An annoying trend I've been seeing recently, which the GitHub repo behind this does, is having better documentation for the robots than there is for the users. Compare the README.md to the skills/pay-for-http-request/SKILL.md

It's far more likely to be "not allowed to ignore a serious* call out" than a budget or training conspiracy... *Serious as in, supposed shootings / murders / kidnappings etc - not serious as in "a legitimate ca

The chances are, if you live somewhere like that, somewhere that actually has a low noise floor for RF, then you likely also have a lot of space to cover with your wifi - and that means sacrificing range (via additional access points) for

Your LAN can handle it :) If the current setup can't, plugging the cameras and the NVR into a separate switch and none of that traffic will go near the rest of your LAN. Wifi on the other hand, there's really no (practical) segreg

Peer to peer? Self hosted stuff? (not sure how these work with starlink specifically, but - they should work, even if for whatever reason they don't)

While technically, yes, you are correct. It kinda misses the point - developers are more and more working with containers. Doing this on a Mac is an awful experience compared to doing it on Linux (or, Windows - I hear docker + WSL2 is prett

I'm sure they are perfectly capable of signing up. But, I'd bet they are expressly forbidden from doing it. Signups typically involve agreeing to some terms, and you absolutely don't want company employees working their offic

I stand corrected - not everyone can agree! In reality, as a service provider, you have no ability to determine if the client IP belongs to an individual or not - so you have no choice but to assume it does identify an individual.

by kiallmacinnes 5y ago
Honestly, it's not that big a leap to reach this interpretation. 1) Your IP address is considered personal data, as it can be used to identify you. In general, everyone can see and agree with this. 2) In the absence of additional prote

That's not strictly true - or at least - it's missing a piece. When a company decides to use a product, it needs to ensure that product is legal to use in their jurisdiction(s). If it gets to a court, it's likely that the con

They probably have 100 other apps and deploying this one without docker would make it a snowflake.

That's not always possible & wise, e.g. the example given is the Kubernetes search/ndots values. Changing this would break the expected "API" between the applications in Kube and the Kube cluster, which is bound to c

by kiallmacinnes 5y ago
On the `ndots` problem, it's best to get in the habit of using fully qualified names when you know them. A fully qualified DNS name ends in a period. Continuing the example in the article, use `google.com.` and there will be just one q

I'm not 100% sure of all the details, but archive.org has some exceptions[1] to the DMCA & thanks to California, it's officially considered a library - which again, I believe gives it some more leeway on the DMCA. [1]: https:

> that's an unintended consequence No, it's entirely unrelated to NAT. That's a consequence of the firewall on the router. IPv6 doesn't get rid of the firewall.

I don't see anything in there that requires `adb uninstall com.sony.foo` to work, for example? The command should generally work, sure, but that doesn't appear to require the command should work for all stock package names.

by kiallmacinnes 5y ago
One of SPF's shortcomings is that is doesn't act upon the `From` header at all, which is the name/address the recipient most often is shown. Instead, it acts upon the `Return-Path` header, which a well configured mailing list

It's about as thin as it can be, given the requirements for offline validation, and the environment it's designed for (airports / other national borders etc). Nobody wants every verification resulting in a ping back to some c

Theres a whole extra layer of legal complexity here :) e.g. some countries will consider you fully vaccinated X weeks after your 2nd jab of a specific vaccine. Others will say it's X+1 weeks. The system has been built so that these dec

Ignoring the many obvious privacy issues with this proposal, have you considered how this would result in a legally mandated single point of failure for (nearly..) all web sites?

By "place to dock", you mean like a USB port or something else? Lots of keyboards obviously have that already - including at least some of the Das Keyboards (mine does...)

Yes, you can use gpg-agent to handle this - I've been doing it for years... Every machine does need to be setup to use gpg-agent in place of ssh-agent, which frankly is a little annoying - but once it's setup your key is entirely

Based on the photo above - it's a purpose built structure designed to house that exact machine. What makes you think it doesn't meet the machines operating requirements?
