This makes me grimace. I recall trying to install an SSL cert inside a very restricted environment. I had to build a special mode into our application so the IT person could use cURL to hit an endpoint with the base64'ed cert, and then

I love dokku. And josegonzalez is always a huge help. I pay a monthly support to dokku. You should too. Jose will help you either way, but I feel slightly less guilty when I ask questions and he immediately resolves them for me in the slack

Well, if this is steam, isn't it proton, which is wine underneath? I'm not discounting your experiences at all, btw. My 11 year old has been using Ubuntu as his main gaming rig, and the NVidia drivers work incredibly well and Stea

My kids love Minecraft. They often run a curseforge mod (create?) and then open a port so they can play together inside the home LAN. But, I don't really understand how this works, and I would love to host it in a way that their cousin

It would be egregious to keep property for years even if the arrest were made with charges. But, in the DC case, "the protesters did not face any charges" and their phones were kept for 14 months. That's doubly insane.

Does anyone know if there is a way to host just a few of the tiles in a static way? For example, if I wanted to build a web page which just shows a map at zoom level 6 for a lat/lng point, and then go to zoom level 13. That would requi

Is there really anything to do? Everyone is constantly uploading photos of my kids to Instagram and that's generating the same surveillance dragnet all these other things are building. I don't see a way to opt-out without plastic

I recently saw the movie Sasquatch Sunset and it changed a lot about how I see the neanderthals. I wonder what the language was back then for humanoids. How did courting work between neanderthal and homo erectus?

If someone makes a startup solely to use LLMs to decipher billing statements, they will probably make a lot of money. Or, that will get bought out before they put sunlight on the tactics of innumerable companies.
