Have you thought of opening your own truck repair shop? Often there are places where trucks break down and the solutions are slim to None. A good repair shop in the right place might make decent money.

I did that too years ago, but the management of it was kind of annoying. DKIM was just getting introduced when I stopped using it. SPF had controversy. I understand both of those are awesome now. The biggest issue was if your ip address

The more and more rude interactions like ghosting we have, the less human we become. Relationships become transactional instead of meaningful. On the other hand, talking to people as humans and leading with your humanity first makes you a

So is this in lieu of using permissions to protect apis? Because it seems like API's should have some kind of permission mechanism around them anyway.

I was writing MCP servers, now I just write tools for agents to consume. It's often easier to simply write the tool you need and suggest to it to look at the tool to do that thing. I was also surprised to find out Claude knew how to u

Is that true with the mac book airs? My understanding is that they're completely sealed, and they use the case as a heat spreader.

I remember seeing laser cutter drivers which only ran on Windows XP, but the cutters themselves were still in use and worked great. For (ham) radio programming software which often only supports windows, getting the programmer working on re

There was a point in the 1990's where microsoft word wasn't truly WYSIWYG. IIRC it was like an infinite page and the line breaks and page breaks were "estimates" Further many docs from that era are plagued with abandonw

Agree. However the key word there is "voluntarily". If a war gets too ugly, the supply of volunteers will dry up. And then you're looking at a draft. It's been a while since the vietnam war, but we (the general public

No argument from me, other than: All those things can be also be said about corporations. You brought up lamplighters and the electric lightbulb. It's worth noting that corporations had a cartel that prevented lightbulbs from running

Your point is noted. But unions have never existed in a vacuum. And without the context of why they came about, that is from corporations abusing employees, it's easy to say "Unions are complex" when the world in which they

Because of the split. But your right, meshtastic does have dumb routing. And I haven't used meshcore, but I probably won't now until the dust settles on this for a while. I would like to disagree with you here that perfect is th

On the other hand, it's far more voluminous to catalog the list of corporations acting in bad faith and abusing their employees than finding the abuses of unions. Firing managers for egregious behavior only makes the legal case for the

And unfortunately Meshtastic fails miserably at that. Meshcore is better, but maybe not anymore. I'm not even sure Lora is the best technology for this either since you'd really want something that can listen to more than 1 chan

I ended up getting a ham radio license and now I get to use technology that actually works (even if it's a little more janky than meshtastic/reticulum). My friend is across town and I should be able to hit him with the line of sig

A lot of startups are cults. Tesla maybe the final form of a culted startup where the stock owners don't care about anything anymore. That said, the people who change companies aren't the ones that believe that management ever ha

em-dashes help flow ideas better than other means. For whatever reason, it's easier to process in my brain a comment with an em-dash rather than trying to split the idea into separate succinct sentences. You can do small succinct sent

I like the em-dash as well as it provides visual space more than just a "-" or a ";" or a ", and".

It's not just data, right? Power can be abused as well. That person has power to control the narrative and can make a large bet on the number of times he can say the word. So now it's public servants military power, congressiona
