This looks like a very viable solution for hobbyists, which has me interested in trying it out and I intend to do so. Some feedback on your landing page: your "Frequently asked billing questions" on the bottom of the pricing page

I have found that the industry for the production of extracts that go in these cartridges is very widespread, sometimes operating in plain site. For example, I bought a very large (15 gallon) vacuum chamber system directly from a US-based v

My team and I had a blast the first year this came out. Definitely recommend participating in this, even if you’re not familiar with more traditional security CTF challenges. These challenges tend to draw from the broad set of engineering s

Very much off topic from the article, but I've always found modern South Korean culture to be very interesting. Is there a resource or book that lends more insight into today's mentality/zeitgeist of South Korea?

I don't have the most optimistic outlook for this having any impact, but I really hope this sets a precedent for limiting the use of dark patterns with which companies try to tie your identity to a phone number. I think the total sum f

I'm aware of i3 and I think I've tested it out in the past but had some silly nit to pick about it. Thanks for the reminder - I'll give it another try!

The woman who develops Dashy is incredibly talented, and is extremely responsive to issues and pull requests for this project. Take a look at the pipelines she has added to the GitHub repository- it’s almost ridiculous the amount of automat

Fancy Zones makes my day-to-day so much more convenient. I wish there was an equivalent in Linux that worked as well - I’ve tried a few gnome plugins but always been disappointed.

I’ve used scapy for years and found it especially useful when performing internal penetration tests. It has useful patterns for tasks like quickly putting together a custom DNS server, UDP source spoofing, walking all ICMP codes (or a quick

I believe the OLED version has a glossy, glass screen. I ended up going with the matte 1080p screen for both of my X1 generations. It works quite well in bright daylight from my experience, but will still have some glare.

Absolutely love the X1 series. I use it as a daily driver running Linux and can vouch for some of the points made in this thread about them.

You're absolutely correct about the Windows ACL system. The discretionary access control system in Windows can easily be subverted by a poorly configured dynamic access control policy. Windows is not a single-user OS. Even a standard &

I’ve been a huge JetPens fan for years. Something about the over-engineering makes it almost hobby-like to collect these pens and pencils. On the downside, I probably own 500 or so pens and pencils of all variety, plus a requisite number of

I just experienced this scenario today with aurutils [0]. Perhaps I needed to reboot after building it, but it only gave me any insight into its syntax when I typed “aur” with no other flags. [0] https://github.com/AladW

It’s worth noting that William Osman stopped producing videos on his YouTube channel due to the fallout of this video. It was a long time coming because he comes off as very aloof and has received criticism about the safety of many other pr

I have been running Linux on Thinkpad X1 Carbon laptops for several generations now: Gentoo on Gen 1, Debian on Gen 5, and now Arch on Gen 9. I can’t recommend them enough for a Linux daily driver and development workstation!

Some might feel apprehensive about visiting US government websites. I have been in this position before, so I often think like that. I figured I’d offer an easy to find alternative source.
