An annoying trend I've been seeing recently, which the GitHub repo behind this does, is having better documentation for the robots than there is for the users. Compare the README.m…

It's far more likely to be "not allowed to ignore a serious* call out" than a budget or training conspiracy... *Serious as in, supposed shootings / murders / kidnappings etc - not …

The chances are, if you live somewhere like that, somewhere that actually has a low noise floor for RF, then you likely also have a lot of space to cover with your wifi - and that …

Your LAN can handle it :) If the current setup can't, plugging the cameras and the NVR into a separate switch and none of that traffic will go near the rest of your LAN. Wifi on th…

Peer to peer? Self hosted stuff? (not sure how these work with starlink specifically, but - they should work, even if for whatever reason they don't)

While technically, yes, you are correct. It kinda misses the point - developers are more and more working with containers. Doing this on a Mac is an awful experience compared to do…

> this device can handle a lot: firewalls, user management and access control for home media and file servers, and even some traffic control in data centers – without the need for …

I'm sure they are perfectly capable of signing up. But, I'd bet they are expressly forbidden from doing it. Signups typically involve agreeing to some terms, and you absolutely don…

> 1. Since 2020, it's illegal to send PII (personally identifiable) data to the US because of the removal of the Privacy Shield Framework [2] Minor nit - "PII" really isn't the rig…

I stand corrected - not everyone can agree! In reality, as a service provider, you have no ability to determine if the client IP belongs to an individual or not - so you have no ch…

Honestly, it's not that big a leap to reach this interpretation. 1) Your IP address is considered personal data, as it can be used to identify you. In general, everyone can see and…

That's not strictly true - or at least - it's missing a piece. When a company decides to use a product, it needs to ensure that product is legal to use in their jurisdiction(s). If…

They probably have 100 other apps and deploying this one without docker would make it a snowflake.

> but from my experience with Jenkins, I've seen using passwords in plaintext so many times, even in big companies I reckon this has to do with how the CI tools are configured. Eve…

> This article ignores the most common problem I have with DNS these days which can roughly be construed as: What is actually handling resolution on my system? This does my nut in …

That's not always possible & wise, e.g. the example given is the Kubernetes search/ndots values. Changing this would break the expected "API" between the applications in Kube and t…

On the `ndots` problem, it's best to get in the habit of using fully qualified names when you know them. A fully qualified DNS name ends in a period. Continuing the example in the …

Need? They most likely don't need it. They got it back in the day (prob mid-90's) because they asked for it - IP space used to handed out like candy on Halloween.. Now that it's a …

I'm not 100% sure of all the details, but archive.org has some exceptions[1] to the DMCA & thanks to California, it's officially considered a library - which again, I believe gives…

> that's an unintended consequence No, it's entirely unrelated to NAT. That's a consequence of the firewall on the router. IPv6 doesn't get rid of the firewall.

I don't see anything in there that requires `adb uninstall com.sony.foo` to work, for example? The command should generally work, sure, but that doesn't appear to require the comma…

> SPF will verify, but for the wrong domain I can see that argument, but - it's kinda a philosophical question about "who the sender is". Is the the person who typed out the text? …

One of SPF's shortcomings is that is doesn't act upon the `From` header at all, which is the name/address the recipient most often is shown. Instead, it acts upon the `Return-Path`…

It's about as thin as it can be, given the requirements for offline validation, and the environment it's designed for (airports / other national borders etc). Nobody wants every ve…

Theres a whole extra layer of legal complexity here :) e.g. some countries will consider you fully vaccinated X weeks after your 2nd jab of a specific vaccine. Others will say it's…
