I have high hopes for Epic's free game of the week. -
Would love to hear feedback from someone who gets their hands on one.@scanner Thanks. In fact, we have:
Telco modem=>Eero base=>cat5 switch for wired devices, e.g. Synology & Mac Mini
The Eero is smart enough to negotiate UPNP with the telco modem so it all Just Works. Hmmm… -

Q: Is it weird to have 3x MMCX antenna connectors? What's the scenario?
Q: We have an Eero mesh that sets up UPNP for remote access to Eero admin and Plex. Would that still work?
Q: For typical home use, you'd plug the 2.5G powered Ethernet into a boring basic 5x switch or some such for distribution around the house, right?Miah Johnson (@[email protected])
Oooh The Designed by, and Powered by OpenWRT router is now out! https://liliputing.com/openwrt-one-wifi-6-router-is-now-available-for-89/ $89 and $10 of every order goes directly to the OpenWRT project! Hope to see some folks get these and post reviews soon! (I'll order one as soon as I can afford to)

Good point.@yume Right, but on the Mac the Secure Enclave is a basic part of the security posture, no?
-
Good point.@yume I thought the Mac's security claims were stronger than that, with the Secure Enclave and so on?

Good point.Good point. I only remember 2 passwords: Password manager and computer. Normally a conservative analysis would assume password leaked in hashed form and cracked offline. But on my Mac, if I understand correctly, the risk of leakage should be zero-ish, no?
Jamie McCarthy (@[email protected])
@[email protected] I can’t really answer this without knowing the plausible attack vectors. My answer for a password someone can try to brute force offline, with as much compute as they could throw at it, is very different from a password I can assume the attacker only has rate-limited web attempts at, or one where attempts go through my phone’s secure enclave.

Smart take from @gruber on the removal of VPN apps from Apple Store in Russia, following on government demand. One conclusion highlighted, but read the whole thing: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2024/10/02/russia-app-store-vpnsSmart take from @gruber on the removal of VPN apps from Apple Store in Russia, following on government demand.

iOS is a fabulous platform but I have refused, since the App Store launch in 2008, to work on any apps, because I decline to build software which a platform owner can prevent me from sharing with the world. I have regretted that decision exactly zero times these last 18 years.

@simon quotes Sinofsky: “But if you think functional AI helping to code will make humans dumber or isn’t real programming just consider that’s been the argument against every generation of programming tools going back to Fortran.”@simon @billjings Hey Simon, do you get it to generate unit tests too? Any repository I manage disallows code check-in unless there is excellent coverage…

Assume that there is at least one password that you need to be strong and need to remember & type not-infrequently. How many characters is enough for you to feel comfortable in 2024? Assume any char you can type easily is available.
[May need a follow-up poll if the majority is at >=12]

The IDF spokesperson is saying people can leave their shelters now? Is there no third wave of missiles?@Alon Is it correct to think that the real peril to Israel isn't anything Iran could launch, it’s Hez launching thousands per day for a week or so?

Because it would be good if Israel decides it can't simultaneously support settler pogrom culture, slaughter thousands of innocents while chasing the dregs of Hamas, and defend its land borders.

I guess Pete was kind of an asshole, but I’m old enough to have been a fan when he was active, and no other baseball player has ever been that much fun to watch. It’s not close.@robpike Johnny was cool, but not even the coolest catcher; that'd be Thurman Munson.
