Also, High Forever track kind of bangs
Here's a blog post by Bret Devereaux with an examination of why that theory is specious: https://acoup.blog/2020/01/17/collections-the-fremen-mirage-...
Text is wonderful, but note that the one keyword not found in this text is 'parse'. How much extra work is generated writing parers for text that would have been so much easier to deal with if it had just been generated…
And then you add RFC2045 headers so you know what the encoding is...
Indeed. Ultimately we're still relying on blacklists, Bayesian filters, and hueristics to detect actual SPAM.
Sounds somewhat parallel/ancillary to Asimov's Three Law of Robotics: 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human…
We just have to make it the cool thing to run your own mail server. B-)
As I remember, standard operating procedure was to retry 4 or 5 times, then turn off the computer and walk away in frustration.
I'd accept that challenge, but I can't now because it's been edited out. For what it's worth, I remember somewhat agreeing with it.

I consider such rights to be my natural rights, regardless of statute. This is a product of my personal ethics and philosophy. In that sense, it is a right that I have. Whether I can successfully exercise that right…
It's just a different game. A web site is much easier to instrument than a physical place. Say I go to a bar, I show my ID to the bouncer. My identity isn't recorded (unless they scan it with a device that records the…

If somebody calls you like this, immediately ask them for their name and supervisor in the calmest, most business-like tone you can muster. A good tactic is to tell them you can't talk just this second and ask for a…
Or they could make a zip gun with materials purchased from any hardware store, right down to the necessary ingredients for making black powder. In fact, if you make a muzzle-loading black powder firearm you're not even…
A good friend of mine is a ferrier, or as he likes to say, "equine podiatrist". There's actually quite a lot to it. They are responsible for shaping the hoof and shoe in a way that corrects problems with the horse's…
Jones lost in a civil suit. If you lie about somebody repeatedly and cause them harm you can be held accountable. It's called defamation. That is not the same thing as government abridgement of speech.
I learned from a BSides presentation that Ukranian military are using Starlink trancievers placed in pits to beat ground-based signal detection. Do with that what you will.
I've had issues with this same chipset family for years running FreeBSD on some Hetzner hardware. Helps to turn off jumbo frames and checksum offloading. The actual OEM "open source" driver code is 44k lines of…
My impression of FreeCAD as a project is that for much if its life it has suffered from a certain amount of developer churn and lack of focus. It's like somebody builds a workbench and gets it working just good enough…
We did as well for about 20 years. It is a very solid program and does everything it promises. Unfortunately it lacks modern features, and development is sparse to say the least, so we ended up moving to Knot. I'd still…

He was gifted an arch flash suit by the guys from Lightening on Demand :D
Knot does make it quite easy. Also, their devs are very responsive to support questions on their mailing list. It is currently my favored DNS.
If you don't absolutely have to, then don't. That is to say, if you misconfigure it, or try to turn it off, you will have an invalid domain until the TTL runs out, and it's really just not worth the headache unless you…
