From memory there was LPAR "Logical Partitions" - which were effectively like a VM. and there was WPAR "Workload Partitions" - which had a shared OS and were more like a container. I had some "interesting" expe

That is less of a problem in the consumer space where the OIDC Auth providers have giant long lived sessions (google/FB/etc). In the government/banking/etc space - there is at least FIDO/WebAuthn/Passkeys which

I'll echo this for anyone else in the comments -- You can watch the cricket episode with 0 knowledge of the show and 0 knowledge of cricket. If you haven't ever seen Bluey - it's a great example as to why so many speak so hi

I'm not sure how true that first statement is anymore. Most of the recommendations I see now are "just get a Bambu labs one". We are much closer to 3D printing as a utility as opposed to 3D printing as a hobby than we were

Fun thing with payphones - at least in Australia -- Telstra is investing in upgrading them (at least the ones in the cities). They aren't very useful as phones - but they are incredibly well situated billboards that you can plaster ad

This is hacker news. Sam was the founder of a startup in the very first round of YC. He then later became president of YC. I expect news of him to resonate more around here. And OpenAI have been the most exciting tech company of the last 12

So you're covered for "forgotten" - but "lost" is still an issue. What happens when a user loses their passkey? (stolen phone, no backups, house fire, etc).

If I'm reading the docs right (TBH - I'm probably not) it looks like on a z16 you can get 200 cores and 40TB of Memory on a single "VM" (LPAR). So 1/100th of the CPU and 40% of the RAM. (I suspect the RAM compariso

So make sure you are doing PKCE for public clients. With that, and the redirect URL (and therefore trusting DNS), and the other browser security model stuff…. You’re in fairly good shape. There’s newer standards coming like DPoP - but it’s

For a home Christmas light display or something similar - I guess 10k can count as large. (I’m running ~14k, about 1100 of them from WLED). For commercial/art installations - I don’t think that’s “large” though. Something like a f16v4

WLED has sound reactive plugins for built-in effects. Looks like there's some new stuff in .14 for this as well -- but I haven't followed closely. Or if you wanted to externalise it completely - it supports DDP/E1.31 -- you

If you haven't seen it -- Qantas are pushing ahead with "Project Sunrise" on A350-1000. So you'd get to MEL or SYD without a layover - but with something like a 20 hour flight. https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.

I think perhaps the middle space? 90's power tools? Any old battery tools? I consider my petrol mower to be obsolete - but I can't justify replacing it with an electric/battery one when it functions fine.
