Ddg reckons average mailman salary is about 50k. That’s 1/8th the average house price. In 1990 it was about 25k with prices about 150k House prices are about 100k too high, they should be 300k not 400k One reason for this is more peopl

That’s a pretty low level. That’s lower than my pi hole. But I wouldn’t consider my pihole to be anything other than best endeavours (99.1%). Two would be fine, but there are common points of failure which would limit the solution

I’m paranoid about environmental situations so always have a failover, but then my DR plans include events such as “Thames barrier fails”.

No I don’t, I live in a small village. A taxi service would be brilliant, my son could get to scouts and back under his own steam. Automated or manual doesn’t matter, but we can’t sustain a taxi service.l - there’s one in a town about 6 mil

They also rely on a lot of people travelling from a small area to a small area. The square mile around me has fewer than 4 journeys an hour to anywhere, so how does that work with anything other than an automated taxi or at most minibus?

You really need two in physically different locations (ideally ASes) with some form of failover, assuming you want a reasonable guaranteed uptime

If the rentable price was 6k one year and 5k the next then you’d simply pay less rent for the land.

How many people have their own oil pump in the back yard? And are self sufficient with food? No man is an island. In an extreme situation when you have no grid for a week then yes, having to slum it by only heating one room. Every house hav

I’m not even sure what I used, it’s the same 5 lines I’ve used for years. Boom bang and on to the next problem. For every unicorn saas webapp $300k a year developers are writing there’s a thousand small pages. If you’re building a house you

I remember headline news when a village in my country was cut off for 36 hours. 5 days without grid is unthinkable.

50kWh of battery is quite cheap compared with a house and will keep you going a long time without grid power

I don’t get Fukushima driving a worry about nuclear but not about tsunami or earthquake which killed orders of magnitude more and caused Fukushima in the first place.

Yesterday I wrote a custom page which dumped out a table for some investigation. I threw jquery and a tablesorter plug-in. Without JS you get the table, but with you can easily sort and filter. Took about 2 minutes to add the optional filte

A source of truth should only be changed based on a deliberate controlled action. Your VM shouldn’t be changing IPs, if “somebody” changes it you have a chaotic network and you just want a network discovery tool. The change to the VM’s IP s

Your ansible (salt, chef, whatever) inventories should be generated from your source of truth, then when they run they should apply against your infrastructure. You shouldn’t be able to make any changes without driving them through the sour

I think Germany was orange. Certainly not clear if I should put North Korea or South Korea.

What do the colors mean Why was North Korea in dark green and South Korea in light green, and which should I name?

If you can travel between solar systems and have enough resources that you want to conquer (not just render inhabitable) a gravity well then you likely don’t need to worry about nukes - point defences will be able to detect and neutralise t

Sorry but anyone going because it’s green and not because it’s safe needs removing from the road.

Given it just needs to be done once, and a hdcp stripping device is easy to get, how does that work?

But if I wanted to do something other than watch the film why wouldn’t I just download it from a “pirate” site? What is the benefit to the rights holder in having a “secure device”

Drove me away. Increasing the price on my yearly renewal wouldn’t have been noticed. Sending me adverts means Amazon have lost out on far more than my cancelled prime subscription - I haven’t bought anything from them, and that’s over $100

But it’s a tiny amount, the work isn’t that specialist or hard to learn, the scaffolding is already in place. One or two days labor at most?

What’s the cost of domestic installation on a new house? I was looking at some builders adding a roof the other day, putting panels on at the same time wouldn’t add much in labour.

So the fridge just opened itself? Ok, I’ll bite. What do you do? Your phone has just told you the fridge door is open. Now what? You aren’t at home, so you can’t close it.
