Awesome! Thanks so much for doing this and sharing!

Are your clients using port 8444 for https? 443 is the standard

That was a hilarious read. Thanks for posting! I had to learn/use prolog for a class in college and in the ~10 years since then, this is the first time I’ve ever seen mention of it in the wild. I lost it at Chad’s flustered assertion that “…nobody knows prolog!”

Ugh, same exact boat here. Thankfully my partner jumps on the grenade and browses the local FB content and then relays the important/interesting info to me, though :)

Been following this for a while! I’m getting one!

Lmk if you find out. Maybe something with… lasers?

Why not leave it open? Haha, I’m just finding this thread a month later and would like a shirt…

The “joke” is that it’s an issue that people feel compelled to comment on, but the sleeping person can’t. Predictably, most people are blowing straight past this and commenting their opinions, but most of the other replies are joking or whimsical. Yours is straightforward no-nonsense. If I had to guess, I’d say that’s why you’re being singled out.

Is fondant a cake?

Hell yeah now Linux and I both will panic in style

Something that has worked well for me: creating a Charles Schwab account and setting it up to automatically transfer x dollars from my regular checking to their account. Once that was setup, I configured it to automatically buy 0.9x dollars worth of their Schwab index funds every month. It has performed well through thick and thin since I set this all up a few years ago.

The remaining 0.1x I leave in there as a buffer/short term savings. I don’t have a convenient way to access that money (debit card, checking, etc.), so it’s a good rainy day fund that I can transfer to my regular bank account if I need it.

Note to future self: suggest this for consideration at book club

Yeah, what the hell? I didn’t watch the video but one time use pads are crypto 101 first day of class kinda thing.

Here’s what you do: go to the store and buy 3-5 dandruff shampoos with different active ingredients and cycle between them every time you wash your hair and face (don’t shy away from smearing the shampoo on your face as well). Also, leave it on there a few minutes before rinsing.

Also vitamin D oil is great for face and beard.

This shampoo is great to add into the rotation. The same company makes a face cream that is super good, too.

More or less, yes, but they only work in specific, emulated test environments unless you play Apple’s game and get them verified and signed and eventually in the App Store. The latest EU/GDPR stuff might change this a bit, though.

LEDs are the result of electricity passing through very specific chemical crystal configurations and the first two (red and green) were relatively obvious to find, but creating blue was an extreme undertaking. Lots of big companies tried for years to get it right, but eventually a rogue Japanese scientist, ignoring the commands of his bosses, toiled day and night pursuing configurations of elements long declared to be dead-ends, using his own custom crystal baking machine, cracked the code and figured out a way of doing it in a commercially viable way.

Of course, as is expected in these stories, the company tried to give him $175 and a $60k salary for his efforts, but in a pleasant surprise he sued for 8mill and now has hundreds of patents and is pursuing nuclear power as his next goal

Putin would never ban X in Russia, are you crazy?

“Hmm yes, banning my best propaganda tool. This is the move.” - Not Putin

All depends on what you collect, how it’s stored, how transparent you are about it, and how easy it is to opt out of. It can definitely be done well.
