I went to a Catholic school and had to attend services. I thought that I was just bored, but I'm pretty sure that my yawning had more to do with elevated CO2 levels.

Ah, maybe he shouldn't have shared that. Or at least aimed for something larger than a thumb.

Having everything in RAM might also be better for security, unless you're encrypting the swap partition.

The contents of swap could be read after a power cut.

Absolutely. It's why I find working on a microcontroller with 1KB of memory so much more rewarding than, say, a Raspberry Pi.

Are you really both-sides-ing this?

The odds of a house with a smart thermostat also containing cameras is pretty high, though.

Mine is Z-Wave, the next model up required an internet connection and a subscription if you wanted to access it from remote.

The HVAC guy probably thought that I was nuts for wanting the one that I got, since the price was similar. Six years later and I'm still controlling it from Z-Wave.

Couldn't they get that information by pointing a thermal camera at the house? Most windows and doors would leak enough to show this information.

Or they could watch the air conditioner fans to know if it's on.

Smeg actually makes a toaster. It's expensive, looks cute, and doesn't work that well when compared to a far cheaper toaster oven.

I guess we have to get creative again.

I take it that you don't have children?

I'm almost done with that aspect of my life now, but every school year it feels like there's a new slate of apps, parent communication portals, etc. I need to manage these as well.

It's way more often than twice a year for me. And it's accelerating.

Bitwarden's response [1] is interesting.

"All issues have been addressed by Bitwarden. Seven of which have been resolved or are in active remediation by the Bitwarden team. The remaining three issues have been accepted as intentional design decisions necessary for product functionality."

They don't expand on what those three are.

Does't TLS pinning alleviate the DNS attack?

Every time I add an account, for one. And there's still plenty of (dumb) sites which force me to change my password and sometimes username periodically.

Keeping an offsite database in sync is tedious, especially if it's delivered via sneakernet.

Not exactly. I need to have those offsite, but they are not modified at the same frequency as passwords.

I unfollowed everyone except for a few family members. It really wants to give you the infinite scroll and started showing me some really bizarre stuff. So much AI slop, and random content.

For about a week it kept showing me nursing mothers, no matter how many times I said "I don't want to see this" and blocking. I have no problem with women nursing, but these were done in a way to be sexually provocative.

After that it started showing me AI houses and kitchens, with kitchen taps but no sink basin.

I just gave up at that point.

Yeah, Durov has some interesting takes on things and often not in a good way.

My daughter did this for her boyfriend's grandma, except she used Kinoite. The immutable aspect of it makes it very difficult to break.

She was over there recently and the downloads folder was littered with malware .exe files, so the grandma is trying her hardest to break it.

I thought that this looked familiar. I used it when setting up an ADSB receiver to show the expected "visible" range from my house.

I can assure you that it is not.

Did you struggle with dirty looks at the park?

I wasn't a SAHP but I'd spend time with my kids at a park nearby and people would give me dirty looks for playing with my kids if my wife wasn't present.

This is why "Moms clubs" are a thing. I get that safe spaces are wanted, especially if the mothers needed to nurse, but dads were unwelcome in the chapter near me.

It can. For now, at least.

Allegedly Sony saw the writing on the wall and secured a good amount of GDDR supply for their consoles. Microsoft did not, and has had to raise the price of the Xbox Series X as a result.

I don't think that Microsoft knows what Microsoft is doing.

You're being obtuse.

Their TPS status was abruptly revoked and they were given two months to find another country to reside in or they will be deported to Somalia. Two months! Do you think that you could find another country to reside in and handle all of the legal arrangements within that short of a time frame?

I sincerely hope that you never find yourself in such a situation.

You don't see the disparity over the state department saying "Do not go to Somalia, it is unsafe", yet also saying "The need for TPS has passed, it is safe to return to Somalia" ?

Citizenship is a Federal thing, but our IDs are provided by the State.

You also didn't answer my question about us likely sending Somalis off to their deaths.

The PFAS are underground and will likely be down there indefinitely. I assume that their "racing to fix" bit has more to do with filtration and reducing the PFAS levels to something deemed acceptable.

Given the changes at the EPA recently it would not surprise me if they simply change what is deemed acceptable and claim that the problem has been solved.

> Where I'm from, I am legally required to have proof of ID with me all the time. So basically used to never leaving home without it.

Yes, I too have proof of ID. It does not prove that I am a citizen. I can also tell you that children in the USA do not carry ID.

> No, going back to what you're saying: why is it wrong to deport somebody that came to the US illegally?

If they were brought here as young children, yes, it's wrong -- they're being punished for the actions of their parents.

> And speaking about TPS, you know what the T stands for, right?

Of course. Let's look at Somalia, who recently had their temporary protected status designation revoked. Their home country is currently involved in a civil war, and the US government simultaneously lists Somalia as "Level 4: Do Not Travel". There's a good chance that we're sending these people to their deaths. You are okay with this?

> I wonder if this is helpful? 'You are screwed no matter what you do' is not a good way to motivate people to action. People have heard this all before, and don't trust it. You can only cry wolf so many times with apocolyptic stories.

The water supply in a town near me is permanently contaminated by PFAS after the foam that the fire department used for training ran into the well: https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/investigations/how-officials...
