Since you have to opt into tracking to read the article (which I think is illegal) here's the source.

Wow, that's a terrible article. They just repeated three times that stuff fell into the sea, and the cruise ship is stuck for at least a day.

They implied the stuff fell off the cruise ship, but they don't actually say it.

They implied that the stuff was undeclared, but don't actually say it.

They don't actually say why the cruise ship is stuck. Are the containers blocking the ship from leaving? Are they stuck cause they had undeclared fruit and they need to be held for paperwork/questions? Are they held cause they're not sure if something else will fall from the ship?

I wouldn't be surprised if this article was entirely written by AI with no editing.

He mentions flicker several times in the video.

So... Don't let your cat go outside and devastate the wildlife.

If you're buying an annual plan, Mozilla resells Mullvad for cheaper. Monthly, buying direct is cheaper.

Also, I assume, but don't have any evidence, that buying from a reseller is a little more private due to separation of billing and services.

The point is, if the certificate gets stolen, there's no GOOD mechanism for marking it bad.

If your password gets stolen, only two entities need to be told it's invalid. You and the website the password is for.

If an SSL certificate is stolen, everyone who would potentially use the website need to know, and they need to know before they try to contact the website. SSL certificate revocation is a very difficult communication problem, and it's mostly ignored by browsers because of the major performance issues it brings having to double check SSL certs with a third party.

Don't discard a good technique cause it can be implemented poorly.

Someone in their 30's will significantly change their worldview over the next 50+ years.

More than anything else, the church wants stability. If you elect someone in the last part of their life, you'll have a much better idea of what ideology their entire papacy is going to be formed under.

If electing a pope was only for 4, 10, or even 20 years, it would be more reasonable to elect a younger pope, but as it is a lifetime appointment, someone older is always going to be a more conservative option.

Walked a friend through a build a month or so ago and actually ended up being cheaper buying from Frame.Work instead of from anywhere else at the time.

I bought my first TiVo back in... 2002?

I had to use my work landline to do the initial setup, but then I used a USB Ethernet jack for the rest. You had to do some fancy remote secret code, but it worked just fine.

Also was able to use disc mirroring to make a new, much larger, hard drive, so we could record essentially unlimited TV.

 

Plex has notified some of its users on Thursday to urgently update their media servers due to a recently patched security vulnerability.

The company has yet to assign a CVE-ID to track the flaw and didn't provide additional details regarding the patch, only saying that it impacts Plex Media Server versions 1.41.7.x to 1.42.0.x.
