Oh man this is really cool. I have also written a Python infrastructure-as-code project ( https://pages.micahrl.com/progfiguration/ ), I really like the idea of using a programming language rather than a text document to

Right, that's expanding to the rest of the subnet in their old DC. They've since migrated to the new DC with new countermeasures. Did the DDOS follow and the countermeasures are working? Or if it didn't follow, why not? There

I am really curious if the DDOS tried to follow them to the new infra and failed to cause an outage or not. Apparently the perpetrator noticed when they got Cogent to narrow the null route, but the blog post notes they still can't acce

After googling, I don't think I've seen Japanese knot-wood before. I have woody stalks and long thin leaves. My layman's understanding is that what's in my yard is running bamboo.

My optometrist told me that any pair of glasses can be made to adjust the focal point, and that if I regularly wear my prescription glasses instead of contacts, I should also buy a pair of prescription glasses with adjusted focal point for

Bamboo definitely does. Anecdote: I live in Texas. We had ~10 feet of bamboo against our entire back fence, something like ~70 feet. Bamboo isn't native, but grows very fast and provides a lot of visual cover, which is nice. In past ye

Interesting finding. A tangent: even if this study is correct, there still may be value in certain nonprescription lenses for long computer use. I have glasses my optometrist suggested for long computer use, and they do block blue light, bu

I am a fan of using Cistercian for date stamps, with a glyph for the year, month+day, hour+minute. Like this: < https://me.micahrl.com/blog/cistercian-dates/ > I also made a little decimal to Cistercian transl

Oh interesting. I didn't realize they were soliciting submissions for those. That's a cool idea, I'll look into it, thanks. I'd probably have gotten the Moonlander if it was available when I got the ErgoDox, especially b
