Don't worry! We're moving away from automatic cameras, too. Soon, you'll just use ChatGPT to generate your vacation images on demand. I'm being a little hyperbolic, but it really seems like, for a non-insignificant porti

I would recommend reading the Freakinomics book or listen to their podcasts on drugs. TL;DR: drug cartels are run like businesses. They are very rational. But, unlike your boss, their boss can also shoot you in the face if you annoy them to

netcat, socat and openssl s_client are all available for general manual connection testing. As are many other tools. But the ones above are basically far better direct telnet alternatives.

If you miss that and long for the olden days, you can still do it today with OpenSSL’s sclient: openssl s_client -connect www.yahoo.com:443

There are many things I want to say in reply to this. So I’ll bullet point them: * yes, do not buy equipment that has acquired so much tech debt that it still requires telnet. * there are a million telnet clients out in the world. And ones

You really shouldn't trust the CPU maker. On Intel & AMD, both have a "hidden core" (i.e., a 4-core processor is really a 5-core processor), and they run proprietary, closed-source operating systems that literally no one

The problem with lights like that is the CRI[1]. Getting just lumens is cheap. Getting a full spectrum of light is where costs increase. This is the reason I chose to go with the specific Cree bulbs (linked in original post) that get a 90+

This is super interesting, and I'd actually be quite interested in buying a 60K-Lumen lamp... but not at $1200. Years ago, there was an HN article "You Need More Lumens"[1], which in turn led me down a rabbit hole. I ended up

I briefly looked over the PDF, but I'm not a lawyer. If I understand correctly, they're suing "DOES 1 through 10". So, I'm assuming they're hoping for a "default judgment" against Anna's Archive,

Foobar2000 is ... tricky through WINE. Though I will proudly say that I did it, it took a lot of research into obscure wine configs. These are my notes from last time I did it, maybe you'll find them helpful: ```bash export WINEP

I am so not understanding the purpose of this... If you need Docker CLI commands, isn't it just easier to use the CLI that you're already on? Docker is fully self-documented: / # docker Usage: docker [OPTIONS] COMMAN
