I think this is the reason why "social media" seems so dead now. People stopped posting publicly (for obvious reasons) and almost all of the "social" web is in private group chats. People don't want their life broad

I specifically bought a Mazda because it's the only car that feels safe to actually use. HVAC, audio, maps, calling, absolutely everything can be done with physical controls that minimize eyes-off-road time. There's no situation w

Sadly OSSEC is largely abandoned. Back in the day it was very good for a lightweight and effective security system for those that didn't want to install full-blown antivirus on everything. I wish they would donate the project to Linux

Far from it. This is the game that turns your calm book-and-armchair grandpa into a wild competitive lunatic. It turns your sweet auntie into a table-flipping animal. It's up there with Euchre for turning old people into unhinged gamer

A super easy way to protect yourself is to just block any IP that hits `/.env` or `/wp-admin`. I've taken this as far as to ban any IP that hits my default vhost (hitting the IP instead of actual hostname) more than ten times

This seems very normal and healthy.

This won't work. None of the "safety technology" we've added in the last decade has worked. Not that the individual subsystems don't work effectively on their own, but that the entire vehicle is becoming a less safe

Works the same way as old-school junk mail. Your postal service gets paid well by junk mailers to put trash in your mailbox, so they're disincentivized to fix the systemic issue. I can't find a good quality source on this, but it&

It's a very strange price point - "Utility Coffee" like Dunkin or Tim's is usually around $2 for a medium, but "Specialty Coffee" like Starbucks or local cafes is $5 to $8. I'm not sure where they got thei

Speaking as a Canadian, that's not bad. Our toll bypass for Toronto is about $.50/km, so traveling from one end of the city to the other (~70km) costs about $40-50 depending on the time of day. So it's not great, but it could

I have an old X201 with OpenBSD. My setup on that machine is deliberately "gimped" with all ads and most JS blocked to make webpages load acceptably fast, and with the `apmd` enabled and hw.setperf at 10-20. With a 3rd party 9-cel

There's an interesting gap when discussing carplay/aa. Cars from the 90s up until about 2013 can be easily fitted with a $500 head unit upgrade, and support carplay quite well. With the right tools, it can be done in about two hou

The real takeaway from this is about controlling sensory inputs. My wife is "neuro-spicy" and we have to consider those things when we go adventuring. What we've found best is to make sure there's always enough "con

Same with "real" servers. For a while there, it was trendy to boot ESXi from an SD card stuck to the system board and use all of the 2.5" disks for just data storage, no OS. It worked great... until it didn't. It turns o

Unless this has the capacity of a 737-700 / Max-7, there's no way six emergency exits are enough. They're also all up at the front, making egress difficult if an isle is blocked. Yes, it's a nitpick, but if that's a

Of course. Because cars don't spend money, people do. The more efficiently humans are packed together, the more money-per-square-foot there is available. You could have a drive-thru with six lanes and a mile long driveway, and it still

It's incredibly funny that despite the sophisticated high-bandwidth data channels available to them, they ended up using a half-duplex modem connection to a custom ground station. It still feels like our world is full of hacks like tha

It's a cultural perception issue, mainly. In the west, when we see plastic, we think of litter. And we should, because there's way too many coffee cups, cigarette butts, and fast food wrappers lying on the ground in our towns and

Copying this over from the other thread - It makes sense... EV's pay for themselves over the long run, much longer than rental cars stick around for. They typically lease them for up to three years and then flip them for newer vehicles

Microsoft's spam filter is fundamentally broken. It's been that way for decades. There's an entire cottage industry of snakeoil salesmen that want to sell in-line antispam gateways to bolt onto 365, and the worst part is that

From what I've seen, the value in QA is product familiarity. Good QA'ers know more about how the product actually works than anybody else. More than PM's, more than sales, and more than most dev teams. They have a holistic

The old-style "tube" trains are all DC third rail IIRC, but the newer trainsets such as the Elizabeth and Thameslink are all overhead AC. So this would actually be one of the few metro trains where it would be remotely safe to wal

I've found that the most effective way to secure a webserver is to just block any IP that pounds on the default vhost by IP. No WAF, no fuss. After a few months of building up a denylist, I get almost zero hits from scanners and spambo

Waze is good, but it does have some very weird over-optimizations. Anecdote: A couple years ago, while driving into Toronto on the 401, we hit some traffic as always. Waze told me to get off at the next exit which I was fortunately right be
