A thousand Roman paces. A pace is two steps, each about 1m, so 1mi is about 2km. The conversion from paces to meters isn’t exact, and definitions have shifted over time.

CPU doesn’t have any secure storage, so it can’t encrypt or authenticate comms to the TPM. The on-CPU fTPMs are the solution, the CPU then has the secure storage.

To be extra pedantic, there are a lot of dash, hyphen, and minus characters, but critically no such thing as a “hyphen-dash”, just “hyphen-minus” or " dash".

Motorola Razr IIRC. First smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy S.

I’m the same way. I’m happy with my life, overall, but of course there are improvements I could make. There is pleasure in achieving something long striven for, and there is displeasure in the striving. More money would achieve some of the things I want more quickly, but none are critical so the balance is better with a longer wait and lower stress.

RF circuits are the same core principles filtered through black magic and the Laplace domain.

Kubernetes adds a lot of complexity. In return, it allows various teams in your company to work mostly independently, so that your software stack can mirror your org chart better. It trades latency for scalability (adds network calls to things that could have been local function calls). If your “home lab” isn’t serving millions of users, you don’t need Kubernetes to run it.

That said, you might be using your home lab partly as practice for a job at a large company where the tradeoffs of Kubernetes make sense (or at least someone thought they made sense and started using it, which is more common). That means using it at home can provide valuable self training, since you can screw around and not take down the production cluster for anyone other than yourself.

DOH, skipped those two critical letters! Thanks for the correction.

Astronomers already use Julian Dates for various reasons. Right now it’s 2460261.2834606, it’ll be later by the time you read this. Julian dates/times are fractional days starting from January 1st, 4713 B.C. = 0. Just keep counting up from there.

Murphy’s Oil Soap for wood floors.

Threads (1984 BBC tv movie banned from rebroadcast for 40 years due to being too horrifying). It’s about the death of hope, and how all that remains after is to hope for death.

Edit: I’ve seen it once. That was enough, I never want to see it again.

Yep, providing exemptions for vehicles under the weight threshold where a commercial driver’s license is required is dumb.

Yep. If exemptions required a CDL there would be far fewer exempt vehicles being made.

Same. I’d rather pay than have advertising.

Yep, it’s just Murphy’s Law of data: everything you regret posting will be in public archives forever, everything you want to preserve will have gotten deleted the next time you try to find it.
