Check out local used appliance stores. You can probably get something ~10 years old that will look new enough but still be somewhat reparable and non-smart. Shops that sell used appliances generally also repair them, so they'll know wh

I love to hear other people doing this. In the last year I've repaired the dishwasher, washer, and dryer at my rental unit, and the dishwasher at our home. These are all old and cheap units but were surprisingly fixable. Lots of videos

I'm still using it, 5 years later. I spend an hour every few months to run updates and stuff, but otherwise it's been pretty easy going.

This is the real spirit of entrepreneurship. Hard work, learn quick, make mistakes, but get it done. With skin in the game rather than burning through investor money. I hope to read more of these posts, but I know Chris cannot afford to spe

CDNs make a lot of sense for improving load times and for the overall efficiency of network utilization, but I worry that the current ones (Cloudflare et al.) contribute too much to the recentralization of the Internet. What we need is for

That's like saying blue bubblegum and pink bubblegum make for a diverse range of foods. I guess maybe that seems like the case, given we've all mostly been eating bubblegum for some time. There are far more similarities in these s

Agreed. The architecture diagram [1] describes a flow that is identical to how a user on Ripple buys IOUs from a gateway, trades or spends them with other users, and how a receiver redeems them with the gateway for the original currency. Ri

Good article, but why is ppl (people) abbreviated all the time? It's hard to take it seriously when it's written like a text message.

I keep an upload.sh script with each site, which basically just contains the rsync command required to sync it up to a server. For the most part I host them on a VPS myself, using Sovereign (to which I'm a contributor). http:/&#x

This may be a "feature" but it's a kludge. I can appreciate that for many consumers, having your card expire is an annoying anachronism with no benefit. They simply want it to keep working so that their Netflix account keeps

The observation that an average sounds flat is a good one. The relative phase of sounds in each channel could do weird things and cancel each other out when averaged. However, most modern music is mastered in such a way that the stereo chan
