It also doesn't help that the craft beer scene turned into a competition to push the most over the top bitter IPAs possible. A lot of the appeal of craft beer went away for me when 3/4 of the taps became unremarkable IPAs. A good IPA is wonderful, but the vast majority of what you run into isn't that.

It's only marginally more interesting than when the landscape was dominated by lagers.

vi isn't a text editor as much as it's a text manipulation language.

It has a syntax, grammar, idioms, and, yes, a learning curve.

But once you learn it, it's as close to a brain-computer interface as I've experienced. You start thinking about edits as chainable operations and it literally becomes muscle memory -- if you ask someone experienced with vi how they just did a complex sequence of edits, chances are they'll have to stop and consciously walk through it because they literally didn't have to think about it the first time.

You're being downvoted but you're right. Right wing groups have been calling for a constitutional convention for years because they know they'd have outsized influence on it.

A constitutional convention isn't "let's tackle this narrow issue," it puts everything on the table. It'd be a disaster with the current makeup of the states.

Healthcare is consistently the most targeted industry for these types of attacks and it's an industry where both vendors have traditionally had very lax security postures and where IT tends to be severely understaffed and underfunded since executives have viewed it as a non-core cost center.

In reality, hospitals are extremely data heavy organizations these days, but the people running them have been extremely slow to recognize and embrace this fact. It's going to take a very long time for most healthcare organizations to get up to modern security standards and practices.

I feel the same about frozen lasagna. Either my wife, myself or both of us can spend hours in the kitchen making a good lasagna recipe and it doesn't taste much better than a store bought frozen one that didn't take any work.

Speak for yourself on that one. I can do a home made lasagna that's far better than anything that's available mass produced and frozen.

But I'm still gonna bake a Stouffer's most of the time because it's way less work.

Cite NIST SP 800-63B.

Verifiers SHOULD NOT impose other composition rules (e.g., requiring mixtures of different character types or prohibiting consecutively repeated characters) for memorized secrets. Verifiers SHOULD NOT require memorized secrets to be changed arbitrarily (e.g., periodically). However, verifiers SHALL force a change if there is evidence of compromise of the authenticator.

I've successfully used it to tell auditors to fuck off about password rotation in the healthcare space.

Now, to be in compliance with NIST guidelines, you do also need to require MFA. This document is what federal guidelines are based on, which is why you're starting to see Federal gov websites require MFA for access.

Either way, I'd highly encourage everyone to give the full document a read through. Not enough people are aware of it and this revision was shockingly reasonable when it came out a year or two ago.

And, based on recent events in Crimea, may be of limited effectiveness in any future conflict.

The HA SkyConnect does Zigbee and will eventually add Matter support. Z-wave needs a separate dongle, though.

I've literally been in the process of migrating all my Home Automation from SmartThings to HA over the past couple of weeks. I have a mix of Zigbee, Z-wave, and WiFi devices. The HA side has honestly been easier to set up than SmartThings was in the first place.

I've also been working on getting some cameras set up with Frigate and Coral object recognition. That part has been more involved, but I'm pretty happy with the functionality so far.

I've definitely been happy with my decision years ago to stick to devices using standard local protocols. Has made the whole process far less painful than it could have been.

Funny enough, one of the few things I have that uses a proprietary hub/app are my Hue bulbs -- they were my first dip into home automation a decade ago. I haven't ditched the Hue hub quite yet, but moves like this definitely make me more inclined to.

The huge benefit of Kagi is that they allow you to customize results and blacklist SEO spam or deprioritize sites you don't care about in your results. Out of the box, I've had a similar experience with the results being very similar to DDG, though. Over time, I suspect it'd be a better overall experience, but that's hard to judge in 100 searches.

I've been on the fence whether that's worth the cost to me, but I've been increasingly leaning toward biting the bullet.

Elon nearly took out both himself and Peter Thiel by rolling his uninsured McClaren F1 trying to show off during the PayPal days.

What could have been.

Wasn't this one where they just outright invented 'facts' wholesale?
