"I hate my USB-C monitor ports that work is making me use. Sometimes when I plug the USB-Dock in, it works fine. Other times I get one of the two 1920×1080 monitors attached to turn on. Others, no monitors turn on, and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. Then it usually works."

It's SUPER finicky and picky, pretty much across the board. I find this true for the PC/Windows- macbook pros seems to work MUCH better, even with triple-2k monitors, but still not perfectly every time.

"Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!"

My old greybeard eyes completely missed the red text, centered right under the top banner.

Then, later that year OpenSSH had a critical, remotely exploitable vulnerability that allowed an attacker to gain remote root access. They changed the banner to: "One remote hole in the default install, in nearly 6 years!"

It stayed that way almost 5 more years when in 2007 a flaw in IPv6 was discovered that resulted in a kernel-level buffer overflow, and the banner was updated to: "Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!"

At some point, that slogan was removed, probably because of the fierce criticism and debate it sparked. Even still, OpenBSD pretty much designed the idea of "secure by default" and still to this day, probably lead all modern software OS in this ideology.

I can't think of any other major software distribution where I can count exploits on a single hand after many, many years.

Having first-hand experience, I can confirm that my heart rate was WAY up, and my pulse-ox was WAY down when the virus was at its worst. I used the pulse ox value to make sure I was getting in good breaths (and yes, I know there is a hefty margin of error on these consumer devices.) I use a Garmin, but the sensors are pretty much the same on Apple Watch.

It would be pretty easy for the device to tell I was sick but probably impossible to tell I had COVID-19 instead of the Flu or a bad infection or maybe pneumonia.

I see e-mail as another Internet service that is slowly centralizing, and if you operate outside of the big tech companies- for example, if you don't use Google/Yahoo/M365 e-mail, you're probably going to be in for a headache, even if you run perfect e-mail infrastructure.

Their current logo, which smiles from A to Z (buy everything from A to Z!) hasn't always been the logo- as they started out just selling books with a vastly different image.

Here's an interesting journey through the logos: https://www.freelogodesign.org/blog/2018/09/10/the-amazon-lo...

"On the other hand, transmission of novel coronavirus to persons from surfaces contaminated with the virus has not been documented."

"Whatever you do, please don’t buy a VacuVin or anything resembling such a device that allows you to “pump out the air from the bottle.” These devices just don’t work as advertised. Sure, they remove some air, but not enough to truly protect the wine."

So I guess we'll just finish the bottle!

So I guess at some point, Dreamhost as a registrar silently deleted them. Now, even if Parler wanted to move somewhere, they would have to regain control of their domain from Dreamhost.

Sending big hugs to their ops team.

Jay Leno owns a replica of the Back to the Future DeLorean valued at $750,000.

I think anyone would agree the DeLorean is way sexier than the Trans Am, but I would argue its place among pop culture is pretty high, probably higher than the auction asking price.

1) Most (all?) humans on planet Earth are going to produce antibodies to COVID-19, or die. It's highly contagious and getting worse with new variants. 2) Given this, we have a choice: get the antibodies the easy way (take the vaccine), or get the antibodies the hard way (catch the virus).

For some people, the virus is no big deal. For me, it meant suffering for 2 weeks, and to others it is way worse, getting sent to the hospital, and some (a tiny percentage) not surviving it at all.

Given the risk of a new vaccine vs the risk of getting COVID and suffering, I would take the new vaccine 100 out of 100 times. I tell people that had I known how bad catching the virus was, I would have taken BOTH vaccines at the same time to avoid having to go through that. (Also, I'm under 40 and very healthy/athletic.)

I'm also highly averse to "optional vaccines" in the first place, and only give my children the absolute required vaccines to keep society and themselves safe.

Just my perspective on this, but I come across so many people who do not see things the same. In the end, a lot of people are going to suffer with the virus due to applying their fears to the wrong thing.
