Re:Copy Fail – CVE-2026-31431 on Wednesday April 29, 2026 @06:14PM (#47955431)
RedHat has also changed it to "Important severity" and "Affected" now.
I guess the new CNCF Cilium Certified Associate (CCA) is a Cisco certification soon :)
I guess you'll have to deep in the apple cult to be amazed by other phone chargers. Power Delivery have been around for over 10 years, follow standards and have enough power and it charges.

Wow 82 sloc. That just way too much bloat.
Re:Omega2: $5 Linux Computer with Wi-Fi on Thursday September 01, 2016 @08:49AM (#12404818)
wth! That page tells us nothing useful. The hardware headline has a picture of it, a pinout diagram and nothing more. What kind of hardware is it built with? What architecture is it? What's the wi-fi chip? Does it have good support? What libraries are you using? What distros are supported?

All I can see it that it's running busybox and a two year old kernel.

What about Vimperator or Pentadactyl?

Nice!

I would have gone for a simpler loop:

echo -e "sec\tmethod\turl";for url in {https,http}://{www.,}{en.wikipedia.org,{google,reddit,facebook,youtube,netflix,amazon,twitter,linkedin,msn}.com,google.co.in}; do curl -sL "$url" -w "%{time_redirect}\t${url%:}\t${url#//}\n" -o/dev/null; done|sort

Re:Why use www? on Sunday January 31, 2016 @12:45PM (#11007129)
Thanks, it sure looks less ugly with -o/dev/null{,} I couldn't find any other way to get curl to stay silent and still output redirect times. Hence the crude hack. (Obviously my bash and curl versions had no problem with the spaces or I wouldn't have posted it)
Re:Why use www? on Sunday January 31, 2016 @09:54AM (#11006573)
This is because reddit.com and www.reddit.com gets you the http-versions, which both are redirected to https

Try this: curl -sL https://{www.,}reddit.com -o\ /dev/null{,\ } -w "%{time_redirect}\n"

I also assumed that it was some kind of Python wrapper or implementation of Tesseract OCR when I saw that name. One would think so when Tesseract being (one of?) the best preforming OCR-programs out there.

I'd rather have No-Ships and Unlimited Spice.
"The Yogscast's Yogventures was the first Kickstarter I ever saw that set off alarm bells in my head" What? Was this also the first Kickstarter the article author ever saw?
Re:List of fictional computers on Sunday June 01, 2014 @07:17PM (#7831068)
Yes both the Vinculum and the Central Plexus should on that list. The Vinculum is specifically described as a processing device whereas the Central Plexus might be more of a switchboard. (Edit: all this is VOY not TNG ofc)

Can't you just switch on the Wifi-hotspot on your iPhone and connect together that way?
Re:Email Patterns for Web Apps on Saturday March 08, 2014 @02:04PM (#7365988)
I agree. The e-mail patterns here are so different that I don't think they belong in the same article.
