Now that money will eventually be spent on a different EV brand.

If you’re in the USA and lease instead of buy, there’s a few decent EVs you can get for <$300/month with $0 down, like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6. Check the deals on https://pnd.leasehackr.com/.

I’d recommend leasing EVs instead of buying them. Depreciation is pretty bad, mostly due to the fact that the technology is changing/improving quite quickly, and the fact that people don’t really want to deal with the battery after the warranty expires.

It’s ambiguous - is the “subway shooting” referring to the police shooting, or were the police responding to a separate shooting, and someone involved in that shooting also had a knife?

had its own built in lock with a unique key

Is this a common thing? I’m Aussie so I have no idea about guns.

User agents are essentially deprecated and are going to become less and less useful over time. The replacement is either client hints or feature detection, depending on what you’re using it for.

Most developers just write their own feature checks (a lot of detections are just a single line of code) or use a library that polyfills the feature if it’s missing.

The person you’re replying to is right, though. Modernizr popularized this approach. It predates npm, and npm still isn’t their main distribution method, so the npm download numbers don’t mean anything.

That’s exactly what you’re supposed to do with the modern web, via feature detection and client hints.

The user agent in Chrome (and I think Firefox too) is “frozen” now, meaning it no longer receives any major updates.

What a word salad of a headline. Did the officers wound the four that got wounded? Did the man with the knife wound them? Was the man with the knife involved with the shooting at all? Really confusing.

That really depends on the company. At big tech companies, it’s common for the levels and salary bands to be the same for both generalists (or full stack or whatever you want to call them) and specialists.

It also changes depending on market conditions. For example, frontend engineers used to be in higher demand than backend and full-stack.

I use a wildcard cert in some places, but most of them are individual certs. You can have multiple ACME DNS challenges on a single domain, for example _acme-challenge.first.int.example.com and _acme-challenge.second.int.example.com for first.int.example.com and second.int.example.com respectively.

The DNS challenge just makes you create a TXT record at that _acme-challenge subdomain. Let’s Encrypt follows CNAMES and supports IPv6-only DNS servers, so I’m using some software called “acme-dns” to run a DNS server specifically for ACME DNS challenges. It’s just listening on a IPv6 in one of my VPS /64 IPv6 range.

IMO it’s easiest to just use a real domain for your local network. For example, I use subdomains of int.example.com, where example.com is my blog.

Then, you can get Let’s Encrypt or ZeroSSL certificates for all the hosts. Systems do not need to be accessible over the internet - you can use an ACME DNS challenge instead of a HTTP one. Use something like certbot or acme.sh and renewals will be automated.

The only cost is for one domain, and some TLDs are less than $5/year. Check tld-list.com and sort by renewal price, not registration price (as some are only cheap for the first year).

Hot take: If you don’t like ads, then don’t use services/sites that are funded by ads?

I like using Sriracha, or peri-peri sauce from Nando’s or Trader Joe’s.

Very popular in the Netherlands.

the scroll wheel can tilt to scroll sideways

I use these for switching tabs in browsers/IDEs by remapping them to Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab using Input Remapper

I’m just glad that KDE now has an option to disable pasting using the middle mouse button (mousewheel click). Only available on Wayland though - AFAIK this behaviour is deeply rooted in X11 and it’s not easy to disable it.

Your data really isn’t worth that much.

Also, it’s a common misconception that large tech companies like Google and Meta sell your data. They don’t. The data is what makes the company valuable - they’re not going to give away their competitive advantage. Instead, advertisers can target people based on the data. The advertisers never actually see the data nor exactly who their ads are reaching (it’s just aggregate anonymized data).

On Google and Facebook, even individuals can use the same tools that large advertisers use to list their ads, and see exactly what they see.

And make sure it’s a VPN that supports port forwarding. Sharing is caring.

or just use Usenet.

I don’t even understand why they still exist. What value do they even add? Having to compare prices across several dealerships, then try to get them to beat each other’s prices, is a massive pain.

I was test driving a Polestar 3 a while back. They have stores where you can look at their cars, test drive them, and ask questions, but all purchasing is done online. No sales pressure at all in their store.

In my area, we have a small landfill bin, a larger recycling bin, and an even larger compost bin, all collected weekly. We have to put all food scraps in the compost. They also take greasy cardboard (pizza boxes, etc) in the compost. The compost is handled at a local composting center and residents can go there and get the resulting processed compost for free to use in their gardens :)

Oh, I didn’t realise (I don’t use it). Thanks for the info.
