That's why I ultimately stopped using my pi-hole. It works great most of the time, but there are enough exceptions that other users on my network (wife and kids) weren't able to address. I now use the adguard public DNS service

Is the big island the biggest just because it is the newest? Were the other islands bigger and have eroded over time?

I don't know if it's an industry specific thing but my parents worked for big defense contractors and they would often talk about layoffs in conjunction with offers that people could take to leave voluntarily. Always signed crazy

I ran a 1000 person NodeJs group for 4 years. I was aware meetup would offer up the group to anyone if I stepped away. When it started dwindling and the other co-organizers lost interest I made an announcement that we were sunsetting the gr

It's hard to vote with your dollar if the company can lie to you about the price. Sure in this case you'll find out the actual cost eventually but at a point where changing your vote is much harder (maybe a deposit has already be

I don't know if this is light weight enough but I have some experience with [Harbor]( https://goharbor.io/ ) for our company. The ACL it presents is simple enough. Maybe it was just our implementation but it ended runn

Not only did I answer the phones but I haphazardly volunteered to help out for a shift at the local factory. I spent a shift Christmas Eve (with tinny music over the PA) crimping wires to a transformer. At the end of the shift they explaine

I worked at Lutron my first two years after getting my EE. I wasn't on the wireless products but we did do crazy amounts of fussing over fall back behaviors and corner cases. We very much developed the software with the attitude of har

You think it's bad dragging a tent, chairs, and a soft sided cooler over the dunes now? Once you get the powered buggy the family is going to expect you to bring BBQs, couches, and enormous bomb proof yetis and you'll miss the si

I'm 100% the same way in preferring dead tree books over my kindle. I almost switched over to kindle over the bedside table lamp keeping up my spouse until I got into very high end flashlights. One quality of a high end flashlight is

At least these are two similar "driving mode android app" products. I feel like Microsoft is a worse offender at this. As soon as they get some traction with one product they start overloading the name. Think of all the unrelate

As others have said they are referring to different things, but what really rubs me the wrong way is the sense of Amazon wanting to have its cake and eat it too. They want to keep their distance (do it on your own time with your own resourc

The Boxabl house folds up much more compact and in their render at least it is being delivered behind a pickup truck. So it seems they are solving a different problem and might be able to get these things into places a large tractor with

Possibly that small, but I'm a family of five so sleeping that many quickly becomes a problem. Bunk beds and squeezing in are fine but we're +1 over what almost every dwelling considers family-sized. I hadn't considered a tra

There's a render on the site where a regular looking pickup truck tows it to a site, then it unfolds itself magically. The video of an actual unit had the crane assist. Elon's house aside the product seems to be mostly vaporware s

I was wondering that myself. I fantasize about plopping a house down out in the desert, but their video shows a crane used to unfold it. By the time you get all the heavy machinery out there to prep the land and assemble the structure you

I started using Duolingo a month ago. When you are out of hearts you can do "practice" sessions to replenish. Sometimes it gives you the option to watch an ad, but only a single time. My wife bought the Pro plan where you never

I did indeed. The only headline I had seen here on HN was about ~~Coin~~Basecamp and I have been thoroughly reprimanded. It really adds new perspective to Basecamp's announcement though because I thought some of their changes seemed u
