Honestly, this only really helps people in rural areas. The vast majority of urban 5GHz implementations are at 80MHz - 6GHz does allow for 160MHz channelization, but at 320MHz the attenuation is so great that most homes will require multipl

The others are big, trust me. My point was that some businesses are tying their destiny to nix - in my experience this is a sign that an open-source project will gain corporate benefactors keeping it afloat + making it safer for others to a

Arista, D.E. Shaw, Google are boring big corp Several of those companies (replit) are building their business on nix. With nix, even containers are optional.

I encourage playing with these + cumulus linux via the nvidia air lab environment. It may seem limiting at first, but being able to upload a graphviz topology as part of a CI/CD pipeline is extremely powerful. See: https://g

I’ve used this model for a few networks and had a good time. Minimal setup and supports a WPS-like security. https://a.co/d/4aC81NS See the diagram in this guide: https://www.motorolacable.com/documents

after using expect and TCL heavily for years, I can firmly say they suck at scale. Ruby https://github.com/ytti/oxidized/blob/master/lib/oxidized/mo... or TextFSM https://github.com&

This is not quite true - GPU's are limited to select VM types, and the number of GPU's you have influences the maximum number of cores you can get. In general they're only available on the n1 instances (except the a100's

Bluetooth tracking kinda sucks unless you’re literally apple or have beacons everywhere somehow. It really just gives proximity to a known location. UWB and Cell tower tracking are much more accurate for the majority of real-world applicati

HN is an example of what used to be good about the internet. The page loads quickly without pulling in 100Mb of frontend dev navel-gazing. In my experience simple sites like this are much easier to modify locally for accessibility, via scre

If you can afford it, a split like the ergodox or moonlander (my personal choice) is the correct answer here. I type 8+ hours a day and have zero pain. I also switched to dvorak a few years back, and consider that to help as well.

This is a pretty big leap to be honest - and this argument can be made for nearly anything if you look for it. For example: emoji are difficult for vision impaired people to work with, and use of emoji to convey meaning reduces accessibilit

Defense in depth / zero trust is definitely the way to go, however it's trivial to prevent a system from having internet access - for this hack to occur, the system had to be deployed with a public IP address directly assigned. NA

Zero reason to have database servers with an internet connection. These days you can ship in an entire environment with containers into borderline air gapped environments.

Yeah I’m not sure either - I’ve used UEFI only on my last few laptops (mostly Dell XPS) and it’s been great. Sure, the process is a hair more confusing, but there’s massive benefits and it’s FAST. In particular, I’ve been impressed with sys

I’m currently switching to Vyvanse after 10+ years using adderall. There is no generic formulation (at least in the us) because it came to market in 2007. I’ve had several issues with inconsistent adderall from various generic manufacturers

The benefits are primarily from the better weight distribution and engine location in relation to the rear diff. The myth of fwd having superior driveability due to better traction is only real when comparing front engine to front engine, l

This chart is a bit misleading - MacOS is the equivalent of windows 7, 8.1, and windows 10 combined, which places Microsoft at the top where they belong. iOS has overall fewer code execution and privilege escalation vulnerabilities as well.

It really is the routers + switches. Most VPC’s are eVPN’s, and you have to have the capacity to burst 10g+ to any of your datacenters in the world. I’m not defending their pricing, but supporting that kind of traffic flow at any time likel

Client isolation is just wireless clients on the same AP. PIM routing acts like a proxy, and the multicast address for whatever service your routing will be proxied to the clients local multicast address. Ruckus calls it bonjour fencing, an

It’s really not difficult at all if you have a multi-layer firewall (should be standard imo). Fortinet nails this, took me a day to figure out.
