If I may attempt to paraphrase: "You" are not "your thoughts": you are the watcher of your thoughts.
I had just setup "Stirling PDF" on my home NAS a few of weeks ago, since my SO needed to merge some documents and I'd recently read that (or a similar) HN thread. I definitely would recommend it. It was really quick to…
Just a warning to anyone reading this that 35% lab grade hydrogen peroxide can be VERY dangerous, so I'd just stick to the 2% drug store stuff unless you really know what you're doing. High purity hydrogen peroxide has…
+1 ours got so moldy inside. Especially after the hardwood installers ran them while sanding. I've gotten quite good at deep cleaning and sterilizing them, but it's a long and messy process.
I was in a similar boat and finally got around to trying out Proxmox in the last year or so. I just wanted share my own experience here, since it's a bit different than the "standard" uses I've seen. I had been running…
Salts are generally stored with the hash, and are only really intended to prevent "rainbow table" attacks. (I.e. use of precomputed hash tables.) Though a predictable and matching salt per entry does mean you can attack…
It's common to conflate the effects of a solar storm with an EMP; when in reality they're opposite extremes of the same mechanism (i.e. voltage varying over distance). An EMP is a short-duration high voltage spike; i.e.…
This has bugged me for so long and I hope the industry finally stops someday. To summarize for anyone not versed in electrical power: * mAh measures how much current your battery holds, irrespective of voltage. *…
Assuming I understand you question: you can define an interface to describe what an object parsed from JSON contains, and then cast your raw JSON-parsed object into that type. The casting doesn't guarantee the JSON from…
Respin of a comment I posted a while back: This is what helped me wrap ahead around the fact that gravity "is not really a force": when you are in free fall you feel 0 acceleration. You appear to be accelerating…
This went a different direction than I'd expected. That is, configuring your cluster resources rather than the host machines themselves. I managed to grab 5 or so Raspberry Pi 4s before the availability issues. I've…
I believe they fall under the "amateur" bands. I.e. frequencies not requiring a license to utilize (given you obey given power limits). That's why the same frequencies are shared by WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc. Some of…
I'll try recording something next time I clean one of the units (one needs a deep clean this spring); no promises though. In the meantime, here are some quick notes/resources. This video shows a similar process using…
I love our Daikin mini-splits (came with the house), but as you allude to I've had to become an mini expert on deep cleaning them. They've can get GROSS with mold when used for cooling, and the cursory filter only does…
According to Wikipedia, ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilators) can reach 90% efficiency via "modern low-cost gas-phase heat exchanger technology". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_recovery_ventilation I think another…
We had one of these installed in the last couple of years and love it. We wanted to keep our CO2 lower, without leaving windows open and introducing dust/whatnot. Works well quantitatively and qualitatively. FYI the…
Why not have the best of both worlds? Both my Ubuntu and OSX machines are setup so that just pressing Caps Lock alone = escape, and holding Caps Lock = control. For the curious, to do this in OSX I use Karabiner + a…
> Use a VPN? Yes, if the VPN is free, trustworthy, and not blocked by the wifi. I agree with most of your points; I'd just like to say that I'd never trust a "free VPN"... (Outside of "it's free since I host it".) I'd…
One of the more mindbending things to wrap your head around is that gravity isn't a force (i.e doesn't not cause acceleration in the F=Ma sense.). You're simply on a path through spacetime warped by gravity. Think about…
I think MIT's 6.033 should cover a lot of what you're looking for; it goes deep on the "systems" that build up modern computing. On OCW: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-compu...
Neat! Looks like they had some computer trouble: https://callumprentice.github.io/apps/iss_photo_explorer_fla... (In case the link isn't stable, they photo'd their computer having a kernel panic.)
Tattoo removal tends to use ~1MW pulsed lasers (yes, megawatt). The pulse is extremely short (nanoseconds), but at that power/instant-brightness it's enough to fry sensitive imaging electronics. Can also do fun things…
FWIW I interpreted their comment as unambiguously "liked the sentence". There's helpful perspective seeing freedom from corporate work as something you're effectively "buying" with less income, rather than avoiding…
I suspect balancing "speed to degrade" with "stability when used" is something that will consistently improve with technology. (Not to mention manufacturing.) The problem with trash isn't the space it takes up while it…
This is where the whole `sustainable` resources concept really tips the scales. Taking oil out of "underground vaults" is taking long-sequestered CO2 and moving it into the atmosphere/"carbon cycle". It's plastic that…
