That’s a terrible article. It includes nothing to backup the claims it makes- that printers have a plethora of vulnerabilities. The reality is your printer probably isn’t a realistic attack vector.

Your average network firewall will keep you safe, but certainly in theory physical access to the printer could serve as a gateway to the rest of the LAN, and certainly physical access in theory facilitates accessing recently-printed documents.

+1 on Andrew Kensler's awesomeness. After I published these article, he took the time to send me a package with Pixar goodies. Deeply moving gesture.
How about I put it this way: Manufacturing is the bedrock of power. Everything else above it, particularly fiat currency, is built on that bedrock. While those cards can be mighty attractive, losing the bedrock for any reason would destroy everything.

Apple isn’t going to be worth $3 trillion when they can’t sell an iPhone for the next decade. Heck, General Mills won’t be selling much breakfast cereal, when the parts to the equipment can’t be imported. How much do you think a bare shelves Walmart is worth? Heck, how will American manufacturing rebuild when the CNC motors are made in China? When even a Prusa uses motors from China (LDO)? Will software sales save us with no hardware to run it on?

The value of everything on the stock market collapses in such a scenario, and the power of the US Dollar goes with it.
There is but it’s a linguistic multiplex issue from the period where they were using British English.

The German of the period referred to both the two door and four door variants as limousines. Hand waiving some nuance, American English distinguished two door and four doors as coupes and sedans while British English called both saloons but had a separate more specific term for a coupe.

A lot of the period literature uses the saloon nomenclature but modern literature more frequently favors the American coupe/sedan distinction. Some argue the only true E30 coupe is the Baur Karosserie prototype but only four were made[1]. Where you land on this debate usually has to do with where you are from.

Tap “BMW 3 Series” => “1980s” => “Sedan” to see both Saloon and Coupe variants.

> My Brother printer is not allowed to talk to the internet. Here's hoping a windows machine on my network doesn't accidentally update it.

Same here.

I keep my HP LaserJet isolated from the Internet (both directions), as well as from LAN devices that haven't been allowlisted for it. Only devices that are limited to generic open source drivers can print to it, since you can't trust the battleship-sized HP "driver" packages not to update firmware.

My Brother color laser printer, I don't use very often, so I just carry the Debian laptop over to it, and plug in the USB cable, as needed.

This isn't perfect, and I can still think of sneaky ways to update the firmware of the small fraction of the installed bases that do isolation like this.

But it's the best reasonable compromise I can find right now, without spending hundreds of hours on what I suspect is the next step of protection. (Which would be "data diode"-like filtering that's aware of application layer protocols and file formats, and only passes validated-safe bytes to the printer. I suspect that an even harder approach would be trustworthy open source replacement printer firmware, unless someone finds and pursues a GPL legal attack, like the situation that birthed the wonderful OpenWrt.)

AFAIK, Brother seemed to have pretty universal word-of-mouth goodwill among techies until the last maybe couple years. But even if that goodwill had significant effect on the balance sheet (relative to the primary marketing methods), my layperson impression is that it'd be a rare CEO who didn't cash in goodwill (especially goodwill built up by a predecessor). And with US government being sabotaged right now, maybe regulators like the FTC will also not be barriers to brands doing whatever a CEO wants, even more than in recent decades.
This thing compiles scratch to Javascript with a claimed 10 to 100 speedup. Here's a bit from the docs on how it works. https://docs.turbowarp.org/how

And here's the source. https://github.com/TurboWarp/

From the doc and a quick glance at the repo it looks like it's scratch modified to compile to javascript. No surprise that you can't live edit, at least not for now.
Exactly, people forget we build things for the sake of consumption, not the other way around. You can build a thousand factories for some good but it's dead weight if there is no one to buy their outputs.
Yes, there is hope for a high-level heuristic understanding. Here's my attempt to explain in more familiar terms.

They train a new neural network from scratch for each problem. The network is trained only on the data about that problem. The loss function tries to make sure it can map the inputs to the outputs. It also tries to keep the network weights small so that the neural network is as simple as possible. Hopefully a simple function that maps the sample inputs to the sample outputs will also do the right thing on the test input. It works 20~30% of the time.

Depending on the origin country, there's a non-insignificant amount of people coming to the US, making a lot of money, then going back to their country of origin and building businesses or charities back home. Often with some amount of remitances in the meantime. I think that can be a win-win, but the ratios probably matter.

This the reason no nukes were dropped since WW2, and why I also think the next mass massacre won't be from nukes but any other mean that won't have the same international framework.

Vietnam wasn't nukes, and it wasn't just a fluke. Gaza wasn't nuked, yet the whole area is now flat.

Not true. I’ve run my own server for over a decade, which has presented far fewer problems than gmail. The ability to: easily create redirects & distribution lists, back up all of my inboxes in seconds with a single rsync command, pre-filter messages with external programs, & actually see the SMTP logs and packets in real-time are game changers.

