If you interpret the term literally, then yes. However that's not the correct approach when dealing with terms of art like 'security through obscurity.' Wikipedia describes the term as it's actually used (emphasis mine)

If your IRCd allows an unauthenticated connection to start spamming like that, changing the port so a browser can't do it is just wallpapering over the real problem. Anybody that cared to could just use any other software to spam your

Anybody actively monitoring their sshd logs would see clear value in changing the port. It dramatically raises the S/N of those logs.

Uh, that doesn't make much sense. If you point a browser at an IRCd it will simply not work. Where's the security issue?

I semi-seriously believe that addiction to connectivity and low ping times is the "great filter." When push comes to shove very few people would be willing to move to Mars because the internet there will be terrible.

The best superhero movie, Dredd, is British. > Greeters in stores? Quintessentially walmart. Can't say I've seen any other store do that.

"Somebody will loot it, so it may as well be us" ? If that's the best we can do, maybe we should stop looking for them in the first place. Let the corpses lay in peace, our modern approach to this lacks dignity.

At least microwaves with digital controls actually have full numpads. Every digital-control oven I've ever had the misfortune of using only has increment/decrement buttons. Want to set the oven to 450F? Have fun pressing the in

Things like this make me glad I'm not an audiophile. What you describe seems very annoying, but thankfully I've never noticed anything like it.

Custom low volume parts are more expensive than off-the-shelf parts, who knew. Looks like they've since found a low cost alternative.

It's amusing that you think $100 for a toilet is wasteful, when that's about as much as a cheap toilet would cost at Home Depot. I don't think you've ever bought a toilet if you think that's too much to spend on

The shitty franchises are the ones that are most likely to survive. Does anybody really think McDonalds or Subway is imperilled? They'll do fine. But the independent burger shop I used to enjoy will probably never come back.

Not so simple if the original developer is dead, MIA, or uncooperative. I think this is a clear deficiency of git and many other VCSs, which fossil avoids. It's clear that bug reports and commits will frequently cross-reference each o

> not a single website will work with xhr disabled That's total nonsense. I browse with uMatrix blocking everything by default and I rarely need to enable xhr to make a site work. Most of the time it's only used to bloat

I've heard that American soldiers in Vietnam sometimes cooked their food by lighting pieces of C4 on fire. I'm not sure if that's historically accurate but it should be possible at least; as you say you need something like a

mpv plays youtube links and many other websites (although not netflix or spotify to my knowledge) using the excellent youtube-dl. For my purposes it is more than sufficient, but as I said it won't be for everybody. As to why I don&#x2

Who said anything about illegal? The Taiwanese government knows the importance of TSMC. If the rumors are true, the explosives would be there because the government wanted it.

If you don't want a Google device on your LAN and are willing to put in a little bit more work for that, I've found that remotely controlling an instance of mpv over the JSON IPC interface works well for me. I can send it URLs fr

Sometimes tribal/"team sport" group dynamics keep employees inline too. Executives can foster an "us against the world" mentality that blinds workers to that which is obvious to everybody else. When in this mind

In the right context, the generation of ozone is a feature because ozone can penetrate into cracks and whatnot that are shadowed from the UV itself. I do wonder how much you'd need for this to be truly effective though.

I'm no biologist, but isn't DNA used for more than just reproduction? I'm under the impression that a living organism uses it's own DNA to guide the synthesis of various proteins needed by the organism to continue livin
