Some home routers also offer built-in VPN using Wireguard. Works amazingly well with my Fritzbox, near zero setup on the router itself and very simple config on the end devices.

When I built my DIY NAS, the most important factor was: I wanted it _silent_. No constantly spinning drives or fans. It sits in a sideboard in my living room, and I've been using a M1 Mac for years now that is completely silent in norm

Which one do you have? I had the same issues with my '19 M3P, all the brakes were badly corroded a year into the lease. Apparently the software to keep this under control came a bit later into the lifecycle, and is not very effective i

Some EVs (Teslas are ones I know of) have software that occasionally lightly applies the brakes to keep them clean. Also, on EVs with LFP batteries the brakes do get used a bit more, because a full and/or cold pack usually can only tak

Dragon likely wouldn't be able to get it, unfortunately. The lander would easily fit into the unpressurized cargo bay (the "trunk"), that is typically used to launch various vacuum-bound payloads alongside pressurized cargo i

I've only enabled tab groups on my profile after updating to 138 today. That first attempt where drag-and-drop didn't work was already on 138. But I can't reproduce it anymore, so I assume that was a fluke. Looks good so far!

It's available for everybody since FF 137, just randomly not enabled. Go to about:config and then set browser.tabs.groups.enabled to true.

With the horizontal tab layout, you can drag-and-drop the group name to move the whole group, same as singular tab. Although the first time I tried it it didn't work, now that I keep trying with different click timing etc it seems reli

In the stream commentary for some of competitive Geoguessr I've watched, they definitely often mention the color and shape of the car (visible edges, shadow, reflections), so I assume pro players know which cars were used where very we

I agree. The author isn't saying that the best devs never complain about something. He's saying they never leave it at complaining and throw their hands up, but dig in until the find the underlying reason for the behavior, or a wa

It was a live stream, presumably stream operators had instructions to not show the kaboom live on camera, should one occur.

"Completely successful" would've been reaching orbit. They didn't expect to get that far, but this was still a far cry from a complete success. Only milestones cleared are countdown, launch, and stable flight in fixed at

Surveyor and other probes have landed autonomously in the years leading up to Apollo, and after it as well. We definitely do have the technology, but having not used it for a couple decades, we've gone a bit rusty with it.

According to IM's website, it landed within 250 _meters_ of the intended site - could there be a unit confusion (m / mi) somewhere in the press chain? https://www.intuitivemachines.com/im-2

While the telemetry was still going, you could see Ship engines going out one by one. Earlier when there was video there was what looked like flames visible inside one of the flap hinges, definitely shouldn't be there on ascent. Presum

Separation is much closer to the launch pad in Texas, the booster barely makes it downrange at all before turning around. This being filmed from the Bahamas with this much lateral velocity, gotta be the Ship breaking up. Likely the FTS trig

Inadvertently perfect timing for this footage. Glowing and backlit by the setting sun, against clear and already darkening evening sky... couldn't plan the shot any better if you tried. Let's hope no debris came down on anyone or

First attempt maybe, but they have streamed New Shepard launches many times before, so the company is not exactly a newbie at this overall. Of course, an orbital launch provides a very different level of challenges compared to a vertical ho

We're really spoiled by SpaceX, RocketLab and other live streams. In comparison this was pretty unspectacular - they did have camera(s?) on the booster and on the second stage, but only showed them for a few seconds during the stream,

Since he explicitly mentioned a hydraulic clutch and needed to provide a separate fluid reservoir for it, it's a very safe bet to say the car is a manual.

I suppose they didn't bother with that, and the system basically only works for cruising in 5th gear, which is what the car was likely doing for the absolute majority of the 6000km drive. You'd lose out on having "self-drivin

Watched this mini video essay by BPS.space (Joe Barnard), and it resonated with me a lot. So many personal projects get side tracked by trying to optimize some detail or another, get bogged down by that detail, and never get finished in any

Mailpit works amazingly for us. Thanks to it having a very simple API, we've been able to integrate it into Playwright e2e tests, and can easily verify things like complete new user registration and password reset flows in seconds. And
