Yep. The worse circumstance is when a lunatic champions a legitimate cause be it technological authoritarianism, the absurd concentration of corporate power, or income inequality. It's worth remembering that "libertarian writers&q

The lack of nuance to consider exceptions appears to have been the problem. Perhaps a lot of products needed bug fix campaigns because most corporations tend to reward SWE productivity based on so-called "evidence" like: - KLoC -

Just run hbbs and hbbr locally. The paid features aren't all that useful for the risks they introduce.

Yep. I use the FOSS version of RD (firewall locked-down processes on clients and servers) and it's much faster and better than TigerVNC and RealVNC. I don't trust third-party, cloud-based remote access management because it's

Run 2 instances of the Docker container rustdesk/rustdesk-server with hhbr and hhbs and it will work locally. It can also work in a single container with the s6 overlay variant. https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk

Too big to jail.* * Unless you ripoff rich or powerful people like Madoff or SBF. If your quant shops causes global financial chaos on a diffuse and global level, it's okay to use financialization trickery like LTCM.

The dumping of energy into noise in bands variants tend to be very short ranged because of physics. Malicious clients/APs need much less energy to DoS a network Wi-Fi network. WPA3 adds optional PMF (802.11w) to protect against rogue

Heck, even the cameras I bought my mom were PoE with in-situ SD cards for self-contained recording and NVR, with a cloud option. An armored car company holding zillions of dollars can't bother to secure itself with even 2009-level resi

Autotools is slow, ugly, and horrible. There are many better and simpler alternatives that exist now. Source releases shouldn't be pre-processed in any way. They should build whatever they need to on-the-fly as part of the build. Other

Airbnb should've stayed a tiny startup geared to finding YC applicants temporary housing in the Bay Area. Some things just don't scale or remain cool, especially with they facilitate gentrification and harm locals.

News reporters are known for their extreme accuracy and precision, and their in-depth knowledge of subject matter. Maybe the MIC is still trying to convince US taxpayers to throw more countless trillions at nonfunctional pork projects for t

The absurdity extends to keyboards as well. To get a moderately priced clicky keyboard with the type of switches and layout I was looking for, the damn thing has absurd levels of animated RGB ground effects that make it look like a party bu

Some forms of reversible birth control exist, but not all of them are. Also, I don't think people who are torn between affording food and fuel can afford to thinking about, much less afford, permanent birth control. Might be worth me

Maybe we need an international NGO/co-op to provide essential services for small, essential FOSS projects such as security comms, security audits, build infrastructure, testing, best practices, background investigations, and so forth.

For the security of all and analogous to the Chaos Monkey principle, there ought to be a covert merry band of coders whose goal is to try to slip obsfucated benign commits into important FOSS projects under pseudonyms to maintain vigilanc

Tamiya model building manuals are the gold standard of accessibility and have been so for 30+ years. They don't even require spoken or written language to understand. Examples: - https://www.rcscrapyard.net/manuals&#x2F

I hate to say it, but the most successful strategy now is to avoid raising alarms and wait until the powers encounter truly terrible events that they can't escape to Mars or hide in their apocalypse bunkers. Both Hummer-drivers and Wen

Outright selective censorship and arbitrary anti "porn" filters. Now playing in the US! Because, you know, net neutrality and too much freedom are bad for corporations.

Reminds me of a plot element of the difficult-to-find movie called Shooting Fish (1997) where 2 guys squat inside a giant water tower and turn it into their secret lair. (Yes, it's fiction.) Meanwhile, mere mortals can't afford

Woah, neat. (Florida, in this example.) I had no idea. I'll have to think about it in the future because I'm currently caring for elderly parents. Many thanks to opening my eyes to new ways to volunteer.

Residential solar in the US is largely a greenwashing, financialization to exploit homeowners. 99.9% of the time, there is no battery or inverter in these systems and they lack 2/3-way ATCs and instead fail completely without grid powe

That's the problem with increasing fragmentation as an n+1 of the same thing and trying to do everything yourself rather than delegating and scaling effort and expertise via crowdsourcing and outsourcing through plugin maintainers. An
