Because if I download a binary package I can then fully inspect it before installation and be sure it's actually what I intended to install. If it's actually a package for my chosen variety of package manager it's…
I am currently at a customer site installing a brand new mainstream budget computer purchased off the shelf from a brick and mortar retailer (Microcenter PowerSpec B687) which has PS/2 ports and a VGA output right next…

I'd be surprised if Cloud Key gets another revision, it's a dead product line as I see it. The main purpose was to provide an appliance alternative to running the controller on your own server, which is now unnecessary…
Two reasons come to mind for me: 1. It's very common, especially in certain ecosystems like Python, for the system to depend on old versions of things in such a way that updating to modern versions will break your…
That's why the article says "verify, not validate". Send an email, have a process for them to confirm they received it. If the user gets the email and completes the validation, the email is valid. If they fucked up,…

This is Mac OS 9, which is pre-hackintosh. The term "hackintosh" refers to running x86 versions of Mac OS X on non-Mac x86 systems, where OS 9 was exclusive to PowerPC.
I agree, but it's also a rather distinct device so if it were being intentionally confiscated by TSA as some of the upstream posters claim it'd be really easy for them to identify. If it were policy in any way, even the…
Likewise, I've flown more in the last year than in the decade prior and every single leg my Flipper has been in the side pocket of my backpack. Never once has it received even a second look from the TSA, including also…

Exactly my thought. APRS is nice but I'm just not interested in buying another otherwise analog-only radio. I know a lot of the popular digital modes are hard due to proprietary components but I'd be a lot more…

Can't speak for the project members or main users, but as an alternative OS nerd who actually used BeOS R5 on a 300 MHz Pentium II in-period I see Haiku as having two different "purposes" depending on version. The…
You don't get kicked out of trusted roots for non-compliance, you get kicked out for continuing to knowingly issue non-compliant certs, failing to revoke non-compliant certs in a timely fashion once discovered, etc.…
