I think you're assuming that updating software/hardware to more recent versions is sufficient to prevent a nation-state from wreaking havoc, and I'm not sure that's true. When it c…

There are two camps: people who are fans of Haber Bosch because it feeds most of humanity, and absolute psychopaths.

Sure but a system that breaks if it doesn't get exactly 86,400,000 millisecond scale scheduled events in a day has already been driving your SRE team insane.

I don't understand why people are so negative about IPv6. I have done essentially zero home networking work and I just ran this successfully. It just works! ``` > ping6 google.com …

Why would you be running sudo in production? A production environment should usually be setup up properly with explicit roles and normal access control. Sudo is kind of a UX tool f…

Can you share how the scripts work? That seems to be the most interesting part, but is omitted from the article. The only technical details are UART + an opto-coupler. > Both devic…

I'm not sure which dimensions you're talking about, but in terms of bed size the F-150 has been very consistent over the years (although I think Crew Cabs — although they always ex…

This package also seems to just have a misbehaving github action that is in a loop.

This is a lot of fuss when you can get a batch update to stay within a few minutes of latency. You only have this problem if you are very insistent on both (1) very near real-time,…

Wikipedia is based in San Francisco. Why can't they just tell the UK to pound sand?

Perhaps change the link to the original NASA JPL post: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/voyager-2-illuminates-boundary...

No one is being replaced 1:1, but everyone is going to be downsizing (and that’s mostly the same thing). You need a lot fewer managers if your team is 5-20% what it needed to be a …

256 bit symmetric cryptography keys are a bit like picking one atom in the universe (10^80 atoms, or 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000…
