Curl to dev/sda sounds ridiculous until you realise that a lot of people recommend exactly that when they tell you to upgrade OpenBSD or anything similar directly from single user mode. Yeah your sysupgrade and whatnot checks hashes. Have you ever checked those? Where did those SHA256.sig files come from? The same place your callously enabled network in single user tells your machine the files are, thats right. Has it ever occurred to you how wild it is that many of us have – for decades now – essentially overwritten large chunks of our production systems right from a flimsy copper wire that goes up and down the hill under public roads with complete faith and trust in your distro maintainers, ISP, god and state?
Wild man.

This link is broken:

Also. If it’s just a find/replace of TLS … a great way to do links is just “://example.com”

By not putting http or https, the browser will respect whatever connection your on.

Strawberry is so nice! Also loved Clementine back then and Amarok before that. With so many ports and resurrections it certainly scratches an itch for many. :)

I recently read Mike Piggott’s blog post A love letter to cassette futurism (HT Dragonfly BSD Digest). I did not recall having seen the term…

The issue with the ZipCodeFirst topic is that the article assume a zip code maps only to 1 city but that’s not always true.

Not only can a zip code map go multiple cities, it can also map to multiple states.

42223 Kentucky & Tennessee Fort Campbell Military Base

86044 Arizona & Utah Remote Navajo Nation communities

89439 California & Nevada Areas near Stateline/Lake Tahoe

These are just a few examples.

“Electricity too cheap to meter.” How ironic that solar would end up fulfilling the promise of nuclear power. So obvious in retrospect, too.

Hi,
I’ve also noticed the same SYN flood attack, however I found one more IP range which is also from Latin America.
12717 661K DROP all — * * 200.36.132.0/22 0.0.0.0/0 /* SYN flood from range */
