These terminal character boxes remind me of the DOS days.. lots of programs such as the library access program used these and I used to use them in my QBasic programs.

This was a great read and introduction with great practical examples, great graphics and bpf tracing. I loved it.

anecdotally it seems to be a combination of using the phone while plugged in and it bends sitting against you/the table/etc (or pulling it tight).. and not plugging and removing the cable by the connector but pulling on the cable.

You generally need an Ethernet based VPN which you can do with openvpn. Otherwise Avahi has a mode to allow reflecting (mdns traffic between two interfaces) on point to point interfaces and if you run that on the VPN server it may let mdns

Something often not accounted for is these stores offer gift cards at much higher payment fee rates (seemingly at least 10%). And you need to avoid a scam where developers just syphon that through. I believe at least some of the time they a

Look up "Short Throw Laser Projectors" it's somewhat possible with funky optics depending on how much distance you can afford.

We're still doing that in the traditional web hosting industry.. while many are using cPanel and just scaling out X customers per server at my company since 2007 and earlier we've done this using linux and load balancers for a lon

AUD $220 (~USD $145) per month base price for 300 members heading up into the thousands? That's $8.80 AUD per year per member, many such organisations have annual membership fees in the $5-$50 range in my experience which would put tha

These kinds of instant edit UIs are largely a terrible idea but really caught on at some point. Glad to see one of them going away.

This is exactly it and it’s becoming more and more common. I have noticed that the password field is just hidden on some sites (as opposed to added or on the next page) and lastpass manages to fill it so once the JavaScript reveals the fiel

Part of the problem is that you usually need a lot more Apache workers to process static file requests. But limit the number of expensive PHP invocations This was pretty much not easily possible (with suphp, mod_php) until FPM which has a p

Spanning Tree is under-rated :) Although I read a twitter thread earlier where someone did this and they had spanning tree which in theory prevents this but the switch had some kind of bug causing it to crash and reboot right after disablin

Discord is nice with this and if your desktop goes idle without you reading messages it then pushes them to your phone. It’s one of the best features I haven’t seen in many other products. Particularly as it mutes your mobile notifications

Aren't the FCC in the US pretty strict about requiring you to specifically tag paid material? This could just as easily be paid advertising as a joke (zoom is getting most of the news cycle for 'meetings' atm, so it's th

A good trick to combine with this is ControlSockets.. you can have multiple SSH/SCP connections over the same actual SSH connections. And starting a new SSH over the existing connection is much faster than the initial connection partic

It can sometimes be a much simpler issue. For example twice a connector came off on my 2012 MacBook Pro that meant it wouldn’t power on. Both times Apple reseated it for me for free. Although sadly Apple stores aren’t open right now. With r

Until only a couple of months ago, the iOS app required you to click through each creator to see their posts only. There was no central news feed like the website and the most obvious way to consume such content. They -finally- fixed this a

While I agree with you that this aspect of Mac app installation is confusing (especially with Safari where your download just disappears into the top right toolbar) - they need to have figured that out before getting this far into the insta

I'm loving this series from ARS, another great one about Crash Bandicoot where apparently they needed extra RAM so selectively overwrote the sony libraries in RAM with their own data, by experimenting which areas were needed on whether

Why do you say Facebook has the means to mitigate this quite easily? That's not really true as I understand it. The problem is that these announcements are made by third parties, and accepted by fourth parties, both of which Facebook h

For what it’s worth you can just rename the github repo into another project and it will setup a redirect. You can also add maintainers while it’s inside your namespace.

I've been wanting to get it to execute the bonjour conformance test on linux so I can do CI of Avahi against it. I didn't have any luck last time might be worth a look again.

You can actually do this on linux pretty easily but it's not the default, it's sometimes called "source routing" Easy to setup with netplan and systemd-networkd, a little more complex to do manually.

I realise that this is a bit of a special case.. OK it's a really special case. But it's a bit of a shame not to see it actually merging back up stream though I'm very glad they did some work to make the fork easier to mainta
