Even if they use firmware encryption, the footprint for most of the ESP32 packages is really easy to desolder and replace with a fresh one under your control with basic tools. This option is harder if the ESP32 is speaking some digital prot

Most of warhead verification is actually verifying a given weapon IS a real weapon (without giving away its internal design, which is the hard part), not that something is not a weapon because generally you're trying to keep an accou

Kinda, but at least for gamma radiation (which is the main one you care about finding at standoff), the same radiation that induces the ionization these lasers detect will go right through tupperware and ionize the air outside, which will b

I think OP is saying Proxmox isn't really that complicated compared to K8. I guess my perspective is warped since I know what I'm doing pretty well, but installing Proxmox and setting up some basic VMs or LXC containers (especiall

Yeah, according to most of the articles reporting on this there are over a billion ESP32s out there. I suspect that the 1 billion number is actually counting the ESP8266 as well, but still there are a lot of them and I see them used in a lo

Unifi has improved a lot in very recent times in terms of both features and ease of use. I wasn't that keen on their router/firewalls previously, but I quite like them now and the prices on some of their gateway hardware are unb

Easiest first step is to see if your current router has support for OpenWRT. I find OpenWRT kinda hard to use, but a lot of people swear by it and it's very capable even. More powerful options are projects like PfSense or Opnsense, but

The Pi is familiar and comfortable for a lot of people who wouldn't otherwise use Linux or run any kind of server. It's genuinely not the best option in a lot of respects, but it's also the only thing a lot of people know and

Look on eBay for old 4 port Intel NICs, you can get em for very cheap and they work forever. Beware Opnsense and Pfsense are based on BSD and you're really not supposed to touch the underlying OS by design anyway, so you will need to v

Opnsense is not like OpenWRT, it targets running on relatively powerful generic x86 hardware. Intel CPUs and networking hardware usually works best because of driver support on BSD, but it will work on others. I say "relatively" b

There are ways now (as in, very recent) to bypass the ONT for AT&T, people have developed custom GPON SFP module firmware that lets you connect directly. There are also multiple ways to bypass the gateway authentication, be it extractin

Not using Arch anymore, but I did have this issue recently on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I switched KDE to Wayland (defaulted to X11 for some reason) and the issue went away. Worth a try if you haven't already.

Indeed, I did some basic double checking before I posted but I guess the info I read was bogus+I was also having a brain fart to not know better because you're definitely right. Thanks for correcting.

Most are electrolytic for practical reasons including cost and available capacity+voltage rating. Electrolytes in the capacitors dry out in the hot weather as well as other things like other components going bad and drawing too much current

It's more about resolution. Products of small numbers get small a lot faster than sums. Likewise for dividing two small numbers. The smallest possible quad precision number is a lot smaller than the smallest possible double precision o
