I have used and promoted Signal before, and I also made the mistake of making it my default sms/mms client. I'm on android. Signal does allow you to make a backup file. Then you have to get that file over to a specific directory o

Take a look at rkt. It seems like it would be much closer as it does script based container execution. https://coreos.com/rkt/

I've used imapsync before (link below). You configure in your gmail credentials on one side and your new account on the other. You'll want to set up "device" password for it to avoid any 2fa/not a robot checks. It d

Interesting. Are these bigger city hospitals? I've visited people in several hospitals and you just walk in. Unless you actually go up to a counter to ask for help, you're free to roam. Sure, some areas are off limits. You can&#x2

Google Docs predates Wave and has since been rebranded as Google Drive. Various blogs have pointed out how certain aspects of Wave have been integrated into Docs/Sheets/Drive. The big concept with wave was that you did operations.

Heh. One colleague has "Hope is not a valid deployment strategy" as a signature. Most places might be blocking this type of activity by default. For most of our security audits, it's just assumed that the SM IPMI or Dell idra

I had never even heard the phrase until this thread. A quick google/wikipedia shows me it's the British term for what we in the US call "telephone". I guess I learned something new today. https://en.wikipedia.

Most places I know of isolate their OOB management network, requiring a vpn or jumpbox to access it. However, if someone did let their OOB network full outbound access, I could see this slipping through. I could imagine that simply going t

The Facebook Container Extension does this. The maintainers hard code the list, but it really makes me think that someone can make an extension to let a user manage a list themselves. As an early adopter of Facebook Container, I had to live

Also, Fava adds budgeting to Beancount. Beancount itself doesn't really have the concept, but Fava lets you add budget lines and compare your spending against your budget.

Looking at the code, it looks like that's a work in progress. You can start an http server and use a browser to browse and read your memos. It also looks like you can query for particular memos like you do in the CUI. It could very wel

Not technically possible currently (well, last I checked). A client could be configured to send a "please delete message id 29342" type post, but other clients would have to know how to understand that and to honor it. The functio

Oh wow. Back in the 90s, I "played" a game called Progress Quest. Basically you downloaded the game, spun the dice a few times and then your character would go out on quests. Your game was saved in a small file, which you could mo

This cycle is one of big concern to me. In Pennsylvania, UPMC keeps growing its monopoly and getting into territory disputes with Highmark Health. In this case, both companies offer insurance and health care. At one point, UPMC decided to s

Not familiar with thrift or protobuf, but when I think of a single API layer in front of a database, the API specification becomes independent of the database. You also want to version your API. Let's take an address for an example. Yo

That sounds like secure scuttlebutt. Secure Scuttlebutt is a database protocol for unforgeable append-only message feeds. "Unforgeable" means that only the owner of a feed can update that feed, as enforced by digital signing (see

When I click the link, I see some handwriting, and 4 images of an owl moving around. Then a second later, it redirects me to a site called debsys.com, which kind of seems to be a q&a site, or a demo of one.

I'm a fairly happy MBP 2016 user. I would love to have a single USB-A port. And that is because of the logitech unifying receiver[1], the Elecom wireless trackball dongle[2], or the plantronics voyager uc adapter[3]. These are all USB-
