We are pretty lucky to live in a neighborhood with kinds in the same age range as ours. All the parents know each other and the kids know where they're allowed to go. This includes a few acres of forest. Our kids are allowed to go o

I would suggest you take a look at Wasabi for object storage. I'm just a customer, but have been using them for close to a year for off-site backup storage and it's been great.

I recently wanted to get backups going in a similar way (incremental with copies on-site and off-site). I ended up using Borg and rclone, sending the backups to s3 compatible Wasabi storage. It's been working great, and coupled with z

How much of this went back upstream to improve KVM itself? Or is all of the nitro work just special sauce on top that they're not required to share?

I brew beer with mine[1]. I use a CHIP to control an old fridge as a fermentation chamber. For both systems I'm using CraftBeerPi[2], a python project with a pretty active community around it. I wrote about it on opensource.com[3] and

Consider the audience. This would be like replacing Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills with Masterpiece Theatre. The folks who tuned in for the trash would not stick around to be enlightened, they'd just change the channel.

I don't understand why hearing some effective management practices for a distributed team would not be welcome here at any time. Their recent mistake dealt with a specific technical process and some failures around it. That incident

I'm always disappointed when I see violence being celebrated in our culture. I understand it's been a part of human history from the beginning but I think humanity at large has a lot to gain by being less violent. If there is goin

I have toilets that use a pint (or less) per flush[1], and do not suffer from clogs or other issues. Part of the problem is the design of the toilet, where you need the water in the holding tank to "flush" everything past the elbo

Buckminster Fuller had the same idea in the early 1930's with the fog gun shower[1]. I sometimes wonder how many of his ideas will be recycled and gain traction in the years to come. [1]: http://www.bfi.org/about-fulle

That would certainly solve a lot of other problems. No need for gun control, knife control. No need for airport security. No need for armies, police, jails, judges... I like it! </snark> Apologies, I know we're not meant

Ideally if you are homeschooling, you will be involved with others homeschooling in your area. There are lots of great organizations around the US that help support homeschooling, and the kids have regular get-togethers. In my personal ex
