The drivers license number has information about gender and birthdate encoded into it. You can see enough of the number to know that this is someone who registered as female, and has a recorded birth date of 29 July '98. I assume this person isn’t 126 years old, so we’ll say they’re 26.
You can tell it’s an Illinois license, because no other state is as obsessed with Lincoln. (Edit: you can also read the Illinois in the seal in the back left)
Cool thing about Illinois drivers licenses is that we know OP is 26 now.
The caveat to THAT is that we do have historical data, and if we can find one or more images confirmed to be the target, we could narrow it down without additional imaging.
It’s not a world ending strike. It’s 2.3% odds that a city ending strike lands somewhere on earth, most likely in the ocean.
It’s a fraction of a fraction of a % that it’ll hit somewhere with any humans at all, much less a populated city.
And on top of that, we have until 2032 to decide what to do about it, with enough time to potentially redirect it with technology we’ve already demonstrated that works. And if that isn’t enough, we just need one or two more data points to figure out almost exactly where it will hit, and can evacuate the area.
Just like we do for hurricanes and other natural disasters.
This is not an emergency, this is an easy mode try out for a real disaster.
8·1 month agoI have a watt meter monitoring the power usage of my NAS. Out of all my checks, I assume that’s how I’m going to know I get hacked before anything else.
Yeah, that looks amazing, and it’s really quick. That’s a huge improvement!
I do like the idea of adding the “this product replaces X, Y, or Z” in the info card without needing to click on it.
It’s a tough balance, you don’t want a whole page for each one. Maybe if there was a clear list of tags so it’s easier to understand even what category they’re talking about?
For example:
Penpot
Design freedom meets open-source collaborationI really don’t know what this product category even is. Is it for web layout? Is it a drawing program? Is it for CAD?
Love the list, but scrolling through, the one liners don’t mean much for a lot of these.
The descriptions are just too short and vague to even understand what a lot of them actually do.
I’m wondering if it’s MORE private than Mullvad, cause the billing is separated from the servers. Probably just wishful thinking though.
Sure, but that just pushes back the timeline some. Even with immortality, invulnerability, and teleportation, you’re still going to live forever floating in the void of space. There just isn’t going to be anywhere to teleport TO after a few trillion years.
Immortality is fine, until you end up stuck somewhere forever.
It’s inevitable, it might be 10 years from now you’ll get stuck under a mudslide and buried forever, but conscious.
In a billion years, you’ll get stuck inside the expanding sun forever.
In a few trillion years you’ll get stuck floating in the void of space forever as the universe expanded into nothingness.
Immortality needs some sort of way out, or else you’ll eventually end up suffering forever (what’s a trillion years to someone who will live for eternity?)
That’s good to know, I guess I’ll give it a try again.
20·2 months agoSoftware is free if you aren’t using it for commercial use. Fusion 360, onshape, etc. are all free for personal use. And that’s assuming someone didn’t make it already and share it free.
Filament costs $17 for 1kg of perfectly fine plastic. You’d probably use 100g at most for this, so $1.70.
A Bambu A1 mini is $200, and is a modern, high quality printer that would be fine for this project.
So you only need like a half dozen of these projects to come out ahead.
I’m using an old laptop with the lid closed. Uses 10w.
All in, including my router, switches, modem, laptop, and NAS, I’m using 50watts +/- 5.
It does everything I need, and I feel like that’s pretty efficient.
He has a great job, but still overspends because he wants to be seen as someone more than he is, and the only way he knows to prove his worth is by purchasing things. He can’t afford what he already has, and is relying on an uncertain bonus just to cover what he already spent.
The only time he really gets mad, is when his stuff gets broken or laughed at.
Well, if LTT is involved, then I probably want nothing to do with it.
VPN into your home lab isn’t about privacy, it’s more about reducing your exposed services to the public internet.
If you have only the ports needed to VPN back into your network, then the rest is hidden behind your router. You only need to fully secure one thing, instead of having to ensure that everything is 100% patched.
It’s not the only thing you should be doing, but it does help reduce the probability of a breach.
