I'm a Baltimore expat living in Upstate New York. I’ve previously worked in higher ed student affairs roles. I’m still in higher ed, helping lead the tea...
Kagi is a great product and I’m happy to be a customer. If you are not familiar, it’s first-and-foremost a paid web search service, though they have expanded to offer a few other useful things. I bought a year of Kagi’s ultimate plan back in February after kicking the tires with a trial of search. Having a trial quota made it tricky for me to use at first - when should I use one of my limited…
I search this every so often to see if it’s changed, and it finally has! https://community.ui.com/releases/UniFi-Network-Application-10-0-156/67344cb3-8f12-47bc-8796-20de6857c7b2 Now I can assign stable IPv6 addresses in DNS for stuff I host at home. 🎉
(https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/why-does-america-feel-worse-than)[Why does America feel worse than other countries? Crime.] In other words, while car-centric suburbanization is partially about people wanting lots of cheap land and big houses and peace and quiet, part of it is a defense-in-depth against America’s persistently high crime rates. This is a data-backed post that does a much better job…
A recent head-scratcher: my team is starting to block the use of RC4 in Kerberos. We released this change to our first batch of production servers recently. A couple of old SQL servers stopped accepting connections after their patching restarts once the setting got applied. I saw stuff like this in the logs: Network error code 0x2746 occurred while establishing a connection; the connection has…
Threads Director Mick Jackson Has One Worry About The Upcoming Remake “Hope” shouldn’t be in your vocabulary if you are remaking Threads.
Most folks in my social circles have known about Informed Delivery for years. I recently discovered that USPS added a feature, apparently with little fanfare, where they will send a follow-up email after your mail actually gets delivered each day. This is a huge help for me in colder months. No more "hope it's been delivered" trips out to the mailbox in the snow...
I picked up the MGS3 remake on-sale recently and kicked the tires. The content warning on startup - something to the effect of "this game is a product of its time and might offend you" - was funny to see. I'm not a fan of this sort of thing in a general sense; the context of a Metal Gear title makes it especially ridiculous. I'm curious if this was a region-dependent thing, or if Konami put it…
I’ve started experimenting with OpenClaw a couple of times, but I keep running up against the fact that I’m not willing to give it keys to anything important. If the risk associated with doing anything useful is too high, what’s the point?
Just a test.
