Debian has updated kernel packages out for the stable release. https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-43284 I kind of get your point, but they responded pretty quickly here.
Most of us were using Zip drives to backup our files and then put the disks on shelf. There was no cloud backup, and 100MB was often enough for all your personal files.
There’s a pretty good explanation here: https://exrocketman.blogspot.com/2021/12/the-seal-failure-in...
For a lot of items I’ve looked into, Newegg and Microcenter had comparable prices. Several small items were cheaper at microcenter, presumably because Newegg marked up the prices for low cost items to cover the free…
Don’t forget about power. If you’re trying to build a low power NAS, those hdds idle around 5w each, while the ssd is closer to 5mw. Once you’ve got a few disks, the HDDs can account for half the power or more. The cost…

The Atlantic had a good article about this last summer. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/07/pennsyl...
Even worse was one of mine last year that needed Flash. Apparently we neglected to update it. I can handle ancient Java, but trying to get Flash setup was going to be futile, so I just went to the data center.
Sparkleshare does something kind of similar. It uses git as the backend automatically sync directories on a few computers. https://www.sparkleshare.org/
I was not a reader as a kid. I just didn’t ever read books. But around age 13, I had to read a book for school. I picked up Eon at the library, and I read it, and actually wanted to read the whole thing. After that I…
Comments and commit messages.
IIRC there was a brief period of time in the US where manufacturers could omit putting airbags in cars if they used an automatic seat belt instead. So a couple manufacturers did this to keep their costs down, but…
This is kind of funny to me. I’m on an iPhone 8 from October 2017, so it’s just a hair shy of 5 years. I haven’t had a case or screen protector on it for at least the last 4 years. It still runs the latest iOS version.…
If you’re on an Apple product, Strongbox might fit your requirements. https://strongboxsafe.com/
You are correct. https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartIII/TitleIV/C...
They already do that. There are weight and position sensors in the passenger seat that will disable the airbag if it detects an object under certain weight and height parameters. The airbag won’t go off if the seat is…

The bandwidth is good enough, but it’s the latency that gets me.
I think CentOS 7 still does.
The problem is that you don’t know how long the outage will be when it starts. I once saw a large outage start, everyone jumped on to troubleshoot, thinking it would be an hour. 8 hours later it’s still an outage, and…
Another factor I haven't seen mentioned in the responses yet is safety to human bodies. You (or your kid) can stick a wet finger in a 12V DC charger socket in your car and not get an electric shock, including any of the…
My high school (and middle school too) was big enough that the time it took to walk from once class to my locker and the to my next class too longer than the time we had in between classes. So I had to carry a lot more…
