I haven't made banana peels specifically, but I have made this for some vegan guests before (as part of a larger dish) and while I wouldn't say it's bacon, it hits all the same notes: https://www.seriouseats.com&#x

Still very much a thing in the world of optical networking ("rolling the cable", i.e. switching the two sides at one end to match tx/rx up correctly, is a common first step in debugging a link that won't come up -- stand

Originally it said: --- The issue has been identified as a DNSSEC signing problem at DENIC, the organization responsible for the .DE top-level domain. Cloudflare has temporarily disabled DNSSEC validation on 1.1.1.1 resolver in order to all

Exactly this. Many modern PHYs also integrate 802.3az (energy-efficient ethernet, a subset of Green Ethernet) but it's not super common. I also finally found this old page of using an old dev board to construct a WoL listener for a mo

I've been thinking about that illustration of Smaug for nearly 40 years and I never knew where it came from (I didn't recall it was from a Tolkien-related thing, but I remember it vividly otherwise)! I must have seen it at a frie

This someone jogged a memory of an all-time favorite line from a 2005 laptop review (well, more of a rant than a review): https://web.archive.org/web/20090709072628/https://arstechni... > [The power]

The ratio of the length of the diagonal of a pentagon to one of its sides is the golden ratio -- easiest visualization is with similar triangles. Draw a regular pentagon (sides of length 1 for simplicity) and pick a side, make an isosceles

This comment has, I think, made me more sad than anything I've ever read on HN before. David is one of the most thoughtful, critical, and valuable voices on the topic of digital archival, and has been for quite some time. The idea of

That's my understanding as well, but I still wouldn't disassemble a 1960s microwave without protection (I have assisted in the dismantling of a couple microwave communications devices which did contain BeO and were also very well-

As a second regards the microwave, depending on the age, please be extremely careful about the magnetron the insulators on which could contain beryllium oxide, which can kill you. There are a lot of fun parts inside microwaves (a personal f

There are approaches to real-time ethernet (some industry implementations like profinet or ethercat, 802.1as from IEEE) but support is spotty and it requires specialized gear to be effective.

If you have the opportunity, I would strongly recommend visiting the vintageTEK Museum whose site this is on (it's just outside Portland) sometime. Many of the folks working there are retired from Tektronix themselves and the amount o

Among the many reasons that stretch of 26 is dangerous is that the approach from Portland is essentially a freeway from Gresham through Sandy, and then turns into a rural highway until it begins the climb up to Hood. This is because of a r

I'm maybe too close to the problem to evaluate well (studied foundational math) but I know that Lawvere and Schanuel's book "Conceptual Mathematics" has been fairly well-regarded as a path into category theory.
