fr

    I've come very close to buying a Framework laptop a few times, but I'd only want to run Linux on it and wasn't sure how well it was supported. How are things like wifi, sleep and battery life under Linux?

    You can even do this with pure HTML, no CSS or JavaScript! Server-side processing sometimes seems underutilized and forgotten.

    Another option is a VPN as a service solution like tailscale. Tailscale does a lot of work to get around NAT and has some great articles on their blog about it. https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works/

    I'm amazed that buildings tolerate this kind of stress, or maybe I underestimate how accurately they can apply equal pressure to rotate the building safely.

    That's a useful feature of the BeagleBone. When I originally built my clock with a Raspberry Pi I used a GPS with a PPS line and hooked that into one of the Pi's GPIO lines. I could get the Pi's clock synced to the GPS very a
