I will check what particular settings I have for AdGuard when I get back home this evening. I don't recall anything particularly hairy but it has been a few years.

The same thing works for terrible drivers on the road, pushy customers at the supermarket, and all kinds of other bothersome interpersonal situations. They can be optional. Just grant yourself a moment to let them go away. Out of sight, ou

It's been a very long time since I had a cable modem that didn't have a pair of 4P4C (aka RJ11 or POTS) jacks on the back. These exist to make available the VOIP service that I haven't wanted for decades. Others using this s

The next move is to go further back in user interfaces: To place a call, pick up the phone and dial 0 or turn the crank to ring the operator. Have a bot do the rest, exactly like a telephone operator.

Last year, I moved back to Firefox after a decade or so exclusively on Chrome, which is something I'd been procrastinating about doing for some time. It was mostly painless. Bookmarks were automatic. I had some extensions to reconfig

It sees it poorly. IR is deliberately (though imperfectly) filtered in the optical path. The dim purpleish glow from a remote that is seen through [many] digital cameras would be quite bright if this IR filter weren't in place. It doe

Defrosting is very often automatic. That can involve mechanical timers, or software timers, or logic/code of any complexity. All of these things can be badly-implemented and/or become broken or stuck. Maybe the mode they got stu

That's a great test environment and it really helps drive away some of the misconceptions about ZFS. It's a lovely filesystem and it can work in very stodgy ways with zetabytes on Serious Hardware, but it can also work with relati

I was once beaten senseless by a group of 3 young men when I decided to take an early-morning walk to get some smokes from the store down the way, in a sleepy small city in Ohio. There was nothing that I was doing that was wrong in any way.
