It’s the same trick as rebranding bank robberies to identity theft. It puts the blame on the consumer who can’t afford to defend themselves.

Nobody wants a five cheese pizza. That is when they break out the weird cheeses.

A lot of shows were “filmed in front of a live studio audience”. I don’t think that makes it better than canned laughs. It affects the pacing of the jokes, where the characters will tell a joke, wait for laughs, tell the next joke, etc. Any time I see that now, it makes the show feel dated, but that doesn’t mean it was a bad show.

I have a Synology NAS, and the account you create with them is separate from the ones you create on the device. They couldn’t log into my device. Their account allows for easy integration with their stuff like the dynamic dns or other outside services. I like it because if my internet goes down, I get an email saying they lost connection, which is great for diagnostics.

If I set up my router to block all traffic to them, it would not prevent me from using the device.

This is true. You create a plex account, which allows you to log in from anywhere and will give you access to your media. The real problem is that if your outside internet goes down, you can’t log into your own server.

My first thought was “this is why you use Jellyfin”.

ON TOP OF SPA-GHETTI!!!

You have a point that it will be hard to explain this to everyone on why it is better.

From my understanding, when you use a password manager, the user will enter a pw into it that they remember and the vault will unlock. Then when they go to log into a website, a different, longer, and impossible to remember password will be sent to the site at login. (Assuming they are using the manager well). A week later when they go to log in again, the same long password will be delivered.

The problem is that if a bad actor gets involved, whether it is the website is attacked or they send the user a phishing url or something and the password from the manager is exposed, it will have to be changed. That scammer can now log into that website as the user whenever they want, and possibly any other website that user used the same password for. Hopefully they didn’t if they are using a manager.

With passkeys, a user will log into their manager with a password they remember, but when they go to log into a website, a different token will be sent, based on their key, every time. So if a scammer is listening at the router they still can’t log in again because it has expired.

It is still not a perfect thing, I would imagine that phishing sites could still get a scammer in, who could possibly do bad things or change the login credentials but it is still much more secure than sending a password to the site for the user.

That is why good sushi fish is flash frozen and then thawed before serving. It will kill all the parasites in the meat.

I’ve had it in the states. With good fish it can be good, but I’d take halibut over salmon fried any day.

You are correct that if you are on thee moon and have a cs-133 atom with you is second will take that many transitions. And if you do the same thing on Earth, a second will take the same number of transitions.

But things get weird when you are on earth and observe a cs-133 atom that is on the moon. Because you are in different reference frames, you are traveling at different speeds and are in different gravity wells time is moving at different rates. This means that a cs atom locally will transition a different number of times in a second from your point of view on Earth vs one you are observing on the moon.

And it would all be reversed if you were on the Moon observing a clock back on the Earth.

They already have to account for this with GPS satellites. They all have atomic clocks on them but they don’t run at the same speed as clocks that are on the ground. The satellites are moving at a great speed and are further from the center of the earth than us, so the software that calculates the distance from your phone to the satellite have to use Einstein’s equations to account for the change in the rate of time.

Relativity is weird.

Except the length of a second is different on the moon because of relativity. So even utc is wrong.

Honestly this just sounds like periodically refactoring everything to remove cruft can be a good thing. Also, it helps you understand how the existing code works if you change it and not break everything.

I still have my WRT54G around somewhere. Loved that thing. What I found interesting was that when the firmware went open demand for that model went through the roof. Wish more companies would realize that there is a demand for that market.

Uncrop.

Just enough so that you could get a conflict between two of them.

This exactly. By the time they notice a problem you are three tickets down and on to the next sprint.

What are good cameras to use for self hosting this stuff? I have a NAS and would have no problem opening a port to allow access from outside the home but most of these companies just want to sell you cheap cameras that you really don’t have full access to.

They did. I think it was a regional database key collision problem. People n North America would see cameras in Australia and vice versa. But I could be wrong.

The problem most of these examples and counter examples make is only showing simple code and assuming that you always want to apply the patterns of abstracting things or not.

This is the real problem. Without context of what the project is for we can only speculate on what the “best practice” is. If my problem is that I have a directory with 2000 videos in it, and I need to process all the ones with an English language track, I am going to write a one-off bash script, and not a huge C# project filled with the OO concepts.

But if the method is one of 10,000 needed in a huge project, then sticking with the coding guidelines of the whole project is more important for maintainability. A dev coming in 36 months later who is familiar with the code base would have less problems going through an abstracted setup, just because they have experience with the project and can make assumptions from that.
