t3f··on Discord ends deal talks with Microsoft
I know it's been a few hours, but if you see this, look at the Discord PTB and Canary builds. I run all three (std) so I can keep a number of prime channels open. Hope that helps.
t3f··on NextDNS first to block ALL third-party trackers disguised as first-party
If it is true it would buy ad servers greater obfuscation since blockers were relying on CNAME metadata to differentiate between safe and unsafe targets. If more reverse lookup and secondary metadata and vhost dereferencing is required it will complicate performant ad stripping at a minimum.

t3f··on Water found on a potentially life-friendly alien planet
I would recommend reading Noumenon by Marina J. Lostetter if you'd like to scratch that theoretical itch playing out one specific way.
t3f··on You Can Now Tell Facebook to Delete Its Internal Record of Your Face
>When you opt out of facial recognition on Facebook, the company will delete your template, meaning it will have no original reference point for your face and therefore cannot find your face at all.

The details are pretty sparse. It would be nice if they clarified how they manage black-listing your template ID somewhere but still disconnect it from your profile. If you opt-ed back in at some point, they need to know to remove you from that black-list, which might imply there's still some sort of connection from your profile to a template ID or maybe the generic template still exists but they're disallowed to associate it to a profile and it's in some shadow table?

t3f··on Google: Security Keys Neutralized Employee Phishing
Only if your looking for a USB-C to USB-A hub. There is a surprising lack of good USB-C multi-port hubs, let alone any that support USB PD on anything but the upstream port. You're just now starting to see any that even have generic pass-through of PD.
t3f··on Fedora CoreOS, Red Hat CoreOS, and the future of Container Linux
I think the title needs to be fixed, it's a tad sensationalist. The Google Groups message is just "Container Linux project update" and is dated May 18th. Since then, there has been more clarification [0], [1], [2], that really calls out a rationalization of the RH roadmap and where CoreOS fits. It might be fair to say that RH doesnt plan to support "CoreOS Container Linux" in exactly the fashion prior to acquisition, but it would be disingenuous to imply it is being wholly discontinued.

t3f··on Was Cleopatra Beautiful? (1997)
I really meant if the OP had listened to the Podcast and sought out more information.

Additionally, the article can't completely be from 1997, as it references 2010 and 2013 sources.

t3f··on Was Cleopatra Beautiful? (1997)
This was a recent topic [0] on the "Our Fake History" podcast [1] too. Worth a listen if you're looking for something new.

Wonder if that inspired the OP?

t3f··on Cupholders Are Everywhere
FWIW, I love my BottlePro2 [0] for my Nalgene's, I have a few of them and they fit into my glove box when I need to pull them out.

t3f··on Hawaii missile alert standdown delayed by forgotten log-in
At least it wasn't due to a Expired SAML Certificate?
t3f··on The screen that set off the ballistic missile alert on Saturday
>In the mean time you can ponder if you need to announce a tsunami.

I would suggest that recent history [1] has shown we can have a 30m-2h warning, and that isn't good enough.

t3f··on A Pre-History of Slashdot
@mercer - There a PR or Fork for that?
t3f··on The FCC.gov Website Lets You Upload Malware Using Its Own Public API Key
And how far removed is the sub-team that manages this specific content posting part of the web content from the DNS team/process/red-tape to even make the inquiry about how to?
t3f··on The End of Arduino 101: Intel Leaves Maker Market
Many metro areas have a handful of them, for example in Austin (in no particular order):

* http://www.austinelectronicdesign.com/

* http://www.technologykitchen.com/

* http://www.m3design.com

* http://www.concurrentdesign.com/

* http://www.produktworksdesign.com/

They all have their own specialties and pros/cons, but most of them deal with small startups to help bridge the gaps. As always YMMV so due diligence is required.

t3f··on Show HN: Seashells – Pipe output from CLI apps to the web in real time
I cant test right now, but couldn't you do it with a prefab fd?

  exec 3<>/dev/tcp/seashells.io/1337
  cat <&3
  echo "example" >3

Or something like that?
t3f··on GitHubDocs – Open source SPA built using Markdown docs in your GitHub repo

Going to [0] then redirects me to [1] and single presses of back continuously redirect from [0] to [1].

t3f··on Tagger News takes a subset of HN articles, analyzes using ML, and applies tags
I would agree, for me the bright blue tag with the sharp box really makes it hard to scan the headlines without a ton of concentration ignoring the tags separately.

t3f··on “Restoring Internet Freedom” Notice of Proposed Rulemaking [pdf]

"Sorry, Project Sunroof hasn't reached that address yet."

I like the concept, but it has that Beta(tm) feel to it...

t3f··on Introducing Amazon Wind Farm Texas
Living in Texas, while almost every provider has a free nights plan now most won't give you very aggressive daytime rates that make them worth it compared to other averaging plans (Unless you have on premis solar). Air-conditioning during the day still drives the bulk of residential consumption. I'm waiting on energy storage like zinc-bromide to mature and drop in price or something better to come along.
