After a long injury, I got back to slowly running on the treadmill/bike/elliptical at the gym. IIRC, my garmin qualified its VO2Max results by saying I needed to run out side for some period of time to get a more accurate measurem

dropping off the bus is the best case fail really. Its more annoying when writes become slower than the other disks often causing confusing performance profiles of the overall array. Having good metrics for each disk (we use telegraf) will

For me, when I first started running, I thought going on a 5k run burnt scads of energy. At 100KG I was looking at about 400-500 cals-- Thats a fancy muffin basically. But when you start hitting 50k a week, you do have to start thinking ab

Its so funny you mention the color. Looking at the image on the website, I was struck by the fact that beige could strike a visceral exciting nostalgia reaction in me. I mean, its beige FFS, the ultimate "boring" color :) I went

Happy memories. I discovered it around Delphi 2.0 when I was using Visual Objects in school. As soon as I starting playing with Delphi, it was an immediate realization, "Oh, this is what VO aspired to be"... It was such a great ID

I am in a similar same boat. Its way more correct than not for the tasks I give it. For simple queries about, say, CLI tools I dont use that often, or regex formulations, I find it handy as when it gives the answer Its easy to test if its

I think quality is something at least there is choice on. But even then, the lowest quality of materials now seems way above anything my 1940s war-time-four that I grew up in in Willowdale. It was just tarpaper "brick" over the

Would be useful to see the cost of just the land as well if thats possible. As others have pointed out, the size and feature expectation inflation has to be factored in here. The little "wartime 4" I grew up in north of Toronto wa

I suspect the distributed cracking will move to the same pattern as the SMTP/pop3 brute force guys did and use one IP per x+1 seconds where x=the ssh penalty window. We have seen this on our customer facing smtp server where we have h

These were from a while ago but the article implied they were new which they are not. Details at https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/v2.6.10/Changes.rst

Love it! I feverishly consumed every computer mag I could get my hands on back then, and there is something about those images that still capture my imagination and wonder today. I guess thats a testament to the artist!

TBH, my heart fluttered a bit when I saw the 2001 keyboard pictures. It was magic when I discovered the PET in the 80s.... I was a typical disengaged teen at school up until that point, and by next summer I PAID money out of my own pock

Straight up Smartwool. I use the same weight usually and just change out the height based on winter vs summer. But some of the other brands of 100% wool work well for me too.

For me, its always wool socks, but for shorts and shirt, polyester wicks the sweat away much better for me than cotton.

I am a long distance rec runner, and I use merino wool throughout the year (4 seasons in Canada). Since I started running ~ 15yrs ago I tried various blends/synthetics, nothing comes close to reduced odor, nor performance in general.

The graph was trending down (if the #s are to be actually reliable) since the late 2000s, which was a consistent period of cheap money / low interest rates. If the recent higher interest rates were the driving factor, you would think t

I still see a good amount, but I think I am better at blocking them through distributed firewall sensors and such. Also, I think there is an opportunity cost. When you hear how lucrative other hacking avenues are, why bother with crappy li

Some of the early 2001 PETs had them IIRC. I dont know what it was, but when I took computers in highschool there were still a few of the old ones in the class that had 4K and crappy keyboards and I think and there was something that didnt
