How does cleaning of the heat exchanger work? From my experience with Jaccuzzi-style baths anything that recirculates bathwater gets very nasty very quick and is a nightmare to clean.

The copy of The Garbage Collection Handbook at ~/Documents/Books_on_vm/ is the 2023 second edition, and it covers G1, ZGC, and Shenandoah by name with dedicated sections. What follows is read directly from that PDF (pa

The few pages I've looked at seem to be mostly (if not completely) AI hallucinated, with semi relevant photos from WikiMedia linked. Despite the name there is no way to edit the articles or even log in. Also the "BOMs" are pr

Update: Checking the kernel config indeed confirms this. adb shell zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API # CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH is not set # CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER is not set # CONFIG_CRY

I rewrote it quickly to C [1] (and changed the embedded binary to be aarch64). Unfortunately it fails on calling bind() on my device, so probalby Android doesn't ship with that kenrel module by default :(. So no freedom for my $40 phon

A bit tangential, but in Poland we also had such traffic cameras with public access (it wasn't a live feed, but a snapshot updated every minute or so). It was provided by a company which won a lot of tenders for IT infrastructure aroun

Wouldn't a switch with ONIE [1] and Sonic NOS support [2] do the trick? (I don't know the prices of such switches or whether they are available to prosumers, which would explain why almost nobody has them in a homelab) [1] https:

I don't know how much you have used Telegram, but it's ridden with absolutely vile stuff. You open the "Telegram nearby" feature anywhere and it's full of people selling drugs and scams. When I mistyped something i

Not OP, but have to use the cloud version of Jira and Confluence. My biggest complaint is that they put the "Yes! Send me news and offers from Atlassian about products, events, and more." checkbox in the place where I would expect

Some gun calibers are measured with inches, so maybe they have some imperial markers on hand to measure bullet casings?

Probably one time use recovery codes you are supposed to print and keep in a safe place. In case of a bank this could also mean a trip to the nearest branch for ID verification. The same issue you mentioned applies to other 2FA methods. You

I know everybody says how bad SMS 2FA is, and how we should replace it with the next cool thing $BIGCORP invented (thus requiring you to have an account with them, which only defers the problem). But couldn't we pressure the telecoms t

Is that true? Large companies producing software usually have bespoke infra, which barely anyone monitors. See: the Solarwinds hack. Similarly to the xz compromise they added the a Trojan to the binary artifacts by hijacking the build infra

I'm not sure where you live (probably the US), but here in Europe you can easily get GPON ONTs from different manufacturers. There even are whole communities dedicated to replacing your ISP's ONT+modem combo: https://ha

For me as a person who learned programming in the times of Github/lab/whatever, the idea of sending patches via email is fucking ridiculous. The typical interface for handling merge/pull requests adds so many useful things ov

Does it work for touchscreens too? When I plug in a portable monitor with a touchscreen into my macOS laptop the touch input gets sent into the screen where the cursor is (ie. I touch the touchscreen but it clicks something on the internal

I wonder how bulletproof Apple's macOS license is. Perhaps one could find a country where the "you can't run it on non-Apple hardware" clause is not valid, and get some good lawyers. Then just run a standard data center

I still have a drawer full of phone holders and bluetooth receivers that I used in my previous car with a "dumb" radio. All of the holders were annoyingly rattling when driving over potholes and finicky to insert or remove the pho

I used to live in an old apartment block with thick concrete walls, and away from a cellular base station. VoWifi was really helpful if I wanted to make calls from my home. I guess I could use WhatsApp/Facetime/Signal, but the ins

Huh, their diagnostic software is a Puppy Linux ISO that you are supposed to run in VMWare. That's one way of software distribution :O https://github.com/teslamotors/roadster/blob/main/Diagnostic...

If you take some basic precautions - disable interrupting the boot process, serial console, etc. then bypassing that requires significant effort. As an attacker you need to know the versions of the software working on the server, know some

Convenience, faster boot. Or if you have a headless server with disk encryption, but you want it to come back online without intervention after a reboot or power failure. It's all trade-offs.

Yup, also the userspace application that does the actual streaming is closed-source as well: https://github.com/OpenIPC/majestic (The git repo is for bug reports only, no source-code there)

Why is the proposed solution HomeKit? It requires an Apple device to control it and an iCloud Account. Are account requirements from some companies better than other?

I've tried a few Amazon Basics ones, and on all of them power switching per-port worked. Uhubctl's compatibility list. seems to confirm my experience. The only problem is that the 7 port ones are in fact two 4-port hubs in a trenc

I'm kind of torn on this. The general idea that the user's browser tracks him by itself instead of utilizing cookies or fingerprinting seems like a step up for privacy. Obviously the devil is in the details - Google controls that

Out of curiosity: What sensitive things does the root account protect on your workstation? On my desktop (and probably 99% of people's desktops here) getting access to the user account is game over. The password manager? Runs as my use

There even is a "remote version" of this by the same person: https://github.com/liriliri/chii By using it you can open the devtools on another computer and all the information is synchronized over WebSockets.
