I find myself periodically looking for delicious alternatives. Out of all the web apps that have come and gone this was my fav. Bookmarking inside the browser has never come close to this for me.

If I need to figure out what they’re actually asking I’m out. This article makes it clear the majority of these consent boxes are not really compliant. On a side note if someone says they’re in advertising I automatically hate them, this terrible I know, but they’re usually pompous assholes and that’s how I feel of that industry as a whole.

Regarding point 2

“Canadian research on "computer-mediated communication," begun long before the current lockdown, shows video chat is an inadequate substitute for real-life interaction. The real thing, dependant on non-verbal cues, is extraordinarily more effective in creating rapport and getting ideas across.”

One of the worst parts of being a network-worker in a University, is managing the wireless and the expectations of how wireless should perform at every square inch of the campus. I understand the frusterations of the students, but at the same time learn a bit about the pros and cons of the technology you're so dependent on.

Same reason phishing is a profession I suppose lol

That's fair, I personally avoid those third party sellers for the off chance you get ripped off or get a bootleg/knock off.

I hope your experience(s) had neither of those?

As someone who works at a university in Alberta who is on furlough, this worry’s me because they will delay recalling us even longer. Since our provincial government is hell bent on destroying any form of non Christian learning institutions. Post secondaries have the covid front and the government cut front. Multiple people have volunteered for buyouts but the schools can’t afford the union mandated abolishment terms, being in education in Alberta right now is a career death sentence. Anyone worried about the debt from this needs to relax the majority of this money goes right back into the economy for food, clothing and shelter, and They’re clearly not relying on it for their families survival, it’s a tough nut to casually pivot elsewhere right now.

In all honesty who is buying from these third parties, if something on Amazon isn’t fulfilled via Amazon, I’m not buying. If I’m looking for something on Best Buy the first thing I’m doing is looking for the Best Buy only toggle. Is it strictly to make points on the vendors sales? To give a false appearance of massive inventory? Could a third party vendor list “Item A” on eBay, Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart and have access to cross site APIs that when “Item A” is sold it’s removed from all market places? As a Canuck I’m happy for Shopify, as consumer I’m losing interest in online shopping, which might be futile with how everything is trending.

FreeBSD is a delight to run, I use an old AMD build to host Plex, PiHole and some other services in bhyve VMs. Keep a copy of Absolute FreeBSD around for physical reference just like the 90s.

absolutely love when hn has audio related content. Thank you for sharing this, I will use this with dexed next time I'm horsing around with sound design.

This looks really cool, by the nature of my user name I must greedily request vintage sampler modes. :)

Does the Nvidia acquisition of Cumulus make that even worse going forward?

I like this comparison

What is DevNet Sandbox?

DevNet Sandbox makes Cisco's free spread of technology available to developers and engineers by providing packaged labs we call Sandboxes. That's right, totally free! There are two types of sandboxes, Always-On and Reservation. Each sandbox typically highlight one Cisco product (think, CallManager, APIC, etc). Sandboxes can be used for development, testing APIs, learning how to configure a product, training, hack-a-thons, and much more!

Cisco Devnet has tons of free resources now, I was just using CML2 to build and test typologies. I would be cautious looking at old Cisco content if you do plan to get CCNA/NP/IE level certs since the whole curriculums changed in Feb2020.

Regardless thank you for sharing these links the Fortinet one looks intriguing, esp being on furlough I got enough time on hand.

The python course is asking for a lot of personal information, for something free to do while we're all isolating.

To the credit of the author they did mention "I personally use an aggressive battery of ad blocking techniques to eliminate them from my browser too"

Thank you for the reply, once we loose the last of our 2.4 devices maybe I'll re-try in AC only.

Did you notice your wireless signal strength considerably lower when going to dd-wrt?

I put openwrt on my c7 V5 and could barely get any bars.

Flashed back to the stock and was back in business.

Another thing I've read is the third party firmwares don't get hardware access to NAT resulting in speed hits.

Cheers

I use Live Lite as I've been to cheap to upgrade my 9 Suite up. The plugin and synth limitations are easily offset by 3rd party plugs either free or sale snags. Lite will give you the feel of Live and have you creating at a very low cost, people give away Lite licenses and they follow the upgrade cycle lite 9 to live 10, etc.

^ This.

thanks

I don't think fools in the D are posted up with an airsoft gun....