You're wrong. The 486SX had a 32-bit bus, just like the DX version. The difference between them is that the DX had an integrated FPU while the SX had it disabled and you had to add a separate 487 co-processor.

It works to some extent, but it depends.

For example, you probably want to keep updating the OS of your computer, if the computer is at all connected to the internet in any way. Which for most of us is the case because we want to browse the web etc.

One day, after an OS update for your computer, the vendor software for using the scanner portion of your multifunction printer stops working because it’s not compatible with the latest version of the computer OS. So you are forced to update that too. And then when you try to use the new version of that software, it refuses to work unless you let it update the firmware of your multifunction printer. So you allow it to do that. And now they successfully locked you out from using 3rd party printer cartridges with your multifunction printer.

If you are lucky / if you did research ahead of time before you bought the multifunction printer in the first place, maybe you bought one that doesn’t require any manually installed vendor provided software to work. And so at least you don’t have the exact situation above.

But even then you’d have to do a lot of digging to know what happens in the background.

If you are on macOS or Windows, does any of the parts of the OS that allows your multifunction printer to work without you manually installing anything extra do any kind of firmware updates for your printer automatically and silently in the background? I have no idea.

Hell, even with Linux there are binary blob things involved in a lot of distros that I couldn’t know if they would eventually end up updating firmware for my printer.

It seems to me that it is near impossible to truly be certain that any multifunction printer does not eventually somehow receive a firmware update even if you never manually install any vendor provided software related to the printer.
Something tells me that printer manufacturers aren't spending any man-hours to update whatever crusty version of openssl or libxml they're using.
Both right wing economists like Friedman and Mises, and left wing, understand initiating tariff wars against friendly neighbors is economically illiterate. No persons of educated thinking have anything fundamental to add.

I started with PageStream on the Amiga then later went to Publisher on the PC; I used both of them heaps, primarily for print - got myself a HP LaserJet 4P which was just glorious. Did club newsletters, school works / assignments, cafe menus, everything. Great times.

I actually bought the boxed edition of PageStream with my paper boy money, even though I was just a high school student at the time. That's how much into it I was. :-)

(The skillsets picked up from this along with Assembly on the Amiga transitioned reasonably well into a career of web development and software engineering.)
They've had the potential to revolutionize global financial systems for a decade now. So why haven't they?

If I'm looking for the promise of "virtually instant, virtually free transfer of value", SEPA and FedNow are delivering it at vast scale without the blockchain woo-woo. Adoption could be broader, but you can hardly say Bitcoin is universal either.

Whether intentionally, or by accident, the crypto space has created assets, rather than functional currencies, and the problems we want to solve with the financial system are usually currency shaped (broad acceptance, stable value, limited number of systems to choose from).

Now, there may be some interesting aspect of creating a new asset class-- it's uniquely "bottled scarcity" without beauty or utility like most other assets have-- but I think we need to get over the "revolutionizing finance" story until it revolutionizes something other than "I need something new to gamble on."
I have the same exact gripes with tmux/screen, and I have a similar workflow requirements as you do. I'm currently using Shpool (https://github.com/shell-pool/shpool), which checks all the checkboxes you mention.
You will almost certainly be able to continue to use forwardemail.net as your SMTP forwarding host for sending traffic.

That means that you do either one of two things:

- keep using forwardemail.net SMTP credentials in all your e-mail clients, such as snappy. Only point those clients to your own server for IMAP4 access (accessing the mailboxes where mail is flowing into your own server).

- or else, point SMTP to your own server, and configure your SMTP server to use forwardemail.net as the next host.
There are some advantages in that you have your own SMTP endpoint that you can use with multiple devices.
In my case, my phone can talk to my own SMTP server for sending mail, and my SMTP server talks to my residential ISP's SMTP server. My phone cannot talk directly to my residential ISP server, because it's not inside their network; it's on an unrelated mobile network. So my SMTP server acts as mail forwarding proxy for the phone.

- Sine you keep using forwardemail.net for sending, your reachability is not impacted.

Sending SMTP through forwardemail.net is covered in their FAQ. It looks like they have a few configuration hoops to jump through:

https://forwardemail.net/en/faq#do-you-support-sending-email...

I'm guessing you know about this because you must be using that with your snappy setup. What catches my eye is that they have some configuration bits where you declare your custom domain. That's not always necessary. For instance, in my setup, my ISP knows nothing about me and my domain. I just connect to their SMTP server, and use whatever From: header I want in my e-mails. The SMTP envelope address is one assigned by the ISP. I also noticed the bit at the bottom of that FAQ about their "manual review process on a per-domain basis for outbound SMTP approval" which supposedly takes 24 hours.
Were those benchmarks with the DX-50 or the DX2-50?
No, they should come into work but the office should be in places like Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
This isn't true. Almost all MTA have quite sane defaults these days. Yes it's not a simple walk in the park. I mean if you have 5000 users behind you then yes, what you say can be true, one compromised user can flood you etc.
But as a "I have a small domain I host my own emails" I don't agree with your comment.

