You should see the driving and biking conditions in Seattle. Expecting a bike to stop on a dime when coming down a hill just after it rains is wholly unrealistic.

Coming down a hill at 20Mph in a bike lane that should be at least partially clear on a wet day (very common in Seattle) is perfectly legal. Running into a large unexpected object in the path is hardly the cyclists fault.

Mainly due to the average consumer not being interested in installing an app for something like LetGo or OfferUp (Craigslist competitors). Even Facebook works well in a mobile browser, with push notifications even!

Why should it matter, said officer shouldn't be querying NCIC to dox his neighbor. I doubt he actually bothered to use the local parcel viewer.

Illicit querying of NCIC should be a crime in and of itself that officers and anyone else with access (admin personnel & some security guards) are commonly prosecuted for. We should have a right to security in our information, and priva

Dark background, light text for Firefox Android is pretty good, makes reading websites much easier for me!

Its so underpowered though, other Allwinner SBC vendors already have H2+to H5 boards for cheap (eg: $6.99 for an OrangePi Zero), even an H2+ chip has 4x the cores at a similar clock as the CHIP.

I was definitely not a fan of Grand Rapids for the 2 weeks I spent there. Walking around the block (despite there being decent sidewalks) was basically unheard of, and crossing the street was akin to running across a freeway. The worst part

Welcome to having America's latest STD! Its bigger than Hepatitis (at 3 million), and costs about the same to cure ($80k to $90k a person). Relationships are delayed, careers are set back and our economy is slowly bled. Much like healt

Bellevue College might be the biggest, but its far from the best. They tend to hire current UW professors to teach one class a quarter, stuff the rest of the dept with teachers that were able to get canned at the Seattle Colleges and UW sat

They're a brutal vendor to work with unless your huuuge :(

The Raspberry Pi having a non-closed bootchain, let alone a free driver is a feat of tens of thousands of people pressuring Broadcom, and a few people doing the hard work to free as much of the RPI as they could. Having to run Raspbian just

What are you talking about? Qualcomm is still hostile to free software, forcing binary blobs down your throat if you want to use an 802.11ac chipset. Ath10k might be open source, but everything interesting is hidden away by the proprietary

Pretty sure that means people who refuse to deploy TLS & IPv6, even when their hardware & software stack fully supports it.

Admins are lazy and busy, hence why UW for example runs a totally insecure PBX, which is surprising considering Avaya is usually one of the better vendors.

Decent deskphones are significantly more comfortable than cellphones, nevermind the better audio hardware.

Not so much, at most you'll save $5 to $10 a line compared to an MVNO. Postpaid carriers primarily make their money by locking you in on plans mis-sized for your needs, does every family member use unlimited data? Rarely. Equipment pro

Yeah, its akin to holding out for wireless charging on a Pixel. Its dead and not gonna come back :c

Sounds like bad Infosec policies at work. I doubt they have VLANs, everything can likely access everything internally.

VOIP and specifically SIP in its least secure form became the replacement for old tandem circuits. Sadly, rather than pushing SIP hardware out to the endpoints, most lamdline carriers chose to just provide twisted pair service. VoLTE is as

Use full disk encryption, or store Signal's database in an encrypted volume. Signal for Android only has encryption due to the litany of issues associated with FDE on android, from wiping your phone when you encrypt it, to accidentally

That is Moxie's main point, full disk encryption should be used everywhere, and encrypting Signal's message database on Android is purely due to full disk encryption on Android being a steaming pile or bricking your phone.

What kind of i5 do you have? If its a i5-2500k your only going to gain ~15% to ~20% in performance, I would buy a 1600X or just hold off on upgrading at all.

Maybe use Flask and do cert based auth? A username and password is pretty clunky, and a bit of a pain IMO for sub-10 user projects.

Eh, you might as well spin up a few alts over Tor and occasionally use them to build karma, Reddit allows Tor users and registration over Tor. Not saying this isn't a good thing, if Reddit banned Tor a few of my favorite community memb

Seems more like dumping goods to me, admittedly the only places with well priced bananas in Seattle are the Asian markets and a few fruit stands, the Kroger brands (QFC, Fred Meyers) and Cerebrus Capital brands (Safeway, Albertsons) move 90

It's already pretty popular, similar to Mega.co.nz.

CryptPad is pretty solid, definitely a step up from Etherpad Lite. Curious how CryptPad's encryption could be leveraged in a replacement for uppit, as another reddit from source install is obviously not a great idea.

Sure, but does signal work in China? I'd be impressed if it did without any tunneling.

He probably is running it all himself, it's only a 50 customer business. Combined with a day job that allows him to take the occasional personal call, it's very doable. If you look on the DSLReports Wireless ISP forum, most of the
