In case anyone reading this didn’t know: direct sunlight can cause your VR headset lenses to act like a magnifying glass, burning your precious LCD in a moment, if the light hits it right.

Why can’t it?

Why?

That used to be what Microsoft (Internet Explorer) was famous for. I guess Chrome has lived long enough to be the villain, but Firefox is still the hero to me.

I mean… the official Reddit app was so bad that they had to charge for API access in order to get real market share.

M CPUs make me a believer in ARM and other non-x86 chips, but preferably RISC-V in the long term.

Keyboard is critical to me. I can work on a MacBook keyboard short term but something like a Glove80 or at least an Ergodox is critical for me in the long term.

Also OS X Unix is nix enough for me.

Kitboga has some videos where he integrates Neal’s password game into a fake bank password reset UI, and gets the scammers to play the game. It’s one of the GOAT scambait videos.

I’d love to see the state of online banking if everyone were to manage their own ssh keys

Most people couldn’t figure out how to download a binary release from a GitHub repo, much less clone it, regardless of HTTP or SSH.

SSH keys are more like passkeys than passwords.

I think this post is about git CLI, not www.github.com.

SSH keys are very secure and you can still encrypt them with a password if you wish.

Atomicity: either all parts of the transaction complete, or all parts of the transaction don’t complete; there’s no “partly complete” state

Consistency: the state of the database after a transaction is stable; all “downstream” effects (e.g. triggers) of the query are complete before the transaction is confirmed.

Isolation: concurrent transactions behave the same as sequential transactions

Durability: a power failure or crash won’t lose any transactions

Traditionally, ACID is where relational databases shine.

Wow, I’d love to Kyll myself on a hot, summer’s day!

I guess not too different from pr0n, h4x, etc. Maybe a tale as old as time?

A /8 subnet is basically everything after the first of the four segments, e.g. 127.*.*.*. marine_mustang was saying that loopback (what you think of as only 127.0.0.1) is actually an entire subnet, so any address that starts with 127 will hit the loopback interface. TIL, never thought about it much before.

A highly respected school teacher of mine was known to say, “Say what you mean; mean what you say.”
