I’ve had good luck with goharddrive.com. They sell through amazon as well, but I believe they ship direct. I usually get the hgst, or now wd, ultrastar hard drives. I’ve had zero issues.

In utah, I can average 80 mph on a road trip, in the houston texas area I can go maybe 20 mph average, so time is a lot more useful of a measure.

Might do kind of what you want.

Yeah, it would be nice if those were still made.

I feel like a pretty good vehicle for a lot of people like that who need a truck sometimes and don’t want a second vehicle could be one of the new small diesel trucks, like the ram ecodiesel. 30mpg is more than even most compact SUVs get, it’s still a truck for people that like that, and it can haul/tow more than a compact suv as well.

A big problem with 2 vehicles instead of 1 is often that insurance costs so much more, even if you’re driving the same number of miles as when you had 1 vehicle. Registration fees too.

one of our partners we have to integrate with at work sends us reports in ms access format. it’s not fun, especially when everything is running in lambda and there doesn’t seem to be any good libraries for reading ms access files that would easily run in lambda.

I like yubikeys since it means I don’t have to pull out my phone. totp on the laptop also works well enough.

sms based 2fa is the worst. it seems like to me every ceo and other non-technical c-level person I’ve known personally loves sms based 2fa though because they can’t figure anything else out.

I’m pretty sure you can set alacritty and kitty to a ridiculously high number of scrollback lines, like at least several trillion. I think I just add 4 zeros on to the default and I’ve never had enough output for it to run out of scrollback. At some point you’re going to run out of ram or storage for storing scrollback so you can’t realistically have unlimited scrollback without doing something ridiculous.

I had eye twitching, went to an eye doctor and I had some mild astigmatism that my eyes were trying to compensate for and getting exhausted, especially when staring at computer screens, they don’t twitch now with glasses.

good to know. yeah, it didn’t seem like the kind of thing for texas to do on its own.

at least where I am in texas, they tell you what it will cost before you go. When I was in utah, I asked them beforehand what it would cost and they said it would be impossible to know until after the procedure was done. The front desk person said even they weren’t even allowed to know the prices beforehand.

Not having to deal with split horizon dns or nat hairpinning is pretty nice, especially with so many things using DoH with public resolvers nowadays, like android or firefox.

I just put A and AAAA in public dns so things work either ipv4 or ipv6 on the outside. On the inside everything works on and prefers ipv6 so it just works on the inside too. Nothing ever even attempts to use the wrong (public) A record on the inside.

Rif is still working for me logged out. I’ve heard it doesn’t work logged in, but I haven’t tried it recently.

I mostly used slide before and that doesn’t seem to work at all now.

Reddit offline also seems to still work for me.

I emailed their support to complain that their transfer out ui was broken so I couldn’t get the transfer code, they sent me the code without me proving who I was. I was communicating with them using a different email and even different email domain than anything they had on file.

Yeah, same for me. Vans doesn’t seem to like making leather or suede slip-ons anymore.

It’s the worst trying to use git on a capitalization insensitive filesystem, like on mac’s default.

mv DockerFile Dockerfile

git says there are no changes.

Had to

git mv DockerFile Dockerfile1

git commit -am “rename file”

git mv Dockerfile1 Dockerfile

git commit -am f

git rebase -i origin/master

and squash the last 2 commits together

I ended up making a new volume on my mac specifically to hold git repos that was capitalization sensitive so I don’t have to deal with that shit.

rock64 works pretty good for my use case as a 700 mbit router.

I’ve heard good things about the rockpi.
