In my Home Lab network I use my desktop for most of my development. Since it’s a desktop and not a server it abides by the power policy setting I have selected. This works great unless I’m working a remote session from anything else such as my laptop, cell, etc. My usual workflow is just an ssh session with tmux, where I wake up the system by issuing a Wake on LAN (wol) from an always on server. After the typical timeout around 30 mins the system goes to sleep which drops the session and forces

YouTube addresses lower view counts which seem to be caused by ad blockers

Over the past month or so, many YouTubers have been reporting major drops to their video view counts. Theories have run wild, but there’s one explanation involving ad blockers that makes the most sense, but YouTube isn’t confirming anything directly. Since mid-August, many YouTubers have noticed their view counts are considerably lower than they were before, in some cases with very drastic drops. The reason for the drop, though, has been shrouded in mystery for many creators. The most likely e

Last week, I wrote about how Joshua Aaron's ICEBlock app, which allows people to anonymously report ICE sightings within a 5-mile radius, is – unfortunately, and despite apparent good intentions – activism theater. This was based on Joshua's talk at HOPE where he made it clear that he isn't taking the advice of local community groups, that ICE sightings aren't verified in any way, and that he doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to security and privacy.

There won’t be any content crossover if a new animated Sherlock Holmes series—tentatively titled Animated Sherlock—gets off the ground, but the shared behind-the-scenes interests are there.
