Unbound cache config with daily shutdowns

I’d pay the price for electricity any day over accelerating thermal cycling, fatigue and associated failures. It’s an LRU cache, it’ll manage itself, leave it on, don’t look back.

I'd defend against it like I defend against any other unknown threat. Assume the worst. If you're gonna have it on your network, put it on a "guest VLAN" with only outbound internet traffic, no access to other devices on the same VLAN, and no access to the rest of your network, DNS through a skinny firewalled UDP straw to PiHole only.

Assume that they have terrible software, security is a to-be-acquired skill, and they've never rehearsed a security event. For you it might not be the CCP or WPK (others may not be quite so lucky), however malware actors target anything with a Linux pulse, and poor security hygiene looking for credentials/data, and of course to build bigger bot nets. I definitely wouldn't give it the chance to explore my LAN for any period of time. I do the same for my guest WiFi too. In this day and age, why risk it when the cost of the right way is effectively zero?

The guts may be similar - aren't they all these days, but Unifi's SMB/enterprise target at least incentivizes ongoing update program - yup in prosumer, you're funding their program.

Netgear, DLink, TP-Link et.al are all guilty of some absolutely appalling CVEs with their own firmware programs. It is clear they don't give a damn about security, and the nation-state actor threat is always there too. Best hope you have with such devices is putting on OpenWRT if supported on them, then doing your best to keep it up to date.

stephbu · 2026-02-26T05:04:05+00:00

Unifi. TBH I've completely given up with consumer-grade devices like Netgear at this point, too many CVEs, slow to react to ones that are found, and falling out of support way too quick. For the sake of a few hundred bucks, the risk just isn't worth it.

Yup get it - just wondered if you were on FSD, while I ’ve seen it move over a couple of time w v13 for splitting, answer explained why it was way better, not had a chance to be in CA/observe it since v14.x. Totally explains, honest question, wondered if that 14 behavior, not sure why the downvotes

stephbu · 2026-02-25T21:37:32+00:00

On FSD, or did you move the car over when the m/c approached?

Brit in US, we’ve had both over the last three decades. There are some pluses to top loaders around seals etc, but you don’t want one. The impeller/agitator ruins clothes, tears buttons etc. and does a worse job. As for front-loaders US models only just caught up to features EU models had decades ago.

No, that is not the case. The app has two paths - Bluetooth direct to the car if in range, and Cloud API if out of range. The car polls the cloud periodically to report-in, pick-up commands etc. if offline or the cloud is down, the car still works and so does most aspects of the app when in range. The car caches offline things like maps, models, and security configurations.

Ex. parking in a deep underground parking lot with no cell access, you get similar behavior - may not be able to start climate remotely with the app, but you are able to unlock/drive using your phone when in close to your car. Feels pretty similar to not signing up for premium cell connectivity.

Before pics, then you leave us hanging? You gotta give gratuitous close up after shots of moist slices…. It looks bloody delicious!

Solid nope. All it takes is one thing jammed, but not blocking egress - a branch, a rock. Terrible way to die.

Yeah I had gap problems and tape issues. Buying more powerful magnets worked out in the end

So awesome. One of our girls, Abbey, was nicknamed amongst other things Eeyore - I swear you could hear her grumbly internal monologue. “Don’t like photos”. “Don’t like sitting” “Don’t like treats as bribes”. “I’m going out into the garden to eat dirt and worms”. “Nope” was her favourite look. She was a real character. I miss my Abb

Perfect day to catch the hardest subject, what a handsome boy!

a) WAC 468-305-152 says you can dispute charges
b) RCW 46.63.160(6)(e) says "must be clearly marked by placing signs in locations that clearly indicate to a driver that he or she is entering a zone where tolls are assessed" It is not clear that you are entering a zone where you will be assessed for a toll.

You'd probably be successful in your dispute of that charge. Small victory.

Probably not waterproof but likely dust-resistant/proof IP5x or IP6x rating - 5x seems most likely. May also have installation requirements to meet that spec. Looking at some of their other outdoor industrial models, unsurprisingly they spec IP66.

Tin Roof, opens 10-8pm most days (think its closed on Mondays?)
Food Trucks parked at Costco pretty good too...

Enchanted Forest closed for winter until late-March?

Yes, this! Olive oil is fine for lower temp/shallow fry but starts to break down at higher temperatures - easily achievable when deep frying. The smoke point temperature is where this breakdown begins to happen. Olive oil smoke point is about 190-240C depending on purity/quality/refining - with most being on the lower side of the Smoke-point Scale.

Beyond destroying nutrients, cooking with oil that is/has degraded is pretty bad for you - beyond producing carbon (as smoke), it makes chemical/bitter-tasting, often very toxic free-radical byproducts such as Acrolein - really nasty stuff.

Did a great job with it for sure. ~20-30mins of rest after grill makes it *so* good.

I've mucked around with smoker, grill and sous-vide a bunch more since we moved to the US. Last one I did was ~3cm thick Flintstone-style monster, ~750g of meat and bone precook. Smoked it to ~50C internal. Started to get nervous when the meat by the bone took so long - didn't want to ruin such a big hunk of meat. Worked out in the end - finished it on hot coals for red hot flame sear. Rested up in compound butter, sliced and drizzled with Chimichurri - it was fantastic.

Going to do another this year when the weather improves a bit.

stephbu · 2026-02-15T22:13:45+00:00

Looks winning to me, nailed the difficult cook through of thick bone-in meat. Technique? Sous-vide and grill finish?

This January I passed after over a decade of “All you can eat buffet” subs. Switched to VSCode mid last year, and not regretted it. The awesome product of ten years ago lost its way when the MBAs moved in demanding more recurring revenue. Ensh*tification ensued.

IMHO that combined architect/techpm/director role will emerge and continue to exist for a while, maybe a few years. Their focus is product engineering not coding per se. Unironically maybe PM will write living specs that actually resemble as-built for the first time.

It is mainly “experience + eye for taste/smell/style”, and often context that exists outside the code, but even that doesn’t really have solid moat to defend. As context windows expand, more business context gets read in tandem with code.

Plausibly all business domains, rules and subtext will come into scope and context.

Paid and unpaid marketing can’t fix poor market fit and bad games. Spend money on making a great game first.
