This is probably a better thread: https://twitter.com/bmastenbrook/status/1335322652462829568

For those wondering how bad the issue is, check out this[1] screenshot of a diff between the TLS/non-TLS html from www.example.com. Here's "corrupted" UTF-8 characters expressed as…

I think the path to get us there (reshoring chips) would be extremely painful, but it certainly would be a better position for the United States to restore our ability to produce t…

Check out my install script linked earlier. If you already have the GPS unit attached and tested, you could probably be up and running again in a few minutes (make sure to change t…

I just built one of these. It's fun to have a little computer that can synchronize highly accurate time without an internet connection by listening to things in outer space! I buil…

That’s funny you say that. One of my pet projects was using google sheets to control SSH access with non-techies. It worked surprisingly well. https://github.com/stephen-mw/gdoc_ss…

I never published it, but I actually wrote a service that uses google sheets to manage SSH access on your servers. Users simply submit a google form with their SSH key, and it's au…

Feel free to email. Please provide as much information for reproducing it as possible. Thanks!

Very nice! I see this as the next evolution to the phusion's custom init system[0], which was created to solve largely the same problems. I should be able to take Yelp's dumb-init …

If you email me at [redacted] I can forward it to somebody who may be able to help.

> he simply introduced new words into the still-inchoate English language when none seemed to do the trick; Browne is responsible for “hallucination” and “suicide,” along with abou…

My brief reading of the iOS guidelines [0] says this is not allowed: > 2.25 Apps that display Apps other than your own for purchase or promotion in a manner similar to or confusing…

Runit is the default system daemon for Phusion's baseimage-docker Ubuntu image[0]. I've used it in a basic manner and have been very happy with it. For containers it hits a real sw…

From time to time I think about university apart from academics. I went to a state school and left w/ around $15k in student loan debt, but made some of the best memories of my lif…

Some quick tips for securing SSH: 1. Disable password authentication altogether 2. Create and use keypairs 3. Add an "AllowUsers foo" line to /etc/ssh/sshd_config so that only your…

I very much doubt Apple sells anything at a loss. It's really not their style. Their margins are the envy of the entire industry, and Apple takes home 90% of cell phone profits[0] …

Some of us prefer this screen size. I'm actually holding off until the 6s to see if they launch a model with a small screen.

I found iterm2 to be my most-missed piece of software when switching to linux desktop. Terminator just doesn't compare with ease-of-use, look, and feel. Gnome terminal is nice but …

Why not just use AWS? Seems like you went from bad to slightly better. There's no reason to fear virtualization, and the automation is definitely one of the best aspects of running…

I think the H1B program is great when it works, and I've seen it function because I've worked with some amazing and talented workers from countries such as India, Spain, France, et…

Unfortunately that's simply not the same. Python libraries many times still require header files to be present, which means on a host you want to install PyOpenSSL you must also in…

I checked this out when it was part of Stripe. I found it worked very well for my limited use-cases. Personally I just prefer python and boto for most of my AWS tools, but times wh…
