A double play from Kiké Hernández to Miguel Rojas sealed the game for the Dodgers, while Toronto created traffic but came up empty, finishing 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

Navy vs North Texas might be an elimination game in the American Conference title chase, and it should be the most fun showdown of the day.

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

This is a problem that is facing a lot of different areas of tech right now. Decentralization is good for a lot of reasons, but it allows a whole new class of problems that we have not figured out how to deal with yet.
So... someone created an account impersonating me on a PeerTube instance and is uploading my videos in full there. Not cool. tube.govital.net/c/jeff_geerl...
Can't find a way to file a (perfectly valid, doubly so for impersonation) DMCA takedown, so I filed: github.com/Chocobozzz/P...

We want something that does something we need it to do, just works, and has good documentation.
I'm doing a lot of technical analysis these days and nothing raises red flags higher than the overuse of buzzwords to explain commodity technologies.
Boring technologies that just work are exciting. It means your customers can buy your product and move on to something else. Focus on that.

VPN vendors have huge budgets to advertise on your favorite podcasts.

Man-in-the-middle attacks on Public WiFi networks haven't been a realistic threat in a decade. Almost all websites use encryption by default, and anything of value uses HSTS to prevent attackers from downgrading / disabling encryption. It's a non issue.
