GhettoMaestro··on Google backtracks on search results design
This issue is isolated to you. I use PayPal multiple times per day. It is working fine right now.
GhettoMaestro··on Apple dropped plan for encrypting backups after FBI complained
You’re overthinking it. Create a private key. Protect that key with a pass phrase. If you change your password, you’re really changing the pass phrase.

Does that clear it up at all?

FYI these concepts are originated from military crypto. The foundations are solid. Implementation... well you know how that always is.... one CVE away from perfect!!

GhettoMaestro··on There are too many screens, time to go back to gauges
I don’t mind the displays being screens as long as certain things have mechanical buttons. Eg: The AC/Max AC. Don’t make people go through touchscreen menus that take a minute just to boot. When it’s 100F outside and you need max ac, that minute is a LONG minute.
GhettoMaestro··on Lisping at JPL (2002)
Why? (Legitimately asking)
GhettoMaestro··on Equinix is acquiring Packet
> I didn't know how fast to turn around when I tried to register an account and they insisted I needed to provide a copy of my passport or drivers license.

Hosting / pay for remote virtual stuff is notorious for abuse. I'm surprised AWS doesn't require an ID to get started these days. I understand why smaller player do, though.

GhettoMaestro··on AirPods revenue does not exceed Spotify, Twitter, Snapchat, and Shopify revenue
Glad this was pointed out. That felt weird reading yesterday.
GhettoMaestro··on Sonos: Working with big tech sucks
I really wish people (you) would read.

> The other thing that rings true in the NYT story is the detail that Google told Sonos it would pull Google Assistant support if Sonos enabled simultaneous wake words. That’s the feature which lets speakers listen for both “Alexa” and “Okay Google” at the same time. Google really comes off looking like a bully.

GhettoMaestro··on Airliner Repair, 24/7 (2008)
I’d suspect a lot of those change and go scenarios are backup/redundancy failure. Probably could have made it on a single, but thank god we have regulations saying hell no.
GhettoMaestro··on What are those grids of glass in the sidewalk and why are they purple?
> I live in Phoenix; in my neighborhood it's basically the same way. City comes around, tears up the sidewalk to fix something (water main or such) - and you the homeowner are responsible for fixing the sidewalk. Yay.

What in the holy hell? That's insane and ridiculous. Is this for both residential and commercial? (I could understand the latter slightly more.)

Sounds like a great way to piss off your citizens by cutting a very small corner in what is probably already an expensive endeavor.

GhettoMaestro··on Electric Cars Threaten the Heart of Germany’s Economy
> [...] and CAFE rules on station wagons skew the market in the USA in favor of light SUVs

I never really thought about that. I rarely see station-wagons anymore these days. Great point.

GhettoMaestro··on CapOneMe – a vulnerable cloud environment to demonstrate the Capital One breach
Terraform that shit bro.
GhettoMaestro··on You can't just rename your IT Ops team and call it DevOps
> tailors will be clothing engineers

Probably going to be ridiculed for this, but "clothing engineer" actually sounds "cool" in a very mature market, in my eyes.

GhettoMaestro··on You can't just rename your IT Ops team and call it DevOps
Your perception of a typical sysadmin and their sw-dev skills is widely wrong in that case.

Most sysadmins focus on keeping things running. They are usually taxed to the point that they don't have the luxury of sitting around and writing code to be more efficient.

GhettoMaestro··on Minimalism – An undervalued development skill
Thank you.
GhettoMaestro··on My Business Card Runs Linux
Sorry, but unless you provide other data I still believe this would run afoul of the computer fraud and abuse act (CFAA - 1986).
GhettoMaestro··on My Business Card Runs Linux
Wrong. Second this minute. (420 my man - fuck da US Gov in this respect - they do not have sovereignty over your body or mine)
GhettoMaestro··on Flight stats, entertainment, and trying to crack Widevine
Yup have been doing it for about 3 years now. I love how much value I get in return of little I provide (relatively).
GhettoMaestro··on Russia 'successfully tests' its unplugged internet
Ban me. Do it, you royal faggot.

Bonus points: you linked the same URL twice, you dummy.

These guidelines as you selectively enforce them are a motherfucking joke and the entire site knows it.

Also I was never banned, you truth-twisting faggot.

Fuck off and die loser.

GhettoMaestro··on Minimalism – An undervalued development skill
I deal a lot with white box networking hardware and software and have never encountered this bug. Can you point me to some more info? Thank you.
GhettoMaestro··on Flight stats, entertainment, and trying to crack Widevine
Bonus points: put up an RTL-SDR and feed them ADS-B data you receive. They will give you a free business account! ($50/mo value!!)
GhettoMaestro··on Flight stats, entertainment, and trying to crack Widevine
Props to you for citing ISO 8601. Most folks don’t care :(
GhettoMaestro··on My Business Card Runs Linux
And just like that, you committed a felony.
GhettoMaestro··on The Hottest New Thing in Seasteading Is Land
> Imagine this - a group of super wealthy bound by no laws of any nation but benefiting from them all. Terrifying.

Not really. There is this one interesting thing called the US Military. If necessary, anyone deemed enough of a threat can either be droned, or black-bagged by Seal Team 6.

GhettoMaestro··on Open letter concerning Facebook's proposals to apply end-to-end encryption
Open Letter to UK Gov: Suck my balls, thanks.

I’m not a huge Assange fan, but his conditions there were NOT luxurious.
GhettoMaestro··on JSON on the Command Line with Jq
This is useful! Thank you for sharing!!!!
GhettoMaestro··on JSON on the Command Line with Jq
Exactly right.

I use jq to mangle get/list requests from AWS (and others) and then recursively hit each element for whatever reason. Without jq none of my workflows in this area would be remotely easy.

TLDR: Learn JQ! It is like sed and grep, but for JSON.

GhettoMaestro··on UFO: Pilot who spotted famous Tic Tac breaks silence after 15 years
Ah there it is, the ol' modified limited hangout[1].
