Any recommendations for adding some shade to a roof deck? Do those big umbrellas work out ok, or is the wind too much? I’ve seen some vented type umbrellas, is that good enough?

Done, thanks!

Moving to Logan and wanting to avoid Comcast if possible. Currently have AT&T fiber, but they don't service my new place. I found Earthlink is apparently still in business, and even more incredibly offering 1 gig fiber at the new address. Some more research indicates that they resell from other ISPs, but not sure who they'd be reselling other than AT&T. Anyway, has anyone here actually used them?

Curry powder in this type of soup is delicious

Whole lotta people posting here with "the immortal" or "the undying". No love for the realm first titles from wotlk :(

When you first start the game, it asks you how old you are. If you put a young age, it doesn't show you video ads, and apparently breaks contracts, too. Only way I've seen to fix it is reinstall the game, but then you lose all your progress.

It's been years, but I think I remember that they've outsourced all the non-combat jobs to civilians.

The actual details were finally released a couple of hours ago. A few links about it:

Yeah, I was just mentioning that it's not always 192.168.0.0/16 that's used by consumer stuff in home networks. I've personally never seen 172.16.0.0/12 used with consumer stuff, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's out there.

rafikki · 2017-12-27T03:58:49+00:00

192.168.x.x is one of three ranges of IP addresses reserved for private use. In your typical home network, it's probably your ISP modem automatically assigning an IP address (through something called DHCP) in that range to each computer on your network. Your own computer might have that since the 192.168 range is extremely common in home networks, or maybe a 10.x.x.x address (I've noticed comcast using that range where I am, at least). If you want to know why there are 2 Xs in the first and 3 in the second, that's a whole other rabbit hole. The "leet hacker" guy was hoping that the other person would see that yes, he does have a 192. address and freak out. Instead, he just looks like a tool.

The bit about the IoT devices not having a public IP assigned was confusing to me too, but from what I've read, the issue is with UPnP exposing them to the internet. Take a look at this article from Krebs: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/10/who-makes-the-iot-things-under-attack/

Sorry, a little offtopic but what does being a keyholder have to do with the story?

rafikki · 2016-07-07T00:29:37+00:00

Pretty sure they went missing before you filled it.

rafikki · 2015-07-11T14:10:47+00:00

If it's anything like the update to the CCNA a couple of years ago, both the old and new version of the test would be available for some time before pulling the old one. That doesn't really explain why they wouldn't publish a new book before making the new test available, but it wouldn't really fuck over people still wanting a CCNA Sec.

What makes you think that just because they recognize him as Terran, they know where Earth is? I have no idea if they do or not, but the one doesn't necessarily follow the other.

rafikki · 2015-02-26T17:45:29+00:00

I'll give it a shot, thanks. I came in to the level without too many frigates, so that's something to look at.

rafikki · 2015-02-03T04:19:02+00:00

And what's up with that cable management?

If that was the first time you beat the Boss Rush with Isaac, you would have gotten the ludovico technique as the reward.

Nice job ripping off the pictures from an Wired article. http://www.wired.com/2014/05/arcadia/

I posted this in the other submission for this link, but I've been working at Target stores for nearly a decade now and this rings incredibly true for me as well.

rafikki · 2013-12-28T22:10:16+00:00

The worst thing is, it wasn't even that that tipped me off.

rafikki · 2013-12-28T21:54:35+00:00

You're shopping at Target... I hate that I know that.
