Appreciate this, I was feeling the same way as the original comment. It looks maybe over-sharpened, but I don't see anything as glaring as the text of the article makes it sound! (…

One thing I've worried about with self-hosting small (or smol) services is that I'm responsible for securing them against attackers. Even if my circle is 15 people using a particul…

This is exactly like that time on TNG they used random phaser settings to get a single shot on a Borg drone before they blocked it

I guess the thing about dragons was true; it's not mentioned in this list.

I'm liking vimwiki, for what it's worth. It feels like a pretty small set of changes to vim that make the wiki stuff "just work", and otherwise it's my regular ass plaintext world …

There's an open source app that does it, AirGuard: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.seemoo.at_t... So I don't think it's a technical limitation.

I was really amused by this. Also if you try to visit over HTTPS, it serves up an expired certificate.

The Higgs boson was expected though, while this claimed boson is not predicted by the model at all?

Do you think he would notice if the test machine downloaded a ~100MB file from the web?

The cost of living is about to skyrocket in Seattle, if I had to guess.

There are crypto functions that are not amenable to quick solutions with quantum computers, right? Is there any reason why we wouldn't start migrating to those functions today? It …

The problem with noise is that your signal has to be bigger than the noise in order to be intelligible. Preferably you'd find a channel with less noise, not more.

They should have said "Cadillac" here, based on the table. It's a mistake.

For one thing, you can safely go a lot faster on asphalt than on dirt while still being able to round corners and come to a stop.

I got an "error connecting to the database" type of message. I think the entire site was having trouble with the HN traffic spike.
