Additionally, two feels like a really strange number. I would think three for a tiebreaker would be standard for any sensor with that much impact (no pun intended).

For what it’s worth, dual stack with IPv6 + DNS64/NAT64 would be a great solution here, as well. SLAAC and a /64 would make it pretty unlikely for this kind of failure mode to occur.

Purely a data point, and not meant to be persuasive, but I bought a heat pump dryer this year, largely because of the ventless operation. Dryer lint fires are frightening.

Heat pumps could save money in new construction by reducing the amount of copper, too. Builders will be all over that if it becomes acceptable.

I think we’ll find that there are other benefits that come with new technology beyond the direct electricity consumption.

Worst cases, though, if all the electricity is produced in clean methods, how much does it matter that we’re not using it as efficiently as we could be?

Discoverability is a problem. The average hobbyist website has no chance of making it to the top of the pile of search-engine-optimized trash websites that are returned by search engines. For example: Quora often takes up half of my results these days.

…and if the hobbyists know that their sites aren’t going to get any visitors, there’s little reason to make them in the first place.

The conversation is absolutely more nuanced than most of these articles/blurbs usually mention. Beyond the well-defined hard costs, does it benefit the company more to save money on a cloud footprint, but put that same money into management efforts required to handle manual maintanance of bare metal servers?

Can you afford to spend the time to handle fault tolerance and high availability at the infrastructure level, or will that just fall to the wayside once your migration effort passes its original deadline and the business wants to shift to other items? How will you handle auditing without Cloudtrail, or its counterparts? Will you be able to automate OS provisioning, or will you be stuck with adding more staff and increasing lead times?

Let's say you can give a positive answer to all of these. Now, does it benefit the business more to have your team handle all that's required to maintain your own physical infrastructure, or would that time/effort be better spent on things that differentiate the business from its competitors?

We should also remember that Basecamp has built their entire business around this application. They've had time to perfect it and customize it to their exact needs. This is very different from replatforming commercial or open source software that isn't developed in-house. I think there's good reason that most of the time an article of this nature comes out, it's often a SaaS-type offering that's the target of repatriation.

The fact that you had to explain how it works indicates that a bit more consistency might be beneficial.

I can’t speak to the second point, but I’d look for OOM events in dmesg for the crashes.

I really wish this attribute was never added. The idea that a site owner should have that much control over my browser’s behavior is completely contrary to the concept of what a User Agent is intended to be.

I’ve never seen a legitimate use case for disabling autocomplete, but have been prevented from using my password manager on many occasions, resulting in me having to either modify the source code via developer tools, type a very long password, or copy and paste it. Both of the last two cases increase the attack surface for passwords via key logging or clipboard snooping.

The one case that has come close to being legitimate is shared computers, but that should be handled by security controls on the endpoint.

Not the parent, but ClickSpring is one of my favorites, though they don’t post much anymore. Also, ThisOldTony. BenEater, TechnologyConnections, Jeff Geerling, GreatScott!, Wintergatan, bigclivedotcom, JK Brickworks, The 8-Bit Guy, and Usagi Electric are more on the tech side of my subscriptions.

It would be great if there was an easier way to share subscriptions.

I’d love to get some recommendations as well

Tell me about it. I used to climb rock faces. Now stairs make me pale with fear of injury. It would be great to know what _else_I could do to stay healthy. I do about 4.5-6 miles a day walking my dog. Hopefully that’s enough.

I’ll definitely give that a try

Perhaps we need to spend some time working on the mental health of those who bully others. At the moment, we seem to, mostly, turn a blind eye to it, or use “zero tolerance” policies (which, IMO, are even more harmful to the victims than the bullying) to act like we’ve solved the problem.

I don’t pretend to have the answer, but admitting that there’s a problem in the first place is a good step forward.

An interesting take given your choice of username. CS challenges aside, who gets to draw the line?

Assuming a “proper” solution exists. There are many world views that conflict with each other, and quite a few of those have the belief that they must “save” the people who have not reached their own “enlightened” viewpoint.

We must have different definitions of the word “clearly”. I’ll take that full model in a heartbeat, but I suspect many others would disagree.

At least for the time being, I’ll put my trust in Crayola for that, rather than OpenAI. Alternatively, if we really must have children interacting with image generation, it seems like a great opportunity for parents to have some bonding time with their kids.

Unfortunately, when the CIO screams about deadlines and people want to keep their jobs, most of that goes out the window.

Or we could treat people like human beings and get rid of this idea that only children are harmed by social media and the constant bombardment of advertisers and “influencers”.

That would remove a huge amount of flexibility from the commit process, though. git add -p (and its siblings) are a huge part of my workflow. I often work on multiple changes at once, but break them out into their own atomic commits with the ‘-p’ flag.

What would be great is a simple way to have build/lint/etc. tools look at the staging area instead of the workspace.

I’d be interested to hear more about your workflow I’ve thought about doing similar things, but it just seems like too much overhead.

> …interoperability isn’t the issue.

I may be missing something, but every example I saw is about interoperability. It’s just that most of the failures are artificially created by the device manufacturers.

We don’t need more regulation. We need people to be informed that they have options which aren’t dependent on proprietary software and services run by scumbag companies.

I have a few major use cases: * I don’t need to get out of bed to turn off the lights to go to sleep * A notification when my laundry is finished washing so that I don’t forget to switch it to the dryer *Being able to control my fans from my smart watch

Everything else has pretty much grown from there as I find ways to make life easier for myself. Most of it revolves around being able to control my environment without stopping what I’m doing.

One other nice to have is my lights color temperature being synced to the sun, helping with circadian rhythms, but that’s icing on the cake.

I donated regularly until I learned the darker side of their behavior. If they’d be more transparent, I might start donating again. Is it so awful to ask for organizations to act better to receive voluntary support?

Many jobs require a “doctor’s note” for absences.

If you’re watching content that you don’t have lawful access to (i.e.: the licensing for those streams very likely doesn’t include you), it’s absolutely piracy. It’s just really easy and unenforceable piracy.

That doesn’t mean it’s ethically wrong, but that’s another question entirely.

Even better, that manager could be used to log you in cryptographically, so you’re secret never leaves the device for authentication purposes.

https://bitwarden.com/passwordless-passkeys/

That’s a great reason not to use those services.

Except that that thing you memorized gets transferred across the wire as part of the authentication process, leading to all sorts of places where it could be intercepted. Passkeys don’t leave the device, outside of backups and synchronization. Thats a way lower attack surface.

What about the users who _aren’t_ technically able? That’s where this technology is most important at the moment.

That aside, what happens if you lose your current password? Every major platform out there has a method for recovery. Why can’t that be used for passkeys as well? I don’t see how there’s any incentive for companies to lock us out of accounts, when the platform is pointless without people consuming it.

We may have very little power, as users, but if enough people have trouble getting into their own accounts, that’s going to directly impact the bottom line of the company locking them out. From a purely capitalist standpoint, that’s a really good reason to make sure that that doesn’t happen.

Lastly, at least Bitwarden is planning on having passkey support in their password manager very soon, so there’s real competition that will allow users to be in full control of their own passkeys.
