> a decent pan with a thick bottom, the thicker the better. It will take longer to heat, but it will also provide a more even and consistent heat
Yes, but also, a good quality thinner pan also works. I have been a big cast iron fan for a few years. My wife recently sprung for some "All Clad" pans.
They are quite thin, they heat quickly, and I am every bit as impressed with them as I am with my cast iron. I took over for my wife at the stove while browning some sausages.... they browned faster than normal, on a lower heat.
I was very impressed; though, for the price, cast iron definitely wins out; but for speed, these things rock hard.
The master key of these locks is not like a cryptographic key; it conveys no security at all. Since locks with the same master key are easily purchased; the shape of the master key is trivial to reverse engineer anyway.
Nothing was revealed by that photograph. Anyone who wanted a copy of that key could always have made one.
Bottom line: any mass market lock with a master key is fake security. TSA is endangering the public by even mandating one. This employee did nothing wrong except work for the TSA.
A solid show maybe but, there was less Star Trek in the free episode I saw than in the first five minutes of the average Orville episode.
I can't say anything redeemable about the free episode other than "nice graphics" but, Star Trek used to be the show that proved special effects were not all Sci Fi had to offer; so that was kind of a step backwards.
Then I can't even really complement the special effects because of all the lens flare someone shat all over perfectly good video.
They failed to sell me, and up to this point, I watched every single live action Trek show in existence.
Russia has never taken my money and lied to me about what it was being used for. Russia has never used my tax dollars to commit heinous acts of torture. Russia has never arrested my countrymen over what they choose to put in their own bodies.
Turns out this is absolutely the correct answer. It all comes down to one thing... Apple clearly thinks its own users are fucking stupid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
What you could do though, is make the wifi router as dumb as possible and use a pi to replace its services.
I use an ancient WRT54G with a tomato firmware. its nice, but I prefer a bit more control over dhcp and dns so I setup a VM for that. Well... that means my network services break whenever the VM host needs some TLC. So I moved all those services to a pi.....because needing to reconfigure my desktop to connect to the web and explain to others why the network isn't working are both annoying when I need to look up grub commands.
The upshot though is, my router is easily replaceable without losing any configuration other than the ESSID and passwords.
I can't speak for everyone, but I can't remember the last time I cared what the photo on the government issued card I shouldn't really need for much of anything looked like.
I mean I know we Americans like to pretend to have low taxes, but, in reality, we just have a lot of misdirection and backdoor taxes.
Every fee you pay for a government service, especially the ones they impose on you like driver's licenses which need to be renewed for some reason and the same with car registrations. Then they setup their regulations to maximize offences so they can disproportionately rake in money from the poor. Those fines are all taxes really.
40%? That isn't far off from some estimates I have seen for totals of what a lot of Americans give our worthless government.
What uses is this in a "Garden"? Kill plants by height? That is useful in one instance only....when you are growing grass.
Also, I like dandelions, what good is a robot that kills those? Nope, wake me up when it identifies plants before killing them, then you have something I might care about.
How does this absolve them of the fact that they were revoking his seat entirely for their own convenience? The captain may be in charge, but the airline should still be held liable for his decisions.
Choosing to not honor his ticket may be their right, but I don't see why that absolves them of any and all responsibility. They took his money and then denied him service entirely for their own convenience. That is 100% on them.
How does "not as bad" fit into this at all? We are liberties pretenders.
The ability to complain is requisite for freedom; not sufficient alone. As long as people can be imprisoned, and are at terribly frightening rates; the highest in the world, we are not free.
As long as all the government needs to do to put you in prison is produce a physical object and claim you had it, whether that object is guns, or drugs, or religious symbols or any simple thing....we have no freedom.
As long as we can be survieled and have evidence trails "Constructed" to deny us the right to a fair trial, hell, while the president can deny us a fair trial.... we have no freedom.
Being able to complain about it is....nice. I will give you that.
> What part of individual freedom and limited government as written in the US Constitution is morally wrong?
You are putting words in his mouth. I live here in the US and I certainly don't look at our country and say "paragons of freedom and limited government", not by a long shot.
If anything, the betrayal of those principles is why I would agree, there is no reason to love the US. We are liberties pretenders. We have made an entire industries out of imprisoning people for what they would choose to put in their own body, then used it to justify more and more surviellance and restrictions on liberty.
That is before even getting to the murderous terrorism we call foreign policy.
Not going to lie, I miss keepass and its autotype function. I tried to mock something up with xdotool but never really worked right.
