I’m looking for World of Darkness books, the backup of the trove on reddit is missing a lot of the books so I’m wondering if anyone knows where I can find something more complete?
I recently set up and started using MediaTracker for this purpose. It’s kind of barebones, but functional. Seems like its biggest difference with movary is that it also covers TV, ebooks, audiobooks, and games.
I have a little section for movies and books on my website and i’ve been working on a script to automatically pull those lists and reviews from MediaTrackers api each time I build my site.
I read an article about ransomware affecting the public transportation service in Kansas, and I wanted to ask how this can happen. Wikipedia says these are “are typically carried out using a Trojan, entering a system through, for example, a malicious attachment, embedded link in a phishing email, or a vulnerability in a...
Stay suspicious. As a security guy, i’d way rather respond to 1,000 false positive reports than have an employee that doesn’t think about it and just clicks.
It is a great step but it’s rare to have enough buy in from upper managent to enforce any real consequences for repeat offenders. I’ve seen good initial results from this kind of phishing testing, but the repeat offenders never seem to change their habits and your click rate quickly plateaus.

Thanks! This is actually exactly what I have been basing my efforts on so far, it’s just sobering to look at how far away we are from completing implementation group 1.

I swear by ddrescue. It’s a situation I strive to never be but i’ve been there before. I used it once to rescue an employees masters capstone project from their dead work laptop.

The shuttle SRB’s were really only reusable in the same sense that the engine from a wrecked car can be removed, stripped to a bare block, bored out, rebuilt, and placed into a new car is reusable. Hard to say exactly how long it took to turn around SRB segments, but just the rail transport between Utah and Florida was 12 days each way. SpaceX has turned around Falcon 9 boosters in under a month.
And even with all of that, the most reused reusable segments barely flew a dozen times. There is one Falcon 9 first stage that has now flown 18 times.
You’re not wrong about parts having been reused in the past but the scale of what has been done before really doesn’t compare to what SpaceX does now.
I cant argue with someones’ nan’s facebook feed telling them outright lies, but there is a hell of alot of misinformation being peddled - and not just from anti-EV people. Some very pro-EV people also talk total shit. If you havnt considered it, why not?
Three things for me. One, I have no practical way of charging one at home. Two, they’re mostly outside my price range. Three, I have doubts about maintainability of the used ones in my price range.
I’ve owned 3 cars in the last six years, two of which I still have. All have been between 9 and 26 years old and cost between $2300 and $7000. Last time I looked around my area, there were only a few electric cars in that price range mostly 2012-2014ish Leafs and electric Focuses. I know the battery packs degrade over time and suspect the range at that age from that era of EV’s would be impractical for me. Replacement packs are expensive and if I factor them into the purchase cost it’s pushing all of them over $10,000.
Maybe in a few years when my living situation has changed and better EV’s are available in that price range?
Hi, I’m thinking of building a personal website about tech, privacy, open source, etc. Any recommendations about where can I buy domain? .com is taken, but everything else is not. Shuld I take .tech (few dolars more expensive) or something more basic?
Do note though that for privacy purposes, a .us domain is not the best idea. You must be a U.S. citizen or business and registrars may try to verify your identity.
Perhaps I’m being difficult, but I’m not deriving pleasure from documentaries the way I used to. I realize I’m speaking in generalities, please humor me....
I’m kind of with you on most American produced documentaries being obnoxiously dramatic. I especially hate when they add sound effects to historical footage. The exception that comes to mind is Ken Burns, emotional but not dramatized the way a History or Discovery channel show is.
Maybe try some of Werner Herzog’s documentary films? They definitely include music and are viewed through the directors artistic lens but they certainly meet your criteria of stylistically different.
I’ve seen a lot of discourse over which browsers we use and I myself have made the switch from brave to firefox. I still use brave as my search engine though, so… which do yall recommend? Is brave’s engine necessarily bad to use? I personally like its ui/theme.
Kagi! Worth every penny of the subscription. The emphasis on privacy is a big deal for me but the killer feature is the ability to customize results. I have sites I personally like/trust towards the top and have an ever growing blacklist of sites that don’t get shown at all. No more pinterest, spruce, or other seo spam sites!
It’s definitely still useful and easier to do now too. SpaceX and Tesla both allegedly use it to catch leakers. It’s usually done now with whitespace and/or invisible characters.
I disagree, i’ve found pretty adequate for my needs. I agree the UI isn’t great, it reminds me of how Blender used to be, but I use it for all my parametric modelling for 3d printing stuff around the house. Fusion 360 is a better experience overall but to say FreeCAD is garbage seems extreme. If you need hobbyist software and care about your freedoms at all it’s worth the slight inconvenience to use FreeCAD instead.
No kidding. I bought one on clearance from Walmart for 5$ and it was great for about a week, adequate for another month or two, and then became unusably bad after just under 6 months. Just buy a real non-stick pan, even cheap ones will last longer than the copper ones.
