- Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds 3 hours ago:
Pretty clickbait title to compare a lab speed to average internet. I’m sure it’s several million times faster than average Japanese internet too.
- Comment on Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks 10 hours ago:
Most of the stuff people print, is crap that will go in the garbage in a week. I get it, I went through that phase when I got my printer too.
If you learn how to design your own stuff, suddenly it becomes a really useful tool.
- Comment on tchncs.de is powered by donations 2 days ago:
cosocial.ca/about does this for their mastodon, it’s an interest concept and one I think worth considering.
- Comment on phone stand in PETG with drooping overhangs 1 week ago:
I’d print it on the side, will make it stronger anyways. Less likely to lose layer adhesion

- Comment on I found a container filled with lolipops that I didn't touch for years. It smelled like hand sanitizer and the bottom of the container had this thick clear goo. WTF is it? 2 weeks ago:
Probably fermenting sugars turning into alcohol.
- Comment on Monitoring network devices 3 weeks ago:
Observium is an easy starting point for network gear, without going down the Zabbix rabbit hole.
Personally I just roll Victoriametrics and Grafana.
- Comment on Be aware that buying electrical items from Ali Express might not be too clever. 4 weeks ago:
Oddly this doesn’t deter me at all, but I don’t buy mains connected components off aliexpress.
- Comment on Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1% 4 weeks ago:
That’s called plastic surgery, rather than cosmetic. Cosmetic is specifically to improve your appearance. Plastics include a lot of reconstructive work.

Subspace, also known as Continuum later in its life.

Oh man I thought that was the needle, not a toothpick. Suddenly this makes sense.
The toothpick is to provide spacing for the button, then you pull it out as you wrap the thread around underneath it.

Flying into a thunderstorm isn’t forbidden, it’s just not a good idea and generally avoided. Planes are designed to take a lightning strike without issue, I’ve been on a plane that was struck.
- Comment on How do we avoid the next airport disaster like Newark? An expert says 6G could be the solution 2 months ago:
Wireless is not the answer. Multiple redundant fiber paths are. This isn’t rocket science.
- Comment on WTF why my filament exploded? 2 months ago:
Was it left open + maybe in a humid area? Brittle usually means wet filament.
- Comment on Ideal Business Stack? 2 months ago:
You could do something like nextcloud to solve a lot of issues, but I’d still hesitate to recommend on-prem hardware and managing hardware yourself. It really comes down to the business tolerance for outages though, maybe the computers being down for a day or two doesn’t matter.
- Comment on Ideal Business Stack? 2 months ago:
Are you providing a support contract long term? Are you backed by multiple people in case you’re away and their business is down?
I’d strongly suggest deferring to a local business IT services company, unless you’re an active partner in the business. They should find a company they are comfortable with and trust, then use the products they recommend and are comfortable with.
- Comment on The fastest bicycle in history is the stationary bike on the ISS. 2 months ago:
The iss speed is relative to earth. The earth speed is probably relative to the sun. There’s no common frame of reference between the two numbers.
- Comment on I don’t know what to do with this coworker. 3 months ago:
Escalate to your manager. She’s not performing her duties, and if she’s not capable anymore then her duties need to reflect that.

Tldr: we like money. We think people will pay for it, so we’re charging.
- Comment on Attorney General Bonta Urgently Issues Consumer Alert for 23andMe Customers 3 months ago:
No lawyer / accountant is going to sign off on that. It would get flagged as fraud during due diligence and lower the price due to the risks of lawsuits and fines

Yes, it’s not worth them fucking around with various pii / gdpr fines. As someone who has worked with pii, we always took deletion requests seriously.

Well I’m glad I downloaded all my genome data and deleted it a few months ago. It was easy to do, there’s no way excuse not to.

Salt water.
