I've been using Agent DVR for recording, alerts and local storage though the alerts rely on a non-local MQTT broker (HiveMQ) due to the double-NAT setup my ISP imposes, otherwise I would have used a local Mosquitto broker. Here is a di

I was hoping this article would be about "The Hail Mary" which is an amazing book by the author of The Martian that involves a starship. I listened to the audio book and basically binged the last quarter of it. It's rare to f

My site made over $20k last year from Amazon. I've always known I could lose this income at any moment due to a change in Amazon's policies or a change in Google's algorithms. Luckily this change shouldn't impact me too

My site makes a couple grand per month from Amazon commissions. You have to sign up for each different Amazon program separately (.com, .co.uk, .ca, .de, .fr, etc). There is a program for India. https://affiliate-program.amazon.i

$50k from investment earnings (index funds, mostly 401k - I'm in my 40s). $20k from a website I built a couple years ago (searchable product catalog with Amazon affiliate links).

Sorted by revenue only seven make more than my Amazon affiliate site. I'm not sure if that type of site would fit in there but I did develop quite a bit of code for it. It's not a review site but rather a searchable product catalo

I have an Amazon Associates website and I've considered trying to use ads to generate traffic. This adds another step in the process vs what the article describes. Users have to click on the ad, click on my affiliate link, then make a

My site does not have any reviews. Each product overview is just a description of the product and its specifications. Rather than telling people which one to buy I give them the ability to find the one that best fits their criteria. I rank

I'd prefer not to but I'll check back a few more times to see if there are any questions about my post to answer.

I never noticed before that this site doesn't seem to have any way to send private messages. I guess if one wants to be reached they have to share a way publicly.

Yes it did. I have spent a lot more time researching and documenting specs than I have writing code. The good news is that I don't mind that type of work. I often build spreadsheets for fun to compare things I'm thinking of buying

I have had some success in affiliate marketing using an approach that I think many on Hacker News could duplicate. I launched my Amazon affiliate site about a year-and-a-half ago and its earnings have increased by about $100 per month with

Thanks for this link. Perhaps the most disturbingly accurate description of procrastination I have ever read.

This may be my favorite from this thread simply because there are individual volume sliders for each sound.

Thanks for the link (41 yr old site creator). I only recently got interested in mechanical watches. It's fun to have a mechanical marvel on my wrist for those times when I don't want to reach into my pocket to tell the time using

I recently started an affiliate business. I'm not sure if it will make $500 per month but it just made $60 in its second month so I'm cautiously optimistic. For some types of purchase I do a lot of research to find the right item

Your comment really made me stop and think. It does seem like a contradiction at first: when your child does something good praise their character not their action, when your child does something well praise the action rather than calling t

So the wind pushes the cart forward, which turns the wheels, which spin the propeller, which pushes the cart forward even more - a feedback loop. Eventually various frictions and inefficiencies equal the input energy from the tailwind and y

In my experience pigs are easier to train than dogs (they learn more quickly) and are less easily distracted. I trained pigs for 4-H and showed them at the county fair. I could walk a pig around with just a cane to tap it and keep it going

"330,000 employees have already switched"? I think they mean 330,000 employees have already had Symphony installed on their machines. While internal teams may eventually switch tools to conform with some corporate standard the external team

"those who kept their intentions private were more likely to achieve them" Or they forgot about or lied about having those private intentions? How do you know that someone had private intentions?

I enjoy the fact that he uses two data points to support his conclusion that using two data points gives you better conclusions than guessing. Nothing circular about that reasoning at all. :-)