> But solution point 1 — brain drain the rest of the world — is an absolutely first rate policy. The fact that the US requires newly-minted PhDs educated here to get a different visa or leave is absolutely self-defeating. We should be welcoming skilled immigration from everywhere.

Even better, let them keep their visa and if they revoke their citizenship, we'll relocate their entire family if they come from a repressive regime.

Brain-draining the world is really the key to cementing American Hegemony in a post-Cold War world. Additionally, we should be funding basic research at historic levels and incentivizing, via the tax code, corporations to productize and apply this basic research. We should be expanding the frontier of knowledge without regard to its immediate application.

It's in an inexperienced engineers blood to demand a full rewrite. I mean, it's just so tempting. Learn from our mistakes, a build a system that solves them! Then, we don't have to wade through the crud on top of crud on top of crud to get simple things done!

But, anyone who has ever been through such a rewrite knows they're usually more trouble than they're worth, and no matter what, you will lose A LOT. Doesn't matter how thorough you are or how many requirements you capture. Most are lost to the ether, never again to be seen... until the exact moment you need them.
Im reading a charming book called Tramps and Ladies, an autobiography of a ship captain of the Cunard line in the transition from sail to steam. The last chapter I read paints a picture of the unrestricted immigration of the 1900s - anyone with 5 pounds could hop on a ship in Hamburg, Liverpool, or Piraeus and start a new life in the States, and people poured into New York in the millions. I wonder if the mass emigration was a factor leading up to the Great War.

Anyhow consider me demoralized, i cant picture anything the US could do in the next decade to turn the ship around from the fuck-it-all perestroika we've adopted as federal policy. (Speaking of turning the ship around, I'm looking forward to my 8 day east bound crossing from NYC to Southampton at the end of the month. The ship is capable of doing it in 5 days but the demand isn't there to pay the extra cost to run the turbines at full steam.)
The banking industry is big because global economies are big and business need ways to finance and issue debt.

There's not a single tower or factory or mine or business I would imagine that has been financed via dome form of debt coming from elsewhere, because if we're waiting for raw cash to build things we'd be missing out of most business opportunities and the entire economy would slow.
> Back the dollar by gold [...] The second will prevent a lot of the scams.

Oh boy... Bitcoin in many ways is idealized gold (unlike the real one, its supply is actually limited), yet there is no shortage of scams around it.

On the contrary, a gold standard would remove one of the most essential tools modern governments have: That of monetary policy. That sounds like a good idea if and only if there's an extreme shortage of trust in the government and institutions, and even then it's only the lesser of two evils (the other being inflation) and comes at a high price.

What is the gold standard 'effective' at? In the 19th century, the US had a more or less continual stream of panics and recessions. In 1932, everyone had to get off the gold standard because there was no mechanism to stop the deflationary death spiral otherwise. 'Bretton-Woods' failed to control inflation, and it became possible to arbitrage gold across markets.

Profit in it of itself is an inefficiency. It's a bandaid for the fundamental problems of the private sector. The fact the public sector isn't burdened by a requirement to make profit isn't a downside, it's a super power.

We can't defeat Russia in a regional squabble, much less strategically (as the risk is too high if we let it escalate). The potential for more conflict in the future is not an excuse to never seek peace. If you think there is another conflict coming, we can prepare for that, but this crap can't go on. There won't be any Ukrainians left at this rate.
Here's a thought experiment - would the amount of gold a country has be expected to correspond to the amount of money that country's economy needs? I believe the answer is - absolutely not.

So we can set some conversion rate to get things started with the correct kind of corresponding amounts. Great. But - over time, both the amount of commodity available and held, and the amount of money the economy needs will shift. Can we expect the conversion rate to stay the same then? Again, the answer is no.

That's why pegs to commodities (i.e. gold backed currency) or other currencies always fail eventually - they can start off fine but will always drift away and you either have increasingly large inflation or deflation when things don't match up (which ironically is exactly what the proponents of commodity-backing claim it prevents, but the history is pretty clear).

It doesn't matter then about whether the mining industry is 'real' and if the financial industry is 'artificial', as interesting as the argument is. Practically gold-backing always tends to fail, so it's a moot point.

> like scoring a soccer game based on how far your players run

That’s a pretty good analogy for what GDP is counting, actually.

We have a large inventory of Brother printers we use onsite at events. We use Samsung for 12+ years until they pulled out of the printer business. We chose Brother mainly because they weren't HP with their toner practices. Now looks like it may not make much of a difference.
