lathiat··on The Future of Thunderbird
I was using thunderbird with the same very large accounts on Linux and windows.

For some reason on Linux it was fine in Windows it was literally unusable. Particularly when composing a message of all things.

There’s definitely some quirks somewhere.

lathiat··on I bought a CO2 monitor and it broke me
Search “energy recovery ventilation” (ERV) or Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV)

Great introduction here: https://renew.org.au/renew-magazine/efficient-homes/mechanic...

lathiat··on An investigation into Apple’s new Relay network
Encrypted safari traffic is an exception. But encrypted app traffic does not.

They made it a few years ago they all apps had to use encryption. Long before private relay came out. I have wondered if this was why.

lathiat··on LastPass breach gets worse

lathiat··on Seven years on, what do we know about the disappearance of flight MH370? (2021)
An iconic Mythbusters episode also :) They made an air cannon to fire frozen chickens into a plane.
lathiat··on macOS CLI tool to configure multi-display resolutions and arrangements
It is typically because you have more than one of the same monitor with identical EDID information.

Documented and explained here: https://spin.atomicobject.com/2018/08/24/macbook-pro-externa...

Possible fix: https://gist.github.com/ejdyksen/8302862?permalink_comment_i...

lathiat··on Ask HN: Anyone doing some absurd stuff after getting laid off?
Sounds like Rails in 2008. Long live server side rendering.

You can tell I haven’t done a lot of web dev since 2014 or so. :)

lathiat··on Ask HN: Best Layman's Book on Electricity
Not sure it will go deep enough for what you’re asking here but the “Practical Engineering” YouTube channel (which has some great videos about random bits of civil infrastructure) recently released a book “Engineering in Plain Sight”

https://practical.engineering/book

lathiat··on Screenshots as the Universal API
Probably because it’s also tied in with DRM video decoding / HDCP where the prevailing opinion of those bodies is that it very much isn’t your device.
lathiat··on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS servers and phased apt updates
or cloud-init

boot the clean base image and configure it on boot with packages, ssh keys, custom commands, etc.

lathiat··on Death of Korea's 'apartment king' leaves 100s in property purgatory
Aged care in Australia apparently works somewhat like this. You can pay in a lump sum that your estate later gets back. They invest or use it as capital for building more aged care etc.

Many well their home to finance it.

I’m sure the details are a little different but the idea seems similar.

lathiat··on Apple announces full Swift rewrite of the Foundation framework (2022)
“Rust grew out of a personal project begun in 2006 by Mozilla Research employee Graydon Hoare. Mozilla began sponsoring the project in 2009 as a part of the ongoing development of an experimental browser engine called Servo. The project was officially announced by Mozilla in 2010.”

Sitting hairs really.

lathiat··on Building an Internet Scale Meme Search Engine
I would expect an M1 native Mac app to work similarly well. Though the iPhone solution may win on price.

The framework is supported on macOS (even tvOS apparently) https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vision

lathiat··on Average EV fast-charging costs soar above petrol
$0.21 USD/kWh here in Australia.
lathiat··on The AMD Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 5 5 7600 Review: Zen 4 at 65 Watts
Linus Tech Tips published the actual power consumption for both X and non-X in their video here: https://youtu.be/CTiRNnSg0jA
lathiat··on CDC File Transfer
They addressed that specifically in the README. They tested on Linux and it was worse but had a worse CPU so assumed it was comparable.
lathiat··on Lnav – An advanced log file viewer for the small-scale
Does anyone have a trick for connecting to remote hosts as a non-root user but having it elevate to root to read the logs?
lathiat··on My Youtube earnings
Yes its a small part of the pie. In their 2020 review it was about 20% of their revenue. Their lttstore.com creator warehouse stuff has gone crazy since then - they were talking about having 5-10m tied up just in inventory waiting to sell. So, yes.
lathiat··on My Youtube earnings
That used to be the case but it changed at some point I think about 2 years ago - couldn't find a quick reference to exactly when it changed but I remember seeing quite a few channels start publishing their earnings once it changed.

This quora post quotes the terms: https://www.quora.com/Am-I-allowed-to-show-my-earnings-to-my...

"HOWEVER, YOU MAY ACCURATELY DISCLOSE THE AMOUNT OF GOOGLE’S GROSS PAYMENTS TO YOU PURSUANT TO THE PROGRAM"

Linus Tech Tips has published their earnings for the past couple of years. One detailed video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zt57TWkTF4

Linus also posted his adsense of ~$4.6million for the last 9 months a couple of days ago: https://twitter.com/linusgsebastian/status/16094682622194032...

lathiat··on Show HN: BingeTheTube: binge YouTube channels from oldest to latest
YouTube recently removed the ability to sort video on a channel from oldest to newest. It used to be in the app. I wish I understood why.

It’s common to want to go back through a channels catalogue there must be some stupid reason like wanting to discourage viewing old unpopular videos that are cold cached or something? I don’t know. If anyone has any ideas…

lathiat··on No more airplane mode? EU to allow calls on flights
I can see this leading to AeroMobile cleaning up. They have microcells on many international flights that charge you crazy roaming rates particularly for data. Your phone connects and uses it automatically. Right now mostly only intentionally as people are fairly used to actually turning airplane mode on.

My carrier Telstra charges $3/MB still now for AeroMobile. Madness. I wonder if anyone has a non stupid rate with them? It’s also 75c/SMS and $5/minute for calls.

lathiat··on Twitter's status page shows “no incidents reported” for Dec. 28 global outage
That’s just the number that indicated a complaint on “down detector”. It was vastly more than that.
lathiat··on Why did the flywheel hybrid system never catch on for road cars? (2021)
Relevant video from Veritasium today on kinetic energy: https://youtu.be/J_n1FZaKzF8

Also this is a problem enough at <10,000 RPM with just normal metal flywheels and clutches that many drag racing and Motorsport rules require extra “scatter shields” to protect both drivers and spectators from them exploding or exiting from the normal bell housing.

lathiat··on The golden age of streaming TV is over
I assume this is partly why it used to be that new movies went to rental first for a couple months before public sale. Because they’d charge the rental places a much higher cost per unit and they couldn’t just get them from the store.
lathiat··on The Twitter Files, Part Six
OK but at the same time Elon is proposing “freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach”. Which is basically the same thing, no?
lathiat··on Twitter blocks links to the ElonJet Instagram account
It is pretty common for private planes to be removed from Flight Radar and other websites - the FAA allows owners to request this and publishes a list for companies to consume.. it was likely gone from there for a long time. But the data is still broadcast as the plane flies and some sources don't filter them out such as ADSB Exchange (https://globe.adsbexchange.com/)

lathiat··on Reddit's photo albums broke due to Integer overflow of Signed Int32
Someone previously created a tweet linking to itself by predicting the likely ID range: https://oisinmoran.com/quinetweet
lathiat··on EFF about EU: EIDAS 2.0 Sets a Dangerous Precedent for Web Security
While these kinds of attacks are certainly possible, Let's Encrypt is not blind to them and has mitigations specifically for BGP hijacking for example: https://letsencrypt.org/2020/02/19/multi-perspective-validat...
lathiat··on VHS-Decode – Software defined VHS decoder
I wonder if this could be used to better decode tapes with some degradation and artefacting.
lathiat··on Gridfinity: Unofficial Wiki
For an introduction to the project see this video from the original creator Zach Freedman: https://youtu.be/ra_9zU-mnl8

(Short version its an open and free expandable 3D printable modular storage system with modules to fit everything from screws to soldering irons and SD cards)
