Historically, xx.us (where xx is a two letter state code) domains have been owned* by the named US state, which then would issue subdomains on top. I believe this was originally planned and set up by ICANN themselves. *: I realize that “own

In fact I’ve used a 100 foot fiber optic DisplayPort cable that I “just bought” on Amazon, admittedly for a LOT of money (like, I think it was about $100 USD, 3 years ago or so).

Whoa, this sent me back. I cut my teeth on Red Hat Linux 5.2 (pre-RHEL), and I remember when they first added Bluecurve… oh jeez, this means im old, doesn’t it?

I think the parent comment means that Ladybird is fighting to be an additional browser engine in the current ecosystem of “Chromium and a couple of tiny, unimportant competitors.” However, on the subject of the other meaning of “diversity,”

Netgate are _terrible_ at open source, though — they’re shit at accepting contributions, they’re shit at providing attribution, and they’re shit at providing any support whatsoever to anyone who prefers other hardware (even with their paid

> vendors like Ubiquiti who base their work on OpenWRT anyway I thought Ubiquity’s firmwares were all based on Debian. Is this no longer the case?

This is kind of neat. I appreciate how well it falls into the whole Unix philosophy of small tools that do one thing really well. One thing I’m kind of curious about from a UI standpoint is why the exponential argument isn’t a double-hyphen

These days all of my “Debian” bare metal systems are technically running Proxmox, which I think is a relatively happy medium as far as the base Debian system goes — the Proxmox kernel is basically the Ubuntu kernel, but otherwise it’s a pre

While I agree that we should have legal codes protecting our online and digital rights, I’m convinced that there are enough Bad People on the Internet that we do indeed still need strong technical protections as well.

You can get used Griffin iMates on eBay from time to time, but you'll want to solder in a new coin cell battery.

The standard is, well, a standard, and that’s why PoE is safe in the first place. Adding per-port fuses won’t stop bad cable from burning, because the fuse would have to be sized for the rating of the PoE switch. This is why you don’t want

I’ll definitely check it out if it’s ever published as open source software! Source available isn’t my cup of tea (especially for programming languages), and I’m not exactly a big fan of Gumroad either…

I haven’t seen the ads, but Oracle Cloud is definitely the public cloud provider with the most generous free tier. That’s not to say you should use and trust them, but I can see why many would.

It’s funny to me that this post calls out Podman-Compose as “not actively maintained” with its last commit being 5 months ago, then turns around to recommend Podlet (whose last commit was…5 months ago) as an alternative. Podlet can be usefu

That’s whataboutism — Apple slowly has been precluding all of those from getting the latest updates officially (I think the iMac Pro is the last supported Mac without a T2 chip), and they’re ostensibly supposed to go into the landfill too,
