Speaking of both wooden siding and hariplank, construction is a big factor in the survivability of a home in the case of a wildfire. Cedar shake looks very nice, but perhaps it is a bad idea when there is a non-zero chance of a neighbourhoo

Even as Debian boxes, they're limited because Debian isn't supporting the platform any more either. That means you can't just point it to a new repo, and do all the usual apt goodness to get an up to date system. I'm lea

I have one, and looked into what I might put on it instead of the unsupported software some years ago. I had noticed shortly after purchase that it was basically a Debian install, on MIPS if I recall correctly. While WD had essentially wash

I think the answer is likely, "it depends." I too have a P50, and mostly leave it with the integrated Intel graphics. The Nvidia is needed for HDMI output though. In any case, I do fire that up when needed, with its own X session.

Order of magnitude, based on the context. Not like Out of Memory, like in a Linux process.

Wow, is that incredibly broken. I'm in security, doing testing for internal project teams. Another consultant is typically advising them on general controls, policy and such, and telling them to come to my group to get testing done. I

I haven't tried it in Zap, but there is definitely a Burp add-on that takes care of this for you. Probably several. Zap is pretty scriptable as well, so there are likely solutions for it also. What have you tried?

Thanks for your extensive write-up. PHP's definitely not my thing, but I appreciate your view of the process to iteratively dig (and dig, and dig...) into the details. By the way, if you're looking for instant introspection, chang

Heh. In my relative youth, I was pranking a fellow co-op student on our work term fairly regularly. One of my faves was that he was on an HP Unix workstation in the shared computer room, and the X display defaulted to allowing all connectio

OK, I'll bite. How do, "all the cases for the Raspberry have bad design"? I have one of these Flirc cases: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4553 . It looks fairly nice, acts as a heat sink, so my Pi 4 chu

Aluminum heat-sink cases work well too.

Ah, yes. I recall the luxury of a Commodore of my very own (a C128), after using PETs in school. We had a whole three of them at the time, with a shared, dual-floppy drive for the set. Naturally, our teacher wisely pushed hard on figuring w

Oh my, do I get this. My wife has worked for years as a professional organizer, so she definitely has an idea for How Things Should Be Done. That way is not mine however. I've been known to have something much like Shitbowl as a system

Actually, lots do, and the transients eat mammals. I think they're smart enough to differentiate the ones (us) that would cause too many problems to eat. In our area (Discovery Islands), there is no lack of humans swimming, or in kayak

I went the software developer -> security route, so maybe I can weigh in a little. Security takes a different mind-set in some ways; not incompatible, but not necessarily there to start with. I've always been interested in how thing

That's where they need better-educated, or more capable auditors. I used to do PCI auditing for organizations that handled credit card data. The course was a two-day joke, and they relied at the time on some stated level of prior exper

What you're looking at though in lisp is an unambiguous syntax tree. It's what helps you find your way around in the forest, especially with editor support that can automagically apply operations to discrete chunks of your code. T

Actually, Pi-Hole can take additional lists, just like the browser extensions. Under "Group Management", select "Adlists".

Usenet over UUCP worked just fine, with UUCP serving up email too on the dial-up batch syncs.

One difference perhaps is that the term as used typically refers to algorithmic associations defined for, and out of the control of the user. When you choose what Fediverse instance you use, or what other people to follow, you're getti

I usually buy Adam's, which would be the just-peanuts variety. I do find that it could use a little salt, so just add some. (Oh, and habanero powder out of a shaker, because nobody's peanut butter includes that.)

Hello! I always appreciate creative ways to mitigate spam. One question though, how would you see this as different from spamgourmet.com? Similar idea as far as I can see, with addresses that may or may not transparently drop signed-up emai

My P50 is a couple years old, works great. It's exactly what I needed, with room to grow (and I can do it myself). Also, I have found a few things that seem to make a large difference on power/battery. Currently running i3 desktop

Victoria, BC? /me waves from Quadra (Island, not Street). Not job hunting, but always happy to chat with people doing cool stuff sort-of locally.

This sounds awesome, glad to hear it's working well for you. One question that comes to mind for the business stuff is security. Basically, are you accepting Scheme code from untrusted users, or is it just a bundled part of the app? Th

Those head to head player games were great, but there was one catch on the Amiga. The DB25 serial port on the A1000 (first Amiga) was different from other systems of the day. Not just the obvious gender difference, but the pinouts were diff

Oh, you _really_ want to read Cory Doctorow's, "Unauthorized Bread". First story in the four-part book, "Radicalized". And if you buy it directly from him, the ebook version is DRM-free.

Sure, but federal electoral reform was one of Trudeau's platform items before he got elected. Once he got in... it seems suddenly less interesting. I would dearly love to see this get done here. In BC, there was an attempt to get it in
