I feel like I'd rather solve this with a proxy PAC file. I recently started using this on airplane Wi-Fi where they'd block VPNs, but strangely not SSH. Dynamic forwarding with a good PAC to "direct" connect the onboard

Really no direct replacements for me if funding collapses such that both Firefox and Thunderbird go. Firefox's multi-account containers are unparalleled in their ease of separation. This was really the feature that lured me back from C

Never understood the obsession with Tailscale. I've got an on-demand WireGuard VPN back into my home network with both split (DNS and local service access) and full tunnels. I externally host more prominent things on a VPS and have a t

I seem to recall an anecdote from a colleague that interviewed with one of Apple's security teams. The actual room where the interview took place was locked from the outside and you had to use a badge reader on the inside to leave. I g

That was incredibly petty. If those animals did indeed have rabies, they likely would have been rabid long before. You have to question how downright evil some people are to what amounts to animal cruelty (avoidable euthanasia).

One headache I've had with internal LE certs is bots abusing the CT logs to attempt probing internal names. As a result, I started requesting wildcard certs from LE. Somehow that feels less secure, because even though I'd probably

The problem with Tesla's "self-driving" is people assume they have to provide no oversight or inputs beyond engaging the system. It's a recipe for disaster. Couple it with the rapid acceleration and speeds the Tesla is c

This is the one big downside to certificate transparency. Allowing anyone to ascertain private host names is far from ideal. The immediate counter is to, “run your own CA,” but that comes with its own headaches for small use cases.

No surprise. When she tweeted that they wanted an extremely short notice meeting about a “serious issue,” I knew she was done. This is how most of the big companies do their firings these days. Definitely not sympathizing with her, though

You can turn on multipoint and switch sources in the app, but it's clumsy. AFAIK, there's no way to do it on the device itself (and that's disappointing). I loathe having to disconnect one source to connect another.

That price is ... insane. I think the only saving grace will be spatial audio and if it's waterproof. They also seem a bit, well, ugly for an Apple product. I was patiently waiting for these. I bought (and loved) the original AirPod

Deplaning always feels slower to me. You usually get an announcement about twenty minutes before touchdown that you're inbound. I notice virtually nobody prepares during or after this announcement. If I took anything out of the over

This reminds me of the (I believe) NYT article on the woman whose husband recorded tens of thousands of wrestling matches on VHS tapes. The archive was sought after by fans of the sport, but since the man's passing - the wife has stru

In fairness, they "obsoleted" machines whose CPUs didn't have the features to support a good experience with Sidecar[1]. I wanted to wait until the 16" MBP rolled out before replacing my 2015, but I opted to go with a 2
