Curiosity is killing my cat here. How are we supposed to know when your freshman year of college was? Was it a year ago, 8?

Well, when you visit it https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=7/23.765/-87.100 there's no naming of that area at all. At least when looked at from a US IP. And when you search "Gulf of America" it returns "Gulf of Mexico". So take from that what you will.

Had a problem this week helping a customer troubleshoot some SAML interactions. They couldn't install SAML Tracer in their environment and I got tired of digging through HAR files and manually decoding SAML assertions and the like so I made https://hartosaml.com/.

Just drop in your HAR file and get immediate insights into the SAML related events.

Hey, you did more validation than the guy I was responding to! Kudos.

Sure. I bet the Military Times also used the IRCG as a source. https://www.militarytimes.com/industry/techwatch/2026/08/04/...

Probably Reuters too https://www.reuters.com/world/us-has-used-virtually-all-its-...

Which quant do you use? I have a similar setup and the speed is atrocious at 4-bit.

"Success leaves clues"

You gotta start somewhere and you can start at page 1 or page 10 and that time, energy and cost you saved starting 9 pages later can be put into making whatever it is you're building better than the original.

The US, and every other country, is full of derivatives or straight up copies. No one is getting super mad at the generic cheerios at the grocery store. It's hypocrisy.

E2E is supported for specific types of folders available only to teams but the admin has to enable it and that folder has to be used. You can't apply it team wide to all users. It's a very poor implementation.

Finally

You'll probably make a profit by selling them today. I bought a M1 Max Studio with 64 GB last year off FB Marketplace for $1000 and today I'm seeing numerous 32 GB M1 Maxes for $1200-1500.

So why not license the shape then? They could do a royalty with those deemed of quality and deny a license to those that are of lower quality and then sue them if they don't use the design. This would allow them to manage quality with lower reputational harm.

Remember, most fire stations will give you a tour, let you sit in the truck, etc, if you just pop in. They love to show off.

Except is was said by Vice President Thomas R. Marshall upon Theodore Roosevelt’s death and co-opted as a Chuck Norris joke.

speaking of, Dropbox bought a similar product a couple of years ago https://reclaim.ai/

I tried this out about 2 months ago when setting up a new server. I wanted something simpler and less resource heavy as webmin but it was just too simple. Adding questionable, half baked add-ons to get various functions to work just didn't give me the flexibility of webmin.

I have made a dedicated api application and I have adjusted the tps flags. I’ve scanned the forums a few times but I’ve yet to inquire there.

Interesting. I’ve been through 4 large transfers to Dropbox in the last 3 years and never once has it honored that header.

This has been my problem. Not necessarily that the rate limits are low, many can be gotten around by using multiple users to do the work since the limits are per user, but how rclone handles those rate limits when they hit them. The exponential back off will end up making hours and days long delays that will screw a migration.

How do you deal with how poorly rclone handles rate limits? It doesn't honor dropbox's retry-after header and just adds an exponential back off that, in my migrations, has resulted in a pause of days.

I've adjusted threads and the various other controls rclone offers but I still feel like I'm not see it's true potential because the second it hits a rate limit I can all but guarantee that job will have to be restarted with new settings.

I mean, you didn’t give it enough time. All of these cloud storage platforms are databases at their core. When you delete the file you’re updating the database entry, the data (and the record of it) is still there until their purge process runs, which could be days or weeks.

If it’s still there at a month I’d be surprised and be checking terms of service to see what they commit to.

That’s because Diet Coke is not based on classic Coke. It’s based on new coke, it should really be called diet new coke. Coke Zero is based on Coca Cola classic.

I always appreciate when people make comments like this. It helps identify the trolls or people so completely outside of reality you can mark them as untrustworthy and ignore whatever they say.

Amen! This is part of the overall societal decline of no failing for anyone. You gotta feel the pain to get the growth.

This is the crux of Michael Dell’s big lesson as a teen that lead to the creation of dell computers. dell had a summer job in high school selling subscriptions to the Houston paper. He realized that the two groups of people most likely to buy were newly weds and those who recently moved. He paid his friends to scour the local marriage certificates and real estate rolls to see who met those qualifications and called only them. He claims to have made more in his summer job than his teachers made all year and paid cash for a new BMW.

I don't think the source was the concern .

Better building fire suppression systems. Not to mention improvements to flame retardant materials.

I would say, instead of "ideally an Asian woman", a millennial woman. Was recently in a tourist spot for a work outing, we asked a random person to take our photo in front of the big monument and the photos were awful, including a finger of the photographer in each photo. This woman was in easily 50+. Gave the phone to a passing millennial aged woman and got 10 well compositioned photos in both landscape and portrait mode.

Except the ground stop was due to an emergency with a flight from Puerto Rico
