Yes! I want this for MainStage -- this would allow me to automate my weekly template setup for playing at my church. Each week before practicing I look up the songs in Planning Center and create a new MainStage concert file with one patch per song, and add notes to each patch screen with the song's key, etc. Automating this would save me the time of doing the busy work and get right to practicing.
i love ublock origin and have used it for years. i recently migrated to macos and was disappointed to find that ublock origin doesn’t work with safari.
what’s the best ad-blocking option for safari on macos?
I saw that post too and immediately ordered the iFlash Solo adapter. Coincidentally I had just run across an iPod video in a drawer that wouldn't boot up... it was about a 20 minute project to replace the hard disk with the adapter and a big SD card, and the iPod is working great now!
Should you host your own email server? Yes! It’s a really fun learning project. There are tons of resources out there to make it do-able, so go for it!
Spam detection on my personal email server took a huge leap forward when I got Spamassassin correctly configured to use the DNS blocklists (URIBL, etc.). I had to set up a local DNS server because the blocklists weren't responding to requests coming via my hosting provider's DNS, and the scores had to be tweaked over a few weeks, but now it's working great. The content rules like "hi my dear", "request for money", and "all caps" are still in there, but the blocklists do the heavy
lifting.
Personally I have to be careful of this....it’s easy for me to focus so much on the solution that the problem is never even clearly articulated to the developers (who may have a better solution that I came up with once they grasp the problem).
I ran across an interesting essay on Medium recently on this topic, advocating a new approach to roadmaps focused on the problems: the problem roadmap. Instead of saying what new features the team will be working on in the future, map out what problems they’ll be working on.
This reminds me of the hours I spend poring over the Allmusic Guide to Rock I had borrowed from the local library, tracing backwards from Van Halen, Nirvana, and Beastie Boys to discover their influences. I had taken piano lessons for several years and had learned Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, and Debussy — sometimes tracing back led me to what I had learned on piano.
I agree that working backwards can lead to wonderful discoveries. What can be difficult to grasp as you go back is what the music sounded like at the time—how an album sounded because it was the first time musicians had made that sound.
Not sure I can advise on the best practice, but I know how NOT to do it: my buddy just told me that a family member spent untold hours digitizing decades of family photos and documents... all at a resolution of 1024x768. headdesk
Isn't their a fair distinction between an undocumented weakness ("back door") to which LEOs have access, and a provider providing a key ("front door") upon a lawful order, maintaining the strength of the encryption scheme?
It seems some believe that Comey is playing with semantics in order to obfuscate, or doesn't understand the argument he's making -- I don't.
This helps when your password is lost along with thousands / millions of other passwords in a breach -- attackers would be trying to re-use passwords programmatically in bulk and wouldn't detect your algorithm.
But if you were individually targeted i.e. a human attacker is looking at your password, your algorithm would provide access to many of your accounts with little effort.
I used to use this solution, btw, but have now gone to a unique, complex password per site with a password manager.
I have this exact problem: a couple dozen 2.4 Ghz APs are visible to me. Actual throughput at a distance of 6 feet from a 2.4 Ghz router is 1 Mbps (tested with multiple APs). I switched to 5 Ghz and luckily no one else has!
Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem for all devices -- for example, the Chromecast is 2.4 Ghz only. With the chromecast, I practically can't use the chromecast in a room other than the one that the AP is in. I was thrilled when the Amazon Fire TV Stick came out with 5 Ghz capability. This made it possible for me to stream Netflix, etc. to the tv in the other room.
