After their last rug pull when they started charging projects for registry after parading it as a fully free service for almost a decade, it has become hard to trust anything free.

Bait and switch once the adoption happens has become way too common in the industry.

Feels like they're trying to put the cat back in the bag and recoup a fraction of the exodus from the registry thing.

I see this predates Knoppix.

What did Knoppix get right that this got wrong, to the point where Knoppix quickly became synonymous with live-distrubution?

I've used finnix forever as my go to live recovery distro, and have never heard of knoppix.

From a cursory search, it appears that finnix is focused on the command line while knoppix provides a desktop environment. Don't most distros offer live boot environments these days? I know I've done this with Fedora, Debian, Suse, and Alpine at least..

Viruses are to life as LLMs are to reasoning: they often behave like their category expects but not for the same reasons as the genuine article.

..er, a parasitic threat to life and happiness that become an endemic drag on global well being?

For wireless, the prices aren’t much different from products with comparable feature sets/performance. For some niche combinations, they’re the only option that doesn’t force you way upmarket (Meraki, etc.). Most of the money they make is from small business and tiny WISPs, not HN boosters overdoing it on their home WiFi in what must be a bid to get their partner to divorce them.

Their wired stuff is a total scam since Edgerouter fell off, though. The same functionality exists on a $50 netgear managed switch (or wired router, etc.), and the shitty unified configuration interface doesn’t justify the markup at all.

>HN boosters overdoing it on their home WiFi in what must be a bid to get their partner to divorce them..

Au contraire!

I got tired of the refrain "are you messing with the network again?" in the evenings when the neighbors are all streaming Netflix and crowding the airwaves, so I installed several low power UI APs around the house and and popped my own DNS and devices to a separate VLAN.

No more complaints :)

I do wish Unifi offered more configuration in the ad-blocking department, but I'm hesitant to inflict anything but the most vanilla deployment on the remainder of the household..

In what way is this like vibe-coding -- or do you just mean both are bad?

According to the report:

> The aircraft owner who installed the modified fuel system stated that the 3D-printed induction elbow was purchased in the USA at an airshow, and he understood from the vendor that it was printed from CF-ABS (carbon fibre – acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) filament material, with a glass transition temperature3 of 105°C.

Isn't this simply a part that shouldn't have been allowed to be sold based on it being both faulty and also misleading?

In the sense that production costs have undercut evaluation costs permitting a cadre of un(der)-qualified entrants to the space.

Not a new story in the progression of human endeavors; see the printing press, perspective painting, digital photography, residential construction.

You may find some insight into his methods and motives in the biography 'Issac Newton' by James Gleick. It's a wonderful and quick read.

Except that people around the world generally don't want to go to prison, so why do americans have more high speed chases?

(assuming they do in fact have more per capita/car...)

seemaze · a month ago
Lots of high capacity vehicular infra in LA.. I imagine most places just have ‘chases’.
