I had to take it to a site that was about 20 minutes drive away and after getting there it didn’t work and just gave 6 beeps and the red LED on the power […] Informative video about the way corporations charge different rates based on location and even type of device used on the web site [1]. This should be illegal everywhere! Bruce Schneier with Heather Adkins and Gadi Evron wrote an insightful post about AI Hacking and the Future of Cybersecurity, the future seems grim [2]. Slaughterbots is […] I have just converted to the Internode NBN500 plan which is now the same price as the NBN100 plan. I’m in a HFC area so they won’t let me get fiber to the home (due to Malcolm Turnbull breaking the NBN to help Murdoch) so I’m limited to what HFC can do. I first tried […] Just over a year ago I configured my blog to only allow signed in users to comment to reduce spam [1].

I […] Werdahias wrote an informative blog post about Dark Mode for QT programs on non-QT environments (mostly GNOME based), we need more blog posts about this sort of thing [1].

This Coffeezilla video highlights an interesting scam, run a broker for day traders and don’t execute trades, just be the counterparty for every trade and rely on day traders losing [2]. First Sight is a Dust SciFi short […] I’ve just started using zram for swap on VMs. The use of compression for swap in Linux apparently isn’t new, it’s been in the Linux kernel since version 3.2 (since 2012). But until recent years I hadn’t used it. When I started using Mobian (the Debian distribution for phones) zram was in the default setup, […] The Problem Just over 2 years ago my Dell T320 server had a motherboard failure [1]. I recently bought another T320 that had been gutted (no drives, PSUs, or RAM) and put the bits from my one in it.
