I don't doubt that this will help people. I know how it helped me to train myself in the way I read today during my university years. So as said - there will be people who benefit from this. Still - being an empiricist I just like to s

Are there any actual studies on the gained speed being done by Independent scientists? I could not finde anything on their (quite beautifully done) marketing/landing page. I see patent registrations, but no mention of any studies under

I was actually not able to read their example text at all. I had to slow down, to read this slowly word, by word. I trained myself since my time at university to mark important parts in text (either with text marker in a book or with bold t

As far as I understand 'below' the application layer there is usually a basic image (like alpine) in docker? Do these first parties maintain these as well? If not the trust chain just got longer. I would call myself at least somew

Wow. Thanks for that insight. I went the middle ground and am using a shared hosting provider with great tutorials on how to get things running. Nextcloud was 5 minutes (or 15 if one includes setting up ssh key in the web frontend for my ac

In the end I think it will boil down to a question of anti fragility or resiliency VS. efficiency. And there is actually imho no black and white answer. Take a current, very small freelance client of mine. I built them a homepage based on K

My utmost respect. I ran a Linux box at home while I was at university. It acted like a NAT/masquerading server. It was the time when DSL routers weren't a thing. At least not widely available. But I never had the idea to use it t

This one has bitten me hard on servers and desktop computers. And lately on mobile too. The last area were I still had automatic updates enabled. The problem is, that one can't reasonably wait a few days on every update and look online

I remember being told more often than I can count that it is nest to leave stuff like this to the experts who all day long do nothing else. Like actually being told that as reason to use Microsoft AD. Or the nobody is better dealing with sp

From friends and former colleagues I know at least quite a few companies using tools like Tanium [0]. The Tanium client on the employees' machines (and on all corporate servers, containers, VMs) is still based on python 2.7. It would b

It was a small Sonos. Would need to look up the model. Was around the size of a Bose Soundbar (the smallest model). With these Bose Soumdbars it is just long pressing the BT button. No app, no nothing. Just works for me.

Offtopic: I recently tried to setup a Bluetooth speaker my mom had bought (with me at her side). I had carefully looked at the packaging and there were no red flags visible. At her flat I tried to connect it to her laptop. It just wasn&#x27

I understand the sentiment. But probably is allowed (as you state) because until now nobody looked at it and then nobody took the time to inform the respective authorities. I need to take a closer look at the report and see if I am with a r

This data is being collected. And stories about that are being leaked, so that people feel (slightly) watched. Nobody in any (halfway intelligent) government wants a Nazi like Gestapo or SS patrols. They know that offensively acting against
