I believe that wine tastings are primarily for the social value, with the socializing eased by the alcohol. Having a guise of learning about the wine (or whatever) is useful. And my second belief (again generalizing, how I see it, etc.) is

The water and waste are pumped into a holding tank that needs to be emptied. You can empty it into the ocean if you are 3 miles off shore. Most people stay close to shore, so need to use pump out facilities to empty their holding tank. Thes

I just went through this transition myself. For the past year or so I had been compiling technical content on GitHub and writing long-form content (updates on my year long vacation) for family and friends on a Facebook Page. Now a couple we

If it is unpopular, then the resources required to host the content are manageable. If it is popular, the IPFS users seed it to each other so your load is still manageable.

I've been happy with Keepass2Android, which would be compatible with KeePass XC files.

And the ridiculous of those italics glyphs. Like, who decided that the f and l should have huge decorative slings but not the g?

Ok but that will be lower quality. The original compressed file will be decoded and sent to the monitor at full resolution and frame rate, and then the pirates will be able to capture that. Then the pirates will need to encode/compres

It doesn't have two rings anymore, you choose the hours and then it changes the ring to minutes for you to choose that. Functionally the same I would say, for all but the most pedantic person. And I believe it has been that way for sev

A very good question. Muting a TV seems OK on the surface to me, but only because it is normal to me. When actually thinking about it, I realize that muting TV ads is similar to web ad blocking. So in principle I would have to say that one

It does seem similar. If you don't want to see the ads, don't use the service. I don't use an ad blocker, and if I don't want to see ads I pay for the service, such as with Reddit, Ars Technica, Windows Live Mail, Netfli

On Digital Ocean's S3-compatible service for example, $5/month gets you 250GB storage and 1TB egress. $0.02/GB additional storage and $0.01/GB additional egress. So if you have 5GB of videos that ALL get watched 10,000 t

There are some switches that supply passive PoE, such as many of Ubiquiti's products.

I lived in North Dakota during it's height and 30 years prior. It was a ridiculous protest driven by emotional overreaction to a normal construction proceeding (the Missouri had already been crossed near Williston by the same pipeline)

by aaronax 7y ago
The pipeline did not even cross tribal land. So construction could have proceeded fine if there was no trespassing. Therefore (obviously), there was trespassing and interference with legal construction activities, countered by private secur

If it is not worth it (presumably because most of the bandwidth will just be unused) then the ISPs should just bump everyone up to gigabit or whatever their end-user links support. Few people will actually use the extra bandwidth so there

Probably the car will switch between gears while in motion. It seems to me that it would be difficult to do that smoothly without a clutch.

Probably requires a surprising amount of short range transmitters to be launched then. I wonder if a formula could be developed that relates the energy needed to place one large transceiver at a given distance versus the energy needed to p

I have read one. Many years ago, don't remember much about it. But I'm pretty sure it also discussed how all of the "future folk" were disgusted with the smell of the ones that had been traveling in cryo for 200 years.

It seemed to be the most DIY-friendly product line with a complete selection of things that I wanted. Plus very popular so lots of armchair experts out there in the related Facebook groups. :) We have a 36 HP Yanmar 3JH2E so that would be

I'll share details of what I installed a few months ago in my 37 foot sailboat. It will be more of a counterpoint to "how simple it is to get up and running." But it enables a great many luxuries in our live-aboard lifestyl
