I run PSKReporter (https://pskreporter.info) and https://weather.gladstonefamily.net

My day job is in computer security, so I'm happy to talk about any of these....
I think that the point is that *any* change that is made will affect people both positively and negatively. The trick is finding the right balance.

As you get older, things like font size and contrast become more important. Fancy menus in romantically lit restaurants are the worst!

Curb cuts, unfortunately, cause problems for the blind and visually impaired as it becomes less obvious when you are about to step into the road. The better cuts have bumps or ridges before you get to the road that can be detected by a blind person.

I *wish* that LinkedIn had a way of annotating each person with my reason for accepting an invite. I see all these people and I can't remember why I'm linked to them. For all I know, LinkedIn could be silently adding connections without my knowledge ☹️

Can you tell how many of them are patchable (i.e. not past end of support)?

In Carlisle, MA: 0.91" rain over the last 48 hours, and 0.13" the day before that. Why does the big rain always bypass us? Spotter #15-557

Or -- from #PSKReporter. I'm somewhat surprised by the FlightRadar display as it is showing some shadow in the north and the south at noon.

I have that data for almost 10 years and never got around to parsing it! I did spot check some spammers who thought that my (apparently) open SMTP forwarder was a good way to send spam. Unfortunately (for them), the only place it went was into pcap files in S3!

It should be working now... The errors have dropped off. The chart is in EST. Many thanks to the @sentry.io team for the monitoring.

This isn't enough! I'd add 1000ft of direct burial Cat6 as well.

My daughter (maybe aged 5) thought that I *worked* at Home Depot because I spent so much time there!

When I was at Cisco, I actually had to dig out an old minspec machine from my personal junk pile to test on. Pentium-133 with some appropriately small amount of RAM. Machine was a Gateway 2000 system and was probably was 12 years old at the time!

Actually no -- the lever moves side to side to control temperature, and up/down to control volume.

The magic of google lens revealed that its actual name is "High Arc Single-Handle Waterfall Bathroom Faucet with Spotless Finish" (but I don't want to link to it).
