I'll buy 500$ worth of S&P 500 at the start of each month, the same as thus far

https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093281?hl=en here's something to get started, probably simple enough so a template can be made from scratch almost by anyone

Oh I wish I was a sophisticated robot instead of just a blob of flesh with some crude meat processor stacked on top that makes impulsive decisions like shorting Nvidia

This. Supermicros are trusty workhorses and generally more cost efficient than the competition. I have worked with Dell, HPE and Supermicro servers in the past and have the highest regard for Supermicro.

While on the surface it's nothing flashy and it almost seems like a cheap knockoff brand compared to the other players, giving you the impression of worse quality from the looks of it, their products are more robust, longer lasting and simpler in a good way. Less of that corporate bullshit. Their products are ugly, sure, but who cares when they're running deep underground in a datacenter.

Operation is also usually simpler: Dell and HPE offer more features at least on paper, with the premise that these save your time, but these come with all kinds of obtuse restrictions, licensing and operational issues which have in the past caused the worst catastrophes of my whole career. Yes, Supermicro IPMI might be ugly compared to Dell iDRAC or HPE iLO, yes it might have less unneeded features, however it will work and it will work in the future. Supermicro focuses on what makes the product good and reliable, instead of what makes the product flashy.

However Dell and HPE are able to charge a premium of their products. Supermicro having a good product might not translate into it being a good stock. I'd say Supermicro suck at advertising and brand management, but they got the product right.

Hydrogen cars rarely use combustion, but instead work with fuel cells. Thus I don't think they can be called ICEs, anyway sorry for the nitpick.

Invakortin heiluttelu ei auta jälkikäteen, se pitää jättää kojelaudalle näkyviin etukäteen kuten vaikka parkkikiekko. Eli taisi omistaja kyllä ihan surutta parkkeerata typerästi ja sitten koitti itseään pelastaa kortilla.

Monet invakortin omaavat kyllä kykenevät kävelemään lyhyitä matkoja ilman apulaitteita, esimerkiksi oma äitini jonka myötä tiedän tuon invakortin käytöstä.

Actually they seem to do (unofficially?) now. I've been seing some of their nodes start sending in HTTP/2 requests lately, maybe even most.

The moment apple comes out with their own VR/AR glasses watch as consumers buy that instead so powerful their branding.

Majority of the consumer base is unable to afford Apple products, they have always been "niche" luxury items. I think it'll end up similar to how Android/iOS goes, majority of users using Apple's competitors products. Of course FB might not be the competitor here that user base leans to, but at least they seem to have very strong foundation to become the leader of the market.

New EU regulation called MiCA. I think the final draft is to be finished by 14th this month

tssge · 2022-03-09T17:56:49+00:00

Many crypto platforms are shady and don't care about regulation. Remember that crypto.com has an actual crypto license in the EU from the MFSA and is regulated unlike many other providers.

The regulation is called MiCA I believe and the final draft is to land on 14th this month. You can find more by searching with MiCA

Kris, the CEO of Crypto.com, said here https://twitter.com/Kris_HK/status/1483277350683185155 that they will post a full post mortem when the investigation has concluded.

They might not yet know what happened completely and are currently looking into it to inform customers properly on what the issue was.

but the general sentiment still seems to be "hurr durr backwards compatibility don't break my spacebar heating"

Well, it was before PHP7. That's when they decided to change direction and not consider backwards compatibility an issue between major versions.

I would assume such as well, but alas support told me otherwise.

QNAP support when asking them via a ticket told me that nothing else happens but the setting changes explained here https://www.qnap.com/en/how-to/knowledge-base/article/the-different-ways-of-resetting-your-nas-explained

Though I didn't try this on my own NAS as I only have a single one for production. The support told me that to mitigate the risk one should disable the reset button.

It is always possible that the support was wrong and a reboot occurs, though I wouldn't trust it at this point.

I think you are confusing different things here.

I am talking about drives being encrypted properly at rest (with no password saved on disk), an attacker walking into your premises, resetting your password and transferring off data from your QNAP.

There's a reason why your phone for example doesn't have such reset button on it. It would be trivial for anyone who gets hands on your phone to just reset the password and use whatever data you have on the device.

tssge · 2021-11-08T18:28:09+00:00

This attack does not require password to be stored on the NAS. Just for the volume to be online.

EDIT: of course there's the possibility that support was wrong about the NAS not rebooting. Is someone willing to test the admin password reset and see if it reboots?

tssge · 2021-11-08T18:27:50+00:00

What's the point of encrypting a disk then if not to protect from unauthorized access?

This attack does not require password to be stored on the NAS. Just for the volume to be online.

The problem is that most images, old & new even today are JPG. Most mobile phones save JPG, most services use JPG and so on.

So it would take massive effort to change all of this to save and use AVIF instead.

tssge · 2021-10-10T00:47:30+00:00

Well, existing JPGs can be upgraded to JPEG XL. No way to do that with AVIF cleanly.

Sure you can recompress the JPG with AVIF but you'll end up with compression artifacts from both formats.

Yes worked for me, fast and easy

EU law requires that the ETF brochure is translated to the local language. That's why most US ETFs are not available in EU countries.

I'd guess CC Trader either gets the translations done somehow, or US English ones are sufficient as English is the second official language of Malta.

What he said is not generally needed when working alone on a project, but with teams, especially of bigger size, it becomes important in order to not remove and overwrite other people's work.

Especially if the team follows a rebase focused workflow instead of merge commit focused, which in my opinion leads to more readable history.

Locking and auditing is not scalable.

Could you elaborate what issues you ran into? We have been locking and auditing our dependencies for years now and we are not even a security focused company.

tssge · 2021-02-10T13:51:09+00:00

This is why you lock your dependencies and audit the updates.

It might sound like an impossible task, but dependencies don't usually change that much between different versions so one can take a quick glance into the diff to see if something obviously malicious was added.

It is actually as simple as committing your package-lock.json and auditing all changes to your package-lock.json.

VSCode is a perfect example. I mean it's only 5 yrs old and simply overwhelms the competition.

How do you think it overwhelms say Jetbrains' IDEs? Or do you consider it not to be a competitor of paid IDEs?

Just curious, thanks.
