My wife won’t leave the house without several water containers as it she is crossing the god damn Sahara. We live in the North East, its not even dry! I always ask her how she survied childhood without stupid fancy bottles that are marketed. Fortunately she is patient with my crap and loves me…

No gpio but old centrino laptops make excellent low power servers. My primary server was a first gen centrino from 2011 up until recently and I think it only used 12w idle after putting a SSD in there. Had it’s own UPS built in.

What is your sentiments on the looting of the capital on January 6th then? By that logic they should all be in jail for life for such a substantial escalation relatively speaking.

I was being dramatic, sorry, yes, this!

You would be the bad guy if you make him return it. Personally I would have a talk with your son about how unusual the act is and how his act could be used as leverage over him, nothing is free. Teach him healthy skepticism. Also call back those parents and tell them to fuck off, completly unacceptable they bought something connected and important for your son without checking with you first. They dont know your house or rules…

Edit: the phone isn’t on friends family plan, right?

I migrated from WordPress to Grav and love it. If you know markdown Grav is easy, efficient and FAST.

I would like to say it was on purpose but it was not :( I might do math, spelling is not my forte.

I guess remembering grade school order of operation means you’re a guinus now? Bar has gotten pretty low…

Americans avoid it like the plague for some reason. I always back in because I can look at the spot for objects or problems before I start backing in to ensure I dont hit anything. Backing out blind can be risky otherwise.

I paid for a year of an incogni family plan and wiped my whole household off the internet. Within a month google searching largely stopped coming up with hits other than accounts I personally created. I’ve been quite happy with the service, It took no effort just $100.

Plus $1000 a year electric bill

New Hampshire is the closest thing America has to feral freedom, their moto is “Live free or die”, not sure why everyone always talks about Texas being the wild west anymore.

I just installed mine for the first time 4 days ago. I was excited, it worked, looked great. Then it cracked, in 4 days. I have no faith in screen protectors anymore.

I went a little crazy and setup my own wireguard VPN network, all the remote hosts connect to the VPN and the primary server connects to each of them and pushes backups. Because I use btrfs and lots of snapshots I use btrbk, annoying to setup but now my hourly snapshots get pushed everywhere, minimal bandwidth and it flawlessly has worked for years.

I do this except the offline copies are raspberry pis, they grab an update then turn their network card off and go black for about a month. Randomly they turn on the network card, pull a fresh copy and go black again. Safe from randomware and automatic.

I have a trailer (workshop) with solar power, batteries, a raspberry pi controlling everything and a cellular hot spot. It pumps all the solar, battery information and light controls over MQTT and home assistant over cellular. So yes its possible, what do you want to do?

This person works in the battery industry. Hello fellow battery expert!

Power is a measurement of the velocity and volume of water flowing through a pipe at a given instant*

I’m so sorry, I am officially ‘that guy’, taking a simple analogy and making it annoying…

My 16 year old Samsung TV would like to argue otherwise! It’s a beast and 1080p is plenty good for me! But my Samsung kitchen? Holy crap it’s all so terrible…

I got excited because I saw a Honda EV, a prologue. Looked it up, it’s a rebranded Chevy Blazer. Honda is absolutely fucked…
