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 multiple APs to actually hit appropriate MCS indexes.

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 adopt.

I’ve used this model for a few networks and had a good time. Minimal setup and supports a WPS-like security.

See the diagram in this guide: https://www.motorolacable.com/documents/MM1025-QuickStart-re...

Note both the usage of the PoE (point of entry, not power) filter, as well as the MoCA network encapsulating both DOCSIS and Ethernet traffic.

Some set-top boxes and modems are MoCA compatible, but I prefer using a discrete unit.

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, but those are far less popular)

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 screen readers, or local style sheets to modify things like the small click targets.

I think many in the HN crowd see it as a rejection of the modern bloat and straight up garbage code that many popular sites (particularly news aggregators, looking @ you reddit) tend to become.

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 accessibility. You could argue that using emoji or advocating for emoji use is ableist.

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. NAT based internet access (IGW in AWS) or a private VPC with no IGW and no public on the instance is borderline standard in production cloud deployments these days.

Re: "You will sooner or later..." it's super easy to test for stuff like this with sentinel - I use this and scan dev / stage in my CI pipelines with rapid7 which will SCREAM about stuff like no DB password.

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 systemd-boot and how you can use systemd-analyze and logging to really understand _everything_ that’s going on in your boot chain.

I also really like the capsule firmware update mechanism, I’ve been able to use fwupdmgr to keep all of my devices firmware up to date, from Linux, without freeDOS or windows foolery. Additionally, the Dell UEFI BIOS supports booting right to the firmware update cab or exe, further strengthening the utility of a Linux-only install.

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 and that issue simply isn’t possible right now with Vyvanse. The downside is, it’s $400 a month without insurance, and $100 a month with good insurance.

Because it’s basically dextroamphetamine with a lysine molecule taped on, the psychoactive effects are really similar, but I’d describe it as cleaner if that makes sense. The “killer feature” of the enzymatic release is it’s basically a fixed timing, whereas with XR formulations of Adderall you have a 50/50 blend of immediate and delayed release 3:1 amphetamines. I believe you are correct, it’s not standardized. This, combined with the acids / bases both hurting overall blood levels (think grapefruit juice) means you just have a wildly inconsistent time over long term use of the medicine. For example, I’ve had pharmacies change generics on me without saying anything, I’ve had an inability to get my preferred generics, and I’ve had days where it’s felt like I took nothing at all. The worst are Nuvo and Mallinckrodt in my experience (IR 10mg 2x/day).

I’ve only been using Vyvanse for a week or so, but I can say it’s a marked improvement for me and the lack of a generic is a huge boon with regards to consistency.

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, like a civic vs a mustang. With the weight in the rear, it’s the same thing in reverse. Oversteer is far more easy to correct but rwd is uncommon so the average joe may be unfamiliar.

WRT Porsche toning things down, a modern 911 turbo S is WAY faster than the Carrera GT was, and the GT3 / GT3-RS models are literally street legal road cars with minimal assists.

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.

Android has always been a shitshow,so the gnu link is unsurprising - however I did not find an example of iOS malware.

The point is, "because android does it" is terrible reasoning for naming the thing.

It's exactly the point the author here was trying to make. Google does not control the web or define HTML standards in a vacuum, nor is it the focal point of the internet.

If you have an ARIN allocation, there is no reason you would ever want to decrease the amount of addresses you own. You own them.
