My mum has a password notebook which is locked away in a drawer in her house, she knows to use either passphrases or random string that her browser generates for her. For her threat model this is better than any software thing.

Certainly a password manager like keepass would be no more complicated than trying to explain to her that she can no longer access her account because she broken her phone.
>I share GP’s expectations too.

Sorry but no you don't, since you call into your LAN-network of course you can see your local machines.

But if you sit in a LAN and you call outside there should be no traffic leaked to the local network your calling out from (for example airport/motel etc).

>Point is, I don’t think of VPNs as something that prevents anyone from seeing my traffic

Correct, every middleman (normally ISP) can see that you connect from your External-IP to the other External-IP over an encrypted tunnel (udp or tcp). The expression 'vpn' i nearly as muddled as cloud ;)

If you want to obfuscate your traffic you need something like tor/i2p, however it's also possible to tunnel your vpn-tunnel through tor-tunnel's (but i don't see much sense in that since exit-nodes are for sure under more observation and publicly known)

Tor and vpn traffic can be detected and blocked (for example Chinese firewall) and for that, shadowsocks can be a solution:

Not an old school engineering. There a fresh engineers rolling of the production line everyday that behaves exactly like this.

I would even venture to say that senior engineers are probably much better at documenting, writing clean code, not over engineer things. My personal experience is that bad engineers move into project management, administration much faster. Which is a problem in itself since they end up being the boss of the engineers that are better than what they are.

Does Firefox route WebRTC through a socks proxy? Does it leak your locally configured IP when WebRTC is initiated?

Even if the specific case of Firefox can be configured correctly and you have the source to verify that's it only sending traffic over the socks proxy, manually configuring every app to use a socks proxy is brittle and error pone, and for some apps just won't work.

Much more straightforward to just have a system wide VPN as the only available route for outbound traffic so that all apps use it transparently.
It's been a while but e.g. with OpenVZ containers you couldn't do anything in the kernel, i.e. Wireguard.

I don't have access to that VPS anymore, but I was already using Wireguard but had to use OpenVPN here, so I can't tell you if this is still a widespread problem or a historical curiosity.

Also sometimes, especially cross-organization, the chance that OpenVPN is already in use is much higher (if they're not doing Open/StrongSWAN anyway).

Apple has no incentive to improve Safari. "It just works" is what their cultists paid to have the honor to parrot, and they enjoy the majority of web market share of people with actual wages and disposable income. That's why the sell culture, not their people's data (directly, yet).

Since it's not "Safari" that's broken (since iPhones cost a lot of money, they cant break), the users will lie blame at the fault of the web developers, since they had gotten cozy within the comfortable, flexible, expected behaviors of Chrome, having enjoyed a hiatus from IE11 EOL pollyfills and jquery.

Apple then made it easier to roll out an app than to grapple with the pitfalls, nuances, foot-guns, and gabbling documentation that Safari has carefully mal-compiled to shepherd both developers and their users into the Walled Garden.

It's just the browser wars, but with higher stakes. And Microsoft already won.

The first boot after a macOS system update has long been bugged out. It launches a bunch of apps you didn’t even have open before updating, seems to be the 5-10 most recent apps you quit. Yes they were fully quit, yes I have the “resume” setting off. It also doesn’t do a resume, it launches them, i.e. tells them to create new windows, and it launches them before it finishes mounting disks, resulting in every update being followed by all my most used apps appearing out of nowhere and telling me all my config and data is gone. It doesn’t really matter, you just reboot again and you’re good, it’s just careless and makes the OS feel unstable. Maybe the firewall thing is unrelated, maybe it finally forces Apple to fix the bug, we’ll see.
We get high winds here that would rip any normal awning right off of the house, sometimes from unpredictable dirt devils out of nowhere. I put up a heavy duty wind sock that got ripped to shreds in two years, awning fabric wouldn't last much longer.

Inside window blinds help a lot. I recently discovered the kind of blinds that are built between the double panes of window glass. I got a sliding glass door with them. They're so nice and protected from daily household trauma that I expect them to last far longer than my regular blinds. It'd be great to retrofit the whole house with them. I'd love to have motorized versions that could react to the sun throughout the day.

The Importance of Force Sensing in Robotics AI
> So the levels aren't the problem, it's the rapidity?

Only in the sense that it's not the fall that kills you, it's the rapid deceleration at the end.

Evolutionary time (for us and our crops) is much longer than the "approximately one human lifetime" in which it will have become necessary to have adapted substantially. Genetic modification for humans and crops might work if you don't care about the entire rest of the ecosystem.

Ice core measurements go back 800,000 years, which is longer than humans have been human (about 300k). In all that time, up to the industrial revolution, CO2 only varied been about 170 and 300 ppm, its now about 420 ppm and rising so fast it's a vertical line on any graph that shows all the ice core data and is less than 8000 pixels wide.

I don't think I've made any contradictory argument. Perhaps someone else did? Or maybe you assumed a binary where I see gradients. I'm quite sure I didn't claim anywhere that any language was perfectly memory safe. With Rust and Cheri we are getting closer, but there is still progress to be made.

