see the url, dysonaward ... so probably the site/judges asking/interviewing the inventor of this product.

Except that for 99% of my passwords, I am 100% sure I do not, and never will, know them, they are 60-100+ bytes of random data, only known by my passwordmanager. The only thing I know, is the passphrase for my passwordmanager. TOTP codes are also stored in there, but I see it more as a replay-protection for captured passwords, though this is also really a non-issue in this time of almost no plaintext protocols.

Amazon has usb scsi adapters, I dont use apple devices, but i'd guess that would work. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=usb+scsi+adapter&ia=web

I find it more weird that they don't use encrypted storage, then you don't nee to bother with zeroing drives. You only need to 'forget' the key.

I feel your pain, looking at 'The Netherlands', 'Netherlands/Nederland', Holland, and even once 'Kingdom of The Netherlands'

Technically, Big Ben is the bell, not the clock, from the article as well:

> A common misconception is referring to the entire tower as Big Ben, when in fact, that's just the name of the bell. Andrew clarified: "So it's The Great Clock inside the Elizabeth Tower that rings Big Ben."

Don't know if/how this works in the US, but the EU emergency number can always be called without a simcard/subscription, so no need to swap simcards. (And sometimes even from a locked phone)

In many EU countries you can walk into many a supermarket or phone-store and just buy a simcard with cash without questions asked.

Top on linux shows kernel threads (all the processes in square brackets), on BSD it doesn't show these afaik. A fresh debian install only lists a handfull of processes (all the expected ones, ssh, systemd, ntp, gettys etc) besides the 200+ kernel-threads.

There is also ZeroSSL, buypass until recently (though they stopped this month), SSL.com Google, Actalis and others

As someone who logs into hundreds of servers in various networks, from various customers/clients, there is so little value in using custom tooling, as they will not be available on 90% of the systems.

I have a very limited set of additional tools I tend to install on systems, and they are in my default ansible-config, so will end up on systems quickly, but I try to keep this list short and sweet.

95% of the systems I manage are debian or ubuntu, so they will use mostly the same baseline, and I then add stuff like ack, etckeeper, vim, pv, dstat.

The reduction in warranty from 5 years to 1 when buying these doesn't weigh up to the quite limited reduction in price. This would only cover failures during the first few months of runtime, and while most drive-failures will be in the beginning, or after 5+ years, i've seen enough drives die in year 2-5 to prefer some warranty cover, especially on the $200 drives.

And the reward for a job badly done... is less work.

I've setup a few podman machines (on debian), and generally liked it. I've been struggling for 2 days now to get a k8s server up, but that's not giving my any joy. (It doesn't like our nftables setup)

Most banks here (nl) give you a dumb coincell battery powered code-calculator, either with or without smartcard access to your banking-card. Basically some form of TOTP or challenge-response system.

Those devices have no network, no connectity, no gps, and no interface besides a tiny 7-segment lcd display and some 0-9 buttons for pincode entry.

I'm not paying for 64TB of NVME... 4x16TB HDD's and 2 2TB NVME's for caching are more then enough ;)

The only NAS (or other appliance boxes) I will tolerate are just plain 'generic' PC's with a regular Linux distro on them (Debian in my preferred case).

It's also _by_far_ the cheapest, and most git-work can be done offline, so while it's inconvenient, it's not stopping all operations here.

Just completed one or our (quarterly) github exports before this hit... If people are looking into extracting everything from their organisations, i've published the scripts I use: https://github.com/sigio/github-export

https://forgejo.org/ or https://codeberg.org/

Can confirm, also have 2 IODD devices for this purpose, though I usually grab my (simplest) USB stick that has netboot.xyz flashed to it, and just boot off that, and select whatever netboot image I want and have it get everything from the interwebs. No need to ever update this workflow.

Well... then it's always been possible, if you use LVM and create a snapshot before upgrading, then you can revert your snapshot in case it breaks.

But this isn't something that would be 'out of the box'... but that's why we make backups, but I can't remember an dist-upgrade ever significantly bricking my systems.

I never want to use hibernation, since then I have to re-enter my disk encryption passphrase at resume time, have to wait longer for both suspend and resume because it needs to sync upto 48GB to/from disk (and I don't want to waste 48GB of diskspace for swapspace/hibernation). Suspend to ram is fine, I can keep the system suspended for a couple of days without issues, but it only needs to survive a long weekend at most. Resume from RAM is about instant, and then just needs a screensaver unlock to get back to work.

Yup.. use this default on all my systems. Did a bookworm->trixie upgrade today on my mailserver, and everything worked, as it still just has eth0 ;)

(Edit: I think the story below was for the original Playstation, with it's action-replay expansion port module. Should still have it somewhere in storage )

I also remember it having a serial or parallel port (at least the european Action Replay did), which you could hook upto a PC and with some debugging-software, do things like runtime memory manipulation, breakpoints and other nice debugging tools.

I think you could even run your own (small) binaries by sending them to the cartridge/addon, but this was ~20+ years ago, so the details lack me.

On desktop you can at least change it at runtime (like auto-dubbing), but on mobile they have made this completely impossible. I keep running into (originally) german video's that have been auto-translated to english for me, which I really dislike, since I can perfectly understand german. There's no way to disable this and just get subs only (which can be toggled on/off)

I've been using this a lot (when testing), but I wish firefox/mozilla had something equivalent, because with HSTS domains, it's hard to bypass cert issues in firefox.

Won't work for most cars in cities, as they will be parked in indoor/underground garages, so no solar to speak of for their parking time, and the bit of solar you get while driving will maybe power the lights/electronics/audio system at most.

(Driving a full EV, but needing to charge 30+kwh/week, and my small (but larger than a car could fit) home-solar only provides max 20kwh/week in spring/summer.

Can recommend both, but add netcup and layer7.net to those.

I'm guessing the '*arr' suite of collection-management tools
