"Blartreuse" ow my sides...

They need to have a way to sort by votes, or have a "Best of" or whatever. I was curious (and they provide the data! Thanks!)...so naturally-

  $ curl -sL https://colornames.org/download/colornames.zip | zcat | sort -nk3 -t, | tail -n10

It's been said a million times- FreeBSD is an operating system, Linux is a kernel. ("GNU/Linux" is a strange beast- kernel+libc or what?). It's a tough direct comparison to make especially when you consider things like documentation (which FreeBSD is often cited as being exceptional)

Way cooler pics on the official website-

I wonder if the green traffic lights will make you more susceptible to getting creamed by a self-driving car.

Pretty meta. I wonder how this article will contribute to it.

There is an Anton 2 (no wikipedia article unfortunately)-

It's almost beside the point. Enterprises want to pay someone for support (and, more importantly, someone to blame when things go wrong) rather than (rightfully) attempt to put something together with duct tape and bailing wire.

I think it's less about openvpn and more about having the protocol integrated with existing enterprise products/infrastructure/paradigms.

This reminded me of a mythbusters from years ago where they defeat a door lock fingerprint scanner. Found this (more relevant) video of touchid being defeated by fake fingerprints (2014) while trying to find it-

The tildeverse has some words for you

tldr-

November 2017: added TURN abuse to our stunner toolset

December 2017: discovered and reported TURN vulnerability in private customer of Enable Security

February 2018: briefly tested Slack and discovered the vulnerability

April 2018: submitted our report to Slack, helped them reproduce and address the issue through various rounds of testing

May 2018: Slack pushed patch to live servers which was retested by Enable Security

January 2020: asked to publish report

February 2020: disclosure delayed by HackerOne/Slack

March 2020: report published

Had a shower thought today for a video conferencing dating app, to meet people and have virtual dates with activities (like chess? or watching synchronized youtube together? i don't know, what do people do for fun?).

Off-topic: I am in love with the term in silico - first time seeing it anywhere

Came to point out this site- tons of great ideas there

This is gold

>> My nightmare scenario is that the Web grows into a rich application platform in an operating system-neutral way, and then a company like Siemens or Matsushita comes out with a $500 “WebMachine” that attaches to a TV. This WebMachine will let the customer do all the cool Internet stuff, plus manage home finances (all the storage is at the server side), and play games. When faced with the choice between a $500 box (RISC CPU, 4-8Mb RAM, no hard disk, …) and a $2KPentium/P6 Windows machine, the 2/3rds of homes that don’t have a PC may find the $500 machine pretty attractive!

I feel like this applies to "influencers"

Someone like Intelsat? (You don't generally rent a whole satellite. You pay by the second for tiny pieces of the spectrum.)

Running your own flock is far from the norm. The target is likely the media/broadcast industry.

FYI - these charts are more than likely updated by hand, by a person, with a bunch of deliberation and very high level approval (your actual SLA is probably based off of this person's call). At least that's how it was at another FAANG.

I'd hope people wouldn't be using a setup like this for any other reason than learning k8s or tinkering/fun.

edit-before-actually-posting (sorry I'm a bad person for typing a reply before clicking the link): Wait, they're selling these things? Ok, then I'm stumped. What would you do with 8 rpi's that you couldn't do with one?

I have this strange fascination with pneumatic tube systems (I wish we used them for everything). I think we just found a new use case.

The level of detail in this is pretty nice. But I also feel like it's too much- some of the comments here are poking holes in the write-up. Is there a mis-translation from geek-speak to lay-speak (maybe due to the short turnaround)? Is it better to not mention some of these details at all?

I was thinking it was SIGINFO, but this reminded me of the SIGUSR1 trick to get the current status of a running dd process-

  $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null& pid=$!
  $ kill -USR1 $pid; sleep 1; kill $pid
  
  18335302+0 records in 18335302+0 records out 9387674624 bytes (9.4 GB) copied,  34.6279  seconds, 271 MB/s

I think one of the points the author is getting at is that there is a lack of (enterprise-level?) tooling around wireguard at the moment. Something that supports 2fa to connect would be nice, etc.

Fun fact, ctrl-v in bash sets "verbatim insert" mode for the next character, so you can type a ^D "character" by doing "ctrl-v ctrl-d".

Thanks, I was really only looking for a picture of the space lettuce

I think the "beam of light" coming from the blazar is not always facing towards us- meaning it is harder to see when it is not in a particular orientation. "Not within that line of sight" is an awfully confusing way to say that, yah

I've always found Pathas fascinating-

AWS Systems Manager provides a neat solution to do this [0], permission would be managed via IAM.
