From memory there was LPAR "Logical Partitions" - which were effectively like a VM. and there was WPAR "Workload Partitions" - which had a shared OS and were more like a container.…

That is less of a problem in the consumer space where the OIDC Auth providers have giant long lived sessions (google/FB/etc). In the government/banking/etc space - there is at leas…

And the next step down that rabbit hole is xlights: https://github.com/xLightsSequencer/xLights

I'll echo this for anyone else in the comments -- You can watch the cricket episode with 0 knowledge of the show and 0 knowledge of cricket. If you haven't ever seen Bluey - it's a…

I'm not sure how true that first statement is anymore. Most of the recommendations I see now are "just get a Bambu labs one". We are much closer to 3D printing as a utility as oppo…

Fun thing with payphones - at least in Australia -- Telstra is investing in upgrading them (at least the ones in the cities). They aren't very useful as phones - but they are incre…

As someone mentioned - the "Arena Starter Kits" worked for us as an intro to the game. The basic rules around commander aren't particularly additionally taxing beyond that. (This i…

yeah. But a high number of pixels and a high number of minutes of battery life work against each other here.

Loopt, OpenAI, WorldCoin.. how many do you need to be serial?

This is hacker news. Sam was the founder of a startup in the very first round of YC. He then later became president of YC. I expect news of him to resonate more around here. And Op…

Lotus Notes used to have that. (Might still do?) https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/41247/changing-...

I've seen a few "Best Current Practise" RFC's around standards implementation. eg: here's one still in draft form for OAuth: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-…

So you're covered for "forgotten" - but "lost" is still an issue. What happens when a user loses their passkey? (stolen phone, no backups, house fire, etc).

If I'm reading the docs right (TBH - I'm probably not) it looks like on a z16 you can get 200 cores and 40TB of Memory on a single "VM" (LPAR). So 1/100th of the CPU and 40% of the…

As someone who used to administer an ADSM server back a long time ago -- I'm curious what the gap between spectrum protect or whatever it's called now and commvault/netbackup? I've…

So make sure you are doing PKCE for public clients. With that, and the redirect URL (and therefore trusting DNS), and the other browser security model stuff…. You’re in fairly good…

> When in human history have we ever intentionally not furthered technological progress? Nuclear weapons?

Scott Morrison (as a Pentecostal) had religion as a minor part of his platform at least. (I know you probably weren't looking at Australian PM's - but he stands out more so than an…

No - but they have been referred to as "cool" before. Gotta love the early 90's. https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI

I’ve got a pair of these: https://pixelcontroller.com/store/products/70-f16v4.html on either side of the house - local to where the bulk of the pixels are (2 x megatrees and a matr…

Here’s an example - not sure on HN discussion: https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/registration/registration-fe...

For a home Christmas light display or something similar - I guess 10k can count as large. (I’m running ~14k, about 1100 of them from WLED). For commercial/art installations - I don…

WLED has sound reactive plugins for built-in effects. Looks like there's some new stuff in .14 for this as well -- but I haven't followed closely. Or if you wanted to externalise i…

I'm curious -- why something small like a DigQuad and not something beefier like a Falcon/Kulp? (I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "large scale" -- but WLED/ESP32 doesn't reall…
