Tip of the Zoidberg? The yeti one.

Thanks for doing this. I want to see more.

I like the fourth or the last one since it encourages all other error responses to follow a similar standard. That will allow the client to have a reusable error model and error checking.

I’ve had to use APIs where every response was 200 ok with json, 400 bad request with pain text that said unauthorized, or a 500 error that returned an HTML error page. The worst.

Thanks for the giveaway. I’d like to enter for Hogwarts legacy.

I’ve been playing around with running AI image gen and LLM locally because the tech is cool. Pretty entertaining what you can do with it, but I haven’t posted any of what I’ve generated. Seems to be a good skill to learn as well. Was good motivation to upgrade my RAM from 16G to 32G. Tomorrow, I’m upgrading to 64G.

Instructions unclear. Baby is now a werewolf and howls loudly when Kodi is buffering.

I’ve had eggs easily last a month past the best buy date in the fridge. If you try the water freshness test, check the yolk shape and color, it should be fine. The yolk shape should still be normal, the older eggs will want to flatten out a bit at which point I wouldn’t want to eat them.

I’ll also recommend the type c.

From article.

Downfall, a fan expansion for the popular Slay the Spire indie strategy game, was breached on Christmas Day to push Epsilon information stealer malware using the Steam update system. … "The breach window was roughly 1:30 PM-2:30 PM Eastern (1830-1930 UTC+0) on 12/25. If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 during the breach window and got a Unity library installer popup, please continue to read. You may be also at risk…

I personally wouldn’t use raidz1 because it seems too risky to me. I’d have higher redundancy.

The last link is talking about actual raid and not zfs. But it has a 50/50 chance with a URE rate of 10^14 to lose the array. Raidz1 maybe won’t have that catastrophic of a failure, but you’d still be rolling the dice on some corruption.

Other people gave a good explanation of raid and some alternatives like zfs in truenas.

You want to avoid RAID5 with drives above 4TB. Every hard drive has can have an unrecoverable read error (URE) during the read. It’s a very low percentage change that your hard drive publishes. During a raid 5 rebuild after replacing a drive, the other drives are stressed for a long time during the rebuild. With high capacity drives you have a pretty large chance of encountering a URE and losing the entire array. The high stress on the drives can also cause drive failure if another drive was on its way out.

I run truenas core at home in volumes that looks like raid 10. Two mirror volumes striped together for performance.

I never played around with raidz1 (like raid 5) but you still have the chance of an URE during the resilver. I can’t comment if it’s possible or what happens during an error. I did see people recommending raidz2 to allow for two disc failures from losing data during a resilver.

I don’t think I’ve used any cleaner product since the Windows XP days. I don’t view it as necessary anymore.

One of the other programs to see file size on disk recommended on this thread should be enough.

I would highly recommend O&O ShutUp10++ to reduce built in spying in Windows. It’s good at explaining what each option you’re doing is. The only thing I would caution on is changing the Edge browser policies with O&O. That will lock it down into enterprise mode and you won’t be able to change certain settings through the UI anymore.

“While we have not seen direct evidence that the threat actor is using this list to launch phishing attacks against support system users,” the company said to customers, “phishing attacks are a constant threat.” Okta, which manages user authentication services for thousands of corporate clients, didn’t immediately provide comment.

Okta’s shares plunged last month after the San Francisco-based company disclosed that hackers had used a stolen credential to access its support system. At the time, a company spokesman estimated that about 184 clients, representing roughly 1% of the Okta’s customers, were affected. It wasn’t the first time Okta had been breached. The company disclosed last year that a hacking group had broken into its system after the gang posted screenshots that appeared to show access to Okta accounts.

The company said in its letter to customers that a recent audit found more data was stolen than it initially thought, prompting it to revise its findings. The firm also discovered that some Okta employee information was included in stolen reports, according to the customer notice reviewed by Bloomberg.

The customer report contained fields for customer user names, company names and mobile phone numbers, Okta said, while noting that the majority of the fields were blank and didn’t include credentials or sensitive personal data. For more than 99% of customers listed in the report, Okta said, the only contact information stolen were full names and email addresses.

Okta is scheduled to report earnings on Wednesday. The company said in its notice to customers that it would publicly disclose the new details on the same day.

Some good recommendations in this thread. You should give the following a try.

• Woodford Reserve Wheated. It’s very smooth and I think it’s the best value for money you can get. This is my personal favorite right now
• Michters Small Batch. Good and robust flavor
• Weller. If you can find it, but you probably won’t.
• Angels Envy is very good and smooth
• Four Roses Small Batch
• Penelope Toasted is alright. I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t wow value for the price. It’s a good bourbon though
• 1792 is good.
• Rabbit Hole is good
• Blade and Bow is good

Blanton’s is very good at MSRP, but it’s hard to find at a good price and the second hand market value is pretty high.

I’m interested to see what hosted options are out there as well.

If you’re willing to consider alternatives, take a look at Greenshot. It’s a free and open source local program that takes a screenshot which allows you to edit it directly and copy the image to clipboard without saving.

It includes the ability to add text, blur out parts, crop, draw arrows. Just press print screen to capture an image.

I would never use a soft touch car wash. At best it’s going to put small micro scratches in the paint. At worst it’s going to put actual scratches in the paint.
