Yea, I used some bash scripts to manage ~250 rack mounted servers running Linux with a bunch of custom kernel shit. I don’t even remember everything it did but they specifically couldn’t use virtualization with this system due to latency an

There ain’t no way my house is getting airtight, I open the windows every day, and in the summer most of the night. I am very careful about leaks and such so the wet tends to stay outside except for some condensation occasionally which I ca

I’ve heard stories from my navy days, such as when they accidentally synchronized to the grid 180 out of sync (the automatic sync failed, this one wasn’t manual) and the two diesel generators ripped themselves from the hull and threw themse

Do you have any good sources of info for your any my type of home; old and wood? I’m worried that some of the upgrades and paint done to this house is preventing as much “breathing” as it was designed for, and I don’t want my house to rot a

I hope longer because my house is 70 years old and all wood. It’s single wall construction, also. I’m really enjoying not having to worry about plaster wallboard or anything since the wall boards are all actually wood, too. I do see boards

I see, I guess I should have specified that I was talking more about email services like Fastmail, where you are just paying for email and if you break the TOS you probably were doing something absolutely bone-headed, and if not then you ca

When I was in the military cell phones were extremely new, but I honestly don't see why most commands don't say "leave phones and other electronics at home when coming to base" and then you just tell anyone who needs to

How often do people break a TOS? I’m not sure that’s a problem normal people should worry about. There’s always a TOS, whether it’s at the email service or the ISP or the data center.

Generally blackouts are controlled somewhat and can be caused by protective circuits to ensure generators stay online when the load becomes too great for the generation. In Texas, the blackouts were so vast and the generation sources were a

They’ve had major issues with weather preparedness even in the aftermath of those major events, where the grid nearly went black. Even the northeast outages I’ve recalled from my life haven’t gotten to the point that they were talking about

by ok_dad 3y ago
Why Texas vs California? Both are examples of corporate capture of regulators with unreliable and dangerous grids as a result. California has fires due to it, Texas gets outages, they both suck. It’s not fucking red v blue in here.

by ok_dad 3y ago
Texas has so many issues with its grid due to deregulation that people die when it’s colder or hotter than usual there. Not a great example of the free market working out well for them.

I really hope if YC goes under that HN has some support from elsewhere. This is the only social media I do because of how good the insights are in the comments and I don’t think I could recreate the feed quality anywhere else, even on my ow

Would it be reasonable to put a WiFi camera in a faraday cage with a micro WiFi transmitter attached to Ethernet? I was thinking about that because my WiFi gets bogged down with too many cameras and thought it might be nice to still use che

They used the machine here, and depreciation rules mean you can do that, but most companies will still try and keep using a machine until it’s no longer working for that process, whether or not it was depreciated fully. Also, I expect there

The deception is that normal people won’t expect you can destroy your own property and claim insurance without being put in the clink.

And why should a studio be allowed to claim a movie they destroyed on taxes again? I’m not interested in the answer, “it’s legal,” because a lot of things are legal that should be illegal and vice versa, I’m looking for your moral reasoning

by ok_dad 3y ago
If I burn down my house and claim insurance or tax losses, they’ll laugh and send me to jail. Explain how a corporation doing the effectively the same thing should get a write off. It’s a sham.

PSVR2 is an excellent headset, I’m not buying PCVR until those headsets are on the level of PSVR2. OLED or micro LED is a must, and foveated rendering is good for performance on pixel dense displays. Plus, inside out tracking instead of ext

The only thing I want PCVR for is simracing; I don’t particularly enjoy other games. I have a PSVR2 from when I planned to just use a console but now I use an IR head tracker in iRacing, which is like a poor man’s VR. Too bad they won’t get

Your comment us needlessly pedantic, as I linked the full answer and said “~12 months” which is “about twelve months” which is not incorrect, though I’m sure the average is probably closer to 18-20 months for being removed from the U3 stat

Thanks for writing it in a clearer way than I could write it. I sometimes long for a set of different drugs that people could take that would impair their brain/body for a short time in a similar way to how people experience the world

This is the saddest post I have read on HN so far. All three bullets you listed are not your fault. * Being depressed isn't a reason to get fired, everyone has human emotions and issues and we're supposed to be supporting people i

I remember using something similar like a decade ago, maybe one I linked below? I added one to a paper for a math class I turned in and the teacher loved it so much that the next semester he used it on almost every handout; it was quite ann
