One big thing RHEL has going for it is that it has a DISA STIG, which Ubuntu/Debian/other distros lack, so it's firmly cemented as the distro of choice for some DoD networks. Other…

As the other commenters said, my Moto G Power has one, and you use the earbud cord as the antenna. It's super useful when storms knock out communication towers in our area because …

Not sure if it's just StackOverflow or the whole of StackExchange. I used to be active in another StackExchange subject site and it was incredibly toxic (and I say this as someone …

I agree. There's a big difference in being lonely and being alone. There's also a big difference between isolation and loneliness. You can be isolated but not lonely, and likewise …

Nana used to tell people "my grandson is a rocket scientist" lol. I work on ARINC653 OSes, which do sometimes go into rockets, but mostly just aircraft.

Oooff.. these are hard-hitting stories for me. I can relate similar anecdotal evidence though; my parents called just today to vent about the cost of a carton of eggs at the discou…

Zapier is really awesome for the non-tech crowd. I think this space is only going to continue to grow. I decided to build https://atlasconnex.com for developers who need more fine-…

Moved a SaaS tool from Linode to DigitalOcean. Reason for the move was security driven. DO's K8S volumes are LUKS encrypted at rest by default; one less thing in your security cont…

Agreed here. I do this type work for a career, and if you need safety critical + real time (which really just means known and bounded time) guarantees, anything with an ME type dev…

I find this really interesting, and definitely sad. I wonder if it's because as people become more educated, they understand (or at least perceive) that their individual life is in…

I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one who did this kind of thing as a child. For me it was "archive" which I was pronouncing "ar-chiff" as opposed to "ar-kive". Took a while to…

I'm in your camp on this one. The new features are neat, but MIDI 1.0 being stupid-simple is its killer feature to me. Plus everything from the last 30yrs supporting it is a big pl…

I stood one of these up last year to play around with it. It works flawlessly but the Android app destroyed my battery life. If that has gotten better, it's probably a fantastic so…

Yep, for the past couple months, I get a few a week that slip in. They all have garbage formatting and are wildly obvious.
