I totally understand where you are coming from and my personal take is LLMs are to "stuff" as a drill driver is to a screw driver. They are a tool, just a tool. ... bear with ... I over floored several rooms in my house (UK, &#x2

"which nouns are Nouns, and which are just nouns" English (int al) distinguishes "proper" nouns as a subset of nouns. A proper noun is a name and is capitalized. Hence you might write: King Charles is a king. Now, you

There will always be issues on something a mad as putting some people on a firework and shooting them at a moving target 100,000 miles away from a moving platform. The heat shield failure was a test and the result was a working heat shield,

My impression back then from those profs was that it (fusion) would be inevitable but you do have to think long term, really long term. I'm old enough now (55) to understand that mentality. I'd put money on something useful fusio

I think we are a long way along from digging out Dr Feynman to look into why a shuttle exploded. Unless you happen to have some deep links into NASA, in which case please elucidate us all, then why not celebrate a happy and safe return from

A relative presided over a couple of court martials (1) in the past. Modern usage has largely disconnected it from the past, grammatically (if that is even a thing, except to the true minutaephile)! (1) https://www.gov.uk/g

40 years ago (at school) I generally wrote in ink - edged and straight nibs, blue and black ink because I liked it. I learned several formal styles as well as my idiosyncratic efforts. I did have biros and fibre tips etc available. I had

No need for "a" in "a CPE" (Customer Premise Equipment - its singular and plural inclusive already) - you wasted a character there 8) IPv6 support is not required for a router. You'll note they also fail to offer I

Fair enough and I think you have done the right thing - opnsense is pretty decent - and the clear delineation between collision domains helps avoid showing too much ankle to the internet 8) I think your initial setup was perfectly valid. Th

DNSSEC and DNS-01 challenges might do the trick at the cost of significant effort, provided LE could be directed to check, similar to the way MTA-STS works.

“does the lead developer prefer cheddar or brie” Quite right but given I live in Somerset (UK) I can have both: Cheddar is in Somerset and where the eponymous cheese originated and quite a lot of brie is produced here too - it's not t

Taken to a hallucinated but logical conclusion, we might define a word such as "cene" to riff off of "meme" and "gene". The c is for code. If adopted we could spend forever arguing how the c is pronounced and

I've spent quite some time on this stuff. acme.sh is my recommendation for Linux and anything else that runs a BASH or similar (pfSense has a glorious integration for it) and Simple ACME for Windows. Both support dynamic DNS with CNAM
