Do you have any specific examples where a Linux-based firewall was too "random" or "fiddly" or "flaky"? Or provide examples of ways that BSD "much nicer"? It sounds to me like you picked a bad Linux d

To elaborate slightly, it wasn’t just a written report; it was his Master’s thesis. Therefore, there was undoubtedly a significant incentive to complete it.

The bolding of subjects of the sentences, the pacing of the various sections, the overuse of em dashes. Something felt weird with the whole thing. Like I was supposed to read it and have my mind blown? But there wasn’t enough substance to g

Apologies I didn’t mean to say it was useless. I’ll still sign up for my current devices! It’s still a useful app.

I tend to keep up to date on new firmware, but I’d love to be notified if a surprise firmware drops for an old device such as the Apple Watch SE1 or 12” Apple MacBook (2017). I don’t see older devices listed. Also the Apple Watch models onl

There are other factors to consider such as screen size, storage and RAM, connectivity and ports, active versus passive cooling (thermal throttling), and speaker quality. Additionally, the M1 Pro GPU benchmarks still outperform the latest M

This took me too long to find in the article: >People building new systems solely for the reason of getting on board with Windows 11 are now in the market for disc drives, which is likely the main driver behind this sudden trend. So Wind

This is excellent. I play each day, and I started to wonder if the puzzles had multiple solutions. I wouldn’t have guessed 384 solutions however!

Two counter points. First, crypto is not part of the UK government's financial systems or institutions. They don't automatically hold jurisdiction over all crypto transactions, or more specifically, crypto service providers. Secon

4chan, the owner/company, does not operate out of the UK. It’s a US company. They are only bound to US laws. Just because UK internet users are able to establish a network connection to 4chan’s server via ISP peering agreements does no

I wouldn't rule out a distro like Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux (or anything else based on RHEL) with Gnome or KDE installed. They will receive 10 years of kernel and OS security updates, and you can either use Firefox from their repos or u

I think you’re conflating a few things. Jeeps, as manufactured during World War II, were produced by Ford and Willys. The Jeeps of today, manufactured by Stellantis, carry on the name (and arguably the general shape) but are completely diff

I always thought this was exclusively for people repulsed by chewing, so it makes me wonder if I have some mild form of this. I will notice the most faint and quiet beeping, buzzing, squealing, etc. I’ll ask others around me and they shrug

I wish people would stop using the term “bricked” for fully recoverable failure conditions. Jeep has already confirmed they’ve pushed out a fix. That is not bricked.

There is an open source server that implements the protocols used by AIM including TOC and Oscar. You can run TiK like it’s 2001 again. https://github.com/mk6i/retro-aim-server/ https://github.com/

This looks fantastic, but I can’t help but wonder how long before SEGA or the owners of the Sonic intellectual property take legal action against the game.

The end of the post links to the bug tracker pointing out it’s already being tracked. But it actually appears to be an issue with dd, not md5sum - https://github.com/VirtualBox/virtualbox/issues/226#issuecom..

I don’t think it’s as bad as you think. What’s the alternative here, rewrite your entire codebase? Spend millions to build up a developer pipeline that won’t leave for working on more modern infrastructure?

I’d love to know what your genuine motivation is. Is it a desire to genuinely improve projects? Because I’ve always had the impression that people who do this just want to boost their PR counts and GitHub activity numbers.

I wonder if the use of LLMs will extend the lifespan of this software. Instead of hiring a niche programmer, they can now offload the syntax and nuances of COBOL to the AI while being supervised by experienced developers. Granted, perhaps b

Not that irssi releases all that often, but one benefit being glossed over is you could docker run a newer version than your distro has available in their package repository.

My problem with this argument is many of these types of CVEs have nothing to do with baseband firmware or drivers or anything else controlled by Broadcom. Google could still patch security issues in the parts of the system most exposed to a

Opposite direction, but I was able to export most of my activity like sleep and daily steps from Fitbit to Apple Health (using a 3rd party app unfortunately.)

Mistakes can occur. I worked on a large software project that came very close to shipping a release with a significant portion of vendor licenses, such as curl, missing. A developer had made a change to the build step that collected the lic

I had a web server running on my jailbroken iPod touch back in 2009/2010. It’s neat but not entirely novel, or practical.

I’m not sure how that would work without a unique and agreed-upon shared identifier across platforms. There’s no equivalent to referencing a song using a URI.

From some research, Unifi Protect doesn’t support live audio or audio playback for third-party cameras. It also lacks support for people and vehicle detections. I would likely consider using this setup for some inexpensive auxiliary cameras
