I may not know AI very well but I know that automatic sinks, soap dispensers, and toilets don't work for me because they weren't tested against people with my skin tone. And these are low-stakes use cases. I really don't like

When I was younger lightning struck our apartment building and it killed my consumer router. I replaced it and put it on the surge protector. A few months later we got struck again. The router survived but the building caught fire. Now that

>Yes, I agree, but he's bringing that from prior experience, not our company... That's exactly what I'm saying! I don't think he's guarded because of you guys but I do think he's guarded. It's gonna tak

It was, and I did! EDIT: the first job was a hellhole. The second job I delegated something I probably shouldn't have- that was my mistake 100%. The second job was very well led for the most part

That does make sense but try to look at it this way: if YOU got burned for asking for help before would YOU individually forget that experience and ask for help again? It's really easy to think about it from one perspective- even if th

I haven't done enough PKI to call myself "good" at it but I've done enough to shudder any time I hear "hardcoded key"

I don't want an office. I don't even want to go outside. More pay would absolutely bring me into the office though- especially if it means I can afford the wear and tear on my car plus the 20 hours of my life drained being stuck i

It jumbles my jimmies hearing about outright rejection of modern tech by industries that would best benefit from said tech. I'd almost be willing to bet money that your landlord would charge a "renewable energy" fee even if t

So I actually "repurposed" a riser cable from an old ITX build to slap it into my primary proxmox server to play around with home-rolled VDI. Surprisingly, it worked. If you're feeling bold you could try that route

IDK, back in my edgy years I was suicidal due to "loneliness"- even though I had friends and family. I even (kinda) had a partner. I had no money, because you can't pay almost $100K in student loans and $900/mo in rent w

Not an expert on this but I've both seen it and done it: fear of punishment for asking for help/admitting weakness was why I did it. I've had a boss that used our team as his scapegoat to cover his ass whenever he fucked up.

This stings because I lost a few close friends to suicide and gun violence last year. It's really sad that we can't/won't do anything to stymie the trend

When I say "do CI/CD first" I do mean "make a commit and watch it go brrrr". You could build a pipeline yourself if DevOps engineering sounds fun but my experience with it professionally is "do whatever the DO

Sync that data to cloud-backed storage and you would literally need nothing more than an Internet connection! Granted, that means you NEED an Internet connection... But it's as close to "walking data center" as anyone can get

It's interesting that you mention PoE nature cams- I designed a PoE home surveillance system for a friend that involved setting up a solar panel on a 30' pole that fed a box with a shitty camera system in it at ground level. From

Servethehome forums and smallnetbuilders are also good resources, if you're not a fan of Reddit for some reason!

Amen on that. The past few rigs I built for myself were all ITX machines. I went through and undervolted my CPU, RAM, and GPU. Once my current gaming rig dies I'm just going to stick with the consoles for gaming until they goes to shit

I apologize if it seemed like I was irate- I'm not and your question is 100% the question we all ask ourselves before doing things like this (or for some of us, it's the first question on the wife acceptance factor audit). If anyo

That is very true, but haven't we already had cases of TVs spying on people without direct Wi-Fi access already? Also, most consumer routers are HOT SHIT and don't do much of what they claim they do. I mean, we can pull data remot

That's what I figured- I've never actually tested it though because I don't have any spare drives sitting around anymore. One of these days though I'll get around to zeroing out a drive and then running Autopsy on it for

Without looking at the listing I can't earnestly say what you're seeing isn't fake but I know back when I had the same question you're asking here I saw similar offerings. Ultimately I bought a used ITX supermicro mobo+C

If you have the patience you can try setting up your own CI/CD pipelines. IMO API dev isn't THAT different from what you already do, just a different mindset. Take this with a grain of salt from me though because I only dabble in
