Remember the nightmare of soft modems? They were a combined audio and modem sharing the same DSP chipset. They were terrible and shipped with a lot of PCs. I think they finally worked out the kinks when cable modems and DSL became an option

I doubt it. The complexity of multi-cloud will also give you downtime. Most of the folks impacted by cloud outages do not have highly available systems in place. Perhaps, for their business, the cost doesn't justify the outcome. If you

I would also estimate that the nicer the car, the more likely it's inaccessible later in a home garage, limited access parking deck, etc.

I'd wager that Azure customers tend to run classic workloads as VMs. Those workloads are usually not impacted by API outages. When AWS has API outages, all those Lambdas, autoscaling groups, subscribers to queues and topics, etc have a

It's not unrealistic to expect a stack that includes Azure, GitHub, Datadog, Okta, Pagerduty, and more for a single application. Terraform handles and ties them all together well with a single application focused configuration.

I would love for Windows to ship with a command line text editor so that I could be guaranteed to have something when using a remote command line. The moral equivalent of knowing vi will be on any Linux system from a server to doorbell. May

Does it append .txt when you don't want it to? `Notepad config.rc` ends up saving as config.rc.txt?

Adding to your list, social sport leagues. They're relaxed and welcoming of the less athletic and include 'easier' sports like dodgeball and kickball.

Zigbee has a serial bus mode that's identical to RS-485 in practice. There were/are so many industrial applications of RS-485 that they could instantly convert to wireless mesh with a zigbee daughter board or chipset. 'Pro&#x

Exactly my experience. I can see red and I can see green, I just struggle to identify the difference in small steps of red to green. Kind of the opposite of how people with tetrachromacy can see more yellows. Normal people can see yellows j

I have a minor color blindness, I believe on the red/green scale. I can't get all the circles with dots in them, and I've struggled to find online tests that could definitively call out my type of colorblindness. The results

Yes, most people are extremely hesitant to do so, because of the probable high costs. You'd be shocked at the condition in which people will drive themselves to the emergency department.

This would be a common setup. They allow SSH ingress so that the server can be managed or provisioned with something like Ansible. However, they block all other unused ingress ports, as well as any egress that does not contribute to the fun

Is my understanding correct that you may not overprovision an Outpost host like you would with a VMware host?

A replacement for Yahoo Pipes! In the early Android days, I wrote a few apps that relied on web site scraping to provide their data. Even back then, these websites evaded scraping. Yahoo Pipes to the rescue. You'd set it up to scrape t

I like k3s, a lot, and this is not an endorsement of MicroK8S over k3s. I found it quite easy to burn an SD card with the latest Ubuntu Server image for RPi, and install microk8s. Yes, it has the snapd stuff that seemingly nobody likes. How

I agree. Those low interest rates are also driving a ton of refis which people are using to make improvements and renovations. There's tremendous pressure on trade labor. Also, I suspect immigration restrictions are putting a squeeze o

I inquired about selling to a few in a different region. They all expected you to pay for repairs they identify. That's far too open ended of an agreement for me. Perhaps it was limited to structural issues, but that wasn't clearl

Thank you, Kermit and ZModem. I remember a few legacy BBS didn't support the newer protocols which would let you resume downloads. Even better was when these were combined with an image viewer that would let you view an image as it dow
