Late reply: I think you misunderstood my comment. I was replying to: > It definitely comes in at a higher voltage. The voltage supplied to a US house is 120V RMS measured phase-to-ground. You will not find a higher voltage in your house

> I’m dealing with a 75 year old house that’s set up this way I can’t tell what practice you’re referring to. Are you perhaps referring to older wiring that connects large appliances to a neutral and two hots but no ground, e.g. NEMA 10

I assume the device has two separate PSUs, each of which accepts 120-240V, and neither of which will backfeed its supply.

Sort of? It’s 120V RMS to ground.

Sometimes. 240V circuits may or may not have a neutral.

I wonder if it’s time to try this again. Last time I tried it, it was intensely buggy, not to mention almost every feature I wanted. The concept is great, and I would love to ditch OrbStack for it. (OrbStack is slick. But their everythin

Indeed. In the NT 4.0 era, pre-Mac OS X, it was fun to watch Mac fans extoll the virtues of their OS while rebooting multiple times per day :)

Last I checked, if you non-forcibly reboot a GCE instance via console or API and it does not shut itself down in a timely manner, there was literally no way to force it to turn off or hard-reboot so that your block storage instances get rel

Hah, I once did “netplan try” on a prototype production machine. The new config wasn’t quite right (although not catastrophic in any respect) so I told it to roll back. Bye bye new machine. Fortunately this was an exercise and we had BMC a

A few months ago I created a little API to help with an obnoxious case in FFI [0] in an extremely esoteric language known as Python. It was straightforward, it had a fully typed signature, and I fully documented it. (And the entire implemen

Nice. You inspired me to look up RFC8366. That's a remarkable document, apparently written in English, where at least the abstract and introduction look like they might be the result of a particularly nerdy game of Mad-Libs. :) I, per

No. Incandescent lights flicker at twice your AC power frequency -- to a decent approximation, their power is proportional to V^2. But this is input power -- the cooling of the filament is slowish and the modulation depth is low. Most

For better or for worse we have a system designed for exceptional scalability and performance for verifying that you’re talking to the domain name that you think you’re talking to: WebPKI. It’s all kinds of outdated, baroque, and crappy, bu

Nope. DNSSEC is a complex scheme that is designed to allow queries to be answered with no secrets know to the answering nameserver: everything is signed offline and signed records are served up. My (vague) suggestion is to use a much simple

What’s the issue with new ones? Proxmox should work just fine on new hardware. I’m rocking a Dell Wyse “thin client” that cost rather less than any comparable N150. It’s fanless, still gets firmware updates (via LVFS!), and takes about 5W

Wouldn’t it make more sense to design a new, simple API and glue for doing secure DNS lookups just for certificate issuance? It could look more like dnscurve or even like HTTPS: have a new resource, say NSS, in parallel with NS. To secure
