Google's stock-in-trade is personal data. They use it to sell, and they use it to gather more data and to make data about that data. It's kind of scary. But Cloudflare's business model is different: they get rich by making th

My security self hates this idea, because a single point of failure is not a good design. How would the key be revoked if lost? Replaced? This seems to necessitate a CA-type infrastructure (like TLS certs). Not something I'm comfortabl

Thanks for the recommendation. Looks like it has a similar pricing model to Delphi, too.

Lots of dev tools do this with github, too. The idea of a web-wide sso is a bad one.

What's today's equivalent? Something that can produce native binaries for at least windows, mac, linux? The one I see pushed a lot is electron, and there are some cool ideas, but nothing stable that I know of.

I would normally go for raid 1 or 10, but the disks are of very different sizes. Range 300gb 15+-yr-old hdds to 2tb newer ones to 500gb ssds. Makes it hard to do proper mirroring, and too broke to buy new stuff.

Thanks, this is a great summary. Very good to know.

Interest is part of the issue, but $22 trillion is still $22 trillion. And yeah, there's lower interest. But it's still very, very hard to replay. In other words, interest comprises a few percent of the debt. The debt itself is a

I wonder if this could be done with LTSB? It's definitely better-suited to applications such as rpi (embedded etc.).

There's no reason to demonize companies that try not to pay tax they can legally avoid paying. Many of us do the same: take available deductions, possible tax harvesting (if we invest), etc. Companies are legally obligated to get the b

Unless someone is willing to take on the responsibilities of a legal adult (i.e. full criminal trial, jury duty, binding contract, ability to rent apartment, drink, get drafted, etc.), he should not acquire the corresponding rights. This is

Can anybody explain practical differences between btrfs, zfs, and xfs? I've used reiser in the past, but I understand maintenance is low these days. Curious to know pros and cons; considering which to use. This is for three purposes: o

I've got privacy concerns on any "smart" device, particularly one the internals of which I cannot access. I want a panel with ports, not a self-contained computer. I don't understand why manufacturers won't sell me

The market is small. Sad, but true. Joe average just doesn't care. I have this same issue with phones: I want something smaller, thicker, old cpu, cheap, really long battery life. It needs to do a few functions: play audio/video,

This was a massive issue the last time I looked at upgrading to a newer tv. I don't want the "smart" bs, because it wears out very quickly. So I'm still on a 20-year-old crt. Also, seriously: why is there no option to dr

Yeah, this is the general sense I got. Only useful if you already have a "smart home", which doesn't actually do very much. And music. But for music, some of us don't want to pay $9.99/mo for a bs streaming service,

I was considering buying one. Not any more. I don't have an alexa or google home or any other "smart" home device, and don't plan to get one. The hard part will be when they integrate such software into every appliance.

I suggest using manjaro. With some tweaks, works very well. And good compatibility out of the box.

I heard about this problem in the older models, but have had no such issue with the 9560 and 9570. 9550 was the one with the big problems, if I understand correctly (with a little in the 9560 too).

XPS 15 9570; very happy. Linux is imperfect but largely good; I use i3-gaps on manjaro. MacOS also works, if you're interested in hackintoshing, with 2 caveats: one, patching acpi tables is really hard (though I hear you can get help o

I've put MacOS on my 9570; works mostly well. Hard part is patching acpi tables. Oh, and you need a new wifi card.
