Do you have any pictures or plans of the layout? Most of the pictures I've seen of vans people have built barely have enough room for a kitchen.

If you don't want to learn DevOps why not use a PaaS like Heroku? That way when you want to learn DevOps, you can move your application without rewriting large swathes of it. It's funny but when I learned to code basically all ISP

As a Linux user I agree with GP that Linux is only as safe as it is because it's not a target. It's pretty clear that large tech companies cannot be trusted, I definitely wouldn't run a binary provided by Facebook on my machi

Yeah I got the OBi device as I intended to use it as a VOIP gateway to connect to Asterisk, but in the end I was able to do everything I needed on the device.

Some of the spam calls I received were from US phone numbers (I'm in the UK), but when I answered I ended up connected with someone with a Southern Asian accent speaking rather bad English.

The whole reason why I did this was because I was playing around with Asterisk and VOIP, and wanted to connect a PTSN line to it (which the OBi device was marketed as), but it turned out I could do everything on the device. Anyway, at the t

Do you use ZFS on the desktop too, or something different? I've used btrfs raid on a server before, and it worked apart one incident which took it two weeks (for 4TB of data) to recover from, so I'm probably going to move to ZFS o

A few years ago my parents were getting a lot of spam calls on their landline. Basically all of them were automated calls, either a recorded message or you were connected to a person shortly after the call was connected. I bought an OBi100

> The third is inexcusable, yes It depends what exactly the keys are used for. If it's just for secure communication between the app and the bulb, and the keys are different for each bulb, I don't see any issue with this.

What is electricity prices went up with usage? So you get X kWh per month for one price, then after that it's 1.5x the rate. You could just do this on residential rates only so businesses aren't affected.

I'd be surprised if there haven't been economic studies on this type of action. So either the executives don't care, as they know people are replaceable and it won't hurt the company either way, or they don't care a

My experience is even locals wait and don't press the button. Near where I live there is a pedestrian crossing across a busy road, and I've seen people waiting there many times without pressing the button. This is in Zone 2, far f

One thing worth bearing in mind when bootstrapping a company is that to be successful you just need to earn enough to cover costs and pay yourself something at the end of the day. Which is completely different to 95% of the companies you re

Given how many marriages end up in divorce, and how many more must stick together but create a hostile environment for children, avoiding that should be seen as an achievement too.

A few years ago I was a 'victim' of identify theft and someone ordered Sky to be installed at my parents address. They thought it was a gift, so gladly let the installation guy go ahead without asking me. I assume they did this to

Even well reviewed devices aren't guaranteed to work. At work I had a TB3 dock from Belkin, that was one of the top sellers on Amazon. Everything worked on the MBP, but when I tried connecting my ThinkPad (T470s) all the peripherals an

I've used Glasses Direct (based in the UK, but ship across Europe) before and I really liked the lenses. They seem to last longer than the ones I get from high street costs (maybe because they are polycarbonate?). My only complaint is

Have there been any developments on this since GDPR came into effect? Per the legislation, you have to explicitly opt in before any data sharing can happen (unless it's a business requirement, but it's pretty hard to argue somethi

Do any smart locks actually do that? That just seems negligent from the manufacturer. To access my apartment building I need to go through two magnetically locked doors, so if the power is off they are off, but I assume that's for safe

There is nothing wrong with having comfort, but if you seek to grow and fulfil your potential (either in career, as a person, spiritually, etc), comfort is a trap you can easily get stuck in. Maybe you have a good job, but feel like your ca

Product placement is pretty common in Netflix's own shows, however they do it well so it doesn't feel like an ad. For example KFC in Stranger Things and Dunkin Donuts in House of Cards.

I thought SMS was built on top of the existing GSM signalling protocols, and so is effectively free to carriers. The bandwidth costs of a few hundred byte message are nothing compared to streaming a video or a phone call. The only reason wh

I would have called Airbnb as soon as I found there was an issue and made them book me in somewhere else. You are paying a service fee to them for a reason.

I remember during college I was working at Tesco, and a customer way buying a lot of baby food, and she had received some Clubcard coupons for them. I asked her if she had grandchildren, she said no, but her husband really likes baby food.

Contactless can't be used for monthly and annual travelcards, as well as concessions. Additionally the capping works slightly different, for example if you only use buses or trams they have a weekly cap that only works with Oyster. For

Regarding payments I'd suggest you integrate with something that handles all the tax compliance responsibilities and invoicing for you. You can relatively easily do it yourself with a few weekends work, but it's not really worth i

GitLab themselves have this issue too. They openly publish their formula for calculating salaries [0], but it is very strongly weighted against the local rent index. If you spent all of your salary on rent, then yes it would be fair, but if

I wonder if it could just be that the child abuse workers can more easily verify cases over the weekends. Maybe they need to talk to parents (who are likely working other days) before they can mark it as verified?
