I did the MCU Movie Re-Watch again this year in preparation for Avengers: Endgame. I wasn’t a huge MCU fan before doing the same re-watch for Infinity War, but after that I became one. For fun I tried to rank the movies as I saw them, this is some sort of accounting my rankings...

DEF CON

I’m sitting in the airport in Las Vegas on the way back from DEF CON 15. It’s the first time I’ve been at the con, and it wasn’t really what I expected. Frankly, I walked away feeling kinda underwhelmed. Very few of the talks were as technical as I was hoping – they were almost...

A Game Boy is the worst and best option for a car’s dash

from Arduino Blog [alt+shift+b] in technology

5 months ago
If your car was made in the last decade, its dash probably has several displays, gauges, and indicator lights. But how many of those do you actually look at on a regular basis? Likely only one or two, like the speedometer and gas gauge. Knowing that, John Sutley embraced...

What home NAS builders should understand about silent data corruption

from Louwrentius [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Introduction When it comes to dealing with storage in a DIY NAS context, two important topics come up: Unrecoverable read errors (UREs) or what old people like me call 'bad sectors' Silent data corruption (data corruption unnoticed by the storage layers) I get a strong impression...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
