After a long injury, I got back to slowly running on the treadmill/bike/elliptical at the gym. IIRC, my garmin qualified its VO2Max results by saying I needed to run out side for some period of time to get a more accurate measurement. I guess there is something about the running metrics it collects that has a smaller error range.
Hopefully something as optimistic as this and not the Quiz Broadcast :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22mt0cVyW5c
dropping off the bus is the best case fail really. Its more annoying when writes become slower than the other disks often causing confusing performance profiles of the overall array. Having good metrics for each disk (we use telegraf) will help flag it early. On my zfs pools, monitoring disk io for each disk, smartmon metrics help tease that out. For SSDs probably the worst is when there is some firmware bug that triggers on all disks at the same time. e.g. the infamous HP SSD Failure at 32,768 Hours of Use. Yikes!
exact same reaction. I remember hearing about "regrowing teeth through sound waves"... in 2006. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/dentist-engineer-team-up-to-... Can't say I have heard it offered anywhere yet....
For me, when I first started running, I thought going on a 5k run burnt scads of energy. At 100KG I was looking at about 400-500 cals-- Thats a fancy muffin basically. But when you start hitting 50k a week, you do have to start thinking about how to eat enough and enough of the right foods.
Its so funny you mention the color. Looking at the image on the website, I was struck by the fact that beige could strike a visceral exciting nostalgia reaction in me. I mean, its beige FFS, the ultimate "boring" color :) I went from a totally disengaged / disinterested teen in school to paying out of my own pocket (I think $50 at the time) to take a course taught be Steve Punter in the basement of a library on the other side of Toronto on 6502 assembler -- in the summer!
Happy memories. I discovered it around Delphi 2.0 when I was using Visual Objects in school. As soon as I starting playing with Delphi, it was an immediate realization, "Oh, this is what VO aspired to be"... It was such a great IDE and tool for developing small "event driven" apps back in the day.
I am in a similar same boat. Its way more correct than not for the tasks I give it. For simple queries about, say, CLI tools I dont use that often, or regex formulations, I find it handy as when it gives the answer Its easy to test if its right or not. If it gets it wrong, I work with Claude to get to the right answer.
I think quality is something at least there is choice on. But even then, the lowest quality of materials now seems way above anything my 1940s war-time-four that I grew up in in Willowdale. It was just tarpaper "brick" over the frame. We didnt feel "poor" or anything as thats what all the houses were. I was lucky to buy my first house in 97 at the bottom of the market in Waterloo. An 1890s house on a 133x66 lot. House was absolute mishmash of "left over parts" as one contractor friend of mine described it. My wife and I saved up and did a full teardown in 2016 (again as luck would have it) at a low point in construction costs. My general contractor said it would now be 3x to do the same project due to labour and material costs. But, going through the process I could do anything I wanted. Fresh timber, or timber that was properly aged. Steel beams, or wood. You can choose "quality" it just is gonna cost. But that 3x jump (not even taking into account land costs) pre-covid vs post covid is.... eye popping.
Would be useful to see the cost of just the land as well if thats possible. As others have pointed out, the size and feature expectation inflation has to be factored in here. The little "wartime 4" I grew up in north of Toronto was smaller than a lot of "garage-ma-halls" these days and didn't really have insulation. It was a regular feature in winters to get ice on the living room window. My "modest" (by today's standards) house would be a rich persons place in the 70s.
similar experience with perl scripts being re-written into golang. Crazy good experience with Claude
haha, same!
I suspect the distributed cracking will move to the same pattern as the SMTP/pop3 brute force guys did and use one IP per x+1 seconds where x=the ssh penalty window. We have seen this on our customer facing smtp server where we have hundreds of remote compromised IPs trying each one password per 30-60min. Still, I welcome this change as there are enough single prick attackers out there where this will help cut down on the size of the logs to process / digest.
These were from a while ago but the article implied they were new which they are not. Details at https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/v2.6.10/Changes.rst
these were from March ?!? https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/v2.6.10/Changes.rst
Any discussion around this with more details ? I was surprised nothing mentioned on the OpenVPN list
It says, its says.... "Drink Ovalteenus"
In all seriousness though, I find this such an amazing project to follow regardless of the outcome(s)
Love it! I feverishly consumed every computer mag I could get my hands on back then, and there is something about those images that still capture my imagination and wonder today. I guess thats a testament to the artist!
really excellent software I have been using for a long time to manage snapshots!
From what I remember, he was a really good teacher too!
TBH, my heart fluttered a bit when I saw the 2001 keyboard pictures. It was magic when I discovered the PET in the 80s.... I was a typical disengaged teen at school up until that point, and by next summer I PAID money out of my own pocket to take a course on 6502 Assembler taught by Steve Punter on the other side of Toronto in a public library basement. Awww, exciting nostalgia shooting directly into my veins :)
Straight up Smartwool. I use the same weight usually and just change out the height based on winter vs summer. But some of the other brands of 100% wool work well for me too.
For me, its always wool socks, but for shorts and shirt, polyester wicks the sweat away much better for me than cotton.
I am a long distance rec runner, and I use merino wool throughout the year (4 seasons in Canada). Since I started running ~ 15yrs ago I tried various blends/synthetics, nothing comes close to reduced odor, nor performance in general.
The graph was trending down (if the #s are to be actually reliable) since the late 2000s, which was a consistent period of cheap money / low interest rates. If the recent higher interest rates were the driving factor, you would think the trend line would have been more stable leading up to Covid and then higher rates.
It seems awfully trivial but in the context of a positive security announcement

Very nice to hear! Way to go!!
It really was an amazing time. Seeing that bootup screen with the blue on blue still turns on that feeling of, "Exciting discovery awaits".... Prior to accidentally taking "Computer Science" in school (it was that or drafting), I had no idea what it was about. It was like trying heroin for the first time. Commodore Pets at school and a year later, I worked my ass off all summer the save up to buy a C-64 when it first came out. Parents chipped in for the tape recorder.
I still see a good amount, but I think I am better at blocking them through distributed firewall sensors and such. Also, I think there is an opportunity cost. When you hear how lucrative other hacking avenues are, why bother with crappy little accounts that probably dont monetize for that much vs activities that are far more lucrative

The numbers in that story (even at the low end) are eye popping :(
Some of the early 2001 PETs had them IIRC. I dont know what it was, but when I took computers in highschool there were still a few of the old ones in the class that had 4K and crappy keyboards and I think and there was something that didnt run on them. Hence it was a rush to reserve the fancy new 4xxx series.

Ooooh, the nostalgia looking at those pics.
