Just out of curiosity, if HN is still running on one physical system, what does a daily or weekly traffic chart look like for the switch port facing it?

> Many banks and government websites don’t even support it

Because their web developers are too lazy to write anything to proper standards. They're doing some kind of lazy "Check for Chrome, because everyone must be running that, if not, redirect to an Unsupported page".

I've yet to find a website that "refuses" to work in Firefox which doesn't work just fine when I use a user agent switching extension to present a standard Chrome on MacOS or Chrome on Windows useragent.


Are you sure they're all lazy?

Another pretty common experience for developers is wanting to do things "the right way", but being overridden by management.


Yes, because in this case "the right way" is to do nothing.

I've already seen images on the MLS uploaded by real estate agents that look like this is the same concept as what they've been doing, generally, to bait people into coming and touring houses.

Grace Hopper is the Nvidia product code name for the chip, much like how Intel cpus were named after rivers, etc

It's worth mentioning that the 'culture' you describe is also something that significantly aided and abetted various real estate scams and bubble related activity. Vancouver has all sort of shady shit going on in real estate.


I was hoping for a full text dump of the SMART data from the drives.


If CSPRNG encrypts /dev/urandom, encrypting the data using a binary 256 bit AES cmd to update entropy pool would double contain the data, which is writing /dev/random to /dev/nvme0n1p1.


Everything except independent two way satellite (geostationary VSAT, Oneweb, O3B, Starlink, and Iridium). Which is very costly and rare for regular people to use, and requires a foreign method of USD/CAD/EUR/GBP billing.


What happens if your last name is Cummings and your home address is in Penistone, South Yorkshire, England?

Or perhaps in the quaint fishing town of Dildo, Newfoundland.


Don’t forget about Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, England!



Yes, there's already Ukrainian fpv flown quadcopters which are optimized to intercept, as a munition, common flying wing camera surveillance platforms. I've seen probably 20 or 30 different videos now taken from the view of the quadcopter, with detonator contact wires sticking out the front, diving into the rear of a large Russian flying wing UAV.


> How do improvised bases offer protection, especially in a world where radar on satellites sees through clouds and certain vegetation?

If operating from an airfield that has been improvised out of a straight stretch of highway, the grouping of vehicles that contain all of the necessary ground support equipment and munitions resupply can be disguised to resemble an ordinary civilian cargo box truck, or tractor trailer combo.

Unless the attacking force is willing to begin with the resources needed, and repercussions of airstriking everything that looks like a civilian cargo truck moving in the region, it would be extremely difficult to eliminate the group of vehicle and men that compromise the ground support equipment element. Particularly when you might have multiple groups of such roaming randomly around an area.


The Swedish airforce doesn't have a "grouping of vehicles".

They are all parked individually at separate locations kilometers away from the road landing strip.

When the plane comes in for landing, they (3-5 pickup trucks and a tiny tanker) all scramble and meet up when the plane touches down. Refuel and rearm in 10 minutes, drive away again.

I've seen this done with my own eyes, it's very impressive.
