   I gave up on the onedrive client and switched to rclone to access SharePoint at work. It's more manual but it always works! The onedrive client was great when it worked, but when it started misbehaving there was no real way to fix it b

   I received a similar email from Type Founders despite the fact that my website does not provide or even specify a specific font to use (besides things like size and sand serif). I got the impression it was either a shakedown or a very broad

    I once entered 'sudo echo hi" or something similar on a large HPCC and received an email back from a sysadmin that just said "hello".

    Just to add a data point, I had trouble accessing fastmail early this morning (around 7 EDT). I haven't had any issues since then.

    I have a meteorite wedding band and we were passing it around outside the bore to feel how strong the pull was. A grad student lost their grip and the ring shot into the bore like a bullet. No damage luckily but it really drove home how dan

    My (now) wife picked out her engagement ring on Etsy. It's an antique ring with a sapphire gem. Of course that took away some of the surprise from the proposal, but we were of the opinion that the fact one wants to get married shouldn&

    It's unfortunate how (blatantly) political this announcement is written, as opposed to scientific. I think announcements from FDA/CDC etc should be about the science, not the politics. But maybe I'm just being naive.
