ctrlrsf··on Controversial New Milk Shakes Up Big Dairy

ctrlrsf··on Apple Maps vs. Google Maps vs. Waze
Waze always has the latest accident and traffic reports. There are three main routes to my job. I always open it up in the morning and check travel times for each one (just press Routes button instead of Go). I have my preferred route, which is always fastest and shortest, but if Waze ever suggests one of the other two, I know I should listen. When I look into it, it’s usually some major accident or something affecting a lane of travel. The few times I ignored it I deeply regretted it. Makes the difference between a 60 minute commute vs a 90 min commute on a bad day.

ctrlrsf··on Mailit: A Tiny Drop-In REST API to Send Emails
Spam malware can scan IPs to find open SMTP ports to send spam so some ISPs and hosting providers lock down these ports to avoid getting their IPs blacklisted when a compromised host starts sending a bunch of spam through an open relay. I can see this being used to send email out from some restricted hosting providers.

  set -o errexit
  set -o nounset
  set -o pipefail
ctrlrsf··on Anthony Bourdain on not having debt
They also bank of the fact that you will use your plastic for more frivolous purchases since it's so convenient. Plus you think you're getting some cash back reward later, so you don't feel so bad about it. If you had to pay cash, you might not be wasting as much money.
ctrlrsf··on Summary of the Amazon S3 Service Disruption
