Anyone know of something like the ratgdo, but for motorized swing gates (like DoorKing)? I'd love to check the status as well as actuate open/close, but some of the "upgrade" quotes I've seen are $5k USD. It seems l

RIPE Atlas is an amazing project. I remember getting 3 probes at a NANOG and telling my coworkers about it. They couldn't believe that it was a free project, and that I didn't have to pay anything for the probes. Great stuff from

I've yet to make it out of the lab. The failover solutions seem to be A-B rather than A-B-DR. That is, you can have a primary and a replica (probably in the same DC/AZ), but you can't do a primary, a replica, and another repl

Depending on OS, you might need to actually put the interface name in there? As you can have fe80::1 on multiple interfaces...it being link-local. Maybe browsers are holding it back?

Backup on site and store tertiary copies in a cloud. Storing all backups in AWS wouldn't meet a lot of compliance requirements. Even multiple AZs in AWS would not pass muster as there are single points of failure (API, auth, etc).

fe80::1 on link-local is/should almost always be configured as your gateway route. Works very well in corporate setups, too.

The larger tech companies give everyone an office. Microsoft started the trend back in the 80's.

There's often a large disconnect between teacher's union leadership and membership. Probably not unlike most union compositions in the US.

"Laws shmaws" is not a great defense.

"Why was iron low?" "We don't know." "It's better now?" "Yes we fixed it!" If they don't know what's wrong, how did they know what to fix? This is still fishy to me. Also, shame on

They could hedge with futures contracts in a more liquid, reliable manner.

It sounds like PayPal isn't actually buying Bitcoin, but instead created their own proxy bookkeeping instrument. Speculation, but that's what it sounds like to me if you can't have Bitcoin's utility and only its store&#x

She was mayor of San Francisco at the time.

My point was to show that she had a legitimate need, then let the permit lapse when she no longer had a need. She didn't have one for an abuse of power. I wasn't debating the merits of the CA shall issue policy. In other words, do

She had one because the anarcho hippie terrorist groups of SF targeted her and shot up her home several times. When the group was arrested/disbanded, she let her permit lapse. While I agree it sucks that some rich and powerful people s

I hope that they can handle all those deletes on their spinning hard drives. Append-only is easy, since you're never deleting and there's no chance for fragmentation. Once you get deletes, you're going to get fragmentation an

Yet long-lived connections (processes) suffer tremendously on Postgresql servers with high cores (> 100) and a decent amount of memory (> 256GB). Connection pooling is good, but you gotta recycle those connections on a regular basis.

Integrate it into KeePass or 1Password. I'm sure Yahoo will pay a billi for that.

Yeah the main difference is wireless devices use Collision Avoidance rather than Collision Detection.

What about the fires last year? Or two years ago? Those were worse for SF proper. It looked like Mars or the end of days 2 years ago.

AirNow's data _can_ be less accurate. For example, punching in a Lamorinda ZIP code only returns results for Oakland ("Oakland reporting area"), even if the ZIP correctly shows the right locale. PurpleAir lets me see my neigh

The alarm.com smoke detectors are $50 and also last 10 years. You're paying a lot for a Google badge that doesn't even contact the fire department with the base setup. When a smoke detector goes off, I've got my system set to

Sorry, I was trying to state the legal requirements in many US states.

That's basically the premise behind Surety. Except Surety systems are centrally monitored after the DIY install and have tons of customization options.

Google's products are also expensive. The Nest smoke detectors are priced to only be viable for a studio apartment. Beyond that, you're way better off going with a traditional alarm/fire system. Requirements are 1 in each bed

Or setup your own system and monitor through alarm.com. That's who ADT uses for their Blue system. Yes, ADT uses alarm.com for their newest system.

All of the insurance companies I got quotes from make you list your alarm company and account number on the policy. Also, the discount is for central monitoring, not merely having a system. I'd reread your paperwork if I were you. It s
