Not in the north east, where it’s cloudy as usual.

Same for me - said I’d visited 17 times from 11 IPs, but this was the first time I’d even heard of the service!

If you’re just learning, I’d actually look at using a cloud based provider where you can just spin up a gpu vps for the duration of each experiment.

In short, supply chain issues have made a market for scalpers.

You're probably best off looking for the same model monitor with a broken panel but working driver board.

11th in terms of net PPP (just behind Germany, but ahead of France), and 6th in terms of net median monthly salary (unfortunately there's no PPP on the median chart, not that it'd make much difference given how close GBP and EUR are now).

If it was left unlocked and in poor condition it’s possible someone thought it had simply been abandoned and took it to fix up themselves.

45W 24/7 would work out at about £10.50/month in the UK right now (~$12.60).

My total household usage averages around 4.5KWh/day so adding that 45W 24/7 server would add about 24% to overall load! It would need to be an important little server to justify the increase.

What products does DO offer that Linode doesn’t?

I always thought they seemed pretty much equivalent for both price and features (though Linode did take an age to implement cloud firewalls).

I’ve personally hosted about 30 servers with them for about 15 years, did look at DO a few times but it didn’t seem worthwhile to migrate everything over (and I preferred that Linode were privately owned vs the VC backed DO).

Someone once managed to spend on a card I've never used!

Presumably they got lucky with a Luhn generator and ecommerce that was especially lax in their checks, but it was still pretty concerning!

The first email had a couple of typos in it too, made me a little suspicious as I’d assume Stripe would be using templates for such messages.

If they’ve been add to MATCH (card provider blocklist) they won’t be getting service from any other third parties now.

There’s another typo further down: ‘in roder’

Dell definitely seem to be suffering more than their competitors, with a 37% decline vs 28% average (though Apple will be skewing the figures somewhat with only a 2% decline).

Sounds like Sprocket Masters should really outsource their two sites to a an agency that specialises in maintaining such solutions for SMEs, then they wouldn't need to concern themselves with the nitty gritty of hosting/backups/security/updates etc…

Isn’t that mitigated with TLS session resumption and TLS 1.3’s 0-RTT?

They can but it’s pretty rare for them to do anything about it (and even then it’s normally just a full page div that’s easy to remove with dev tools).

I use nextdns (because I was too lazy to setup pi-hole), which has a simple ui for whitelisting domains as and when I can’t get around one (though usually it’s down to a tracking script breaking a site when it fails to load).

I very rarely remember any of my dreams, I usually just wake up with no memory of even having dreamt.

I often wonder if I'm missing out on any gems like this.

In the UK, there's John Lewis[0], a company that is owned by a trust on behalf of its workers (who are known as partners, not employees).

I'd expect a significant portions to switch once they're paying for their own phone instead of being bankrolled by mum & dad.

The proof is actually in the eating, not the pudding.

I'd be potentially interested in a Newcastle meet-up

> If you can't reasonably afford the loss, insurance can make sense and you should consider AppleCare. If you can (or if you can self-insure across a large install base), you probably shouldn't.

You should also check to make sure you aren't already covered by an existing policy. My home insurance covers accidental damage with only a £100 excess, so AppleCare isn't so useful for me (although I've yet to test it!).

Don’t the next gen satellites require the new Starship for deployment, which is still nowhere near ready for launch (they aim for a first test launch by the end of this year, IIRC)?

If it did leak, why wouldn’t they just revoke and then reissue the valid passports with a new private key?

The same argument could be made about the possibility of a CA’s key being leaked.

IIRC:

Force Touch is something supported by 2015+ MacBook trackpads (you can push harder to effectively middle-click something) and 3D Touch was the iPhone screen tech that did the same thing, which has been replaced with Haptic Touch (equivalent to Android's "long press").

Yes, sorry I didn't mean to imply that Linode were lying about the cause!

I look forward to their full postmortem about the issue (they promised that after the first outage, but the second happened before they'd published anything).

This new outage has occurred almost exactly 24hrs after the first one - is there some automated process tripping everything?

The incident states that it's a power issue (like they said last night), but none of my servers were rebooted last night, so it's clearly something affecting the network level, and it seems to be affecting all servers.

Apparently it's a power issue

In the UK, most offices, shops, cars, and (intercity) public transport already have AC but it just doesn't get hot enough for long enough to justify installing it most homes.

Portable AC units are relatively new to the market, but I can see them becoming more popular in the coming years.
