Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will be investigating whistleblower retaliation complaints concerning Sunnyvale Apple office building built on superfund site.
I also don’t want to take my expensive and distracting iPhone to the gym. To this day I use an iPod Shuffle. I have one playlist that I change over time in iTunes, sync up, and play on shuffle. And a new-in-box Shuffle pod in a drawer for when this one dies.
USB 1.1 moved data at 12 Mb/s and carried insufficient power to charge an iPod. Whereas FireWire shifted data at 400 Mb/s. That difference was huge.
Apple didn’t come out with USB support for the iPod until USB 2.0 became a common feature on PCs, with it’s theoretical speed of 480 Mb/s (in my experience of real-world use it was actually still slower than FireWire 400) and sufficient power.
Those two statements are only in contradiction if you believe there are only two choices for how to organize a society: A Red one and a White one — and both built on hierarchical power. Orwell clearly didn't believe that. As he wrote:
"Had I gone to Spain with no political affiliation at all I should probably have joined the International Column and should no doubt by this time have had a bullet in the back for being "politically unreliable", or at least have been in jail. If I had understood the situation a bit better I should probably have joined the Anarchists."

I have several servers running it, and I’ve been pretty pleased with it. If you want to try it out you can get an OpenBSD VM at Vultr or OpenBSD.amsterdam for about $6/month.
I also highly recommend Michael W Lucas’s book Relayd & Httpd Mastery.
One thing keeping me on Apache I stead of NGINX or obhttpd is how easy it is to do overrides for particular directories. I use this A LOT for generating dynamic content.
Example: Let's say I want to generate an RTF doc for a power of attorney. I'll tell Apache via .htaccess to treat .rtf documents in that directory as CGI scripts. poa.rtf then is a Python script to process the QUERY_STRING or POST parameters into an RTF template and spit it out. End result is that browser requests poa.rtf and gets a file called poa.rtf -- generated on the fly.
Do you have an idea how you'd accomplish the same trickery in obhttpd? I guess you'd have to have the per-directory config in the main config file?
The majority of bike thieves in Portland are not going to buy a $15-$20 RF detector because that would have to come out of their meth budget. They are not a tech-savvy lot.
I suspect some posters are imagining bike thieves as part of some kind of international black market for high end bikes...maybe that exists but 99% of bike thefts are done by the local crackhead who either wants a ride or wants to trade it for $20 for some crack or meth.
In his book Mutual Aid a Factor in Evolution, the 19th century naturalist Peter Kropotkin remarks on the flocks of mixed species of birds he encountered in Siberia. He documented clear cases of inter-species coöperation, like warning of and mobbing predators.
It was one of the experiences that led him to his hypothesis that coöperation was a survival trait that would be preserved and spread by natural selection.
