Less maintenance on my own kit after spending a day maintaining some else’s kit. Linux userspace is utter chaos. When I’m pricing out lumber or other personal projects, I don’t want that held up by any number of fresh in memory Linux what

I think the issue ends up being the Linux desktop experience makes one need to fix their own shit after a long day of fixing other people's shit. That's one thing about MacOS, I can leave the driving to someone else. Increasingly

Aluminum conductors are dangerous unless the entire system is designed for it. It is not a case of switching to something cheaper. Look at the electrical fires of the 1950’s and 1960’s as an example, and that was at household levels of cur

C’mon people, act like adults. Your community and your customers care far less than you think. If truly inexcusable behavior has ensued, there are better ways to handle it. An entire profession exists to resolve them.

New fiber provider across town does CGNAT and no IPv6. I guess that works for most people except gamers and people who get rate limited because of the actions of others. Article is correct, IPv4 didn’t die hard.

Great advice if you don’t need a smartphone. Many do, they are now an identity tool. The alternative to Apple is…Google? How is that in any way better other than not being Apple? Sure, there are de-Googlefied versions of Android and toda

They most certainly are. Large ISPs use Nokia Deepfield or Kentik for network monitoring, observability and user metrics. Both work due to volumes of metadata from net flows and DNS. My gut tells me the broken intercept is a Nokia product

(Tired quip “you must be new here”) Yes, it is tiring. In this case, not really because it is at least for me, humorous in a Doc Martin sort of way. But elsewhere and on places like Reddit where the pedantry is often at best unjustified a

Yes. The moment you must show allegiance to a sitting president, your rights to free speech have been abridged. I am sure there are many more examples.

I had my prostate removed six weeks ago due to Gleason 8 score cancer. The pathology revealed an aggressive cancer. My prostate was not enlarged, my PSA at the end was 4.2. Only because my doctor was overly cautious about the slope of the

The JVM is awful. In 2025, it still arm wrestles with the OS on which it runs for memory management and still completely loses its shit should the OS decide to send any portion of its precious memory allocation to swap. The language, is be

It took forty years for the country to begin atonement for the hardships inflicted on its own citizens during WWII, and forty years after that discussion began, we’re again talking about interment camps. We make mistakes and learn nothing f

That kind of diagnosis profoundly changes you, I know after having two cancer diagnoses in a year. For him, it may be bad, or it may be just realizing either outcome, time is short.

A failsafe method is to create a vlan with a gateway that is the VPN. Using Linux routing tables, the vlan device routes to the wgX as the gateway. If the VPN app dies, there isn't a route to the internet for hosts on the vlan. As fa

Assuming CGNAT, sure, it is the ISPs problem. But that just underscores the utility of IPv6 where defective CGNAT results in a hair pulling experience for the customer. Things don't get forwarded, and there isn't a thing you can

What I need to know is, does it come with Solitaire using the “Giants of Computing” card deck? Because if it does, that is worth it right there. We ran QNX for ASI statistical multiplexing in TV. I would always fire up a game while waiting

Sideload? I have five apps that get regular updates via DMGs, two of which are unsigned and do not meet Apple’s sandbox requirements. All I have to do is authorize them to install in settings. You and I can agree on Apple’s App Store power

You raise an interesting issue to which I offer just ONE counterpoint. That is, a 555 circuit often requires external circuits that involve useful theory beyond basic circuits. I’m thinking RC timing and voltage dividers. These have pract

The issue Congress is missing isn’t AM radio, it is the willful RFI pollution by Ford and Tesla. These motors should not be causing the issue because if they block AM reception in that car, they’ll do it for all cars around them.

It is not useless nitpicking, it is the sole reason of your argument why the 300 meter band covers more area than the 3 meter band.
