One big thing RHEL has going for it is that it has a DISA STIG, which Ubuntu/Debian/other distros lack, so it's firmly cemented as the distro of choice for some DoD networks. Otherwise I think Ubuntu and its plethora of spino

As the other commenters said, my Moto G Power has one, and you use the earbud cord as the antenna. It's super useful when storms knock out communication towers in our area because I can still get the local weather and news over FM.

Not sure if it's just StackOverflow or the whole of StackExchange. I used to be active in another StackExchange subject site and it was incredibly toxic (and I say this as someone who is generally open to letting people speak their min

I agree. There's a big difference in being lonely and being alone. There's also a big difference between isolation and loneliness. You can be isolated but not lonely, and likewise you can be lonely and surrounded by folks. The ot

Nana used to tell people "my grandson is a rocket scientist" lol. I work on ARINC653 OSes, which do sometimes go into rockets, but mostly just aircraft.

Oooff.. these are hard-hitting stories for me. I can relate similar anecdotal evidence though; my parents called just today to vent about the cost of a carton of eggs at the discount grocer. We've not noticed it too much yet, save the

Zapier is really awesome for the non-tech crowd. I think this space is only going to continue to grow. I decided to build https://atlasconnex.com for developers who need more fine-grained control, but don't want to stand up

Moved a SaaS tool from Linode to DigitalOcean. Reason for the move was security driven. DO's K8S volumes are LUKS encrypted at rest by default; one less thing in your security controls to worry about. Prices are higher than Linode&#x27

Agreed here. I do this type work for a career, and if you need safety critical + real time (which really just means known and bounded time) guarantees, anything with an ME type device that can usurp the cores is generally a no go. Especiall

I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one who did this kind of thing as a child. For me it was "archive" which I was pronouncing "ar-chiff" as opposed to "ar-kive". Took a while to break that habit.

I'm in your camp on this one. The new features are neat, but MIDI 1.0 being stupid-simple is its killer feature to me. Plus everything from the last 30yrs supporting it is a big plus. I love that I can take my 1980s SuperJX and fit it
