Very nice. How about site where we can play it in the browser? There are several wasm dos simulators..
If you're throwing benjamins away, send some my way.
A surveillance technology, intended only for lawful use, is being used unlawfully.
Huh. Who could have seen that coming?
Required reading: "The Circle" by Dave Eggers.
Skip the movie; the ending sucks and there's too much drama.
The book neatly lays out how little steps towards a better life (like being able to find your lost dog) lead to an oppressive surveillance state. Every step is a good thing and makes logical sense. The end result is not good.
What I don't understand is how they get blindsided by the public's reaction. Do they not have high-powered PR teams to do market research? Or did they fire them when they came back with news that the self-centered execs didn't want to hear?
We implemented a very similar solution more than five years ago. The NanoPi R3S was not available then, so we used the GL.iNet GL-MT300N-v2 (aka Mango) running OpenWRT as our edge gateways. It's slow and only has two 100Mb ports, but that was never the bottleneck. At that time, I was able to assemble a batch of 10 including cables and power supplies for only $300, which was ridiculously cheap for such a flexible solution.
If you need a polished, turnkey solution, by all means check netrinos out. If you have a strong Linux/nftables/wireguard background, this solution is easy to roll on your own.
People still use UPnP? That's the first thing I disable on a new router.
It's hard to take this rant seriously when the author chose to clutter his rant with snowflakes. If he's looking for more readers he's lucky I run uMatrix and chose to disable javascript instead of just closing the tab and moving on.
I pay taxes. Do I get a seat on the board?
No?
Then don’t use my taxes on that!
Shareware has been around since at least the 1980s, kids. The value proposition is that you get to evaluate an app's quality first before committing a payment.
If an app is unusable without an IAP, then that tells you about the developer's ethos and what kind of support you can expect. Cancel and delete.
In Win98SE days, I setup a PC for my parents to use. It was their first computer, and I personalized it the way I setup mine: enable view extensions and path bar in Explorer, remove the Go button in IE, and so on.
Then I got a call from my Mom: "I typed in the web address, now what do I do?"
To me, it was obvious: hit Enter. But MS had done their A/B testing, and that Go button was for the beginning user.
For the OP to assume that everyone is as adept as they are is folly. As another user lamented, sometimes you have to rub the user's nose in it for them to know they can click something.
Looks like the transformation of RHEL into a Windows clone is nearly complete. I'm all for it, as I expect a modern fork without systemd will coalesce for those of us that prefer Linux over Windows.
Repost... There was a link to this back in 2016.
YARA-X is dead, long love the next fad
The engineer's method: there's a way to wipe all markings and still figure it out. If the compressor is off and turns on when you turn the knob clockwise, then clockwise sets it to a colder temperature. Conversely, if the compressor is on and turns off when you turn it counterclockwise, then clockwise still sets it to a colder temperature.
Keep in mind that there should be a lockout period where the compressor does not come on within a few minutes of turning off, so you can't just move it back and forth and listen to the compressor start and stop.
This makes me wonder, how does a certificate of death work? Could a doctor declare that it does not have a heartbeat, and is therefore dead? Would that remove its person-hood, as there is no person to represent it and show life in court?
You can blame the ever-increasing complexity of MS Windows for that. My parents are now on Linux, being that the only things they do on it, other than open the occasional email attachment, are all browser-based. It's easier for me to occasionally run an apt-get upgrade remotely than it is to try to keep Windows free of infestations.
Two major areas I would focus work on:
1. concurrency
2. variable naming
3. off-by-one errors
Add me to the list that recommends Energysage for a basic rooftop solar resource.
You didn't mention your state. The regulatory environment differs significantly between states, and determines what the electric company can do, since they're generally state-regulated public utilities. If you can sell excess electricity back to your utility at retail rates, it makes little sense IMO to buy a battery. However, if the utility will only pay wholesale rates for your excess, a battery can be cost effective, depending on your daily production/use cycle.
Also look up "solar value deflation" and understand that, as more people install solar, the value of it will decrease as net metering regulations and connection vs. distribution costs get shifted. Read up on the difficulties people with solar leases have encountered when trying to sell their home. For that reason alone, I'd recommend buying, even if it means a second mortgage or HLOC to pay for it.
I'm personally holding out for more efficient panels, cheaper batteries, and home-scale bio-fuel production for excess energy so I can size my install to support being truly off-grid throughout all four seasons.
I'm pretty sure this is more feature rich than dnsmasq, but the golang ipkg on the latest OpenWRT release is 99MB. My overlay filesystem started at less than 24MB.
This software not for users like us.
Perhaps someone will implement equivalent functionality using C or Python libraries for those of us that run by choice in a resource-constrained or embedded environment.
The first link has no relevance to the discussion, and the second I had indeed read before posting. Need I point out that C++ IS NOT C. Being a good C++ programmer does not make you a good C programmer, and vis versa. I would argue, in fact, that many of the capabilities that a knowledgable, current C++ coder depends on would make them more liable to encounter issues coding in C, std::auto_ptr being chief among them.
Another rust proponent lecturing the world on how they should rewrite everything in rust. yawn
Sock it all away and keep working. You seem like a smart guy. Google "compounding interest."
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

How often have we seen politicians champion an issue only to find out that it's over-compensation for the presence of that issue in their personal life... cough Foley cough
