09:02 schestowitz[TR];

09:02 schestowitz[TR]; This isnt just any games console; its a dual-screen tabletop arcade that allows you to stare down your opponent as your on-screen alter ego Hadoukens them right in the face. No, chest. Hadouken is a chest-height move, right? Well, anyway. It was always a fluke of maniacally mashed buttons whenever I managed to pull it off.

09:03 schestowitz[TR];

09:03 schestowitz[TR]; This is a custom RC car created by Savall21 using a Tamiya TT-02 kit and a resin 3D-printed body shell. The controller/transmitter is a Jumper T18, which has a customizable touchscreen interface. Savall21 programmed his own widget for that touchscreen. It mimics the fictional KITT control panel and lets the user select different sound effects and activate the iconic headlights. The T18 send

09:03 schestowitz[TR]; s commands to an FrSky XR8 radio receiver located in the car.

09:03 schestowitz[TR];

09:03 schestowitz[TR]; On a recent episode of Youre Wrong About, Sarah Marshall delivered a crisp summary of how the 24-hour news cycle came to be. This led me to realize that many among us do not remember when news was confined to time slots: the 7 oclock news, the 11 oclock news, the morning paper. I think it might be healthy to bring that back in some form. From the excitement I heard in their voices I gather

09:03 schestowitz[TR]; that Sarah Marshall and her co-presenter Blair Braverman feel the same way. When I hear people complain about Mastodons lack of breaking news, I think: Feature, not bug! Maybe what the 24-hour cycle has been breaking is us.

09:09 schestowitz[TR]; wOur story thus far is here. Tl;dr: I looked at a bunch of monospace fonts and recommended a few. The piece went kind of nuts, way past 50K views as I write this, and a flood of comments here and on YCombinator, nearly all of which took the form of You left out my favorite font, which is X! So I harvested 14 values of X, and lets have a look at them! Ive enjoyed this little project enou

10:18 schestowitz[TR];

10:18 schestowitz[TR]; What first looked like some CPU oddity in a monitoring graph became a full-fledged hunt for a bitcoin miner. Figuring out what happened and how they were operating is part of the investigation. Collecting evidence to make a case soon became akin to a detective story.

10:18 schestowitz[TR]; Read on to find out how we approached this from the sysadmin point-of-view and what was learned from the experience.

13:21 schestowitz[TR]; He probably "Extended" the date to make it look like he wasn't unemployed. Very typical.
