Just to supplement your point with an anecdote: my first "proper" Jellyfin host was a retired Optiplex 3020. I added a 128GB SSD through one of those silly CD drive bay adapters an…

Their articles seem to load fine in my reader (Fluent) if I fetch them as they're published. Beyond that though, if I try to fetch the full content or open the article in my browse…

2019-23. It's worth noting that GroupMe sticking around was honestly probably a byproduct of my own circles and the specific campus culture to a certain extent.

When I finished my undergrad a few years ago, we were relying heavily on GroupMe chats, with the occasional Slack and one or two LinkedIn groups mixed in. Discord was just starting…

Great. As if Learn articles weren't already a mess to begin with. A few weeks ago, I needed some syntax information to help with building out a PowerShell script. The input and out…

Adding onto that, the last quarter or so of the article is spent quoting William Rampe of the Institute for Energy Research. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_for_Energy_Rese…

Wouldn't that imply that >80% of all monitored telnet sessions were exploit attempts for the specific CVE in question? Even with the scale of modern botnets, that seems unrealistic…

In no particular order: 404 Media, Ars Technica, BleepingComputer, The Register, The Verge, and Tomshardware. These usually sit in the corner of my screen through the day. Some are…

Seconding this. I have one for my work desk, where (surprisingly enough) it made a lot of sense. The DPI isn't as big of an issue as people make it out to be if your workflow doesn…

Just a nitpick: analog NTSC was roughly 480 i at (just under) 30 FPS. The latter is significant, as 3:2 pulldown (as would have been necessary if the station's cameras were scannin…

Just a guess, but Google Maps has (had?) an integration with Spotify that adds basic playback controls below the map view during navigation. It's meant to keep you from needing to …

IMO, poor website UX plays a big part in this too. People are far less likely to Google "[city] public works" if "public works" is a top-level menu item on the city website. When y…

You are correct. This is a consideration at all levels of government currently, with faith in those grants' persistence varying based on an individual recipient's responsibilities.…

Absolutely, and that's a risk that we carry, especially in the public sector. That being said though, I don't know if adopting a better-regulated domain is itself enough to allevia…

Just my $0.02 as a net/sysadmin for a small municipality in the US: A big part of why we haven't been able/bothered to migrate to a proper .gov domain boils down to the amount of t…

> The time to do something to standout is while you are working. This is an issue I ran into recently during my post-undergrad job hunt. Having exited college without an internship…

While I have the chance here, I want to say thanks to you and your team for the amazing work that you all are doing. I doubt you need further validation, but believe me when I say …

Would you be willing to elaborate on what you've seen a bit? I'm on the last semester of my CS degree now and have definitely seen a lot of similar effects as a result of Zoom cour…

This is fascinating and absolutely could be its own submission. Excellent work.

This is doubled by the fact that lots of boaters will try to keep their phone as far from the water as possible for safety's sake. In practice, using your phone is better than usin…

If my memory serves, every boat I've ever been on has had one. In my experience though, it rarely gets used, especially if the individual driving is also fishing. The article state…

Slightly unrelated, but I had no idea that Techmoan had a second channel. I wonder if he'll use it more in the future.

Something like this happened to me this past Fall. I took an undergrad fundamentals of networking course that was honestly fairly surface-level and simple, but the professor put a …

> The best these people may have tried, and failed to ever reach and enjoy the true quality, having - indeed - some complexity behind it, is in visiting Starbucks. This is a tangen…

For a high-quality brew, you absolutely want to buy whole beans and grind them immediately before use. However, you definitely can buy pre-ground beans in the states or grind them …
