I’ve heard of all sorts of issues with my fiber ISP (Verizon Fios) rolling out IPv6. It’s been years that they’ve been slowly rolling it out for testing in a few places. There’s virtually no useful documentation on their website about it. And it’s still not available where I am.
My understanding is that the lava house became an attraction more than a personal home. Folks would hike in there to stay a few days, B&B style, to get married there, etc.
They did that in Hawaii decades ago when Kīlauea covered Chain of Craters road and others.
Kīlauea said “Fuck that” and covered the roads again and again, along with entire neighborhoods. The Hawaiians just let it all go back to nature now. You can drive roughly 10 miles of Chain of Craters Road now, which is in Volcanoes National Park, until it ends very much like the road in this picture.
Speaking of Kīlauea, you might be interested in reading about Jacks Lava House which survived for years as the entire neighborhood around it was reclaimed by the volcano. It was eventually reclaimed by Kīlauea as well about a decade ago.
Doesn’t prevent Amazon from occasionally sticking smaller packages in our mailbox…
My only problem is our driveway is 700 feet long, uphill & through trees. I seriously doubt my WiFi reaches it…
‘21 Model Y long range. Overall it drives well, and the supercharger network is really nice. We took it on a trip up & down a good portion of the east coast last year and never had any issues charging it. We have a couple 30 lb dogs that love going for rides, so things like dog mode are really nice as well.
Things I really do not like:
Pretty much all of these are reasons why I refuse to even try FSD and discourage others from using it. About the only way I’ll give it another chance is if a truly independent third party tests it and says all these issues have been resolved.
I admit I own a Tesla. Given all the recent erratic behavior:
About the only way I’ll change either of these will be for Elon to step down and completely remove himself from any control over Tesla. But I don’t see that happening and I certainly won’t be holding my breath.
It was definitely a bucket list sort of thing for me. The trip from the northeast US absolutely sucks (20+ hours in the air) but for 3 weeks there it was worth it.
Go visit the South Island and virtually every local has stories about the filming of LotR. A huge number of them were hired by the production in one way or another, from being extras to providing horses to helping dress all those extras & horses to catering all those people etc.
I’ve had my identity stolen multiple times over the years and had everything from fraudulent tax returns filed to get refunds, to credit cards taken out in my name. I was one of the victims of the federal governments Office of Personnel Management data breach 10 years ago (think the HR department for the entire US Federal Government). That resulted in me getting what amounts to free ID/credit monitoring with a really good company for the rest of my life. They send me alerts similar to this one fairly often, and it’s also next to useless. My guess is it’s based on lists of usernames & passwords stolen from websites and offered for sale by scammers. It’s not uncommon for those types of lists to have been collected from multiple websites, and merged into one giant list since lots of people still use the same password everywhere. So there’s likely no way of knowing what website a given set of credentials came from.
As for the masking of the email address, seeing that different monitoring services are doing the same exact thing it makes me wonder if either these are all coming from the same third party service, or if there’s some sort of law/regulation that is requiring them to mask it…
Yeah I know about that trick. I’ve run into problems using that in the past because the + notation isn’t universally supported, and also some companies sell their customer lists to other companies. I forget the specific details because it happened years ago now, but I found one of my + addresses signed up to a mailing list I didn’t want to be on. The form used to unsubscribe from that list considered the + an invalid character, so I couldn’t unsubscribe. As I recall it took a week or so of emails to various contacts at that company to get me unsubscribed.
Besides, it wouldn’t help at all in this particular case. Look at the screenshot. It’s redacting everything in the email address before the @, so I still wouldn’t know which one they are referring to.
My email address is literally registered on dozens of websites. I use a different completely random password, generated by a password manager, on every one of those sites. How would I know which website and which password was compromised based on this message?
It’s not H2O. It’s H3O!
Our house has 5 heating & 2 AC zones that I installed Ecobee thermostats on. Three rooms also have skylights that can be opened. When we open the skylights the thermostats all turn off, and when closed they turn them back on to the mode they were previously set to.
Our house is set back in the woods on a long driveway. When either me or my wife arrives home after dark all the driveway / walkway lights turn on. And when we’re both away they all turn off.
I also have a “bedtime” button on my phone that turns off all the lights, locks the doors, turns off our WiFi speakers, puts all the Ecobees into sleep mode, etc.
I use .home for my home network…
Thanks! Nice picture!
Which George’s Island? I know a couple but don’t recognize this light.
The company I work for is mainly an internet presence with a valuation in excess of $100 million. The number of emails we get offering somewhere around $5000 for our domain name is absurd…
Lousy Smarch weather…
I don’t understand why Cloudflare gets bashed so much over this… EVERY CDN out there does exactly the same thing. It’s how CDN’s work. Whether it’s Akamai, AWS, Google Cloud CDN, Fastly, Microsoft Azure CDN, or some other provider, they all do the same thing. In order to operate properly they need access to unencrypted content so that they can determine how to cache it properly and serve it from those caches instead of always going back to your origin server.
My employer uses both Akamai and AWS, and we’re well aware of this fact and what it means.
