I stopped drinking alcohol for the new year. I wasn’t an alcoholic, but I’m sure I’ve driven home after consuming enough alcohol to blow above the legal limit. It’s not something I…

One where customers have their own scanners, and their unfounded panic overrides logical analysis by the engineers and admins. We’ve had to patch plenty of stupid “security” bugs j…

Why not link to the English version? It seems intentionally misleading. https://www.kimi.com/user/agreement/userPrivacy?version=v2

There are many people who believe everything must be a grind to get rich. I wish more people stepped back and did things online because they were fun or educational, not because it…

Something I didn’t see mentioned was that this unequal memory access time also affects pcie I/O. If your thread on CPU A needs to get data in or out of a nic on CPU B, your through…

You can sort of do this today with iCloud. Add a custom domain and enable the catch-all forwarding, and you can receive anything@domain.tld and it’s forwarded to you. What you’d lo…

I have over 300 so far. In addition to knowing where spam is coming from, and being able to block it, it also helps prevent correlation across accounts and websites as data leaks o…

This exactly reflects my feelings lately. I have a specific coworker who has gone somewhat overboard - every single code review, answer to any question on email or Teams, every new…

GitHub Copilot refuses to do any security testing or proof-of-concepts for exploits. While I understand why, we pay for Enterprise and I’m working on our proprietary code base. It’…

You’re not locked into vscode. There are plugins for other IDEs, and a ‘copilot’ cli tool very similar to Claude Code’s cli tool. I also wouldn’t say you’re locked into Microsoft’s…

I thought, good thing I've already hit my 5-hour session limit.

Because systemd isn’t an operating system. It’s just providing a mechanism for the OS to store/lookup the user’s birthday. It’s up to individual distros to do the verification (sho…

In what context are people saying this? I’ve never heard anyone proclaim that electronic devices are more reliable than mechanical devices. See for example how people desire cars w…

I’ve used it quite a bit, but just as a natural language frontend to their search engine. I don’t see it as a true alternative to generic chat bots like Claude or ChatGPT, and cert…

Maintainers of "small web" servers are not being forced to use TLS. If you want to put a plaintext HTTP server on port 80 on the Internet, you can totally do that today with no iss…
