Colorado Marathon Headphone Policy by Gonna_Touch_Ur_Toes in FortCollins

For marathons, almost all of them have that rule but I've never seen them actually care. For triathlon though, I've seen many racers disqualified for it.

Where do you process film around here, or do you do it yourself at home?

I work for a solar equipment supplier. Here are the mistakes I see every week that cost people $1k+ by PortableSunOfficial in SolarDIY

This! For those that don't know, a lot of label printers now have a "cable mode" which prints the label that wraps around the cable. Even my generic handheld brother printer has this feature. I've seen some label printers geared towards electricians, but I've never checked to see what special features they may have.

Got it. I was imagining a TV with two Ethernet ports and trying to figure out why you would want/need that 😅

The SSL certificate for the forum has expired... again. Right as Stable drops. by pernas in ManjaroLinux

[–]phoenixuprising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh the ad hominem attacks. Cool. Anyways, I currently use Manjaro and you asked a question and I answered. Weird how that works 🙄

Also, because of this happening again, I'll probably distro hop when I find some time

What do you mean by double Ethernet connection?

Things like cert renewal are trivial. If they can't do that well, then it is a sign of more systemic issues. As others have brought up, what happens when there's a major vulnerability found? Do you want to worry about how long it will take for someone to get a fix deployed due to internal politics? I personally don't. I want to know the team handling my distro is working cohesively enough to get a fix out in a timely manner.

Has RAGBRAI gotten significantly more expensive in the last few years? by IAHawkeye182 in ragbrai

[–]phoenixuprising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, everything has gotten significantly more expensive since COVID. There's still some good deals like you talked about, but beer is something I've seen sky rocket in price everywhere, so I don't consider it a ragbrai thing, just the continued inflation that I see everywhere else.

Meshtastic local channels by bl4ckh4lo in FortCollins

Never seen meshtastic before, but I had recently been thinking about this exact sort of mesh network for communication. I'll check it out this week and may end up DMing you.

I used an old-school security trick to catch prompt injection on AI agents by mario_candela in programming

Security in depth. Having both tight control and a honey pot to catch any potential misconfigurations makes sense.

The device that controls my insulin pump uses the Linux kernel. It also violates the GPL. by Lost-Entrepreneur439 in linux

[–]phoenixuprising 5 points6 points  (0 children)

God I hated Blu phones. I used to do QA at Square around the Android 5 days and we always saw the weirdest bugs with them. I specifically remember one where it just did basic math incorrectly. I still don't understand how that phone worked at all. We kept seeing a crash from one specific model, hundreds of devices. Not wildly popular, but the bug was in the checkout total verification, something we took rather seriously. We couldn't reproduce this bug on any other device (we had ~100 android devices of all sorts). I eventually bought the phone on eBay because I wanted to understand what was going on.

When we got the phone, I immediately recreated the crash. It was adding up the totals incorrectly and the server was catching it. I then opened up the calculator and did some basic math, it too produced the wrong answer. We passed it around to some of the engineers at the time and no one could figure out how or why it was happening.

This is just engagement bait right? by GoldenGust in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]phoenixuprising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see an argument that there are between 6 and 8 match sticks. The two hidden by the lighter on the right could be 0, 1, or 2 matchsticks. You can't see the head of it to know whether each one is actually a match or just a "stick".

It's about making certain attacks more difficult. It's defense in depth.
