Not gp, but I'm also a Canadian with the covid-cocktail. I got my Pfizer back in May, and then my Moderna at the beginning of July. Some of the older (55+) crowd got a different mixture, with AstraZeneca shots in the early spring and P

It's hard to understand the scale of this until you compare it on a map to California's: Siberia: https://www.windy.com/-PM2-5-pm2p5?cams,pm2p5,62.895,94.307,... California: https://www.windy.com/-

I tried to order the P14s with the AMD 8 core for a new hire at work recently, but unfortunately had to cancel the order after they told me there would be 4+ months of shipping delays. It's too bad the supply chains are still strugglin

I doubt it's even possible for a 'disruptor' to fix it - It's not a problem with products or services, it's a culture problem. Corporate IT has basically become the technical counterpart to middle management. Respon

It's even more insane when you remember that strong encryption was regulated as munitions until the mid 90s [1,2] - and actual cyber-weapons aren't today. Software that can cause real damage to not just data and business activitie

Time machine seems to be very good at eating itself. I think the longest I've seen somebody keep it going is 2-3 years, after that it just rots. For those with a little techie know-how, I think the best solution is to rsync their home

If a doctor lies to a patient, they go to jail. If a civil engineer lies about the capacity of a bridge, they go to jail. If a lawyer lies in court, they go to jail. Why the hell are police officers not held to the same standard of professi

DHCP Options would probably work. They're most often used to provide clients with a default gateway and DNS servers, but they're also sometimes used to autoconfigure APs and thin clients as well. https://en.wikipedia.or

I've wanted to go that way for some time, the real problem is that it's basically impossible to hand that off to another net/sysadmin. Imagine walking onto a new job, and they hand you a yubikey and say "here's your

Looking at the stats for Ontario's grid[1]... * 49% Nuclear * 24% Gas * 23% hydroelectric * 2% wind I'm happy with a ~25% non-renewable car vs a 100% non-renewable car. --- [1] https://live.gridwatch.ca/home-page.h

Thanks! I updated the OP to reference this for people who may not have been 'in the loop' and need this context.

The only thing TPM based disk encryption protects is the kernel and the login screen. Without disk encryption somebody could modify your kernel or boot sequence and inject something nasty. Likewise they could do the old utilman.exe hack[1]

I have seen some people build Ceph clusters using the HC2 board [1] before. I'm not sure what the performance is like, but it seems like a neat way to scale out storage. The only real shortcoming is that there's a single NIC... If

Wow, that is absolutely tragic. Neurodegenerative diseases are something I fear the most, having seen what Huntington's can do to somebody.

What's the sustainable solution here? Do we give up and let our performance erode back to where it was a decade ago? Do we just let the vulnerabilities pile up until somebody starts exploiting them? Or do we create an entirely new &#x2

In that case, install Debian Stable and stick to Firefox ESR. Nothing will ever change without warning, and you will have the most blissfully boring user experience.

TLSv1.2 traffic contains the hostname of the site you're connecting to, and the list of ciphers. This can be fingerprinted to identify your browser, and the server-side software. [1] TLSv1.3 on the other hand sometimes encrypts the h

Powershell is a pretty neat scripting language, especially if you manage Windows boxes or have lots of .net stuff around. It's not a good interactive shell environment though. The commands are way too verbose and the syntax feels clu

The place desktops will always win is sustained performance. Sure, a $5000 Mac can run very fast in sprints, but as soon as it's loaded up and running at 100% CPU for more than a couple minutes it's going to start throttling. Th

We blocked it as well. Since we deal with health data, it seemed unethical to allow Google to add people to the "possibly sick" bucket and use that as part of their marketing.

I made a little script for quickly spinning up KVM virtual machines on my testing rig. It just grabs a minimal Ubuntu image, preseeds it with a ssh key, clones a VM on the default NAT network, and sets up the disk size/CPUs/memory

Oil pipelines do one thing - transport oil. Not water, not milk, not corn syrup. Just oil. Rail can transport anything. Containers, tankers, even rocket booster segments. Yes, we're absolutely taking a short term hit, but investing in

I think Docker (the company) just admitted defeat to GitHub. Wow. It's amazing how they blew such an incredible lead over the last decade.

It's a common misunderstanding: vulnerability != exposure There was a rash of CVEs last year because Alpine or Debian or some base image had some sort of SSH exploit baked in, and a 'security researcher' got CVE numbers for p

Not sure I entirely agree with this. The whole point of Ubuntu is that it's essentially turn-key. I installed 20.04 LTS on my old XPS13 and my girlfriend used it for months before realizing it was any different from a Mac. That's

Is that any different from paying +$240/year in your property taxes? My small town in canada has those amenities as well, sans HOA. All municipal, and managed by the town's parks department.

Americans are full of contradictions like that. They formed their nation out of spite for monarchy, but every chance they get they try to install their own. The Bushes, the Clintons, the Kennedys.

It scares the hell out of me thinking about this type of hacky trash anywhere near crypto or sandbox code. I like to think that they have more experienced people working on that, but I'm not quite naive enough to really believe it.
