I would like to see additional windows spawned after a certain point for a true 'brickception' experience.

> We moved, and it's not feasible to run ethernet everywhere in our current home. However, whoever built the home ran coax to nearly every room in the house - it's a bit ridiculous
How old is the house? If its more than 20ish years old running coax everywhere was a great choice. That would be before CAT5e cable so if they had went with ethernet cable instead of coax you'd be looking at 100 Mb/s. If it was built before 1995 you'd be looking at CAT4 and under 20 Mb/s.
I've got an ethernet cable running between the two rooms that are farthest apart in my house, but it is kind of ugly. I just screwed in cup hooks or nailed in nails at an angle on the walls up near the ceiling and draped the cable over them.
The right way would be to run it through the crawlspace or attic. I don't want to crawl around in the crawlspace, and my attic is the kind that if you aren't very careful you can put a foot through the ceiling of the room below, and has a bunch of blown in insulation that would probably make it even harder to get around so I don't want to try that.
I've wondered if I could run cable through the attic without actually going into the attic. Open the top of a wall below and drill up into the attic. Attach the cable to a pole and use that to push it up into the attic several feet, with the end of the cable tied into a loop.
Then send a drone into the attic, fly it to the pole, hook the loop, detach the cable from the pole, and fly the end of the cable over to the attic access hatch.
Then do the same with a cable at the other end. Splice the two ends together.
Is that reasonable feasible or is it just crazy?
IMO sounds crazy. Can't you just step on the wooden frame instead of the space between them?

Great story. I knew a bit about Rails beforehand but it's really nice to see the people involved with its growth.
It's hard to find a calculator/data source that takes dividends into account, but it looks like if you bought an S&P500 index fund in May 2022 you'd be up around 18% depending on which day you purchased. So not very dramatic IMO
2% advantage is huge.

Since FreeBSD is on the front page today, I thought this is a good time to learn from the collective wisdom of this community. 5 simple questions to those who use FreeBSD to stir up a conversation.
1. Where do you use FreeBSD? On your laptop? Remote servers? Routers?
2. Why do you use FreeBSD instead of Linux?
3. Why do you use FreeBSD instead of OpenBSD or another *BSD?
4. Do you find something lacking in FreeBSD? Is there something that is good in another OS that you'd like to see in FreeBSD?
5. What is that one thing about FreeBSD that you would hate to lose if you were forced to use another OS?
2. ZFS, jails, stability (although the root reason at the time was "because people smarter than I recommended it"). In hindsight I can see how running some services works better on this system.
I can sympathize with the general notion that more encryption is better, even if I wouldn't go to the extreme of declaring it a duty. But the author just completely lost me at:
> We should all use PGP, SSL or equivalent tools; VPNs, Tor and/or SSH tunnelling; IPFS, or other distributed file systems — and ditch proprietary OS's in favour of Linux or truly free Android distros... Those tools and techniques should cease to be arcane nice-to-haves for nerds: we must get more non-technical people onboard.
This is so unrealistic and impractical as a moral "duty" for "all", it undercuts my ability to take the rest of the piece seriously. It's not any kind of seriously considered ethical analysis, weighing the pros and cons of what's actually best or most effective in the real world -- it's a pipe dream.
If you instantly switched over the average person and took away their Windows/Mac, they would be lost and would constantly get bit by the cons of those technologies. Ever had to teach someone something simple in Excel? Imagine how teaching them SSH would go.
However, that doesn't mean it can't be a gradual process that takes years or generations even.

I had a jr dev connect and typed 'flushall' because he thought it would refresh the dataset to disk.
thankfully it was on a staging env, I think he's at google now.
if only my immaculate record of never "rm -rf"ing myself or prod dbs resulted in me working at google...
