OpenWrt, make a wifi network only for those nasty spying devices, printers, tvs etc
ta988··on Direct File won't happen in 2026, IRS tells states
If your accountant doesn't give you the forms AND worksheets, change accountant.
ta988··on How I use every Claude Code feature
Claude Code is much more efficient even compared to Cursor using the Anthropic models. The planning and tool use is much better.
ta988··on AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1
Happened to lots of commercial routers too (free wifi with sign-in pages in stores for example) and that's way outside us-east-1
ta988··on MicroPythonOS – An Android-like OS for microcontrollers
Depends... do you need wifi, screen and others always on? can you wake some on a timer? on user interaction? on interrupts?

You can use those sleep modes in micropython as well

ta988··on Ryanair flight landed at Manchester airport with six minutes of fuel left
Thanks, I would buy your book. But I understand the effort necessary all too well.
ta988··on The Asus gaming laptop ACPI firmware bug
Congratulations ASUS for 0.01% of your marketing budget you could have fixed the experience of your millions of users, reduced the amount of replaced computers, improved your brand positive views... This once again proves that many companies are absolutely mismanaged and think marketing will make them more efficient than good engineering...
ta988··on The buyer-pull and seller-push theories of sales
The datadog sales team would do that kind of things to us, which basically led to us banning them from even consideration.
ta988··on Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, the end
Apple is too much about beeing closed and creating barriers not sure that would have been a good fit. Plus that's a good way to flee a country quickly degrading.
ta988··on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?
And a lot of US sites don't work in France either, or they ban you after just a couple requests with no appeal...
ta988··on Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians
I would really much want to see which Marx (with Engels or not) writings advocate for mass surveillance. I would also like to see a reference of when did he call for a bourgeoisie massacre.
ta988··on Beetroot juice lowers blood pressure by changing oral microbiome: study
fluoride with no kind of antibacterial is fine (careful with thymol etc). Check your toothpaste for anti bacterial as well. you want to remove food and plaque, not good bacteria.
ta988··on The natural diamond industry is getting rocked. Thank the lab-grown variety
The blood detector.
ta988··on lsr: ls with io_uring
70% faster, but more importantly 35x times less syscalls.
ta988··on Radium Music Editor
Bitwig does and it works really well. pretty much a replacement for live.
ta988··on First-Class Models: The Missing Productivity Revolution
Do you mind explaining a bit more with a concrete example your first paragraph?
ta988··on I deleted my second brain
It is a question of failure mode. If your hard drive motor dies, if the heads fail, if the electronics fail, if the sealing fail (in some cases it can be repaired by specialists but that's not easy and much more expensive than a tape reader)... lots of things can go wrong that are not related with the media itself. The advantage of tape is that the device that reads it is separate from the mechanically simple tape. It comes at a cost but that's for hedging against a different risk.
ta988··on Puerto Rico's Solar Microgrids Beat Blackout
This doesn't solve the issue of either storage or continous (and controllable) supply.
ta988··on Gemini Robotics On-Device brings AI to local robotic devices
Search for CNC videos, those machines work in oily, soapy, dusty and full of metal shavings environments and do fine.
ta988··on Gemini Robotics On-Device brings AI to local robotic devices
But this still has a massive cost. Replacing or repairing an actuator isn't cheap, in material and in time of unavailability.
ta988··on ASUSpicious Flaw – Users' Information Exposed Since 2022
No bug bounty? Major hardware company? Disaster in 3 .... 2.... 1...
ta988··on Guess I'm a rationalist now
but it will also contain infinite love.
ta988··on Now might be the best time to learn software development
It is called Kagi
ta988··on Knowledge Management in the Age of AI
Yeah PARA is the new hype in knowledge management, those come and go (Zettelkasten, atomic notes...) I don't find PARA particularly useful. Using links and tags with no directories at all work much better for me. But I think that's the nice thing (and also the curse) of all of those you can spend your time biie shedding with the different versions of yourself in time instead of using it for your life.
ta988··on Series C and scale
Have you used copilot recently? It is absolutely useless these days.
ta988··on Comparing Claude System Prompts Reveal Anthropic's Priorities
Exactly my point but that person seemed to have insider info or a source we all missed.
ta988··on Comparing Claude System Prompts Reveal Anthropic's Priorities
Source
ta988··on Comparing Claude System Prompts Reveal Anthropic's Priorities
Use them with the API, they are supposed to not have any there.
ta988··on Crypto Investor Charged with Kidnapping and Torturing Man for Weeks
yes and? you get the data of only one tarsnap user.

The comment you were responding to was from the tarsnap creator where he was saying he doesn't have access to those keys so cannot be coerced to give them (and thus has no way to decrypt the data of all the clients).

the person who uploaded it only (or whomever they shared keys with)
