If you are in the US, you probably already know about Mike Patey but I'll share this here anyway. He has a track record of building something custom pretty much every year. I believe he is trying to build a community around a similar i

I was curious, so I just checked on one of our customers (I work at a small MSP in the UK) by way of comparison and we have on chugging along happily at more than double those numbers on a $288 Linode dedicated CPU instance. And we're

And you have Cunninghammed me :-) Some Nalgene's are polycarbonate, like those commonly drunk from. But not all, some are HDPE[0,1,2]. Some are Polypropylene co-polymer[3] but those are more for specialist things I guess. [0] https:

Maybe not so weird if gravity isn't the curvature of spacetime but a symptom of there being either more or less of it, and mass creates spacetime. Replace the highly curved spacetime region close to a blackhole with the idea that hug

There are many variables. Visual acuity, how well your eyes can adapt to low light, colour sensitivity, light pollution and cloud cover are just a few. Even standing next to each other two people can have different experiences thanks to tho

Migrating to a host that doesn’t support IPv6 when it’s important to you seems…like a bad decision.

This seems like the perfect opportunity to introduce those unfamiliar to Robert Elder. He makes cool YouTube[0] and blog content[1] and has a series on regular expressions[2] and does some quite deep dives into the differing behaviour of th

It’s a shame this study appears to have been conducted so poorly, the topic is very interesting. The study had people click on photos of where their interest would be if they were walking. They were not eye-tracked when actually walking. Th

Former military here…I only ever did this a few times in very specific circumstances. I wasn’t infantry but when exercising that role I did do this a couple of times when on sentry for a long time or when in an OP (observation post). This

The GP might be referring to how most of the non-hyperscalers like Linode or DigitalOcean or Vultr tie total monthly egress to instance size. IIRC they do allow overage charges at $x per GB but it quickly becomes more expensive to do it tha

This is utterly false for Amazon UK and disprovable by 2 minutes of searching. It’s somewhat incredible to me this claim has been made with a straight face to be honest. USB Foot Pedal is just one random search that’ll show this. Mens fleec

Yes I thought this too. Perhaps because it mirrored my experience of similar situations. I glad to see a comment like yours because it could mean we’re starting to recognise this condition in adult women a little more than we have been over

She doesn’t have a car or license. So living in the countryside in the UK is a non-starter. When you’re living life on hard mode already due to poverty and the pernicious destruction of control over your own time that that causes, trying to

The next sentence is: > Choosing to use the powers vested in you by the constituencies you serve, to deprive those same constituents of light, heating, food and home security is a wilful and deliberate act. And it has to stop. It’s abund

DigitalOcean blocks port 25 now anyway[0], since I think June this year, for all new accounts. So not really a viable option now. We have to relay email from our servers there. Bit annoying, and no support won't make an exception or tu

This opinion comes from a former pho photographer, one who desperately wanted to love Darktable...the shots are warranted in my opinion. Darktable is a complete car crash of poor usability and militant contrarianism on established user expe

EMF Camp[0] in the UK last year had a talk about this[1]. I attended in person. It was a fascinating intro to something I didn’t really understand existed. EMF camp is something of a wonder in itself. If you can make it to the next one, go!

I'm curious if there's another company in history that became so pervasive so quickly? Not just in terms of size, but in impact/reach? I realise this question somewhat requires defining what Google is and it's current si

Fantastic summary and for those reading it who want a little additional social confirmation , I feel this summary is accurate. The part about Linus appearance in the ‘what do we do now?’ video is on point too. I would add that the general t

Regarding fusion - have you seen Helion’s approach? [0] It seems their approach removes many of the issues with Tokamak or Laser Pulsed fusion. It also reduces most of the feedstock issues with the two part fuel breeding approach. Their app

3 x HP t630 thin clients. Each with upgraded RAM and SSDs. Each run proxmox, clustered together. Very cheap, low power and surprisingly not terrible. No fans so quiet too. These aren't going to be good for Plex though. But the rest the

I think the article and this mishap is an example of the reason why - if you can't find a dropped and loose object in the cockpit then you can't fly the aircraft because it may move in flight to somewhere where it can interfere wi

It was an RAF Voyager (Airbus A-330) I think you are referring to and a DSLR camera (Nikon D5300) that became wedged as you say[0]. The item didn't get knocked loose, it was the plane automation that saved the flight. The auto-pilot se

Rather they released the f150 lightning :-) Not that I have any justification for a pick up, but it does look like a great EV.
