The main problem with OP's experience is that the AI response has absolutely nothing to do with the search results and is functioning purely as a chatbot.

Well I'll be. It does seem that the ability to get the subnet mask is present in the beta version of Dart, so hopefully this will be resolved.

Are you sure? That would be a bizarre limitation. It seems much more likely there's something else going on where it's not working

New comment by justusthane in "Wax motor"

justusthane — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:22:50 +0000

From the linked page:

> When a cycle is started, a wax motor is actuated pushing a pin outward and locking the door. This design has cost, reliability and safety advantages. In moist conditions a wax motor costs less for equivalent reliability than an electromagnetic solenoid or motor latch. It has a predictable passive release delay. If power is lost the door remains briefly locked, designed to be longer than the high speed spin cycle coast-down time, then reliably unlocks as the wax cools.

New comment by justusthane in "A CVE Dispute"

justusthane — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 13:31:29 +0000

> I really appreciate this attitude towards this because it recognizes that there are a lot of security teams out there that don't take a nuance view of CVEs

This is true, but also: needless CVEs place a burden even on security teams who do take a nuanced view of CVEs - it requires some amount of effort to evaluate every CVE and determine whether it's applicable or not.

Same. I don't get motion sick, and this made me feel uneasy. It would make my wife motion sick instantly. It's an interesting concept though, and I can see the utility of it.

The author’s take on this in the Mitigations section makes sense to me:

> Remove the timeout, and a legitimately stuck core hangs the platform on the first SMI. Increase the timeout, and you kill performance on many-core platforms that are forced to quiesce all cores every SMM entry. It's not clear what the best path forward is, or if there is even a path forward at all.

When someone says "I nearly had a heart attack," it's _highly_ unlikely that they actually nearly had a heart attack. I don't think the chances are good that anyone actually had a heart attack.

I really worry about AI leading to the information death of the internet. If everyone is getting their info from AI, rather than actually reading websites/blogs/forums, is there any incentive for posting things like this on the internet in the first place?

justusthane — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:39:13 +0000

Apologies for my tardy response. I tried it and am disappointed to report that it does not, in fact, "just work", but migration is easy anyway - there's a "File to DB graph" import option. Point it at your existing Logseq folder and it sucks the content into a new graph.

I agree that the migration path should be clearly documented.

This is a minor nit, but why is OP's script a Python script with a .sh extension? I know the extension doesn't "matter", but if I see a .sh extension I'm expecting a Bash script.

I would assume that it “just works”. I’ll try it tomorrow and report back.

I’ve found croc to be more reliable than MW in across different network architectures — croc has worked in places where MW has not. I’m not sure why.

> then suggested I did get hired for my cybersecurity expertise, that I do take my obligations seriously, and he could just ask me to do whatever they were planning to do from the MDM console, and it would get done. He insisted that wouldn't be necessary since in his worldview the MDM was unbreakable and he just needed to reconnect to Wi-Fi or something.

> Very amusing worldview.

It’s ironic that you’re displaying the exact behavior pointed out by the GP:

> This is how you behave when you think you're so much smarter than everyone around you that consequences don't apply to you.

MDM is implemented to protect company assets regardless of the actions of the users. It would not be due diligence on the part of the director to trust you to wipe your own device.

It’s not clear to me what the point of your comment is other than illustrating that you’re smarter than your director.

New comment by justusthane in "DKIM2 and DMARCbis Have Landed"

justusthane — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 23:51:14 +0000

Isn’t that already what DMARC does though? For DMARC to pass you need DKIM _or_ SPF alignment, not both. It’s designed that way because there are scenarios where SPF _can’t_ pass (email forwarding, mailing lists). So a well-configured mail server should accept your email regardless of SPF if DKIM is properly configured.

Re: specific keys for specific usernames: I can appreciate that you wish DKIM allowed for this, and I could imagine it being handy, but that was never the problem DKIM set out to solve — DKIM and SPF are all about be domain.

I’m also not sure it’s a great idea — the sender identity should be under the control of the sender. If you control the domain @foo.com, you could use that ability to assert that an email came from Bob, even if Bob never sent it. Contrast that with Bob signing the email using his own private key.
