I appreciate this personal account. I too enjoy a good book and it can bring back memories. Also looking at your photo, I am in shock with how clean and organized you are. That is one area where my fa…

I do have my personal misgivings on passkeys based on the current implementation trajectory, but am still working out the details before writing on them. If anyone has direct experience with the recov…

I wrote this yesterday before seeing the news about the Firefox iOS native ad blocker. Still working through my bookmark management but off to a good start. I wish I had made the full leap years ago.

I have a 1st grader. The public school did tag testing in kindergarten and then the children in the program have a special class on Mondays for the more challenging work. Is this not talented and gift…

I have it after I shot an indoor USPSA (IPSC) match right after a major ear infection. I always wear double ear plugs and muffs. The ENT I saw said he thought it was the infection that did it not the …

And thus demarcs the extinction of games published after that date. 100 years from now those disks will be all that is knowable to the extent libraries and museums preserve compatible drives.

There is no cross platform standard that accomplishes the goals that authors turn to TUIs to solve. There is no widely distributed remotely accessible interface that pops up GUI windows from a shell c…

Seems Backblaze does not even read their own blog with articles about 3-2-1 backups and sync not being the same as backup.

I upgraded to a 4070 super last year. I ran both cards at the same time for a little bit, but it got really frustrating to keep the wrong card from being assigned to a particular task with llama. I re…

I am so grateful that I bought my 128 GB ram kit in January of last year for my own 9950 upgrade. We just built my dad a 7000 series to replace his old AM4 (2017 build) and 32 gigs DDR five was nearly…

We have one at the local park nearby. A neighbor also has one in her front yard. It's a really neat concept!

The server is not returning anything. Is this a honeypot that now has firewalled my IP for trying to see that page or is the site just hugged to death?
comment
Hence my question.

What is the best alternative that can run as a Docker image that mimics AWS S3 to enable local only testing without any external cloud connections? For me, my only use for Minio was to simulate AWS S3…

Anyone interested in keeping access should fork this open source repository now and make a local archived copy. That way when this organization deletes this repository there can still be access to thi…

It was certainly popular enough to be included in the 4th-century Codex Sinaiticus, which is the oldest extant "complete" Bible (Genesis through Revelation) in a single bound volume. Interes…

Spot on. The Criterion of Embarrassment is a powerful tool here; the fact that women were the primary witnesses to the resurrection is a classic example, given that a woman's testimony held littl…
comment
This has been a source I’ve referred to on and off for years. It’s really interesting to read some things that don’t show up in our everyday Bible. Including things that were considered not canon by t…
comment
Extremely interesting read. I need to go back over it again in detail on my computer not just my phone while holding my baby. A key theme in a future fiction I am writing (slowly) is that all digital …

We are loosing so many of the legends. I don't distinctly watching the Chronicles when it first aired - was too young, not in the right market - but as a computer history nerd watching the videos…

Interesting. The model picked Trixie as the name for Debian 18, which is actually the name of Debian 13 which is a current release in 2025.
comment
Very succinct, I agree. I honestly have never heard anyone—even those executing it poorly—try to frame Servant Leadership the way the original author did here (the "curling parent" analogy).…
comment
I think the author is significantly straw-manning the concept of servant leadership. The short take presented in the article doesn't match my lived experience with this style, both in secular and…
comment
It was 2017 that I decided to go all in ensuring that my main work computers were built from parts sourced via the local Micro Center. The real eye-opening situation is even if I have a top line most …
comment
I too am very sad. This has been my brand of ram for a long time. I’m also more of a software guy than hardware, but I appreciate being able to have high-performance gaming class systems for my work. …
comment
This sucks! I know more about software than hardware. Crucial is the only ram I have bought for decades now. As a practical matter does this mean one needs to buy DDR5 ram now from MicroCenter for a b…

My informal use of private missed the mark in a strict legalistic sense. We are on the same page about email left on the server being subject to subpoena. For everyone else, unless you use POP3 to dow…
comment
The practical short answer is yes, yes it will. It is not privileged communication. It is not considered private since you have left it on a third party server. It is discoverable via legal process to…
