It's a good thing if you already have home automation set up. But installing home automation probably costs more than the 30 euros/year you're saving on electricity.
I mean, I do see where you're coming from, and I have in the past second guessed some medical advice and asked if they'd considered a particular diagnosis I had a hunch on.

On the other hand, they're a professional and they've usually spent the majority of their life training to be good at what they're advising you about. I don't demand to be involved in the design of planes I fly on or bridges I cross, because frankly I'd do a worse job than even a pretty bad qualified engineer.
I've advocated for years that each program should be ran as its own user and group, isolated from the rest of the system.
So let's say you run Firefox, is should run as firefox_username user and group.
This way any exploit is ran with the user/group permissions, and unexploited it has no read write access outside its own user and group.

Selinux is a beast but there are tools to help with determining which settings need to be applied.

If you desire a truly locked down system, where you have a person or can afford a person dedicated to its security it's a good tool. Otherwise just turn it off.

How likely is it your server is going to be actively attacked? Usually very unlikely. We don't count the random and always present background brute force attempts, they're just background noise.

It highly depends on what devices you have.

With recent Danish prices fluctuating between €0.5 and €1 per kWh, i have been going through my devices, and there were a few of them that surprised me.

I have a couple of Sonos speakers, and apparently every Sonos speaker draws 3-6W while idle/standby (https://support.sonos.com/s/article/256?language=en_US). Having 4 speakers means about 20W idle power consumption, which amounts to 175 kWh/year (14.5 kWh/month), and even at €0.5/kWh, that's €7 per month just keeping speakers on standby.

Another "hidden source" of power draw is a PlayStation. While it's fairly cheap keeping it on "standby" (6-8W), streaming media from it takes about 90W. For comparison an Apple TV uses between 3 and 7W (https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/products/appletv/Apple...) for the same.

I had almost the exact same experience. Sitting in the chair prepped for a cleaning and the DH dives into this tale about “bad bacteria” and how if it gets into my stomach during the cleaning I could have all kinds of problems including heart disease and so on. Then the follow up treatment plan had other “beneficial” procedures not covered by insurance - platelet treatment to improve healing. I called the insurance company to ask about the plan and discovered the uncovered items were more than the actual procedure itself. The dentist wouldn’t negotiate or change to a code the insurance company recommended.

Fun facts about availability:

1) the more nodes, the higher probability of failure, 2) the more load, the higher probability of failure, 3) complex logic and/or nodes that aren't tested frequently have a higher probability of failure

Basically, every person who has claimed "X is easy, I do it for my personal use and it's fine with one giant node, don't need HA" is true (for them) because it's literally less likely to fail. But if they had more load they'd see more failures, and probability doesn't mean they won't encounter the random failures that are much harder to recover when there's no backup system.

HA means you're going to have more failure, which means more work to keep it running. But it's necessary work if total system failure is unacceptable. Two engines in an airplane is twice the maintenance, but it's better than the only engine conking out mid-flight.

Declarative dependency management. Every Node project has a package.json file, which is the first thing that I look at. It gives you so much information at a glance, and it allows for reproducible builds with just one command.

With pip you have to resort to hacky solutions like like pip freeze. It also doesn't solve circular dependencies. Luckily these days the Python world has Poetry, which exactly solves this issue, and might be even better than npm. Unfortunately it's third party and adoption is a bit slow, but I use it for all my projects.

Unless you have a specific issue dentists offer mainly preventative care. The thing with preventative care is that you can never really prove what is working and what is not. Also, you can never really know when you've done enough.

I think of it kinda like a car wash. You can pay extra for the fancy spray on waxes or you can just get a basic wash. How much does wax quickly sprayed on by a machine do for your car in the long run? Not much. But it makes you feel like you're taking care of your ride. Sub in teeth (a part of the body) for a car and they can charge almost whatever they like for shining bright lights in your pie hole.
Yeah I'm confused by this article. I've got a Virgin Media TV box which used 25w while on standby. Maybe I'm doing the math wrong but:

25w * 24 * 365 = 219000w or 219kw per year.

At my current electricity rate that's £39.42 per year at a very minimum just for the TV box.
but trying to follow 12 different heroes in a FPS
popping a cluster of giant ult animations is impossible.

I (very casually) played a lot of FPS back in the day: Quake 1/2/3, Tribes 1/2, TF2, etc.

I watched some Overwatch matches on TV and found it... extremely hard to follow.

1. Watching other people play from a first-person perspective is rough. They need to figure out better camera angles or something. I don't know the exact answer there. Also needed, perhaps, replays of key moments? Even more so than traditional sports, esports is so "blink and you missed it"

2. I've never played Overwatch specifically, so I didn't know the maps at all. The broadcasts really need to address this somehow unless they only want to appeal to people that already know the maps. Give me some kind of.... map overlay so I know where the heck the action is happening, relative to the goals on the map.

3. The announcers were unlistenable. They just sounded like fans. "OH!!!!!! GAMERDUDE123 WITH THE KILL!!!!! OOOOOOHHHHH!!!!!" Broadcasting traditional sports is extremely hard, and esports doubly so, so I realize how difficult a task it is. But my god. Unlistenable.

This was a few years ao, maybe it's better now. But it was basically a nightmare to me.

BBC says [0] there was no need for court orders, it was to be coordinated through the banks, probably under the banking regulatory framework. "With no need for court orders, banks can freeze personal accounts of anyone linked with the protests." is the sentence I'm looking at.

