I enjoyed the shout out for EFnet.

Calling in from the 20s crowd. It's been years since anyone I know cared about snap. If it's not on Instagram, it didn't happen.

After a bit of Googling, it looks a company has complied and packged rsync for Windows at a cost of $19 per license @ https://www.itefix.net/cwrsync

I found a Github repo with an older (2017) version of cwRsync that may be from before it went behind a paywall @ https://github.com/billyc/cwrsync-installer

This is even heavier. It's a full blown Ubuntu install.

Cygwin just feels "heavy" when all I want is rsync. Without any package management (that I'm aware of) I can't just install rsync and whatever other dependencies it has, I have to put hunderds? more binaries on my system.

"alive and well" might be a stretch. I don't know a soul who plugs their devices into their computers. Using VLC to watch media is also a blast from the past. Grandpa, is that you?

It looks like $300 is enough to buy the IMEI data.

Hello, I appreciate the reply but I was looking to replace my OpenVPN solution which allows me to visit websites that aren't publicly accessible. Going the htpass route would require opening up each individual service to the Internet and then mapping the internal ports to a unique external port (as they all listen on port 80)

Oh this is great. Thank you!

This might be a silly question but I've honestly tried to Google it without any success. Is there an easy way to put something like this behind a web based "portal". Like, I'd love to have an external facing login site that would allow me to access internal resources like this. I currently use OpenVPN but it'd be neat if this could be done via a web based portal without the need for a heavy VPN solution. Anyone have any suggestions?

..and then be forced add the new card to every service you have set to auto-pay like Amazon, Steam, Audible, Verizon, etc.

businessinsider.com requires disabling AdBlocking to view the article. No Thanks.

This seems like a really complex way to solve a simple problem. Have an intern spend a day creating Visio diagrams of each room capturing model numbers. Trying to do this from a network perspective just seems like an easy way to miss half the systems or whatever percentage isn't powered on or connected.

I was with you up until the part about cloud computing and indie developers. I don't see the connection. Steam on the other hand provides a great platform for indie developers to release their games and get some attention.

I live in the West Village and have ONE choice... Spectrum :(

Trusted certification authorities are not issuing DV SSL certificates (with domain verification) for IP-addresses; because it creates certain security threats .

It seems like every day somebody has figured out how to beat type 2 diabetes. I just read Proteinaholic by Dr. Garth Davis who advocates a vegan lifestyle (while telling you that carbs are not the enemy) to cure diabetes.

Is there somewhere in the world that still charges per SMS?

280k is only around $150/hour which isn't unreasonable at all, if anything maybe even a bit low. I know 1099 contractors that bill higher and do less..

From Wikipedia.. "It is often asserted among enthusiasts' groups that the primary cause of the failure of the leather flap was rats, attracted to the tallow, gnawing at it. Although rats are said to have been drawn into the traction pipe in the early days, there was no reference to this at the crisis meeting described above."

You were trading stocks in the 4th grade?

My credit card gets stolen yearly. Sure, they can reverse the charges but changing the number everywhere is annoying..

While I enjoy the story, I find it hard to believe a second could provide any useful advantage.

I pay $4000/month for a crummy apartment on the lower west side..

I've found Linux usually works great on low end desktops with limited use (such as web browsing) but I've had many problems with modern GPUs and multiple displays. I upgraded to a 4k monitor and wanted to use my old monitor as a secondary and it required manual editing of configurations to support a setup with two monitors and two different resolutions. This is stuff that has worked on Windows or Mac for decades that Linux still hasn't figured out.

Once you use PF, you can't really go back to iptables. The fact that you still can't create anchors or anything equivalent in iptables blows my mind. I can look at any of my older configurations from PF and understand what I was doing very quickly compared to iptables which is much harder to read and much less intuitive.

Could you share why you think it would impact the price of Bitcoin? With a market cap of 186 billion dollars, and a daily volume of 10 billion I couldn't see how it'd have that much of an impact.

Wow, this looks super neat. How does it work in practice?