I can say that Rust is well architected such that the borrow checker and most of memory safety is implemented in the midlevel intermediate representation, which is implemented using Rust, and the bits of Clang upon which MIR and HLR are built are both well tested by virtue of being used by multiple language frontends, and limited in scope and modularity. It'd be great to see an all-rust replacement though, as bugs in Clang have been found. I believe there are several projects in the works and existing pure-Rust bootstrap compilers sufficient to get the toolchain working.

is POSIX complicance relevant anymore?
The thing is though that even with array bounds checking built into the language, out of bounds access due to programming error can still be attempted. Only this time it's safer because an attacker can't use the bug (which still exists) to access memory outside of bounds. In any case, the program still doesn't work as intended (has bugs) because the programmer has attempted, or allowed the attempt, to access out of bounds memory.

Writing safe code is better than depending on safety features. Writing safe code is possible in any programming language, the only things required are good design principles and discipline (i.e. solid engineering).
The good news is that MSVC has C17 support (still missing important optional features, but at least some progress).
At times like this we all need a little bit of that.
His exceptions aren't "wrong", they just differ from the proposed use case. I use a VPN connection just like that, to temporarily gain access to my private network when abroad. When connected all "regular" (port 53) DNS traffic goes through the VPN so as to have easy access to internal addresses (many of which have external addresses as well), when disconnected the private network is not available. While I use the same setup to avoid being "monetised" by "free" WiFi connections that is not its main purpose. If my intention was to be completely safe from the TLA I'd use a different setup which only presents the VPN interface for outside connections, i.e no VPN means no network connections.

>Awnings also face competition from interior curtains and blinds, which are much simpler to maintain.

But not significant competition. If the blinds are very reflective a small amount of sunlight might end up going out again but in general, once the solar radiation converts to heat you can't get it back out through the window. That is particularly true for modern multi-pane windows.
The video shows that it projects a 3D surface as if it was storing volumetric information.
How does that work when someone resizes a window? I'm genuinely asking because pixel positioning to me sounds like hardcoding positions. Do you have to manually code the reflow when the window becomes narrow for example?
Fans are very underrated. I've been heating 1700 sqft of living space using a 25k BTU mini split in Maine for 2 years now.

The hot air is moved with some repurposed computer fans up high in a few doorways, and a return cold air fan , like your case, blowing the lower colder air back to the room with the mini split.

The introduction of the fan moving the cold air into that room has a FAR larger impact on the house temp than just the fans moving the heat alone. (They obviously help as well but it's far more effective to move the cold air).

As a geek side note, I also have a few "in wall" fans that direct into 6" vent work, and come out floor registers for the second floor. There are enabled or disabled via esphome temp sensors -- when a differential greater than X is noted, the fan(s) turn on, more rapidly evening the temps upstairs and downstairs.

(To be fair, I also have an oil hot air furnace, and a wood stove, but the furnace has not been used for 2 winters, and the wood stove on the cold cold days in Jan/Feb when the heat pump isn't very happy)

Show HN: I made Conteflow to cut down social media effort by 80%
Hi all!

Just to share some background, I'm an introvert dev who enjoy building more than marketing but I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and build some online presence.

I was partially inspired by fellow builders with just a couple hundred followers getting instant visibility for their projects by sharing consistently.

However, I underestimated how much time, effort and stress that trying to be consistent on social media would require, especially as an introvert and non-writer. I often procrastinated and disappeared from Twitter for weeks at a time as a result.

I didn't want to throw in the towel though so I decided to try and solve my pain point. It took several tries and about 6 months to find a working direction.

The first couple attempts were a gamified streak tracker (earn points and levels for posting) and an AI interviewer (to draw out your stories and insights). Neither really worked out.

The final attempt that worked the best so far: Simply brain dump your messy thoughts and daily happenings and get a batch of tailored and authentic social media posts every week.

Over time, I realized the problem I'm solving is less about content creation and more about making content gathering and documentation as easy as possible. Content creation is 10x easier when you have a wealth of source material to work with.

I personally still need to improve at documenting consistently, but I've upgraded from procrastinating for weeks to posting several times a week. Pretty happy with the small win!

All require runtimes. Which means they're not in the same class of language as C, C++, and Rust.

It's 70% of CVEs in C and C++. People focus on it because it's the biggest single category. Enums and Option types and the whole type system for that matter goes a long way toward addressing logic bugs in Rust as well.

It's truly shocking how much motorized insulating shades (i.e. pull-down double cellular shades) cost. To the point of making me consider attempting to form a low cost competitor in the market.

Wouldn't this setup actually work though? At least if it's a proper sundial cannon.

Most components of that system are mechanical clocks, which do keep the time on their own, they just drift. The only exception is the gunner who fully relies on an external time signal.

So if that were all, the system would work for a while, but slowly drift and become ever more inaccurate, until it basically has nothing do do with the actual time anymore.

However, the gunner does not always operate the cannon: He only does on cloudy days. On sunny days, the cannon operates itself, using the time signal of the actual sun - which is then passed through the chain and let's the mechanical clocks resync to "sun time".

So in effect, the system's time signal comes from the sun. The rest is just an overly complicated way to "interpolate" the time if the sun is not visible or not at noon.

(Now I also wonder if someone ever build a "self-syncing" mechanical clock - e.g. for a clocktower - using this principle: Use a standard clockwork, but add some mechanism that resets the clock to noon when a focused beam of sunlight hits a certain point.)
