You can do anything at AJIR. Welcome. Welcome to AJIR. The only limit is yourself.

Slack and A Forum are not comparable. Slack is largely for real-time communication which is rarely referenced historically, a forum is more of a knowledge store.

Sure! You are not the market for plant-based meat.

These products exist _because_ your claims about mushrooms and quinoa being acceptable (and somewhat available) just aren't true. There seems to be this army of people who say "compressed vegetables in a circle" are acceptable burger alternatives; they're really not.

This market isn't for existing vegans/vegetarians in most cases, it's for people curious about going that way or cutting down their consumption.

But they’re always hiring according to HN ads!

This is a tiny part of the wider picture, but Slack's social media has completely lost any personality it once had. Advertising irrelevant Salesforce conferences (to zero likes), not really interacting with people past the minimum... it's a shame. That's part of what made Slack fun to use.

Intelligent Octopus is open for signups (I believe!) and offers 10p/kWh for some hours overnight and longer for the EV if you let them schedule the charge.

There's also Agile Octopus if you just want cheap off-rate. You might need to sign up to Agile then switch to Intelligent if you can't do Intelligent directly.

Both require a working smart meter.

You'll need to call Octopus in order to switch, their online signups have been suspended (like everyone else). My referral ID is fresh-cub-249 if they'll accept it over the phone, gets us both £50 credit.

None of these strike me as an epidemic, just a note that they're made of copper and stolen like other things made of copper. This doesn't look like a serious, decision-changing issue.

Well, yes. We're in an energy crisis in the UK and the commercial rate for energy was about 75p/kwh at the start of the year. Domestic is lower due to government intervention. The prices have risen accordingly. They should fall when the market allows them to.

At least this article is more honest than most when they point out "using public rapid chargers" - the most expensive way you can - because charging at home is still vastly cheaper than petrol.

Sounds like you've identified your problem with the task - you can't hold the entire state of the problem in your head all at once, but maybe you would have been able to in the past.

This seems like something you can overcome. Have you tried writing these function calls out as a flow on a piece of paper, or in a flow chart, document, something like that? A reference which you draw to be able to tell where you are the stack and where you came from.

It sounds like a very crusty task and I doubt I could maintain that many levels of calls in many different contexts. The important thing is finding a mechanism which works for you.

edit: I'd note that it's possible your development environment is older than your colleagues, too. Many modern ones (VS Code, etc) can jump around a codebase automatically - find callers to a function, jump to where the next function is defined, etc. Maybe check their setup and see if it's worth adopting.

IKEA KALLAX storage bins.

Each loose "group" of tech detritus goes in the same bin. For example, I have an "electronics" bin, a "cables frequently used" bin, "cables infrequently used", "motorcycle gadgets" etc.

If a single item with lots of parts or adapters exists, it goes in a ziplock bag, in the storage bin. If it doesn't already have its own carry case, or whatever.

The last thing I need is another system to maintain. Storage bins require no maintenence.

These appear to be dual band 802.11n at best unless I missed one. That’s not good enough these days.

This is a great list of the practical caveats - at least a /24, many registrations required, etc.

Have you linked this via Google because cryptopotato.com is banned from HN or something?

And then you have "negotiated speed" vs. "realisable speed" when the bus it sits on is slower. Great fun!

Ah, that magical word, “just”…

Oh sorry. The configuration which tells your CDN what is unique and uncacheable about a given page. If that goes wrong, you end up with situations like this.

Works great until the Vary configuration on your CDN accidentally drops that.

Sounds like caching issues resulting in a leak, not an explicit breach.

The 70% figure is very recent and largely due to Virgin Media doing a massive upgrade. It surprised me too.

The whole article is theoretical in nature (and light in substance). This is probably just who the author wanted to sign up for, then they discovered the common caveat of all VPN providers.

To be fair to them, this is configuration data, not a piece of a website you would read in a browser. I don’t agree with the policy but it is reasonably clearly worded.

Annoyingly, the new tab page used to have an exclusion for these "announcements". The flag was removed.

I've ended up installing one of those "inspirational new tab page" extensions, just so I don't see an ad. I am sure that means someone else is siphoning my data.

The attack you describe (somewhat dismissively) is extremely common.

No, and it’s bizarre they still teach it.

I’d like to know the context this information is being shown in. Isn’t hide my email receive only? Who would be seeing this header except the person in control of the alias? Can anyone untrusted see it?

As it stands, this looks like an incoming message which has been assigned a thread ID on your domain for _your_ reference, rather than any information going outward

It's having a moment.

You appear to have just invented Trusted Stalkers. This is worse, not better.

I realise your comment isn't directly related, but the article directly states "showing a black image" is not an acceptable solution (it wouldn't save any power). I'd like to see your idea done for backlight/brightness control though!

Refusing to interact with an existing security process (HackerOne) and demanding a personal contact instead for a minor issue is certainly an interesting take.
