"Attempt at a coup"? I assure you if those folks had attempted a coup they most likely would have succeeded. Those folks were there to make a statement and have the best party sinc…

It is yes - in situations like that, your best bet is to view the SSL cert details. Of course, only if you trust the issuer. ;)

Not really the Pi's fault - really it's AI causing the massive increase in HW prices (notably RAM in this case) that has really destroyed the market for the Pi's. Same thing happen…

This is kind of ridiculous. The fields are geographical areas, not political or cultural entities, and most of the pople living within a certain field don't have the slightest idea…

Surmountable - "possible to deal with or solve successfully". Does not mean "easy". It means they can be overcome.

Many in the west certainly wouldn't agree with you now, or 100+ years ago. https://xcancel.com/DonBraid/status/1187052993788559360 This is about more than just money though. Politi…

Discussing separation is okay when QC threatens it - hence the clarity act. But when AB wants to do it, they are just a bunch of redneck traitors according to the rest of Canada. (…

Of these, I really only see "indigenous rights/claims" as a particularly difficult issue. For currency, The Maldives, with a relatively small population and tiny GDP has their own …

Incorrect. If you've ever been through Alberta you'd already know that though. Oil & gas fields, and wells, are distributed over much of Alberta. https://static.aer.ca/prd/document…

When the AI scrapers were just getting started, that is basically what I thought - their plan was to scrape / suck up everything they possibly could before people realized what was…

The quality difference between various fans is absolutely huge. I can put in a few Noctua fans and be confident they are going to last 5+ years of running 24x7. Or I can put in 25%…

I've experienced similar with some Southeast Asian cultures as well. I'm a patient person, but it can be frustrating to have to endure 10 minutes of verbal diarrhea that eventually…

> the idea of attending public protests/riots, particularly any directed against the governments that issued me my student visas, sounds like possibly the stupidest move You'd get …

How does one feel bad for a corporation, especially of this size? Double so for one that quite literally removed "Don't be Evil" as its motto and from its code of conduct. The corp…

Please don't twist my words. I've lived in these families and communities on both sides. I clearly said it was anecdotal. I think you missed the whole point of my comment.

Personal anecdote, having lived in a few very poor countries and a few relatively very wealthy ones: 1) In the poor countries, I find people are generally quite happy living their …

Dude had to rewrite traceroute to discover what the first line of the man page description says. > traceroute tracks the route packets taken from an IP network on their way to a gi…

I disagree, obscurity wastes attacker resources and easily fools a lot of simple vulnerability scanners. Obscurity is totally underrated. Attacker resources are limited.

Yep. I just bought a Pi CM5 for my son, for his ClockworkPi uConsole. CAD $200 for the 8GB module. I bought a whole Pi5 16GB not long ago for under CAD $200. I will not be buying a…

Yeah the SDK updates... For sure. Another pain in the ass.

The whole Google Play experience is awful. Recent things I've had to do: 1) Re-submit an app after it was rejected and labelled a gambling app (it wasn't even close - a 15 second l…

That's not Cloudflare trying to make your life hard. It's the reality of how bad the bots have become.
