What I want is something that amounts to a stateful firewall/allow list on top of PiHole ... if a device is attempting to connect to an ip address which was not resolved by PiHole then it gets blocked ... Similarly if the RDNS for an a

Similar story with Portmaster 2s and a wall of modems layed out. The resulting blinking lights acted like a load monitor of sorts as the activity would spread across the wall as customers dialed in after work and signed off at night. Not me

The biggest missing piece in these definitions? The tires. Most cars these days come with a very highway biased tire. These tires will fail very quickly in most conditions found on off road trails, especially those that are designated as 4x

No car with paint you care about should ever be washed in the sun. If you look around some detailer forums for basic car washing instructions staying in the shade and carefully drying your car are very important to avoid water spots, swirl

And you know how much Coca is needed to make Cocaine? Might as well compare chewing a piece of sugar cane to drinking HFCS.

They cite that the data in the study was from 2011-2015. Cars have changed significantly in that time so it is worth remembering that the common stability and traction control, and safety systems on cars sold today are significantly improve

Stories like this remind me that in distributed systems time becomes a very imprecise concept at small scales.

I’ve used the shaped orange foam 3M ear plugs extensively while riding a motorcycle. The wind noise is extremely bad for you given the duration and surprisingly high decibels. One interesting thing I have noticed is that these plugs are ext

This line of reasoning is what is used to justify lock-in and anti-right to repair legislation. Following this reasoning you shouldn’t be allowed to change a flat tire on your car as it could be improperly tightened and fly off at speed. T

Doing crime on a system with a perfect immutable record doesn’t seem like a smart play to me. As noted above the firms like chainalysis will continue to uncover and attribute all of the nodes in the graph. If you are taking 100s of thousan

How long until vision based ‘AI’ systems make these kinds of counter measures obsolete? It seems like it should be straight forward for a multi-modal sensor package to combine with some basic physics logic (the airframe can only ‘move’ so m

Well the SEC certainly has one point of view. Unfortunately the CFTC has another view and they both can’t be right so which part of the federal governance applies here? https://www.cftc.gov/digitalassets/index.htm This

Gatorade is great… if you are exercising in heat, like perhaps football players in Florida. For everyone else their body probably doesn’t need all those sugars and salts in their hydration.

It’s a similar problem with metal grating typically used on outdoor staircases. There are practical benefits in places where it snows for these designs. Sometimes clothing is simply impractical for certain environments. It still find the id

Just remember then when all of your neighbors have power out as well that those small generators often “grow legs and disappear” … it is a very good idea to chain them up. Also _always_ ensure the exhaust is no where near any open doors or

I have 400aH worth of lithium batteries and 600 watts of solar (not laid out in an ideal configuration down the sides of the roof on my airstream). I have found I use 60-90watts AC to power my starlink. I can easily go all day even with 2-3

I see pretty consistent 65 watts AC on my Victron inverter with some peak surges to about 90watts. Very doable with a small solar array.

Curious if they bothered to comply with the GVWR for the vehicle. An extra 730lbs is most of the typical payload capacity for a typical car. The model S has a GVWR of 5600lbs and weighs about 4600lbs meaning you can only put about 1000lbs o

They are not without their drawbacks but you can get an excellent picture quality 4K home theater projector that has none of the ‘smart’ tv features.

A good burr grinder is all about consistent grind size and is very easy to observe. Spread a small amount of ground coffee out on a piece of paper. Observe the varying sizes and shapes within the grounds. Better grinders produce more even g

This would be easily solved if car manufacturers cared at all… simply cover the bottom of the car with panels. A side benefit would be the increased fuel economy from the cleaner airflow and reduction in drag (this is an inherit benefit of

Given the wildly different rates of speed involved, incidents per unit of time would perhaps be more directly comparable.

Its not a tv at all but a projector... still plenty of these around that have no functions other than displaying what is input. As a bonus it is much easier to deal with when it is eventually obsolete than an extremely large flat panel tv.

In all this discussion of the art of design in old houses I am surprised to see no one has mentioned “A Pattern Language” [1] yet. This is truly a must read book for anyone considering the design and building of their own house. Interestin
