- Comment on Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke tells employees to prove AI can’t do the job before asking for resources. 6 hours ago:
My company just did the same thing. I wonder if it’s the VC’s dictating that down through the board of directors, or if this is just a viral leadership trend.
- Comment on How to harden against SSH brute-forcing? 2 days ago:
My experience running several ssh servers on uncommon nonstandard ports for over 10 years has been that it has eliminated all ssh brute forcing. I don’t even bother with fail2ban. I probably should though, just in case.
Also, PSA: if you use fail2ban, don’t try tab completing rsync commands without using
controlmasteror you will lock yourself out. - Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 1 week ago:
Can you explain why it’s not possible to stabilize the voltage on the receiving side before the power is sent to the battery?

- Comment on Brazilian court gives Apple 90 days to allow sideloading on iOS 4 weeks ago:
That’s the fast lane to having every company that values their IP exiting Brazil. Apple would roll their certificates and quit signing whatever Brazil was building with and Brazil’s economy would be way worse off for nothing.

- Comment on Self-hosting minecraft 4 weeks ago:
Hosting the server is free. I’m actually not sure about windows because I don’t use that. We actually play on our iPads. We have a family set up. Pay once for the app, everybody gets to install it on their own device.
For free stuff I think people run Java edition? Again, I’ve never done that. There is an itzg Java server container github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

- Comment on I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better 5 weeks ago:
This era was before smartphones and always-online lifestyle. Being always online is a prerequisite to the attention economy.
So, yes, you’re right that the best internet was back then. Back when we could leave it at home and go out into the world knowing everybody else had also left it at home.
Laptops are an obvious exception back then, but almost nobody took their laptop to the bar with them, or to a concert, or on a hike, or to the grocery store. And the trouble of pulling it out and trying to find WiFi meant that it wasn’t easy enough to distract the majority.
- Comment on Researchers surprised to find less-educated areas adopting AI writing tools faster 5 weeks ago:
This does not sound good for those people. Writing is a way of thinking. AI is a competitive cognitive artifact. People who use AI to write most of their written communication will get worse at thinking through writing.

- Comment on You should swap your work or gaming monitor for a pair of AR glasses, and I'm not joking 5 weeks ago:
I’ve really wanted to do this, in large part because of tech neck. I’d love to have a HMD that has focusable optics so I don’t subconsciously strain my neck to look at my screen.
Anybody have recommendations? I’d love a dumb HMD with hdmi or usb-c video input.

Are you suggesting that people who are intermittently connected to the internet instead of tethered to it by a pocket device are somehow more ignorant?

Thankfully I live in the USA where we’re totally safe because we reject science! But don’t you try coming here for safety, we hate everybody else. You’ll probably just be sent to gitmo.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
That person is missing the point that a randomized MAC will often get a different DHCP lease, and the MAC address is used in that, so the IP address will change.
On a trusted Wi-Fi network, disable MAC randomization on your clients, and if possible reserve an IP address for their non-random MAC address. Some devices have a deterministic random per WiFi network, which could also work. In iOS this is WiFi network -> private WiFi address “fixed”. “Rotating” would cause your hole problems.

- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 3 months ago:
The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid “dens of crime” that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.

- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 4 months ago:
How did you like it? I’m like 10 hours in and so far it seems ok, but I’m not seeing the super amazing game that my friends raved about. For instance last night while playing I thought about how Bioshock was much more immersive and gripping, and it came out the same year.
