I learned the definition as 'Foreign Objects and Debris' when I was trained in the USAF in 2001, but I recently read an FAA document that used a different definition. I'm not sure there is agreement on what this acronym actua

It is my understanding that, after the loss of the Concorde, one of the resultant advisories mentioned an automated FOD detection system, which did not exist at the time. There are now multiple companies selling such systems, using radar an

I learned Perl as a first programming language, and to this day I maintain that their documentation is better than that of any other language I've tried. Putting a synopsis with example syntax at the very beginning is, IMO, the ideal.

FOD = Foreign Objects and Debris EFB = Electronic Flight Bag. A flight bag, traditionally, contains charts and checklists. EFB means you have a device that contains those documents 20 years ago, I was an avionics technician on F-16 fighter

I found this too. They mention this: Missing build dependencies must be installed manually as shown in our human-readable and versioned Dockerfile. I haven't been able to find any dockerfile that lists dependencies. My guess is

Sure I can. But it's not always that simple. Let's look at the repository for the software discussed in this thread [1] I see one dockerfile and 7 docker compose files (.yml) The dockerfile does not apparently do anything useful.

I disagree with the contention that docker makes installs more simple. I would argue that it only makes installs more simple if you are already setup with Docker, and only when things go 100% correctly. When I see a software application tha

I deployed this recently and added a bunch of pictures to it. PhotoPrism prominently features an AI-generated (?) 'description' on each photo, but for 98% of my photos, it was unable to come up with any description. The install pr

I believe this contains excerpts from the original transcript, at least. I'm not sure if this is the same document I read, but if not then it's close!

When that incident happened, Gitlab published an actual chat transcript of the incident response. It was a very interesting read. It had the real names of the engineers involved for the first 24 hours or so, then they anonymized it. At some

I have worked professionally with access control and surveillance. I can give you two manufacturer recommendations: Axis and Geovision. Axis cameras are high end and expensive, but they will, in my experience, do anything an IP camera could

A good real-world example of the consequences of this normalization is British Airways flight 5390 [1] This problem extended far beyond this one individual, who was merely a symptom. The entire Birmingham maintenance facility, and perha

Thanks for the tips. I do plan to self-host WIS. I only have a single GPU currently, on my home desktop, and I'm going to test with this. Next step is going to be looking into a standalone fanless GPU system and determining whether I w

Thanks for this, I've been looking forward to it. I used Amazon Echo devices during their first 6 months of public availability before I got sufficiently creeped out to pull the plug permanently. Since then, I've wished for someth

The dollar sign indicates that the share is 'hidden' and can't be enumerated by traditional means. The C$ share is created by default and provides root level access to the system drive, and is locked down by default for this

I've never seen the movie, but as a child, Battlefield Earth was one of my favorite novels. I read it maybe ten times before age 20. I think it's a fairly childish and simplistic novel, but it is VERY long, and that is what I was

I've done some reading out of curiosity. My best theory is that there are trailer brakes that are actuated from the 'bicycle' - I think that would make this feasible. But I'm also reading things that make me think I just

Actually, I chose LFS. I was building out a systemd-based LFS system, and I had fucked up on GPT vs MBR or something like that, so I binned it. That was like ten hours down the drain, and I felt discouraged, so I didn't retry LFS. I wa
