For a partially DIY option with a certified, well-tested security/fire alarm option a DSC 1832 with the IT-100 serial interface board is an excellent piece of kit. Bought one off a local security company and did all the install myself,

That drives me insane as well. I expect it is nessecary in some fashion, but the implementation is severely frustrating. It should be "sticky" and allow you to switch if required. Also the personal accounts can only have 16 charac

In general, you can drop everything except the jitsugo (verb or adjective most usually) if the other bits can be inferred. eg: Taberu (eat) or Hayai (fast) It sounds like cavemen talk if you translate it literally, but it is perfectly valid

If you are interested in assembly language concepts and don't mind something slightly archaic, I thoroughly enjoyed this book: https://www.amazon.com/Peter-Nortons-Assembly-Language-Book/... It goes through lesson

Without trying to be snarky, this sounds like a post-hoc rationalization. How do you differentiate between an irrational market and a bad prediction? I'm honestly at a loss

I think you succeeded. I had no idea what was going on for a few minutes and just clicked around, but it became obvious how it worked fairly quickly. I'll give it to my 8/10 year olds tonight and see what they think. Thanks for ma

My workflow for modifying production data is: 1) Write a select statement capturing the rows you want to modify and verify them by eyeball 2) (Optional) Modify that statement to select the unchanged rows into a temp table to be dele

Then you have an even better incentive to fast, since it has been shown to reduce or eliminate jet lag [0]. I use this protocol on long flights and find it works well, getting me back in action within a day, even after traversing 8 time zon

Interesting. It'd be very nice to use my preferred tool set (postgres) as an alternative to RRDTool when doing datalogging. Do you any comparisons for speed/accuracy/compactness vs using RRDTool?

If you're interested in a good overview of Architecture in the context of period art/philosophy (and culture in general), it would be hard to recommend Kenneth Clark's Civilisation [0] series more. It shows the development of

This is good for those without existing infrastructure looking for a non-customizable mail system. I already run my own DNS, backups, firewalls, monitoring etc and want something I can hack on, so I run Citadel at home. Cit is the same idea

All this talk has made me glad to pay the premium to stay with x86/amd64 supported boards. I've been buying PC-Engines for years, and run whatever I please on them (but mostly OpenBSD). They are 3x the price of the RPi (more if yo

I've always just used psql and found it sufficient for my needs. What am I missing by not using a GUI/dev tool? e.g. What would I find easier, or what is possible in the gui that is impossible or difficult from the CLI? Honest que

You can replace (replant) trees faster than you log them. How are you replacing the steel you're pulling out of the ground? You can recycle steel, but there is a limited supply and extracting it is energy intensive. We can grow an almo

Health care should probably not be a right, but universal heathcare has a lot to recommend it from a social and economic policy perspective. For example, people who can't afford to see a doctor will eventually end up in the ER, at enor

That's a step in the right direction, but I won't be adopting any similar tech until it can be self hosted (and preferably live on a non-routable vlan, maybe with proxy access to white-listed websites)

It also helps to have a real or soft synth in front of you so you can tweak knobs and play around as you go If you don't have anything, my recommendation is ZynAddSubFX. It is an amazing free synth with enough knobs to do almost anythi

Wood construction (e.g. 2x4 or other dimension lumber houses) does this to some extent, although there is carbon emission inherent in the harvesting, sawmilling process, transportation to the worksite and actual house construction. I'm

Best way to learn to touch type: 1) Buy a sliding under desk keyboard tray 2) Leave it under the desk while you type. Don't slide it out 3) a few weeks/months of pain 4) perfect touch typing You will be shocked how often you were

Still better to put a jack (facing down!) into a surface mount box and patch into the camera. When you are working with outdoor gear, put the surface mount box into a waterproof jbox. Even if you are going into gear with a gasket that requi

I came here to say this as well. There is nothing this software (+ plugins) cannot do. want to open an avi as a series of frames and extract individual images? Want to open MSIs and extract individual files from the installer? ISOs? Floppy

This isn't really suitable for the purposes you're describing, but it has a niche for firewalls and routers that may interest someone. I've been using PC-Engines Alix[1] boards for this purpose since 2008. They are 1-3 ports
