Blackhole is the name of one of the services used in display-time malicious content filtering. I’m guessing the urls in that db were either generating a ton of backend load, so they were pushed to devices, or perhaps are customized on a per

I'm in the "Pro-Rust" camp (not fanboy level "everything must be rewritten in rust", but "the world would be a better place if more stuff used Rust"), and I love this post. They saw some benefits to Rust,

The "Memory Safety" of Rust is not that memory leaks are not possible, rather its how memory is accessed. Specifically, using "safe" Rust, it should be impossible to: 1. Access memory that hasn't been explicitly all

+1 to this. I run Ubuntu 22.04 with microk8s. Keep all my yaml files in a local git repo, figured out how to hook up my NAS to provide storage via nfs. It's definitely gone down a few times, but I've learned a TON tinkering with i

The 5 hours doesn’t surprise me. I was on the jury of a federal fraud trial with 2 defendants with 15 charges, ~30 million in losses. We were thorough and went through each count separately, including reviewing some of the evidence, and wer

At home I have a little Intel NUC running ubuntu hooked up to a 4 bay synology NAS. I’m running several web apps, a git server, Plex, pihole, private CA, and keykloak, all on top of microk8s. It’s overkill, but I appreciated the opportunity
