Sorry everyone, I bought donuts for my kids and a coffee for myself this morning and completely forgot about #EconomicBlackout today.

Wish we could leave Notepad, of all things, unscathed by AI "features". I'll accept it in MSPaint, though. To use the AI features, you need to sign into your Microsoft account. One interesting thought here; is Microsoft positioning Notepad for synchronization, in a similar way to Apple's Notes App?

So http/1.1 performs better than http/2 in apache2 mod_ssl, using keepalives. By 300mbps tx and rx, how I measured anyway. I think we knew this already?

Imagine Deep Research, but with the credentials of journal paywall subscriptions to add even more source capabilities. I think this is doable. Kinda possible with Operator right now in a hackish way. Would be cool to give it Bitwarden master and let it go do its thing also.

Back in 2018 when they took out "honesty" from core values, it got internet/media coverage. Wild.

It's interesting what they've not deleted that include the banned words. Many pages are now gone, especially DEI related, but they've missed a lot too.

The Core Values page of the NSA.gov site ended up getting deleted (January 24th). The only word I could find that was banned was "diverse" on the Wayback machine for the page. They forgot to remove the link to Core Values from the Site Policies page in the footer.

I'm aware of the SSLVPN authentication vulnerability, which this device is patched against, but I'm wondering if this is a new feature of the patch - or if I'm just losing my mind. Probably the latter... maybe.

Why would SSLVPN Inactivity Time set the expiry for TCP packets that hit the SSLVPN port? Esp unauthenticated session? This is causing a resource exhaustion on a SonicWall TZ500 I am looking at where it takes a coule hours for connections to hit 125k and have to clear conn manually.

I'm really finding the Hugo content adapters fun to play with. I've converted a Python implementation I used for scraping a website's JSON and generating a static HTML file, into a Hugo content adapter and it is fast. 70.5sec vs 42ms

Machines are not efficient, processes are.

Generative AI doesn't "know".

I saw a JCS video notification yesterday on YouTube and couldn't figure out why I couldn't find it tonight. Then I saw that it was AI voice and got to hear a bit of the video they pulled or made private... And now I understand why people are upset. I was so excited too. :(

How many times in life do we change what our favorite Christmas movie is? For the past 30 years, mine has been It’s a Wonderful Life, but now my new favorite is Die Hard.

Korzybski walks into a bar, corrects the bartender: "I didn't walk; I ambulated", and spends 20 minutes debating whether "happy hour" was an accurate time descriptor.

When I do finally find something and select it, I have to upgrade in order to watch it because I'm on the cheap plan. So back to the drawing board. 😩

Does Caturday exist here? Here's one I took of shelter cat.

Agreed and wow I didn't realize season 2 was here, or that there will be a season 3. I remember watching it last year and hoping for more. 😲

Hmm our robot vacuum has a webserver on it. Seems useful.

I'm a fan of minimalism, and solid fits the bill for me. Phone, PC, Roku, fridge, whatever it is hah.

I change to a solid color, I hope I'm safe lol

I'm not sure who that person is, but they seem pretty unliked on this platform.

What's the preference on threaded view for replies? I like it here, but not in email. One thing I'd like is a way to collapse all to start, or at least collapse each nested reply as I go. I guess similar to how HackerNews implements it.

I just submitted my paper on Quantum Machine Learning for Multi-Dimensional Optimization in High-Dimensional Quantum Systems to my 11 year old for peer review. 🤞

365, read the blog haha. 😎

Hi, I have yet to read the blog post you shared a bit down in the thread which might hold the answer, but do you use 365 or 395 or something else for light?

I can't imagine. Could you share one of your favorites?

I skim NPR news on their site a few times per month and catch local evening news sometimes to see what's going on locally.

Yes good idea!

Predicting the scenes/outcomes of Hallmark movies was a gateway drug to Crime TV and probably why I'm solving cases before the first commercial break these days. I do still revisit my original mentor for about a month once per year for a skills refresher.
