With worn textiles, there will be wear and tear. Textiles exposed to the outside can get dirty from rain, bird poo, mud, vomit… I would want to know, how cleanable is it? Is it allergic to any cleaning agents? Can the waterproofing be reapplied when it fades? For highest review rating: Does the manufacturer offer a repair service with access to original fabric even when your chosen color is out of style to recover holes and cuts?

I’m so happy to see this, finally some good news from the us.

Only public facing ports, maybe your openvpn login. But that means you are already firewalled up and your attack surface is tiny, good 👍

I recommend fail2ban to stop the automated attacks that are the background noise of the internet. It will set your firewall to block certain ip’s for a while, especially ports 21/22 are getting hammered with dictionary login attempts. And port 80 and 8080 for example get constantly version checked to see if you are vulnerable with an old apache, old dokuwiki etc, so don’t expose more than you need to and maybe learn about ssh tunnels and close a few.

I once installed ossim in a small network with a server and it showed me it is war out there, scripts flying everywhere.

I’m kindof a nimby when it comes do giant cockroach farms in my area, please don’t scale this up. Don’t make “oops 2 billion milkroaches have escaped” a thing.

I like badblocks in destructive mode. It can also do multiple rounds of overwriting. It is also a good tool to burn in a new hdd or test a used one. just check smartctl bad sector count, run it, check again if it increased.

Techspot.com / the youtube channel hardware unboxed is also recommendable - consumer focus and willing to correct themselves when new data drops. The most important thing is to get your requirements right - what resolution, do you buy modern games or everything on high discount, what are you currently not happy about(need 30,50,70,100% more?), are you willing to sell your current card to offset your upgrade costs… good luck!

CES is next week, unless you get a really good deal, this is the moment to wait and see how the market will shift this year. As for your performance question, I recommend the relative performance table at the bottom of your current gpu’s page: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-5700-xt.c3339

Starting with Visual Studio (not code) helps a ton. Make a simple winforms application with a button and some labels and you will start to see how it ‘starts up’ from program.cs to your form.

Sounds great! I’ll have a look once the user infrastructure is in place.

This article is far too hypey. One dude has started this initiative and needs people to work on his concept to get it off the ground. I’m not opposed to a red-hat free immutable system, but this one is so far from maturity this article is selling a first drawing like an almost finished product. Remind me in two years how this went.

It is not the size of the Dutch flag that matters, it is that you use it.

Schöffel has been pretty good for me so far. Last raincoat lasted 10 years, they repair broken zippers if needed. If you have a schöffellowa store nearby, they tend to go on sale late summer.

Because they are students? Both are high demand professions, I don’t get it.

I too want to open a business where both customers and suppliers pay me. Do you know any more gullible sectors? Academics are pretty extorted already it seems.

No non-metric area in that picture, the core of my joke still stands :P

It’s a japanese bird, that should be Pascal.

Or worse if he does, how do you prove to all the anti-money-laundering watchdogs you got free money from a genie? Will you be able to gain control over your instantly conviscated money in 30 days?
