Smart switches for the lights. We can turn off all the lights in the house from bed.

This article smells fishy. Another commenter mentioned the source not being reliable. But the whole concept of “drawing to a plan to invade Greenland” sounds off to me. Remember the US probably already has detailed campaign plans for something like this.

Part of responding well in a crisis is planning the response ahead of time. In a military context, that means wargaming and campaign planning. I expect the US military has offensive and defense plans for a wide range of situations. That likely includes everything from options for offensive actions in China to plans for defending a conventional invasion from Canada.

To be clear, I’m not picking on the US here. Every professional military in the world is going to do this sort of preparation. Part of a prepared military is having a plan of action in rapidly developing situations.

You can be against religion but also unhappy that a government is arresting people apparently for only practicing a religion.

…I think a huge part of the problem here is how people read and consume information; take one bite of what is presented and go straight to an extreme opinion.

I always encourage better media literacy, but it’s a problem when we minimize propaganda as “the reader is the problem”.

Yeah, it sounds more like political fear mongering.

Ya know what…I could see it happening. It wouldn’t do anything. But it’s not the most ridiculous thing this timeline has offered.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to do. Do you have slow or clogged drains that you’re trying to fix? Or are you just trying to dispose of them?

If you have a drain problem, I think drain cleaner is supposed to be safe for modern pipes. But if you have old cast iron drains, it can eat through them.

If you’re trying to dispose of them, look up how your town wants you to dispose of hazardous waste. Some places will have a specific place and time you can drop off hazardous chemicals like drain cleaner.

(If you’re trying to dispose of it and don’t have access to hazardous waste removal, it is possible to neutralize the drain cleaner and safely dispose of it. But if you’re asking these sorts of questions, you aren’t qualified to do that. For anyone who might be qualified, don’t forget your PPE 😅)

True, but there’s also a little more nuance.

For a social media ban to be effective without ostracizing individuals, it has to include the entire friend group.

As an analogy, if the kid’s friends all text each other, but your kid doesn’t have a phone, they miss out socially. They miss out on organized and impromptu hangouts. And they miss out on inside jokes that develop in the group chat. Over time they feel like more and more of an outsider even if the ready of the group actively tries to include them.

In an enterprise setting, you shouldn’t trust the server firewall. You lock that down with your network equipment.

Edit: sorry, I failed to read the whole post 🤦‍♂️. I don’t have a good answer for you. When I used docker in my homelab, I exposed services using labels and a traefik container similar to this: https://docs.docker.com/guides/traefik/#using-traefik-with-docker

That doesn’t protect you from accidentally exposing ports, but it helps make it more obvious when it happens.

You worked there as an intern? In your field, do people expect to move from intern to full-time employee? If not, “the internship ended.”

Deploying regular military inside the US is illegal.

Greece is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. They don’t respect driving laws. They openly throw trash in the streets. They smoke right in front of “Please don’t smoke here” signs.

For pedantry’s sake, these aren’t examples of corruption. In order for it to be “corruption,” there has to be someone in a position of power who is misusing their power.

Some examples of corruption would be:

• Bribing a public servant to get better service (link)
• Fraud and money laundering (link
• Bribing a politician to win state contracts or improve terms of existing contracts (link 1, link 2)

I don’t know how dead it is, but it’s pretty straightforward to set up your own gateway (public or private). Even if you don’t have a tech background, there’s the “IPFS Desktop” app that stands up the IPFS service locally.

This only works if there is enough supply from those other companies. This also assumes that the other companies have a supply chain that isn’t affected by tariffs. Which means each step on the chain needs to produce enough to be a reasonable alternative to tariffed imports.

The only one I think is reasonable is GraphQL. But that isn’t rest, and HTTP is just one of the transport layers it supports.

For anything claiming to be RESTful, it’s a crime.

(another pet peeve of mine is “rest” APIs that use 200 response codes for everything)

Yup, also some APIs use GET for everything. It’s a pain. And it means that filtering by verb only helps if you’re intimately familiar with the API. And even then, only if you keep up with changes as they happen. So really, only if you’re developing the API yourself.

That’s not exactly how it works. There are “territorial waters” which are entirely under the control of the state. And there is the “exclusive economic zone” (EEZ) outside of that, where the state has rights to resources. But the surface is “international waters”. This incident happened in the EEZ.
