When you've been given an epidural, you are generally required to be in a bed. (This doesn't answer your question, but I think it is relevant.)

Thanks! I did not know that. That changes a lot.

I'm not sure I follow. I am a US citizen and have never lived abroad, but my understanding is that US Citizens living abroad must still pay the US a full federal income tax. It's g…

https://www.ic3.gov You won't hear back from them, though. But, at least for US citizens (and possibly for anyone?), this is as far as I know the closest thing there is to an "Inte…

As per the demo, in order for Siri to rotate your passwords "for you", you have to open the Password app, go to their dashboard on weak or exposed passwords, and click a button ask…

You’re welcome! I only ran in to this last week and I might not have this straight yet because I haven’t had time to sit and untangle it. I have a private repo that has a release w…

Yup, I’ve done this. I use a fly.io proxy that runs nginx, fail2ban, and that forwards to my tailnet where Caddy resolves to the actual instance. It’s critical that you disable loc…

This is called KYC and is a standard part of operating a financial service. Seems to me like it should be part of internet infrastructure services as well. And, I thought, in some …

There are strict rules about not talking about open investigations because of so-called "Tipping-off" rules. It can carry some pretty serious penalties - jail time, fines. I agree …

Thanks... hence, 3-2-1 backups with offsite :) appreciate it though. Will definitely be rolling my own NAS in the future, I just needed something easy at the time.

Having worked in compliance engineering I have also reported through the IC3 portal, and spoken with lawyers and analysts who register with FinCEN (which, to be clear, is maybe jus…

Same. I lost a lot of photos this way. I've recently moved over to Immich + Borg backup with a 3-2-1 backup between a local synology NAS and BorgBase. Painful lesson, but at least …

I've recently started hosting my own forgejo instance. It works so well! Free tailscale for connectivity. I expose mine over fly.io proxy, also free, but not to be done without cau…

It's a pretty common feature of youtube creator studio. https://www.theverge.com/news/840789/youtube-video-title-a-b...

Same! I've also recently exposed mine to the internet through a fly.io proxy, though. So far, no issues, but I'm keeping a close eye.

Correct. Not sure about a sql archive, but the kiwix ZIM archive of the top 1M English articles including (downsized but not minimized) images is 43GiB: https://download.kiwix.org/…

I don't know; we also grow corn for ethanol and add it to gas.

It goes a lot further than plan mode though, in fact I would say the key difference of mikado refactors from waterfall refactors is that you don’t do all the planning up front with…

I’ve been using a form of the Mikado Method based on a specific ordering of git commits (by message prefix) along with some pre commit hook scripts, governed by a document: https:/…

Thanks, it's also available via my 1password cloud account, so it'd have to be a joint fire at my home and the 1password data center (and my phone, for that matter). Pretty bad day…

I recently orchestrated this, although in my case I've chosen to use 1password's cloud based store as my primary secret store, so I'm accepting some exposure right off the bat that…

I've sworn off Sony products - well, as much as one can do so - for the past, what, 20 years? - because of that. It's kind of funny to me because I don't usually have a high opinio…

I just deployed my own forgejo instance on my private tailnet this week. I've had a ton of fun mirroring up to or down from github, I set up a devpi proxy for my python packages, a…

A quick search for "Audi recall" shows several recalls this year. Here's the first official link I found: https://www.audiusa.com/en/compliance/takata/
