So you are up against a non-five eyes state Actor, with non-NSA size budget but a decent army of hackers. What protects you better? One or two people running your instance as a hobby, or Zuck?

Oh, and please, -please-, even if you're going to route guest wifi traffic through the rest of your network [ but please don't do that! ] put the guest wifi network on a separate subnet.

Same with any BYOD nets. Keep them segregated. Do not mix them up with the rest of your wholly owned asset allocations.

Ok, folks?

If you only have a dozen assets on your network, do yourself a favor and give them either static IPs or permanent DHCP leases.

It'll make the whole task of asset management -ever- so much easier for you.

Random IP allocations - especially at short intervals - are foolish in the extreme for any permanent assets - that only belongs on guest wifi; nowhere else.

Did you know Node.js uses IEEE double (53-bit) to store an inode number (64-bit)? Well now you do. And if you ever wondered why I think Node.js is unsuitable for even basic usage and must be avoided for anything you intend to run in any capacity n>=0 times, here's another reason.

not having corporate accounts on mastodon is a feature not a bug

just in case someone read it later: the real question is not really technical but: How do you convince Katy Perry to join Mastodon and pay for a high-end instance and a full-time sysadmin and more CM when burdsite is free?

Was just realizing:

When I was a young pup, our public school system spent a fair bit of time teaching students how to effectively search a library.

Do current iterations teach students how to effectively craft a search query for various search engines and which engines are best for which queries?

Found this a while ago. If you think you want to code something in C, stop. You probably don't, unless you're a longtime C coder or have a good reason. Otherwise, use something else. So many Heisenbugs just from memory management.

But if you must code in C, or perhaps you want to learn, here's a great look at how to code in the latest standard.

Be warned, the path to the C has dragons and Heisenbugs and deep magic and great knowledge. It is not for the faint of heart.

> OSS needs FPGAs, and FPGAs need what programming had back in the 1980s: an on-ramp.
