All billionaires should be required to prove they’re not made of cake.

I’ve recently seen login attempts using keys, found it curious…

Permitting inbound SSH attempts, but disallowing actual logins, is an effective strategy to identify compromised hosts in real-time.

The origin address of any login attempt is betraying it shouldn’t be trusted, and be fed into tarpits and block lists.

Following the Watergate scandal, ‘-gate’ became the suffix to name subsequent scandals.

I propose stories associated with Trump, and other stupid scandals, be encrusted with the suffix ‘-a-Lago’.

I think there’s scope for dedicating an entire community to them, like c/MAG_a_Lago.

As for Elongate, Musk explicitly requested it be used, which should be reason enough to not.

Go directly to the root.

I’m genuinely curious what vote of mine didn’t protest shit, given that I’m not, nor ever have been, a Seppo.

In a similar vein, anyone eligible to vote and chooses not to implicitly supports whoever wins.

Maybe this already exists, but what about a feature which allows tagging a post as a link to a previous/original post, which can be used by clients to filter out reposts if desired.

Not Linux, but VMS is specifically designed to run on VAX systems.

He truly is an idiot’s concept of a genius.

No one who anctually understands Unix or IP networking would ever craft that as an explanation for this concept.

That said, it’s an excellent explanation of how a lobotomy helped him embrace his true self.

Nut milk comes from male cows.

I’m in Australia, so my perspective may be skewed. The trailer would be optional, and I only mentioned it as the system as proposed could be just an extension of the self contained removable battery in a vehicle.

Unless batteries can become tremendously lighter, I see a standardised, swappable EV battery a given as a means to further increase vehicle efficiency. Why lug around hundreds of km of range when the distance between typical charging points is a fraction of that.

The batteries are what make EVs heavier compared to ICE vehicles, and the majority of trips don’t call for anything close to their peak range.

Installing a fraction of the capacity as a static battery would reduce weight for shorter trips, also extending the typical range.

Removable batteries could be installed in a standard cavity in the undercarriage, or in the regular cargo space, it just needs an electrical connection to the rest of the system.

Fast charging is also a problem, as it disproportionately affects the performance and longevity of the batteries. Swapping batteries would permit charging them at a more leisurely and manageable rate.

I don’t see the use case for phones, and maybe there is for other personal electronics, but something similar for EVs should become the norm.

Basically a range extender when you need it, but it can be removed to save on weight when your trips are within the built-in battery’s range. Such a system could easily be extended to trailers, including their own static or removable batteries, and where the additional axles could be powered so they can contribute regenerative braking.

Friends don’t let friends use Facebook.

Milk is literally filtered blood.

Also, nut milk comes from male cows.

Wireless data links should be the exclusive domain of temporary, nomadic and/or sacrificial applications.

If the channel is permanent, static, or critical; as much of the path as practicable should be provisioned with constrained energy transmission.

Don’t eat shit, mulch the rich.

Charities and billionaires are the polar extremes of the same policy failure. In a healthy society neither should exist, and when they do they should be tolerated for a minimal time as possible.

Charities and philanthropy exist to permit governments and corporations to abdicate their social responsibilities.

When the work a charity does is properly valued by a society, it’s economy would never need to carve out a special, nonprofit status for it.
