When I was in office, I had a lot of trouble working even though I am most productive while body doubling. The overhead lights, the random interruptions from people that know you or want something from you . . .. After I got to campus, I

This was a common way to do things before the telcos in the USA were deregulated in the 2000s and 2010s. At the time it was both internet and telephone but due to the timing of de regulation, it never really took off with real high speed i

They don’t need anything else though. Technological advancements helps society as a whole but if you have more money that you could ever spend who cares? You can buy another countries tech if it benefits you or just move.

It’s all spelled out in the project 2025 doc that was widely publicized as the game plan. Also, trump was impeached last time because he tried to shut down funding approved by congress. So, if you’re surprised it’s happening again, I suppo

Systemd systems can still have grub as a boot loader. In that case, you can usually set the boot order with bootctl and reboot.

It was also in a time where not everything got recorded. You have to think that having cameras everywhere and much more complex package tracking systems like we do now would have made staying hidden quite a bit harder.

lol, those videos of the NYPD ‘searching’ Central Park look like my kids looking for a homework assignment they don’t want to turn in. Until the FBI got involved I thought he was pretty much off the hook.

The problem is that you cannot guess which users are working to fly completely under the radar because of their specific threat profile.

I find adding dynamic dns entries to my firewalls much more efficient and to have a more meaningful protection value. A timed job that checks the up of your clients and updates the firewall every 30 seconds seems a much more secure method t

One thing that I often see when I look at these companies is that we’ve reached a point where we don’t really need everyone to work 40+ per week. But, the people with money are willing to spend a mint to make sure that the most capable are

Not entirely, what I mean is more that a lot of companies, even ‘disrupters’, are really just figuring out how to be a middle man of something that is already happening and taking a cut. A lot of the products genuinely kinda suck, and it ju

I’m going through this right now, I used to be a carpenter and a farmer. About 15 years ago, I went into tech to pay for kids in the city. To some extent most of the jobs I find in tech seem to me to be societal busy work. And the people t

My assumption is that when you have graceful failure for something like this, you risk a situation where someone figures out how to make it gracefully fail, so no it's disabled on this huge fleet. It's likely that there have been

If you are the lte network, it gets a little tough to do oob that way, especially if you’re basically a monopoly in many service areas.

As far as I'm concerned, I use setuid/sudo for auditing. At this point, I don't really do multi-user/multi service boxes. Almost everything I have that's multi-tenant at this point is k8s and you can just use kube

To be fair, our school of engineering has moved from parsing payroll and accounts payable and is now controlling physical objects and their interactions with the physical world, so, its probably time to start taking things seriously like ou

I write a lot of dev ops type stuff so I ship a lot of smaller things as a rule. But, I have adopted a ship every day rule for myself, which can often keeps me from yak shaving, which is actually a direct combat for my ADHD deep dive tenden

Split washers only work in a relatively narrow torque band. If I can't use a torque wrench, I'll use a lock nut or loctite. There are very few applications where a split washer adds much value.

but, not the service of enlarging the contact surface of the bolt or screw head. Actually, they only perform a tiny fraction of the crucial services performed by washers and can be replaced by loctite in almost all situations, so, I'd

To be fair, accidents and large health issues are relatively predictable in any population. What makes health insurance particularly predatory, is the attempt to carve around segments of the population to make money in something that everyo

However, being sold something like health insurance as hedging risk is bullshit. There is no risk in needing to provide healthcare to a population, its a given, though its not always equal cost per person. However, something like crop insur
