I never had a problem with systemd init despite its quirky habits like just giving up if a mount is bad in fstab, and I rather like systemd-networkd over the other four or five ways of managing the network. Systemd-timesyncd isn’t bad eithe

Keep in mind post tax income sources are king when retiring before age 65 and looking for ACA subsidies.

That isn’t what the person to whom you’re responding is saying. Morse code is very much like a language in that there are audible intonations that differentiate between See, Aye and Tee. Being able to copy that in your head is the same as

I think this is a pragmatic healthy way to enjoy someone’s work. It is pretty much how I go about it. And it helps that my heroes are all long dead (Michael Collins, for instance ). Where I think that does not work is when there is a deep

Are you serious? Only in the last week we have Sony deleting paid-for movies. That is pretty anti-consumer. I realize all of this is empirical, but the term enshitification just didn’t form out of thin air.

Me losing $500 to Musk’s clever idea is still me losing money. It isn’t like this is a normal market event. If it is not the end of the world, cover my losses.

Madoff’s scheme ran for nearly 15 years, starting in earnest possibly 20 years before that. I think “long” is very relative to the scam. Carvana has been written about in the WSJ in glowing articles, that now have shifted to a questioning t

Maybe a comprehensive privacy law that bans the sale of location data, how is that for a start?

Cart abandonment. Good grief, any company that reaches out on that premise immediately loses my business on general principle. I may indeed have forgotten, changed my mind or found it cheaper elsewhere. Get over it. I walked out, chasing

One of the actors of the show recorded promos for the station, so guess not. The fact that someone posted a link to the article that you probably didn’t read also refutes this premise.

With notifications disabled APNS push notifications fail for the sending app backend. The device id is rendered invalid if push notifications are disabled at any point. Backends are supposed to handle this and quit sending messages. Signa

EME has been made a bit more affordable and effective by weak signal modes and DSP. It used to require very high power, expensive transmission lines, preamps and monstrous arrays of Yagis. Now with JT65x, and SDRs, you can use cheaper coax

The backlash is from Meta trying of assign liabilities of their business practices on people who may not even be users. Yes, this is just the beginning of a huge swath of innocent APIs to identify people on the internet. Meta isn’t going t

I was already on my way to de-internetizing and de-digitalizing my life, this just makes it more of an imperitive. Have at it Meta, you broke it you most certainly bought it!

You are correct, but the problem was the PC only had 16 IRQs. That required using intelligent multi-port cards from Digi or Rocketport. They worked by aggregating all the ports to a single card IRQ, and managing all the hardware signals,

Lots of interesting ideas to fix it, I’ll offer mine: let it die. The grand bargain of the web is gone and it ain’t coming back.

You are not wrong, except at scale it gets complicated quickly. For starters, to support large user numbers, you’re going to have to process your own grib2 data for radar and turn them into tiles at zoom levels. It takes about 24 cores wit

It is all metadata at this point. With statistical monitoring and sharing of netflow data, there is no anonymity on the internet. Entire businesses specialize in this; Nokia and Kentik.

So both consent to sex and now one thinks they're entitled to marriage. That's where this inevitably leads, user/customer lock-in and control. While the bank use case makes a compelling argument, device attestation won'
