I barely use PHP these days, but Docker seems like a great place to put it.

My daughter has Kinoite set up for her boyfriend's grandparents. It's immutable, so there's not much damage they can do without admin access, and she made it look much like Windows. They were already doing everything with Firefox as it was, so it wasn't a huge transition for them.

She did go back to fix things because the grandma managed to delete the printer, and she said that the downloads folder was full of exe files with sketchy names.

I'm with you on the macOS stability in the past. The thing that gets me is that Windows somehow gets a pass in this regard, but there have been some pretty big changes over the years.

The Canadians that I know who have been living in the USA are all making plans to or have already returned to Canada. Some of them have been here for 20+ years, became American Citizens, the whole deal. And now they just want to get off the crazy train.

I have to imagine that their sentiment is not unique.

Walnuts, apples, and grapes all grow where I live. I was going to suggest that they might go for apples and walnuts if there was no other choice, but they left them there for days. The squirrels would eventually find the walnuts, but nobody (except the ants and hornets) would go for the apples.

If I ever move out of the suburbs into a place more remote / with more land, I'm definitely feeding crows again.

My neighbors used to have a wooden fence, and I was outside and saw a robin with its leg wedged and stuck between the slats. The robin was terrified of me, so I put on some leather gloves and gently dislodged it and released the bird, while it was trying to peck at my fingers. For the rest of the summer, if I was outside, a robin would follow me around the yard and sing to me. I don't know if it was the same bird or not, but I like to think that it was. :-)

The ones that I had came with Buffalo firmware but you could load DD-WRT on them through the web ui. To load OpenWrt you had to use tftp and catch it during boot.

I ended up adding support for the G300NH2 model for OpenWrt.

Ages ago you could download binaries for Buffalo routers (g300nh / g300nh2) and flash it through the web ui. If you tried to build those images yourself, though, it would fail at the final step because the signing tools / keys were only in the possession of BrainSlayer / Sebastian. Other platforms relied on binary blobs for wlan drivers, and things like that.

Out of the two of them DD-WRT is more "hacky" and duct-taped together, while OpenWrt is more "pure". This can mean that DD-WRT feels more feature complete at times.

Only half?

The staff at Harris Teeter in Corolla NC (the outer banks) has been nearly 100% young adults from eastern European countries the last few times that I was down there.

I don't know their living situation, but I did see them both walking and riding bikes to the grocery store. It's a somewhat unique situation as the grocery store probably does 90% of their yearly business between June and August each year. I couldn't tell if they all knew each other from home or just from working together.

Do you mean that you are surprised that young Americans aren't working at the boardwalk in the USA or that young Americans are not working at the beaches in Europe?

Man, ours is just '\0'.

That's why I was asking if it was an older model initially.

In a perfect world, yes, but this is a for-profit company and there's almost zero repercussion for doing it half-assed. They'd have to pay someone to implement it, and deal with the overhead and complexity.

Now they are in a position where they can sell new models with enhanced encryption and more features.

Why? Does Flock really care about encryption? It checks off a box for their sales team, even if it's done poorly.

You can achieve 50MiB/s if that's all that you're doing. I've worked with some DSPs (TI's DaVinci line) where some operations would abort if DDR was overwhelmed.

For example, passing a frame of video (YUV) into the peripheral which can resize the overall image, would fail if the system was busy with other DMA transfers. You could attempt to resize again, but there were no guarantee that it would complete successfully. Your options are to reduce overall DDR utilization or drop frames. In an application like Flock's, dropping frames is likely something they need to avoid.

The system in question is doing similar tasks, and I don't think that what I'm suggesting is out of the question.
