It may interest you to know that pagers are still a thing, Motorola still makes them, and I know that one major use case is volunteer fire departments I used to work on Motorola Minitor 5 pagers. Looks like they recently released their newe

Looks like the link has been updated to remove references to Pro plans. Unfortunate edit: they changed it back, and it's actually working now :D

I got into making hot sauces recently. I didn't really care for any of the results until I started fermenting them. Chop up ingredients, add brine, put everything in a jar with a fermentation lid that allows gas to escape. Then let it

Heist (2001) - Directed by David Mamet It's not very well known or particularly well reviewed. It just clicked with me, I've watched it probably a dozen times. It's about a jewel heist and the drama surrounding it

Looks like Perplexity includes sponsored results at the bottom of your searches, and my UBO isn't blocking them. They seem to be fairly unobtrusive, though, and they are labeled as such. For now, at least.

I'm an American, I lived in Germany for several years around the turn of the century. German roads that I encountered were far superior to American roads. Their construction is far more robust, the roads last much longer. And with Germ

I watched this YT video [1] about the interstate system recently, I found it informative and entertaining To me, the Eisenhower Tunnel in CO [2] is noteworthy. It crosses the continental divide at altitude. From what I've read and watc

I had tons of issues with these Cloudflare checkboxes. I finally figured out it was because I use this extension [1] that disables HTML5 autoplay. I assume Cloudflare is doing some kind of thing where they verify that the client can playbac

I read the entire article and that wasn't my takeaway. After reading, I assumed that AWS was (somehow) billing for loopback bandwidth, it wasn't apparent (to me) from the article that CPU costs were the sticking point

I was in the USAF in the early 2000s, stationed in Germany. Due to a dispute with DT, I ended up using long distance calling cards to dial (overseas!) into AOL to get online. It was very involved. I imagine I may have been the only person i

It seems to be getting more and more common to leave your git repository completely undocumented. If you're releasing a software project on github, I want to read about it on github. A basic README that outlines what it does, how it do

This bit at the bottom was gratifying to read: As of 2016, the engineer who did the update still worked at KCG. His entire management chain had been replaced, all the way up to the CTO.

I tried very hard to get onboard with Ubuntu's new server paradigm, I've been using Ubuntu on and off since 2005. Snap is what turned me away. My research (admittedly several years out of date) told me that it was impossible to di

My father was a welding foreman on the Byron plant. He always took great pride in that. Later in life he was a lineman, he liked to point out the huge transmission towers that he built as we drove past them

I run HA at home, and my home is an apartment. I was able to buy some zigbee switches [1] that just 'snap' over the top of traditional light switches, after adding some castellated plastic washers under the screws that hold the sw
