For exhaust emissions, motorcycles are often dramatically worse than modern vehicles with catalytic converters. https://gearjunkie.com/motors/motorcycle-vs-vehicle-emission...

I meant more: centralized verification. I'm fine with deploying a self-CA cert to verify in my personal world, but browsers and devices have become increasingly hostile to certs that aren't signed by the standard players.

I would add that the 'serialization' to a RDBMS-schema cites as a negative is actually a huge positive for most systems. Modeling your data relationally, often in 3NF, usually differs from the in-memory/code objects in all bu

I just got burned on my home network by running my own CA (.home) and DNS for connected devices. The Android warning when installing a self-signed CA ('someone may be monitoring this network') is fine for my case, if annoying, but

It's better to do a script on your router, which knows exactly when the ISP's DHCP changes. Mikrotik has an event to capture this, and *sense has built in scripts for various DDNS providers.

Which welfare plans are you cutting? Social Security? Nope, because the average payout is 50% higher than $1000/m. Same with SSI/disability. You certainly couldn't replace any of the medical plans (Medicaid/Medicare) wit

Keep going until you're taxing everyone that makes over $80K/year or so, and you pretty much have it being balanced. I never understood the UBI argument. 30 seconds of napkin math would show you how insane the proposal is, even at

UBI would never be truly 'universal'. If someone takes money from me and then gives some of it back, I don't consider that a free gift. The only way the numbers would ever balance would be for most income earners to end up be

If that got me a reasonably clean and reasonably available location, that's money well spent. Cleaning and maintaining a restroom isn't free, and something needs to pay for it. Highway rest stops are usually pretty clean, but they

The ISE is deprecated, and MS guidance is that it should be uninstalled. Defender endpoint management flags it as a mild security risk.

There is a Winget client module for Powershell. I used it the other day to write a one liner that could upgrade all with exclusions. I didn't want to pin, because I still wanted to see updates I'm skipping.

At least around here, backup generators are for outages that happen when solar would be mostly useless: heavy storms or during Winter. Cheap and safe batteries paired with solar will help, but the capacity will likely still be an issue for

It's worth reading to the end to catch an important note about overtraining/lifting too heavy. Gym/weightlifting culture has an unsurprising amount of 'macho' nonsense attached to it. An example might be doing deadl

As someone actively pushing a company away from that model to the ubiquitous M365/SharePoint/OneDrive approach, there are so many hidden costs to 'a network share'. How are you managing VPN access to file servers? How ab

Content moderation to what degree, is the implicit question, however. Consider asking 'how do I replace a garage door torsion spring?'. The typical, overbearing response on low-quality DIY forums is that attempting to do so will l

I honestly would not be surprised if Google added some form of ads to Authenticator. The only reason they likely haven't is that it isn't the type of app that is used frequently or for long sessions. Microsoft has been pretty sham

If you're worried about banking passwords and accounts, those shouldn't be shared logins. Banks in the US have specific procedures for handling the death of account holders, and someone logging in as the deceased is problematic. B

Not only has the owner-occupied rate stayed near constant, but that rate itself is an average of all income levels. If one just looks at the rate of homeownership among those making more than the median income (family/individual) ~$74K

Windows can read/edit ID3 tags and many other types of metadata formats. It's hidden away in the details, but you can select those columns to show in a details directory view. There's certainly no nice bulk tagging functional

This is one of the big problems: if one went without insurance entirely, the hospital may negotiate 50-75% of the inflated charges away for cash on the spot, but with insurance involved, I have no control over the price I pay for that $150

One relief was that it happened in March, not on Dec 31, so it's not like I wouldn't have paid some of that bill in care, which is now 'free' The other thing I learned, since the hospital was unwilling to negotiate on to

I'm generally a fan of HDHPs, but I echo some of the same complaints made in the article. For example, just a few months ago, my toddler was complaining about horrible pain in his stomach. Now, being 5, it's awfully hard to determ

It will spoil/go rancid. Even the 'non-natural' big brands like Jif/Skippy taste and smell 'off' if they sit out for a few weeks after being opened. There's no winning here, because putting it in the fridg

If you haven't read it, I also enjoyed his book, 'House'. It has a similar theme to TSoaNM: multiple parties with the same ultimate goal, but conflicting approaches born out of self-interest. I read it shortly after buying th

These are only useful for otherwise-law-abiding people who go a little too fast. The trend in big cities in the US is to joyride/race with your license plates removed, obscured, or fake, and that's assuming the car isn't stol

The big benefit to me with SO is that with a question with multiple answers, the top up voted question likely works, since those votes are probably people that tried it. I also like the 'well, actually' responses and follow up, be

I wouldn't worry too much, diesel/fuel oil isn't like gasoline or other volatile flammable liquids that ignite easily from sparks. The burner 'gun' gets it to flame only by atomizing it with an intricate nozzle, lot

I think your interpretation of 'modest middle-class lifestyle' is incredibly skewed. That level of net income is, minimally, a 220K gross income. That is more than 90%+ of households make. By definition, earning in the 90th percen

Having done this recently, the pro tip is that you can pop out the old USB/SD panel by inserting a hook pick into the holes on the front and yanking. It will pop the plastic faceplate off, and then you can access the clips to remove th
