Yep, same here. fail2ban and some http 444 helps out.

Because Steam... /s

Cosmic is really good. But whenever they integrate Nightshift (or the like), then it will be great.

Learning Morse code is like learning a new language.

It is not. Cat is still spelled cat.

I passed my 20 wpm morse code license 30+ years ago, and when I hear code to this day, it sounds just as natural as someone spelling cat as "See Aye Tee".

They could gain a shedload of market share by...

... having end user replaceable DDR5 RAM and end user replaceable storage. Even if it is a low end underpowered laptop.

Not everyone needs to render 8K videos in 5 minutes.

Back when I designed phones, there was a minimum order of 50K units before an OEM would talk to you, and even then, they usually had a like-unit already in the production pipeline so they wouldn't have to retool everything.

I use GnuPG daily and mandate that everyone in our organization do the same. As part of the onboarding process, I have a doc explaining how to install GnuPG, generate keys and how to share their public key in a specific place in our network.

Once you force people to do it, it is not terrible once they get the hang of it.

Easy

vbezhenar, this is your grandmother. I just got an email from you with a bunch of gobbledygook and I can't read it. /s

If it were that easy, everyone would be doing it.

I'm just a little bit older, and have to work a little longer due to some personal things.

But, as it stands today, I rarely touch any tech outside of work. Heck, I seldom ever bring my cell phone outside the home.

I long for the day, I can close my laptop lid and not open it again.

I have visited this here and there for the past 20+ years.

The real joke is the "Obama Phone" meme from back in the day, is from the Lifeline project that was started by Reagan.

It's funny to see how all the history has been scrubbed from the Wikipedia entry.

To put that in perspective

Star Wars debuted 37 years after World War II

Star Wars debuted 49 years from now

(Now I feel really old)

Can I finally find a cosmoline packed Jeep in the original crate for $50? /s

I wish I had jumped on those offers back when they were in the back of Boys Life, Popular Mechanics, and SOF magazines back in the day.

No doubt. I found a Fellow Ode cheap, and upgraded to the Gen 2 burrs. My coffee went from a little better than 2 am truck stop coffee, to something better than you can get at a cafe.

I am using a Breville precision brewer, but would love to upgrade to a Moccamaster one day.

The last time I built my own GPS network, I used a sextant, a watch set to UTC and nautical tables to determine where the orbiting bodies were.

Depending on your model or version, it's not hard.

I'm rocking a newer Paperwhite Special Edition, with KOreader installed.

And it is faster than the internet. That's why high speed traders are starting to use HF.

Forgive me for not looking it up at the moment, but one of them is/was a compenent of rocket fuel, which teenage me loved.

It's hydrazine.

I'm going out to search for morels this weekend

I don't have any addictions in my life, but one. That's when morel season is in swing, I am in full hunt mode.

Hell, I got a few rounds of Trade Wars in on one of them a while back.

Sheldon Brown's website is to bicycles, as Arch Linux Wiki is to linux.

I run HA on another RPi, so I am familiar.

On the weather station I wrote to the SD card 1,068,266 database records, along with all the nginx logs, etc...

it's common enough of a problem

It's probably survivorship bias, where everyone complains about SD card corruption, while those with no issues really don't say anything. Well, except my comments today.

it will kill the card from IO cycles.

It might not. I have a Raspberry Pi 2 that has been running a weather station for over 12 years, and it has been on the original SD card. I have other RPi's doing dumb things around the house and I have never had an SD card failure.

YMMV and all that.

Yes, I am very familiar with zbarimg and qrencode. But, other people might not be, and that's why just scanning a QR code works. Not everyone has Bitwarden, 1Password, Pass, keepass, etc.... also these tools may not be approved by your security teams.

And we are talking about the root account for your production AWS account. No need to get fancy. Just print the QR code, and put it in a safe hoping you never need it.

You print the MFA QR code, and give it to an executive that locks it up in a safe or offsite storage.

In a past life, we printed the MFA QR code and the head of finance put it into a safe.

Or a printer...

Or a phone ...

Or a router ...

Do people like the Macbook Neo?

People have been begging for MacOS on the iPad... and here it is, but in different clothing. The Neo is just a test bed before committing MacOS to the iPad.
