Out of curiosity, do you know any tools that can't use JSON but can use YAML? JSON is supposed to be valid YAML.

I don't think it supports ublock but it does have an integrated AdBlock now. It's based on the library Brave used and supported ABP style block lists.

For some perspective: I don't have a full breakdown of the release materials on hand, but according to Wikipedia of the 45 PBq you quoted something like 20 PBq of that was Iodine-131 and 5 PBq of Cs-137. That's about 4.3 grams of

NNSA does pay into the broader ECP (which refers to the whole supercomputer program not just Frontier) but they aren't the only contributor. Like I said, DoE does build supercomputers for stockpile maintenance missions. Those compute

It's on the schedule for Frontier, which is still coming online. Summit (its predecessor) was, however.

by gh02t 4y ago
This is really not true, the stockpile stewardship thing is a separate part of DoE. Frontier does no nuclear weapons-related simulations at all and it does zero classified work (the space it's in/network it's on can't

Really depends on what you're doing re: homelab. Linode's pricing is still way more than what you're gonna pay for your own hardware at just about any tier. My home server is 16 core/64 GB and I use most of that to host

Do recommend, the ceramic bearings are a couple bucks and make it nice and smooth. No idea why Elecom doesn't just use those.

by gh02t 4y ago
Did you do the mod to replace the bearings with ceramic? I bought a Huge after seeing praise for it and was kinda underwhelmed with the experience out of box on the ruby bearings (they were sticky), but after doing the (trivial) mod to repl

Yeah I agree with you on this one, a radio as a safety device on a hike is secondary at best unless mayyyyybe if you're carrying a QRP HF rig like an IC705 that can actually reach quite a ways or you leave a portable repeater at camp.

Is the $50/month prorated into the cost if you end up net consuming for the grid? Or are any costs on top of that?

by gh02t 4y ago
Will note that having a license can be useful outside of ham, too. E.g. if you're a hiker it can be handy to be able to carry a "real" radio with you. The license test doesn't cost much and is super easy (the entire pool

I did something similar but went a bit more overboard because I could partially write it off as an experiment for work. I found this carrier board for the CM4: https://www.ebay.com/itm/384876455621 which is pretty nice

The use case that comes to mind for me is transparently and securely tunneling back to a central control server/common network with other devices it needs to talk to independent of the local network. So I could make a sensor for my par

Zigbee is also far lower data rate than even first-gen WiFi, which makes it more resilient. Radio protocols are usually a compromise between 1) range 2) power efficiency 3) throughput 4) robustness. Zigbee prioritizes 2, achieves 1 throug

I'm not saying that universities aren't using PhD students as cheap labor and then cutting them loose (they absolutely are), but a more charitable side to it is not that universities want to "hire up", it's that t

The ESP32 has a built in infrared decoder/encoder, I wonder if you could just skip the intended IR LED that it's supposed to drive and just wire it directly to the receiver pins on the target device with an appropriate resistor. T

Does anybody here know a Bluetooth (ideally) or NFC one? Preferably with a known protocol that has open source software... at least a known/open protocol to set the displays if not end-to-end open. I have wanted to play with one of the

I've also seen seismologists use it to sync geophones and other instruments. Synchronization is very important for doing time sensitive measurements for things like localization of earthquakes.

Quick googling tells me the typical diameter of an undersea cable is 25 mm. If we assume let's say 15 mm of that is actual fiber (wild guess) and approximate them as a single cylinder that works out to only about 0.03 km^3 of glass...

Kodi isn't a fork of the old school XBMC on Xbox, it's the direct continuation of the project. After they migrated their focus onto PC and other platforms the Xbox version was actually forked off into a separate codebase and dropp

I agree with you to an extent, but I will note that while most Americans don't directly use Twitter, I think a much much larger fraction are exposed to it . It's hard to escape when every news outlet and gossip farm cites it con

Yeah, I thought about low power mode but at least on my Samsung phone that kills basically all of the background apps/services, which would include any forwarding service. Or well, you can choose to allow background stuff but that&#x27

I've noticed "plugging in" seems to be less of a thing anymore and a lot of hotels seem to be wifi only (or perhaps I can't ever find the ethernet jack but I do look). You can still handle this with a travel router but i

At least some of the early Intel Macs ran hot too; I had a core duo plastic Macbook and it got uncomfortably hot.

Sure but you can't legally sell a product using the leaked keys AFAIU. Plus this supports 4K (albeit at 30 Hz). This board is built around what appears to be a fully legit HDMI chip with HDCP compliance best I can tell (MS2130? Github

Out of curiosity, why would the group that hands out HDCP certifications certify a chip like this? I get that practically speaking they have to issue keys for some capture devices for legitimate uses, but this chip/board seems like som
