I reverse proxy everything through a Caddy instance running on the same machine so I avoid the firewall dance entirely by just prefixing all my port assignments in the compose file with the loopback IP (eg. 127.0.0.1:3000:3000). Nftables denies all but 80 and 443 and I don't have to worry about restarts/flushes breaking things.

There are already working alternate implementations of every protocol component.

We WANT to know that there's a collision in transmission so that we know we need to retransmit

Digital trunked public safety systems solved this problem decades ago. If you key up when the frequency is in use you get a distinct rejected tone. I'd think prevention is far preferable to sorting it out once everyone's finished walking on each other.

It's all your posts and replies as a user. While they currently host the only* PDS themselves, the end goal is for every end user to have their own PDS. Inrupt/SOLID calls this concept a "pod".

*(actually they just onboarded a second production PDS yesterday.. progress!)

A long time *ago I read re: Feynman's divorce that false accusations of abuse were common back then because no-fault divorce didn't exist. Couples that wanted a divorce would have to concoct a story in order to get a judge to sign off. I don't have strong feelings either way because it's impossible to know what really happened between them, but I found it an interesting counterpoint.

Any old heads remember using HoTMetaL to write HTML? It was literally just a glorified text editor that inserted tags for you. I eventually learned HTML well enough from it that it became faster to just write pages in Notepad.

I'm currently working on getting a retired Broadcast Electronics 2100C cart machine from my old college radio station and as I expected the parts appear to be very hard to come by. If anyone has a suggestion/lead I'd be grateful.

I don't mind complexity but what I can't stand is having to access that complexity through touchscreens. Without the tactile feedback of a knob or button I have to take my attention off the road to see where I need to press on the screen. That's a major step backwards in auto safety, IMO.

And don't get me started on the lazy manufacturer design trend of bolting a tablet to the dashboard and calling it a day.

I have a 2012 Nexus 7 and I'm wary of people saying they didn't have performance problems until Lollipop. If I was using it for much more than an e-reader the lag would have forced me to upgrade a year ago. I don't question the other issues reported but I haven't experienced any of them. The only thing I don't like so far is the combined notification bar that requires two swipes to reach the menu that used to only require one.

1. Presidents don't raise taxes. 2. There are far more loopholes and exemptions than there were in Reagan's first term.

Alternative theories are fine but this doesn't explain any of the observations that have led us to believe black holes exist in the first place. If black holes don't exist, what exactly is Saggitarius A* then? The stars at the center of our galaxy are orbiting something invisible and truly massive (about 4 million solar masses.)

If you're using a rebase workflow this is much easier than interactively rebasing when you just want to squash the last N commits:

git reset --soft HEAD~N

This rolls back the history and places all the changes in those commits into staging. Commit with a new final message and off you go.

Watchguard Video, which provides dashcam tech for police departments, is working on a streaming video solution that sends the live video feed back to HQ. I've seen a demo of the system and it's really neat. Cell, WiFi, satellite and a few other receivers are built into one board and firmware dynamically switches the active connection to the device with the strongest signal, ensuring the highest throughput as well as redundancy. It's all locked away in the trunk where it can't be accessed. It won't stop a determined rogue officer but it's a step in the right direction.

It's important to remember that before the days of no-fault divorce false allegations of cruelty were commonly made to justify the split to a judge. Both parties to the divorce would agree on the story in advance and testify to the same under oath. It amounted to widespread ritualized perjury and was one of the major deciding factors in the passing of no-fault statutes.

This is all to say, take the allegations of extreme cruelty with a grain of salt.