And I can find someone who is in the banking system, then trade them crypto in exchange for them buying my groceries for me. It'd work as a temporary arrangement while the situation calms down. Even if the exchange rate is bad it is still better than having no liquid assets, I don't want to have to barter with jewellery or something. Crypto is the best option as far as I can tell. If you have a better one do suggest it, but frankly I think Monero is the best option. Better than nothing.

> The problem is not so much that selinux is too complicated (it is as complicated as it needs to be), but that we all run software we don't understand.

There are many many problems.

One of the biggest problem with SELinux is that it is trying to graft Mandatory Access Controls on a userland that is not designed for it.

Unix, frankly, is not designed for security. It is designed to get work done by writing a bunch of little buggy C programs that you string together in novel ways.

Security is something that was grafted on it. And it shows.

How many decades of security vulnerabilities have occurred because of a shared /tmp space? 40 years?

How do you graft access controls on a system designed with no access controls and potentially billions of combinations of programs, paths, and various other resources without breaking anything?

The answer is: You don't. You can't.

Were as you have a system designed for security, like Android, and literally hundreds of millions of fully SELinux-enabled fully locked down user-facing Linux devices are out there being used by people who haven't the faintest clue what "audit2allow" is and wouldn't understand it if you tried to explain it to them.

So it's less of an issue of "we all use software that we don't understand". SELinux is complicated enough that you can devote your life to trying to understand it and still fail to craft good rules for other people.

It's more of an issue of "Linux userland follows the basic Unix design from the 1970s which is kinda shit if your goal is security".

It is just bad design. Pure and simple. That is all there really is.

However there is a way out.

The way out is to give each process and each user their own little itty bitty special Unix environment where they can do whatever they want. And then you use strong divisions to keep them mostly unaware of each other. Use a default deny policy and only poke holes in it when required.
That's why you should use a "flipped classroom" model, to focus in-person effort on these limited chokepoints. That still leaves everything else that can largely be done non-interactively and at the best pace for each student.
Not terrible, but still not as good and easy as npm. For example, you can't make a distinction between runtime and development dependencies, and it doesn't solve circular dependencies. Luckily there is Poetry which exactly does this.

“ Medicine has become a three-way negotiation between you, your doctor, and The Algorithm.”

This characterization makes it sound like a good thing. In reality, the doctor’s responsibility is being pushed to the patient because they are overbooked in the name of economic efficiency.

As a patient with complex, non-specific medical condition, I can tell you how miserable this is.

I can’t count on doctors _at all_ to move the process forward. It’s always me, reading articles on PubMed and coming up with ideas.

I’m not medically trained nor am I scientist. It’s a lot of legwork for me normally, but the ways that being sick limits me make it much harder.

Further, the emotional and intellectual overhead required to negotiate with medical professionals is high.

Back when I could afford to, I saw a neurologist at an office that didn’t accept insurance. She choose to see fewer patients and give them more time, as well as spend time doing research to look for new clues and ideas.

This worked really well and I made progress with her.

The rest of the American medical system? Gatekeepers that block access to potential treatment pathways until you can convince them it’s worth a try.

> WebAuthn is about presenting credentials to the server from the security key. The server gets to check our private keys, but the end client (the page) doesn't have any validation or tools at it's own disposal.

Clients get to check the servers TLS certs & DNS entries for proof that they are who they say they are.

> NitroKey & myself want the web to have a standard way to encrypt & secure data, ideally that allows for security keys to help do (sign) the encryption. https://github.com/Nitrokey/nitrokey-webcrypt

OH, so you want a way for the server to encrypt data just for a given client, that they can't read. This doesn't really make a ton of sense. The server has to have the plaintext version to encrypt, which means they have the data un-encrypted before they encrypt it for you. Hence you MUST trust the server with your plaintext data. Since you have to trust them anyway, this doesn't really buy you much. But sure, fine whatever. If people want to play with that, it's fine. Not hugely practical though.
Dentists are trying VERY hard to get included under standard medical insurance in the US. If you think they're scammy now, wait until they can start billing your insurance. People with insurance are often divorced from the cost of services rendered so they'll really be able to reap profit then.

My experience in a physical classroom in the pre-smartphone era is much the same: a good chunk of the students are spacing off throughout any given lecture. At that time it was passing notes, doodling, or just staring out the window rather than online distractions.

It might be worth considering whether synchronously sitting in a lecture with 30 other kids isn't, in fact, a good model for learning in any environment, online or otherwise.

I can't remember the exact model of course but it must have been some 2000s SONY WEGA Trinitron. Quick search says it uses 0.3W in standby.

30k cycles / 365 days / ~4 cycles a day (morning news, evening) is ~ 20 years of clicking.

Let's say TV is in standby 20h per day. So ~ 146 000h * 0.3W will be ~ 44 000Wh or 44kWh.

44kWh * £0.16 or so equals to ~£10.
Dentists don’t remove wisdom teeth, they just refer you to an oral surgeon. The problem with wisdom teeth is that they increase maintenance requirements, it’s hard to clean back there and they can affect adjacent teeth if they do go bad. So I get why many dentists default suggest to remove them (I still have mine but recently started running into problems at 47).
I've never understood the Go / RoR comparisons. If someone goes from being a die-hard Rails fan to a die-hard Go fan, that feels very much like they're choosing their tools based on fashion / fandom vs. picking the right tool for the job.

One is a relatively slow language with one of the most full-featured and robust frameworks available today, and one is a very fast language with relatively minimal tools for building web applications.
