Micro mobility is amazing if you live in an area that is at all accommodating. I started using an electric scooter to go get lunch when weather isn't intolerable. It's harder with small children or if everything is car-only distan

Or, use a service that lets you generate an address for each business you deal with or use case you have so you can treat them as disposable. After chasing down spammers and companies selling my info, including my email, I found this was ea

For me as someone that would potentially be interested in and qualified for one of these roles, the DOGE actions earlier this year and ongoing firing of nonpartisan & non-appointed that don't tow the current ruling party line ruine

In my head, it'll be like the high pressure timeshare sales pitches or the dreaded car sales transactions, where they pull out all the tricks to convince you to buy something you don't actually want or need, regardless of whether

Just a heads up that PC Engines is winding down. The chip they use in the APU2 is EOL, and they've decided to shut down altogether. https://pcengines.ch/eol.htm

Does the Reduce Transparency option in Accessibility remove the drop shadow? If it does, I'd expect it to be all windows, but might satisfy your desire here.

I usually do the same, but not always. And I believe clicking through is a behavior of a minority of people and interactions, judging by the click through rate drops sites have seen recently. (On mobile at the moment, so apologies for not g

In advance, sort of. The devices can be swapped around at basically any time. There's a little lag for a device to get the config update enabling Mullvad on it IME, usually 30 seconds or so.

They don't need to share a single cert. Multiple certificates can be, and possibly should, issued for the same address (or set of addresses). This means that one front door server that gets popped doesn't expose all connections to

I've nearly given up on using containers on macOS for development at work, because I frequently need to test amd64-only containers. One deviation from our production (Linux on x86_64) is bad enough, but two surfaces issues, or even ann

I'm curious whether the community will trust Redis-the-company again after this, or if they'll choose to stick with Valkey. The other concern is at least some big company legal departments are wary of AGPL software, which makes Va

From what I gather, anything they've saved is going to tax cuts for wealthier Americans and increased military spending. The 90% of folks at the lower end are getting tax increases, too, as of the latest plan I've seen. How much D

One thing I have been considering for my immediate family, and possibly my parents, is setting up a small MDM. This seems more in line with allowing power users to do powerful things while keeping the less savy users from totally blowing up

Yes. Also, nscd is irrelevant in at least a few ecosystems. Java and (I think) Go try to do their own resolving instead of using libc. Java's resolver, in particular, is braindead in the default configuration: infinite record caching,

Single-use scenarios would be my first thought, especially food containers and utensils from food vendors. I would think places where wood is, or could reasonably be, employed might also work. Table top game tokens, for example. Uses where

If we stop treating asynchronous communications mechanisms (chat, email, etc.) as synchronous (voice/video calls, face-to-face), the urgency issue goes away for everyone. Async comms should regularly (and, perhaps, by default) be muted

Line-oriented formats, like most traditional Unix-style tools, are for human consumption. JSON is bad at that, thus gron. On the other hand, structured output formats, like JSON, make it easier to consume with other programs. Standard forma
