Anyone who has my name can find my address, voter registration records are easily searched online in many states. I only bother with WHOIS protections (which Gandi includes at no additional charge) to avoid spam, very few people can claim t

Maybe I’m just overly picky, but I am constantly at a loss as to what I want to watch. My wife gets more use out of our streaming services than I do, as I have mostly watched or own digital copies of everything I care about - so I get more

Maybe the traditional networks would make a decent comeback if they started producing view-worthy shows again. There was so much content actually worth watching and getting excited for one or two decades ago, now at most I’m looking forward

Happiest Baby on the Block was the one and only parenting class my wife and I ever took, and I’m glad we did - felt like we had cheat codes when our daughter got fussy as a baby (she slept through the night within a month too, we actually h

Often it's not the case, which is why general consensus with SSD's for ZFS SLOG devices is to go with ones that advertise end-to-end power loss protection unless sufficient testing has been done to guarantee the drive protects aga

Intel's already tried CPU DLC with the Pentium G6951 back in 2010, you could buy a $50 upgrade card that would unlock hyper threading and extra L1 cache. Plus there's now the VROC hardware keys to unlock NVMe RAID support on X299

This right here is the big one, to be honest. Yes, clocks, latency between parts of the die, etc are all problems - but they can be worked around with some effort. Thermals and also power delivery are huge problems with large chips, just co

For long-term archival I think relying on your compression software to protect data integrity is a fool's errand, protecting against bit-rot should be a function of your storage layer as long as you have control over it (in contrast to

See self-employment tax for a good example. Yes, it really is just the other 7% of the FICA (payroll) tax that an employer would normally pay, but I've seen people get thrown for a loop when another 7% of their 1099 or self-employment
