The natural conclusion of all the “whacky home projects” youtubers: building an underground lair from questionable materials.

I’m reminded of the Futurama scene

Leela: That’s over 150 atmospheres of pressure!

Fry: How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?

Prof: Well, it’s a spaceship so I’d say anywhere between zero and one.

Oooh do you know your flour gram amount when you scoop and sweep? I’m terrible at flour cup consistency, to the point I have to ask my SO to scoop if the recipe isn’t in grams. They do more dessert baking and seem to have the technique down.

I think his point is more that you might have multiple components that need database access in your app, so those component have a connection (or reuse a central access) and for simplicity reasons, you made 1 database for the whole app, rather than one per component. Once that happens there’s a new path that could be used to pass information between the components in a way that isn’t the function interface. Much like a global variable can be used that way. And there’s a risk you start to use the database like a global variable store.

I don’t use databases much, so I don’t have a strong opinion, but it’s an interesting thought.

Unfortunately that’s the system working as intended, it allows people to show preexisting support for more extreme views without ‘losing’ by not voting for your side of the two nearly center parties

Well unluckily we don’t have any special exceptions for people with disabilities, so this means I’m forced to double down and say wheelchair users also belong on the road, IF their wheelchair is electrified.

My argument is still that more space should be taken from driving and parking lanes rather than turning pedestrian areas into the dumping ground for anything that’s not a car, overcrowding it.

I’m not sure I see your point, unless you’re assuming college campuses and downtown cores aren’t still heavily car based in the US? I assure you most of them have a road or parking lane to spare near the restaurants that the bots want to pick up from

The road! It’s got 4 wheels and motors. Or we could think about how we’ve designed urban spaces that surrender all space to cars forcing everyone not in a car can get fucked, so maybe take one car lane away and make a new bike/ delivery bot lane.

Sadly the price of beans and tofu is also rising, unless you buy in bulk.

If you do it, you can say you’re still 5/7 days superior, and that’s a perfect score

Ohhh, it’s like they got the first half of a riemann sum type explanation for curve integration, and started daydreaming halfway through

Remember, if you got fired, you might have fucked up or failed (might, still not guaranteed). If you got laid off, then your boss’ boss or C Suite fucked up. They made bad decisions and the business revenue didn’t show up as they predicted, and you’re just paying the price instead of them. So try not to sweat it, and recognize that unlike the 70s, a lot of companies now plan to grow aggressively and layoff at the first sign of danger.

Hopefully you got a severance large enough to give you a bit of breathing room while you look for another job without too much stress

The sign of a well thought out law, for sure, lol.

So videolan is pulling in either 50 million a year globally or 7 million in just france? That’s some significant numbers. And they’re also pushing at least 20 million GB of data in France? That must mean the law counts me using vlc to connect to e.g. a publicly available rtsp stream or something as vlc generating that content? $55/Tb is a pretty massive tax. This article has left me more confused than I thought possible

But it feeeeels like a backup, and isn’t that what really matters? In my setup I have 3 drives (2x 8Tb, 1x 14 Tb) and I finally have the opportunity to do some consolidation and not just have 3 single drives plugged into a server. Zfs, raid , a dedicated backup drive, but I’m still figuring out what the layout should be.

What is this, some kind of subnautica crossover?

I do consider the master password to my password manager as my “thing I know”, and not the randomly generated passwords it stores. But you’re saying that have-vs-know is not really important in the security space, that was mostly just a handy shorthand?

so are passkeys just a simplified workflow version of the complicated dance I have to do on windows to get git commits to push easily with the public key from putty-gen? But also the private key is sometimes locked to the device it was generated on? I guess I should read some actual technical docs on em.

I have a basic question, I learned that MFA should draw from multiples of “things you have” (totp) and “things you know” (passwords). There’s all this talk of passkeys replacing passwords, but aren’t passkeys in the “thing you have” category, not the “thing you know” category? My worry is that an unlocked computer or unlocked phone will let someone access ALL of a person’s accounts because now they have the thing and don’t need you at all. Putting access to my entire digital life behind my 4-9 point lock symbol? Or worse, a fingerprint?

For data transfer to the display pixels, almost definitely every display uses some sort of multiplexing, but most display boards include a driver chip that does the multiplexing for you. There are a couple of persistent display techs (only send data when you want to change what is displayed) like e-ink, but there’s also a LCD version that I think Sharp just released, that doesn’t have e ink’s slow update rate or persistence tendencies. Both are much more expensive than your $free.99 display.

Very cool that you got it working! I also found a disposed vape and ripped out the charging board with a display like that to monitor/charge some spare 18650 batteries I harvested. I hate that the standard vape is now disposable, Lotta good stuff in there!