That is mostly what I did, though instead of a thumb drive I just used git to keep some copies around...though, on windows I just used scp because I had trouble with git-annex. I never trusted thumb drives that much. I have lost data from them and if a backup procedure is too manual, I know I wont follow it.
Then I bought a yubikey, and the more I looked at it, the more attractive the password-store model was. Worst case scenario, the only tools I really need are ssh, git, and opengpg. The only backup data, aside from my multiply-replicated repo is my restoration keyring, which can be copied to several USB sticks and is valid for potentially a decade or more. I can toss one in a bank safe deposit box (and some day I will get around to doing that!)
You CAN setup a yubikey in OTP mode with keepass via a plugin, but, OTP mode is suboptimal and could be very problematic if you have sync/backup issues.
1. Yes but, you can have many git servers. Each repo is a full copy so central repos are basically throwaway. Lose one, make a new one, push to it.
2. The amount of available resources is amazing but, still, nobody cracks gpg encrypted files, nobody is dumb enough to try. Keeping up with the tool chain and updating keys every few years as the recomendations and capabilities change should do you fine.
generally the weak point anyone would assault a gpg based setup is either key storage or end point usage.
Nothing will stop a malware you don't know about from scraping the decrypted passwords as you decrypt them. If you store keys locally in an exportable form and type the decryption passphrase, then it can all be stolen by maleware as well.
However, if you store subkeys on hardware that can't export them, and requires a touch, so it can't be used as an oracle easily.... then the best they can do is that.
In this scheme each password has its own decryption session key, and that key is the only sensitive data that the hardware key works with. At best they get one message at a time, as you use them; and that requires that they own your endpoint in some way.
In a twisted way it makes sense. File loss is more common a problem than actual compromise. This absolves them of needing to offer a solution.
Personally I ditched even keepass for password store because it solves this by supporting git for sync.
Its cross platform, uses gnupg in the back end, meaning no custom encryption code and a well known, trusted code base. Plus, because it is gpg based, all but a couple of special snowflake implementations natively get the benefit of hardware keys that gpg supports.
Since the gpg keys can be used as ssh keys, the whole process becomes seamless.
Sure they do, society often is is piss poor at determining who should be classified as a criminal. I shudder to think how terrible it would be if law were perfectly enforcable; especially since its creation remains so imperfect.
Society loses a ton when bad laws are enforced and criminality is used as a weapon to subjugate it.
> It amazes me in this day and time that there are still rogue accounts in large enterprises
I would like to be shocked but, I got over that years ago. I actually got called to a desktop support case once that turned out to be "someone broke in". Did some random damage to equipment that didn't make sense (looked like they had a go at the floppy drive of an old laptop with a screwdriver, in a rather rude way)
Before I updated my ticket and left it up to security to deal with though.... I did think to check who the last logon was on the PC. My jaw hit the floor when I saw the name was clearly a test account. In a slight rage I typed the name of the test account in as the password and it logged me in.
Right there from the users desk I looked up the name of someone in the domain admin group and called them up to confirm.... the new production domain.... the new one that was going to banish all the shared accounts with bad passwords.... had well known test accounts with obvious names and passwords.
So if the United States took this up alone and paid for it; it is a better use of money than:
- the F35. - paying other countries to buy military equipment from us to prop up jobs. - Mass Surviellance: this is 1/3rd the cost of JUST the Utah Datacenter
Right, I don't actually DO any of the things I was claiming, I just lie to him. Its so much easier than actually going through with it. I put him on speakerphone and go about my business while I fuck with him.
No videos, but one dude totally caught on and started singing to me before he hung up.
> The scammers have become wise to this. They refuse to deal with Windows 98 and Windows XP on grounds that Microsoft has announced their end of support.
So much effort anyway....its easier to not setup a VM and...get this.... Lie to them.
Its fun. Treat it like a video game. Its role playing practice. Your just rolled a new character "stupid user". Just pretend to be the dumbest user you ever tried to help, and imagine what issues they might encounter. Feel free to be "too smart for your own good".
My favorite was when one guy asked me to open a link "in chrome", I agree. 3 mins later he is asking "whats going on now?" "oh I am installing chrome" "oh so you have a web....ok" He waited another 5 minutes before checking in again.

There is an even more sane default.... to only support text.
HTML doesn't belong in email; images should be attached to be downloaded and viewed in another application.
Simple, and has worked flawlessly for me since the 1990s. Formatting isn't content, not having it is no loss at all.

Who said Russia is fine? Russia isn't my problem, not by a long shot. Washington is actively harmful to the people where I live.
> Everyone outside the US gets a better deal.
Not true; all people in the US have to do is tune in when its broadcast at 9/8 central on Fox thursdays.
The spirit of Trek is alive and well, and CBS has nothing to do with it.

I don't consider Russia an adversary;

Washington is our adversary.
