Hmm... Looks like Mazda also has something similar. Mazda Radar Cruise Control. I wonder if I can get it set up on my car....

Yep, he definitely deserves it. The second biggest reason I chose Ansible over Puppet was that he answered my questions directly. There's nothing quite like having the founder of a project help you directly that really inspires confide

Has anyone made a TACC add on for normal cars? The self-driving stuff I'm reserving judgement on, but a cruise control that would let me automatically match the speed of the car in front of me would be awesome. I've wanted one for

It's impossible to have meaningful conversations with that kind of limit. You end up having to use "1/N" over and over again. That limit has always left me wondering how Twitter even got started...

I shared this because it touches on the subject of blocking outgoing ports. I was hoping it had been shared already and there'd be some interesting comments on the subject. So, how would blocking outgoing traffic help secure a server?

It's been a few years since my last C++ class, and I haven't done any compiled programming since. So I either completely forgot about static linking, or it just didn't get covered. Why have I seen several go apps that use sta

So, if Go is as bad as the comments so far make it out to be, what are some alternative languages? Specifically, a compiled language that can be deployed without worrying about dependencies. That's the feature that has had me looking i

Just as an example app. Basically, use S3 the same way you use an in house SAN. Also, if I remember correctly, S3 integration is per account, and only if you enable the external file storage app. It wouldn't let you store all data on S

How well would this work for something like pointing OwnCloud storage at? Most of my cloud experience is with an internal vmware cluster, so I'm not sure how to evaluate something like this.

Hopefully he posts updates about his unanswered questions. Since it sounds like the compromised key should not have been able to create ec2 instances. And I don't blame him for making that mistake. That kind of bug should have been cau

I have been wondering about a separate firewall box. I asked [0] on the OPNSense forums if it could do what I want, but haven't had a response. Nor have I felt up to experimenting on a vm (due to sickness). [0] https://forum

I did not know Debian didn't have fixed lifetimes for Stable. Though they do have some form of LTS. [0] I do find it odd that the Debian Security team doesn't manage it. Part of my RedHat dislike is unfamiliarity. But when I sit d

Other comments have touched on most of the reasons why Ubuntu is a good choice, or why it would be a bad choice in some situations. For me, it was the OS I was used to. And, as I've had to deploy a few CentOS and OES servers as well, I

After clicking around the demo and skimming most of the docs, I have a couple questions. First, I'm still unclear on how urls work. For example, can I host a multiple wordpress blogs at multiple domains? Like jerrac.tld, foobar.tld, an

YNAB is definitely a good product. I use it, and got my brother and parents to use it as well. My only complaint is that I'd rather not rely on a third party like dropbox for sync, and I'd like a Linux version.

Yes, from [1], I would never support return free filing. The tax code is far too complicated, and the IRS far too inept for me to trust that they would not screw my taxes up. That said, if we went to a flat tax, or a national sales tax, or

No. The article said nothing about private efforts. It was advocating government regulation. By self-regulation, I mean something like a set of guidelines multiple trucking companies voluntarily sign on to. Or employment contracts. Not just

The hard part is that it often seems like you "have" to drive at times. I'm a single guy living alone, so when my fridge is empty, I "have" to get food. Even when tired or sick. Sure I could use public transportatio

Driving while tired can be as dangerous as driving drunk. The occasional 14hr drive isn't horrible, but if you do that several days in a row, you're going to be really tired. So limiting the hours per day a truck driver drives see

No idea, but I'm guessing the percentage of votes that positive. Or something related to that.
