Automotive design really peaked between 1995 and 2010. Timeless "regular car" designs like the Panther body, the 4th gen VW's, the E46 BMW's, Astro vans, Ford Rangers, etc. I'm sure my late-millennial nostalgia is m

I wonder if it will be the same cause as the big Rogers outage in '22, a good old fashioned BGP botch. https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/rogers-commun... https://en.wikipedia.org/

It's amazing - they're re-inventing the gas station with a White Castle from first principles. Maybe they'll build a Tesla Buccees with a thousand superchargers and a gift shop next. Innovation is back, everybody!

Well, they would have had to purchase one Client Access License per potential device or user that would access the website. Since there's about 5-6 billion people with internet access, and a CAL is about $50 a pop, that would be roughl

The general guidance for networking has been to only use IPs and domains that you actually control... But even 5-8 years ago, the last time I personally touched a cisco WLC box, it still had 1.1.1.1 hardcoded. Cisco loves to break their own

In typical fashion, Canada had a similar, though more feral, version of this at our Parliament: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_Hill_cat_colony

The e-CVT is _not_ a typical belt driven CVT like the crap Nissan puts in everything. It's better known as a Power-Split-Device. https://eahart.com/prius/psd/

The Toyota hybrid system has basically no wear items. There are no clutches, belts, or delicate hydraulic systems. The whole thing is made with big hardened steel ring gears and two electric motors. There are taxis in Vancouver with over a

Yeah, what I've learned from films like "Threads" and "The Day After" is that you very much want to die in the first 20ms of a nuclear war. Don't dig a hole to hide in, put your lawn chair on the roof and hope

The reality is that as great of an interceptor as it was (and possibly the best dedicated interceptor jet ever made), by the time it was ready it was already obsolete. With the introduction of ICBMs, there was simply no need to have jets pu

Engines that are set up for maximum performance are absolutely not designed for longevity, so I would guess that after a record run like this it would be torn down and rebuilt sooner than later. For drag racing, engines are fully rebuilt af

Can anybody explain in a rational way why the US gov would want to revert to a mercantilist trade policy in the 21st century? It seems to me that they're undoing a hundred years of international development to become the de-facto trade

The only thing I currently run on FreeBSD is my storage box. ZFS is absolutely amazing, and FreeBSD supports it fully and without any of the "jank" you'd get running ZFS on Linux. It Just Works (tm), bottom to top. Anything e

Americans don't want states, they want colonies. They already have territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, DC, etc) with no representation, why would they let Canadians vote?

Exactly. Even though I'm fairly confident that I wouldn't be detained at the border under dubious pretexts, and reasonably sure I wouldn't get black-bagged by ICE agents, the thought of being around a population who largely s

It boggles my mind that anybody thought gluing exterior panels to the car was a good idea. Not just trim, entire body panels. Any other vehicle has the body as part of the actual structure, but for some reason on this one they're just

They're more or less dev boards, but they absolutely do sell TPU modules that you can stick right into a M.2 or mini PCIe slot. https://coral.ai/products/

That's totally valid. I understand the desire of k8s maintainers to prevent "cascading changes" from happening, but this one is a very reasonable feature they seem to not support. There's a pretty common hack to make th

I do something similar. Any hits on the default nginx vhost get logged, logs get parsed out and "repeat offenders" get put on the shitlist. I use ipset/iptables but this can also be done with fail2ban quite simply. https:&#x

Go back, it's so worth it. I stood under those six massive turbojets and looked up in absolute awe. It's a miracle that they didn't cut it up for scrap and left a really fabulous museum piece when the project ended.

High speed rail is not a luxury, it's quite the opposite. Labour is the biggest long term expense, even after construction, so it's actually cheaper to operate faster trains. The current trip time is 10-12 hours, multiplied by the

For cases like this, it's better to install the "protonmail bridge" application and use whichever local mail client you like. I have Thunderbird and a local Postfix relay aimed at my bridge and it works very well and certainl

This is grey-hat at best. Intent may have been good, but the fact is that this team created and distributed software to access and exfiltrate data without permission which is very illegal. You may want to consult with the legal department b

It's largely folklore, but there is a kernel of truth to it. Orange cats have a pretty "silly" attitude, kind of like golden retriever dogs. Black/tux cats are usually docile and friendly. Female tortiseshell/tabby

It doesn't really need to run anything "substantial" though. Running some janky wordpress site with some scabbed-on ecommerce customizations is like 50% of the internet.

Great point! When The Onion starts making threats against survivors and relatives of school shootings, they should also face defamation lawsuits.
