   Webmin has had many remote vulnerabilities for many years, yet people still use it/leave it open to the internet. https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-358/...

   How do you do the switching? Using a MOSFET or something else?

   I'm quite interested in how you integrate power management into the PI. There's very little in the way of 'real' power management solutions for the PI and a myriad of 'power down when the battery is low' soluti

   You can run MicroPython on the nRF51822. That's a GC language. I've ran some fairly complex programs on it. Lack of careful programming and you run out of memory, but that's more a function of assuming you have a large memory

   This makes /some/ sense ... but it still smells of doublethink.

   Well ... unless you want that exact hardware to move DCs. Your decommissioning event had me in stitches. I might use that phrase in the future :D

   I think '100% uptime' is pretty much shorthand for "absolutely no reason to turn the machine off or stop services on them running, ever". As the above link mentions, everything is redundant. CPUs running in (near) lockst

   But some folk already have decent pd-usb3 chargers that damn well ought to work. Mine, that can charge my gpd pocket can barely power my pi4. I still see the yellow lightening bolt which indicates a "poor" power supply - which is

    This is quite literally ridiculous. In the UK we have the national grid that supplies all connected homes in the UK. It is the sole supplier of electricity. All electricity generated is fed to this national grid. Coal/Gas/Wind&#x2

    Even don't prototype with homerolled encryption. You should know how easy prototypes enter production!

    This sounds completely insane. So we delegate security to an alleged "trusted" third party that both the sysadmin and user have to trust. Sounds like a massive increase in attack surface with questionable advantages.

    Perhaps what is needed is a simple standard API that wraps OpenSSL, GNU/TLS, mbed TLS, Polar SSL, et al - that covers a small set of standard use cases. [1] It's not /hard/ using a library, but it's hard using it p

    Sorry, this was a couple of years ago now. I can’t even find it casually grepping my irc logs.

    BRTFS catastrophically failed on me twice. I have ZFS on another box that failed badly but lost no data... That was with bad ram and a motherboard that was on the "do not use" list for making ZFS NAS boxes. It always recovered the

    #4, and #5 for sure. My niece was upset due to just being fed and her stomach having the usual baby issues, a bit of jiggling on my lap with my little finger to suck on calmed her right down as mum was having a bit of a meltdown due to lack

    What about the plethora of cheap chinese ones? Does the USA actually manufacture any of the things on the list any more?

    In the UK equipment varies. I've seen smartphone based license scanners, Psion-based data entry terminals (they punch in each and every offenders license plate), but parking meters tend to have a paper receipt you place on the dashboar

    This doesn’t happen with socialised healthcare that’s free at the point of service. A government can negotiate lower prices than a commercial entity. They also can legislate to force bad actors to be reasonable. Sadly the UK’s NHS is being

    Hopefully Ubuntu has updated certbot to support this.
