If you look at the petapixel article, they complain about the speed (10mb/sec not 100) and have serious doubts about the reliability. Using this for backup or for security cameras sounds like a bad idea. It could still be good for some things like carrying your movie library on your phone, while still having a stable copy at home.
I’ve worked in security for decades and nobody has ever asked me about certifications. I know a guy with CISSP and he said it has been useful sometimes, but basically I wouldn’t worry too much. Getting more involved with the security stuff where you work will give real experience which is likely more valuable.
This seems to be different and is geared towards directly looking after other humans. Hactivism as I’m used to the term, can often be technocratic.
scrutinize the protocol beforehand.
Sorry but that buys into the data miners’ self serving myths. It implies the protocol is ok unless some failure makes it leak more information than was intended. In fact it’s invasive even if it works exactly as hoped. “Tracking” is a misnomer too. It’s hostile surveillance even if it’s at population level. (Any nonconsensual surveillance that produces info to be used by people you don’t like is hostile by definition. And it’s near guaranteed that some of the buyers-advertisers, political campaigns and funders, govt agencies, whatever-will be people you don’t like). So shut it down.
Simplest is use /etc/hosts to set up names, if there are just a few.
It’s nice as a dimmable bedside night light. I also used the Anduril flickery candle mode at a birthday event recently.
Did you just discover this? It’s a Microsoft site after all.
You mean the blog link? That’s an awful lot of articles. Is there a single sentence somewhere saying what it is?
What is the project anyway? It’s not obvious at all.
They want to obsolete all our phones again? No thanks.
As I understand it, the interest income is tax deferred while it is still in the IRA. So over a long period it can appreciate a lot more than if taxes were being taken out every year.
About a year ago I found Osmand near unusable. Maybe I should try it again. I currently use Organic Maps and it’s pretty good, though it’s missing a few basic features that are probably on a todo list. Also, some of its data is wrong. I expect Osmand uses the same wrong data. Unfortunately last time I hit an error, I had no internet, but will try again next time I’m there.
How well do you think the federation model is working, in terms of cultural dynamics, more defederations than I would have expected to see, etc.? I’m not counting technical glitches that I assume will get sorted out over time.
You might like the Sofirn SP36 which was on sale last month. It looks like the sale ended and it’s a few bucks more now, but still pretty good:
If you want something insane, you could try web search for Ultimate Stealth Light on CPF. It is a Maglight 3D body modified to house a hand built NiMH pack and a 100 watt slide projector bulb. It’s “stealth” because it’s designed to look like an ordinary Maglight until you turn it on.
Visible light emitted is around 3K lumens but since it is incandescent, there is also a tremendous amount of infrared emitted, so there are photos on CPF of people literally frying eggs on the lens. Turning it on produces a much greater sensation of brightness than a LED light with the same lumens would produce. I’d probably be willing to part with mine, but would have to check that the battery pack hasn’t crapped out, as I haven’t used it in years.
Thanks. IIRC the Zebralight H50 is a cm or so shorter than any of those. I’ll try to post a pic sometime. How do you like the Manker E02? I got one recently and find I wish it were smaller and that the UI was either greatly simplified, or replaced by Anduril.
I only see a runtime graph, with no flashlight pictures. Did I miss something?
Aha, thanks, not sure how I managed to miss it before. Hmm.
Site is https://steamdb.info/ (database of steam games) if you were wondering.
I used proxmox and have played a little with nix and guix, but simplest is just use debian, put /home on a separate logical partition from the system partition so you can reinstall the system without clobbering user files, and as people keep saying, backup early and often.
