Do you think it’s legal to shoot a firework at someone’s house?

In ~300k km worth of diy oil changes, I’ve yet to change a crush washer, and yet to have a drain plug leak. I always replace them on friends’ Toyotas, because they seem more important, but on every car I’ve owned it…
Changing oil requires > a place where you have sufficient access to the vehicle to drain it Probably the only valid argument for people who park on the street. > the right equipment One $5 wrench, one $10 filter wrench…
I am typing this on my return flight home from a business trip in Delhi. There are many other areas the Indian government needs to be focussing on first. I had a similar view to you ~2 weeks ago. Spending some time…
I’ve tested this recently (this post week). Had a dns entry up and pointing to an nginx server for ~12 hours, zero requests. 17 seconds after the letsencrypt cert was issued, the floodgates opened. Over a dozen of…
I agree. I ran mid 16s in 8th grade, and was in the 14s in high school, with the only training being whatever we did in gym class. But I do also look at the sheer number of overweight kids these days and figured, well…

I’ve mentioned this as an option in other discussions, but if you don’t care that much about tok/sec, 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4s with 1TB of DDR3 in a supermicro X10QBi will run a 397b model for <$2k (probably closer to…
I stopped getting scared of `if` and `of` about a decade ago when I started explicitly saying (in my head) "input file" and "output file" rather than "if" and "of." You still can mess up the order, but imo no more…
The linked post currently has demonstrated that 6 years in some reasonable-ish condition is perfectly fine. > they might not last one year. > Definitely not a medium to passively store anything long term without power!…
You can however set the block size to something quite large, which means you write the same random pattern spread out over multiple blocks repeatedly. If you pick an "odd" block size (like say, your native block size…
Yes, that’s right, don’t buy any new car, any phone, any television. Hell don’t buy any x86 laptop or desktop computer, since you can’t disable out replace Intel ME/etc.
How is that better?
How does SSH become an arbitrary user without effective root?
How on god’s green earth is `sudo apt install telnet` sufficiently challenging to be a driving factor to creating your own distro??

Damn, is this the first time ever the east coast is doing better than Colorado? We’ve had record snowfalls all over Quebec, I spent all day last Friday skiing in a foot of fresh powder. Unheard of on the ice coast*.…
I have a decent amount of second hand experience with used cars, through my brother who is a mechanic and spent a number of years working at a used car dealership. Hyundai/Kia is the only company he ever had to do…

Late reply I know, but I wanted to clear up that I don’t want to normalize a 2.5kW homelab. Usually when talking to people about it I refer to it as “insane.” But, having an absolutely insane amount of computer and RAM…
I mean, if you’re in the top 3 percent of anything, yes that’s pretty good, but not unbelievably so, especially in the field of chess. If for instance you randomly put together a classroom full of chess players, there’s…

Fairly frequently, 6kVA UPSs come up for sale locally to me, for dirt cheap (<$400). Yes, they're used, and yes, they'll need ~$500 worth of batteries immediately, but they will run a "normal" homelab for multiple…
