specto··on Let’s bring back the Sabbath as an act against ‘total work’
Sounds very adventist ;)
specto··on It's time to head back to RSS?
Frustratingly, feeds are gone for such things as reviews on amazon, instagram accounts, youtube, and other sites. It's dying because people don't use it anymore.
specto··on Ask HN: What has HN given you?
Gave me the confidence to apply to a tech company and I got accepted, making a much better living now.
specto··on Google Pixel 2 and 2 XL announced
Same, it was a huge mistake...
specto··on 24/192 Music Downloads Are Very Silly Indeed (2012)
Yeah seriously, that's really cool.... and on that note what headphones does he actually use?!
specto··on Google Fires Employee Behind Controversial Diversity Memo
I am somewhat surprised that others are upset he was fired. Free speech doesn't always apply within a company context and speaking politically on either side is a bad idea. Not to mention, while he may have some points, he's approaching a people problem as a statistics problems. With deep rooted issues like this (that have lasted for 100s of years) you can't just pull out data that won't apply going forward if we actually try to make things better...
specto··on ZFS Is the Best Filesystem For Now
We can all hope...
specto··on How MTA shut down my app for Penn Station commuters
I mean, everyone I know that takes the LIRR lines up where I do and knows where the train (usually) stops. When it's a short train is when we panic...
specto··on Advanced CIA firmware has been infecting Wi-Fi routers for years
I really like routeros from mikrotik, but it was part of the leaks as being hacked... so ymmv
specto··on Toshiba Pares Losses on Report of Apple Investing in Chips
Ryzen is directly affected by memory speed due to the fabric ticking at the mem frequency
specto··on No Surprises (2009)
I guess this is a quip against Mozilla adding the 3rd party functionality?
specto··on A few more details on Reddits recent troubles from ex CEO Yishan
I never understood why everyone jumped on the Pao hate train... She never seemed like she was in the wrong.
specto··on Goodbye, Sourceforge
I assumed it wasn't, but I hoped
specto··on Venom – A security vulnerability in virtual floppy drive code
Venom... really... ugh
specto··on SendGrid employee’s account was compromised and used to access internal systems
Because that's what the government and DoD calls it?
specto··on DIY FPGA-based HDMI ambient lighting
How did you get yours?
specto··on Linux Performance Analysis: New Tools and Old Secrets
I've really been enjoying the use of sysdig for performance and other analysis. It makes it quite easy to find what you need quickly. I do prefer built in tools though, so I'll have to look at this.
specto··on VirtKick – Take Cloud Back
It looks interesting, but since there is no functional prototype besides static files and novnc, I'm not sure if it's worth any financial risk.
specto··on Chattanooga offers residents lightning-quick connections, to telecoms' dismay
My sister has this and doesn't upgrade to the 1000 service because she doesn't need it, even though it's $12 more than 100. I'm sitting here lucky if I get 11 down .5 up
specto··on DNS.watch – Fast, free and uncensored
Seems really slow now, guessing it's overwhelmed.
specto··on Show HN: Where Adblock+ injects 20K CSS rules, HTTPSB injects one
I like it, though every once in a while something will be blocked in the middle of the screen and I can't dismiss the red blocked area to get to the actual content.
specto··on CloudFlare's Heartbleed challenge cracked
Considering he just pulled a shadow file as well, it's not pretty.
specto··on Xbox One Will Be Able To Upload Game Recordings To YouTube
Facebook for recorded video, it would be wise of them to allow youtube as well.
specto··on OpenSSL Security Advisory: TLS heartbeat read overrun
Make sure you check running daemons too... apt-get install debian-goodies; checkrestart
specto··on FreeBSD 10.0 is here
I wouldn't say soon. Btrfs needs much more robust userspace tools. At the moment, the tools tell you nothing, and recovery is basically impossible. I have lost data several times now. While I had backups since I was using btrfs, I didn't expect to lose data the way that I did. The drive filled up with metadata, and since it didn't have anywhere to rebalance the metadata it couldn't move it, and even if I deleted files it wouldn't make a difference. It happened to me on two occasions. The interesting thing is that btrfs filesystem df showed I only had 80gb total, with a 120gb drive. Decided to go back to xfs for that drive, and I use zfs for my raidz2 array.
specto··on ThingCharger: A new charger for all your things
I would be concerned about breaking off a connector if the device fell off.
specto··on Our biggest gripes with OS X Mavericks
Access speeds to my SAMBA server are so bad since Mavericks I had to switch to NFS. Even with the workaround to disable Apple's version of sambaV3, I still have issues.
specto··on CyanogenMod Installer Release
So because someone wants to make a living on something they love they're untrustworthy? I agree I would rather have open source applications running on my phone, however I also feel it is a good thing they are monetizing their efforts. I prefer a more stock version of android, but any additions to the android ecosystem strengthens its ability.
