Information is default low-trust unless you have reason to extend trust to the source and that's been the case for thousands of years, if not the entirety of human existence. We no…

and the xAI data centers are uniquely dirty and polluting because they don't have sufficient grid connectivity and are running on generator 24x7. This isn't a problem for the vast …

AI or not, it's unconscionable that victims of compulsory legal processes by way of mistaken identity are not made whole.

Unlike enterprise datacenters, systems inside these datacenters are tightly coupled to compute system design to eke out PUE, so network cabling, electrical, and cooling to a lesser…

I've worked in various teams on the infrastructure side of a FAANG from early career/L4 to sr staff eng/L7 and have always been encouraged and rewarded for asking questions, even w…

at the same time you have endless stories of people losing family and friends to cancer because a doctor dismissed complaints as anxiety or needing to exercise more leading to canc…

IPv4 continues to be available to entities that have a need that fits a particular policy shape, just most people don't. Specifically, you can get IPv4 /24s for IPv6 transition pur…

Trivially on their (and qnap's) amd64 systems at least. There are some quirks where they are more similar to an embedded system than a PC, but it's not a big deal. Things like cons…

There’s secret from an adversary and then there’s internal compartmentalization. You could have 100s of people who have a business need to look at syslog from a router, but approxi…

TFA asserts that Git LFS is bad for several reasons including because proprietary with vendor lock-in which I don't think is fair to claim. GitHub provided an open client and serve…

Reuters builds software for a variety of fields and maintains datasets that would be useful in identifying if, say, an email with an invoice purporting to be from a specific compan…

I've never worked in defense. Why do you equate working in those regions with working in defense?

I'm curious how well this article resonates with people outside a particular bubble (vs. being puzzling if you are inside a different bubble.) The statement that Anduril sponsoring…

Tailscale intentionally overrides your device's routing table to force traffic between hosts in the same subnet to go over a Wireguard tunnel instead of bypassing it. They do this …

> Because, for whatever reason I’ve yet to grasp, homelab folks like to implement Tailscale as some sort of “secure virtual network” abstraction layer - think something similar to …

Could you elaborate on what you find “vile and disgusting“ about that meme?

It works for me? That's normal behavior if you aren't signed into Twitter :( Summary of thread: Society doesn't handle 2nd order consequences well. NK cryptolocker attack on health…

She was one of the people who literally built the technical foundation of the world we know. That alone justifies all the upvotes. The fact that she did that on top of basically st…

I'm normally on a very minimal dose. I have, prior to getting timer tops and forgetting that I'd already taken med, taken >100mg of dextroamphetamine without feeling high and witho…

Maybe addictive to people without ADHD… They are so unaddictive to people with ADHD that remembering to take them can be challenging.

I have several CO2 monitors including some from AirThings, Aranet4, and a industrial sensor in the form of a Vaisala GMP252 CO2 probe. They all track closely enough that I don't wo…
