I've seen some routers that will just silently redirect anything on port 53 to their own idea of the best dns server to use. That would probably "fix" this problem, but I always th…

I mean json might not be the best example since for a long time people would run json through a javascript engine to parse it but I can see your point.

I mean I disable javascript embedded in pdf and feel like it would have been better to not have that feature. It would spare people from the invoice.pdf email attachment viruses be…

calling it garbage seems kinda harsh, but I think they are moving more to using a javascript rendering method instead of xul. I remember reading about it a while back. I don't real…

Sometimes its nice to have a history like that because then maybe you are thinking of trying the thing they tried that wouldn't work and it would save you some time trying it if yo…

This saved us a couple times. At least until I had time to add monitoring to their old system to track disk usage. It was also helpful to use a tool called ncdu. It helps you visua…

I feel like its because other than the user, the people involved have a benefit to running native instead of as a webapp. The phone OS companies get their percent of apps developed…

There might have been a budget surplus but we were still in debt. https://www.investopedia.com/us-national-debt-by-year-749929... Here they show the debt increasing through the 90s…

Adobe added embedded javascript to pdfs. Its an option to turn it off but its enabled by default. I turned mine off a long time back and never notice any problems but I don't use a…

This is cool. I did something similar at my work using smokeping and the #@vtext.com to send the texts. https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/

It does seem like they have destroyed most of the competition. I was frustrated with the ad-blocking the other day and looking for a video but the whole first page of links was all…

I mean I don't know if I would say the land is just abandoned. Some farmland that people let go back to forest can also have the trees harvested from it periodically so its still p…

It's kinda ironic to post that on a site that uses var in its javascript

I always though something like ublock origin should be built in with a standard format for the block list rules so people could just use different rules lists if they wanted to. It…

The NOAA has an api here: https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api It's free to use, but they have rate limits. I was always wanting to set up something like that too…

They don't mention any extra costs for people to manage the on premise setup. I mean its probably still a savings for them but it seems weird to leave that out.

yeah, its pretty cool how most of these photos they were trying to take a picture of something else and the red sprites just happened to be in the right place because of a storm fr…

Here's an article with some pictures in case anyone else was curious about red sprites like I was. https://earthsky.org/earth/definition-what-are-lightning-spr...

Probably not for live shared audio/video

Hezbollah has been warning its members not to use cell phones because they get targeted by using them too. Seems like the pagers were supposed to be the workaround for that. https:…

On their site they say it can run at 220V 15A if you got that. https://docs.tinygrad.org/tinybox/

I thought SUSE had a desktop version. They used to sell it at places like walmart back when you'd get linux on cd/dvd media, but its been a long time since I've seen that. There is…
