Having used both. If I look around I see Chef used less and less and Ansible more and more but that does not mean there is a valid path from Chef to Ansible when you way more than a trivial number of hosts. I'd say go from Chef to Salt

It is ironic that reddit achieved much of its success on the back of the complete failure of digg.com to recognise that the people who use your site don't want a bunch of radical changes shoved down their throat. We will probably see t

The popular Trezor wallet has a hardware vulnerability, where, if you physically have the hardware it can be exploited. Hardware wallets are a vast improvement but not without issues. Large scale fraud, where the money goes missing is much

Like the Coldcard wallet where you can choose to only transfer the transaction via an air gap on a MicroSD.

The well publiced Pexa fraud is an example. The money was wired off-shore and lost. https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/forward-planning/advice-...

While this is largely true, it is pretty common for large amounts of money to be irreversibly lost in an untraceable manner. Wirecard comes to mind this week but a simple search for 'financial fraud' will bring up typical losses m

One of the most incredible examples of this I have experienced was the update to the Android 'Pocket Casts' app. It worked great, had useful functionality and was easy to use and navigate. I had a paid version I thought was great

It seems to me gmail has not changed much in the last few years. Search is much the same but worse. The only change seems to be snippets that, for me, usually host some badly scraped content from another site with wrong answers but more eff

Some exchanges are refusing tumbled input. That said, it seems most of the time if you complain enough and provide more id they do anyway.

Me too. Now the malware links got pushed off the top. Maybe that is a good thing. There is something odd going on.

I'd vote they just delist news.com.au. It's a PIA when some search returns tags.news.com.au that is blocked by pihole. It's a cesspit of news biased news anyway. Sure, other newspapers are biased as hell and many just a voice

I have an ESP8266 running MQTT to make an alert on a speaker (I2C) on demand. I just looked at the counter I periodically send to MQTT. It has been up for over 200 days. It does not leak.

We had this issue down here in Australia with a firm called MSY. They refused to offer returns on defective products. That is not legal down here (we are somewhat like CA in terms of consumer protection) and the ACCC fined them $200K AUD. T

Is this a common thing in the US? I am from Australia and the cost for managing individual product returns is a cost of business, something you take into account when pricing. There is an insurance product called 'Product Liability&#x2

Actually, that fertilizer is not an Orica product. It is a knock-off with a slightly misspelled but similar name. That said, if it was the result would have been the same. The problem was not the product. If you follow safe handling and sto

I have had a pixel 3a since they came out. I noticed recently the battery life seems to have been improved with a firmware update. At the end of the day I used to have 30% and now I have 60% with what seems to me no change in use. Just anec

While this is true of programs like Rhino, it's not as true for fusion360. There are no NURBS in fusion360. I would guess that the fusion360 kernel is very focussed on deterministic solutions, specially being constraint based, where t

I loved the price but the guy at that store was the grumpiest guy ever. That said he was really nice too. He even gave me a few writeable CDs from an open stack when I tried to buy some and they didn't sell them anymore

From what I have seen, the excessive topological frameworks on top of JSON have never really take off. There have been many schema systems available for 10 years now but for some reason everyone seems to fall back to accepting basic JSON. T

Any significant system will take months to learn. Your statement is probably only true for some trivial system. A senior engineer comes with years of experience designing and coding systems that took years to develop and run at scale. Given

My initial training was in aviation ground electronics. I could still design and build a superhet AM receiver from scratch and build from the parts in my workshop here. I am well aware of how immensely complicated the cell-phone system is.

This assumes everyone has an AM radio. I don't have one in this household at all. I have no reason whatsoever to own one. It's not much use having an emergency transmitter when no-one has a receiver and even then, it's not ru

Quite a lot of non metals can conduct electricity. Even Oxygen has a solid phase (ζ-phase <- hope that renders), where oxygen is pretty much a conducting metal. Edit: ps, if you compress it more and cool it, even oxygen becomes a super c
