Cowboys TE looking to bounce back from historically horrible to new $70 million contract https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/cowboys/2025/06/05/cowboys-jake-ferguson-player-profile/84029202007/…

Useful.
I’ve always disliked the fact that SOHO NAT routers all seem to be configured with one of a handful of 192.168.*/24 subnets. Beyond the risk of collision, I’ve had the experience of being told vehemently by benighted customer “IT guys” that I’ve done something horribly wrong by setting their inside up on 10.175.202.0/23 or some similarly uncommon RFC1918 block, because they “knew” that it was supposed to be in the Class C range of RFC 1918.

Picking uncontested private IP subnets with usage data

My JS Krups is resisting netbooting. I see it doing a DHCP discover, and I see Kea responding with an offer, but then it just sends another Discover. Hmph. I can get to the serial console and doing boot net from there doesn't help; none of the keyboard shortcuts for network diag etc seem to work (except the one that displays the help for it...). So I took the flash SIM out and now it boots to Net rather than flash by default; alas with the same DHCP behaviour. Time to try isc-dhcp.…

Incidentally, just after you posted, author Greg Egan posted a conversation a different author had with an AI that is stunningly impressive until the end, which reveals that the AI text was thoroughly and fatally flawed in a horrible way, and it just lied.
It's long, but you could skim the beginning and then skim the end if you are time-limit…

What are the pros and cons of pinned vs finned heatsinks? I'm thinking specifically about rectangular pins like seen in my previous post (Wakefield-Vette 960 series).
Initial thoughts:
* Fins absolutely have to have airflow down their long axis. Square/round pins don't care, rectangular pins degrade but not horribly if you're oriented wrong
* Pins weigh less
* Fins have more surface area (at least, in the direction of airflow) in the same footprint
* …

I’ve read a lot of horrible news this last couple of years but this is maybe the worst? https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-05-28/ty-article-magazine/.premi…

Let's say you find a really cool forum online that has lots of good advice on it. It's even got a very active community that's happy to answer questions very quickly, and the community seems to have a wealth of knowledge about all sorts of subjects.
You end up visiting this community often, and trusting the advice you get to answer all sorts of everyday questions you might have, which before you might have found answers to using a web search (of course web search is now full of SEI spam and other crap so it's become nearly useless).
Then one day, you ask an innocuous question about medicine, and from this community you get the full homeopathy treatment as your answer. Like, somewhat believable on the face of it, includes lots of citations to reasonable-seeming articles, except that if you know even a tiny bit about chemistry and biology (which thankfully you do), you know that the homoeopathy answers are completely bogus and horribly dangerous (since they offer non-treatments for real diseases). Your opinion of this entire forum suddenly changes. "Oh my God, if they've been homeopathy believers all this time, what other myths have they fed me as facts?"
You stop using the forum for anything, and go back to slogging through SEI crap to answer your everyday questions, because one you realize that this forum is a community that's fundamentally untrustworthy, you realize that the value of getting advice from it on any subject is negative: you knew enough to spot the dangerous homeopathy answer, but you know there might be other such myths that you don't know enough to avoid, and any community willing to go all-in on one myth has shown itself to be capable of going all in on any number of other myths.

This has been a parable about large language models.
