Also: if you need a streaming box to see your AirPlay or UPnP devices for “casting” it necessarily has to be on the same VLAN as the devices it’s connecting to. Sonos speakers have this problem when subject to client isolation setups based

Depends on your networking setup. A good switch will simply refuse to route packets between clients on different VLANs, and hide the existence of the tags that determine which VLAN a host is on. A bad switch or router (which almost certainl

I wouldn't minimize the potential contribution of the teams building + evaluating the models, either. If you have an entire office full of "lib-left" hackers, executives, et. al., their biases are going to have an effect on t

The "dock" comment made sense to me because I don't think that true "road warrior" laptop use and 10G Ethernet deployments would coincide all that often. I've put a disproportionate number of hours and $$$ into

In California, yes; median income is around $100k. And of course, if you have kids, a mortgage, etc., you can qualify for plenty of tax incentives. OTOH, if you have kids your food, clothing, and transportation budget are almost certainly h

The perspective from over here in HN land is very skewed. According to the US Census, median household income in 2024 was $80,000. Add federal and state income tax* of 30%, and you're left with $56,000. Rent in lower-cost areas is arou

That's a DoS attack, not "jamming". RF jamming usually relies on flooding frequencies with garbage which doesn't get interpreted as valid protocol traffic but does "crowd out" legitimate use. The protocol-aware

How remote is "remote"? If you're talking about a few miles/KMs between nodes, plain old LoRaWAN might be more than sufficient, esp. for the sensor use case. The nice thing about using LoRaWAN is that's it's li

In many cases the people deploying these cameras have no idea the feeds are being resold to Flock. It’s not like they have a consumer brand and people are saying, “oh yeah, Flock, they’re the license plate camera folks…I definitely want one

For some people, an Anthropic outage brings work to a halt. For me (and I suspect for many others here) not being able to log in to their 1P vault to create and update credentials is a bigger deal.

Fingerprinting devices once you’re installed on them isn’t much harder than doing so in a web browser. Have Instagram installed on your phone? Great, now every Meta-owned app _or advertiser running on their platform_ has a pretty good shot

But we’re not taking about a 80-year gap here (“blaming modern Germans”); we’re talking about people who are in the global top 5% of income and prestige choosing _today_ to contribute to these organizations. If you believe that your labor i

"Justifying lower insurance rates" is just algorithmic bias described from the perspective of someone it doesn't (currently) harm. See also: credit scoring, insurance claim acceptance, job applications, etc., etc. You only ge

Likewise interested in the authoritative answer, but: if I needed to write a decent chunk of code that had to run as close to wire/CPU limits as possible and run across popular mobile and desktop platforms I would 100% reach for Rust.

This sounds like an excellent distillation of the will to procreate and persist, but I'm not sure it rises to the level of "morals." Fungi adapt and expand to fit their universe. I don't believe that commonality places t

I think that any kind of “modern ops” necessarily includes coding, even if there isn’t a ton of Python or Rust being generated as part of the workflow. Kubernetes deployment configurations and Ansible playbooks are code. PromQL is code. Doc

AdaFruit and SparkFun both provide MCUs, sensors, and other peripherals that integrate well. Couple that with copious libraries and example projects and you may be up and running without having to stare at data sheets and wiring diagrams an

In ~25 years or so of dealing with large, existing codebases, I've seen time and time again that there's a ton of business value and domain knowledge locked up inside all of that "messy" code. Weird edge cases that weren

You’re totally right; I got myself spun around thinking AES instead of of ChaCha because the product I work on (ZeroTier) started with the initially and moved to AES later. I honestly just plain forgot that WireGuard hadn’t followed the sam

A Raspberry Pi 4 can manage something like 70Mbps of raw AES en/decryption flow: https://github.com/lelegard/aesbench/blob/main/RESULTS.txt That CPU is pretty much a toy compared to (say) a brand-ne

We host a fair bit of Terraform code in a repos on GitHub, including the project that bootstraps and manages our GH org’s config: permissions, repos, etc. Hilariously, the official Terraform provider for GitHub is full of N+1 API call patte

I bought the InkPalm a while back, and the Palma recently. (Note: I have a "thing" when it comes to e-Ink devices and so tend to just pull the trigger on new interesting ones when they come out.) They're superficially similar

Neon at least has open-sourced their core offering, which provides a migration path for folks who make bigger bets on their platform. So yeah, there's every possibility they'll go away at some point, but unlike a lot of SaaS offer
