Low voter turnout benefits Republicans.
It’s easier to prevent people from voting against you than it is to convert people to vote for you.
The game plan is to ensure chaos continues for the next few weeks until the election, in the hopes that people will be too busy trying to survive than to vote.
Part of it is the community. I really like the OpenWRT community, but it’s harder to engage with them when you run a downstream distribution.
But also I’m a bit of a hacker (in the traditional sense). I like to experiment with custom builds of OpenWRT. (And FWIW, their build system uses the same menuconfig as Linux.)
I love my Turris Omnia!
I got the one with the WiFi 6 card. The cool thing is that you can easily open it up and replace parts.
I run the upstream OpenWRT rather than the customized version by Turris. They are good about submitting patches upstream.
TL;DR - We can now control swappiness per cgroup instead of just globally. This is something that userspace oom killers will want to use.
Motorola has been in the tracker game since way before Air Tags.
I remember getting a Bluetooth tracker with my Moto X circa 2014. Back when Tile dominated the market.
Someone told me that Goldeneye actually supported dual stick controls if you plugged in two controllers. And Perfect Dark is the same engine.
I need to try that out on real hardware…

The article says all phones Android 9 and up are in on the network.
But I was under the impression that enrollment in the network was still rolling out? Anyone have details on the current state?
To me, this just sounds like the network isn’t rolled out fully yet (or that NYC residents don’t use Android, which seems suspect) rather than a failing of the device itself.
This is a good book on how Google treats production environments at their scale.
Cattle, not pets.
Google operates on a trunk model, according to this:
The entire TotT series is pretty good.
I assume it will still be possible to enable the APIs with adb.
So this will mostly affect users in that in-between skill level where they know how to use a third-party app store (or how to download and install apps from a file browser) but don’t know how to use adb. I’m not so sure how big that segment is. Probably pretty small.
For the group of users who are tech-illiterate (the common case), this is actually a very welcome change for malware prevention.
I was confused by what a FIT actually is. To clarify,
From the article:
A Flat Image Tree is the compiled Linux kernel paired with the associated DeviceTree content that is compressed and easily then distributed and executed by capable bootloaders.
From the ARM OSS Wiki:
During the Linux boot process, a “Device Tree Blob” (DTB) file is loaded into memory by U-Boot / UEFI, and a pointer to it is passed to the kernel. This DTB file describes the system’s hardware layout to the Linux kernel, allowing for platform-specific code to be moved out of the kernel sources and replaced with generic code that can parse the DTB and configure the system as required.
And my example of knowing critical systems for the web written in Python is somehow different from your argument?
What a joke
You have no idea. Python (and Ruby) are used widely in the industry. Large parts of YouTube are written in Python, and large parts of GitHub are written in Ruby. And every major tech company is using Python in their offline data pipelines.
I know of systems critical to the modern web that are written in Python.
Dynamic typing is not a fad.
Python is older than Java, older than me. It is still going strong.
That’s not “source available” because the software is not released through a source code distribution model.
Companies may have access in order to produce better drivers or handle security incidents, but those are back-room deals, not part of Windows’ distribution model.
I didn’t think the Windows source is widely available, only the compiled form.
.Net core is open source though.
That’s exactly what I’m hinting at.
My hypothesis is that this is, in fact, the case.
Maybe the reps aren’t thinking this deliberately, but I suppose some in R strategy has realized this. They can tell the reps something simple like “FEMA response is likely to be bad for us in the election,” and the reps can be willfully ignorant, refusing to consider the consequences of their inaction.
