Almost happened to Frank Rubio when the radiator blew on his ride.

You could make a religion out of this.

I thought one thruster has been permanently disabled now? Not that that's a major problem, but it does eat into their redundancy somewhat.

How will they filter it out? If they just don't mirror anything with 'forbidden' terms, we can poison repos to prevent them being mirrored. If they try to tamper with the repo histories then they'll end up breaking a load of stuff that relies on consistent git hashes.

That is fun, I didn't know that was a thing. I imagine that roll-overs are more common than submersion in water, but even so, that doesn't sound like a great trade-off. Even in a crash, being able to quickly jump out the window is good — especially if the vehicle is on fire.

The front ones don't seem to be hidden, but yeah - if they're not meant to be used regularly, people won't remember them in an emergency. I guess the rear ones are hidden because they probably bypass child-locks.

I don't know how child-locks work on mechanical door latches. If the vehicle locks when in motion and the child-locks are on I don't think there are emergency releases on most vehicles? The only ways out would be to get into the front cabin, break the windows, or find the internal boot release.

There's a panel that can be popped out to open the hood with a 12V power supply: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-34181E3A-B4A7-4658-906A-38C6647B5664.html

For the toddler to use?

There is a mechanical door release if you're trapped inside. To get in from outside obviously needs the vehicle to unlock, so it has to be jump started.

Even if there was some kind of back-up mechanical lock I can't see anyone carrying around a key only for this specific eventuality. A glass breaker key-ring might be the best option — along with understanding how to use these emergency features in case you need them. A glass breaker might also save you in a fire or ending up underwater.

Morphit , to Programmer Humor in It's easier to remember the IPs of good DNSes, too.

I can see that, but surely there wouldn't be much difference matching the first 4bits (0x2XXX, 0xfXXX) vs the first 16 (0x0001)?
0:: is presumably all for loopback-type stuff, but I don't see a reason not to use 1:: through 1fff:: and they would be much easier to type/remember/validate for public DNS servers which are needed before name resolution is available.

Why start at 0x2001 though? Why not 0x0001? Then we could have addresses like 1:1:1::1 or 1:2:3::4.

2606:4700:4700::1111

Hmm, maybe Google is easier:
2001:4860:4860::8888

Quad9 is 2620:fe::fe or 2620:fe::9

I don't understand why they can't get better addresses than that. Like surely 1::1 would be valid?

Edit: So IANA only control addresses 2001:: and up and there are quite a few IETF reservations within that. I don't know why they picked such a high number to start at. Everything else seems IETF reserved with a little space allocated for special purposes (link-local, multicast, etc.).

Morphit , to Linux in Debian maintainer unilaterally strips KeepassXC package of a lot of features
@Morphit@feddit.uk avatar

I find it odd, because venv is a "Suggested package", actually. It isn't in the list of new packages that will be installed with python3 by default.

I think the next major release of apt is supposed to be easier to read. Unless Debian neuter it.
