No, it's an unreversible hash function. I use this for passwords - no one will ever be able to figure out what ehntru2 was originally.

Initially I was sure you were talking about my Scoutmaster. (The details diverged in the end.) The expected arrival time for camping trips was always something like 9:59am - that w…

$250k is a respectable amount, but shouldn't it be based on a percentage of their revenue? /s

Most of the Reason article's criticism is of its factual reporting. The JEDI thing is indeed an opinion piece (and it's legitimate to criticize a magazine for its opinion pieces be…

The developer of curl has done an analysis of what percent of his CVEs would have been avoided in a memory safe language. I think the answer was a bare majority.

The issue may be that your filters act as ORs whereas someone might interpret them as ANDs. If I filter for Social+Kids and Culinary, the CBD/space cake ones come up.

Is this basically https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ but for SSH? If so, that is great. In the past, it has been great to point my sysadmin team at that site and say "My goal is get …

How did they get to that forest 5 miles away?

Heads up, your resume link isn't publicly viewable.

I tried this with a Brother HL-L23200 printer and an old raspberry pi, and couldn't get it to work. Seemed like something in the stack was OOM'ing - it worked fine for just a page …

The website is mine to modify. I wouldn't go to great lengths to change things to support virtual COM, but if it's just a question of adding a few lines of javascript to listen to …

What do you mean by barcode numbers? UPCs? Barcodes can encode many many different things, some of which are internal, some are proprietary datasets you can buy/license for $$$, an…

Are you using Chromebooks specifically? If so, can I ask which barcode scanner(s) you're using which does work? The easiest solution may just be to buy a different scanner. I did a…

Yes, the scanner is operating as a keyboard HID. I'll look into whether virtual COM could work. Will that still let it type into random webapp pages (how I use it now), or does tha…

Unrelated barcode question, to take advantage of a technical audience with knowledge in such things: I have a use case where users are trying to scan 2d Pharmaceutical Product barc…

Thanks for the suggestion. Any suggested starting points for my research? DDG search for "ansible docker-compose" brings up some suggestions like [1] and [2] but I'm curious if you…

I'm considering k8s, but that also means moving services from on-prem to AKS, getting INF to open up the necessary firewall rules to make the services reachable from on-prem, and s…

So far I've kept things simple, avoided k8s/HashiStack/etc by using docker compose with a simple docker-compose.yml for each server. This has been working well, but I'm starting to…
