I’m a crypto fence sitter, and I mostly think these things are scams. But I think that the distributed-public-database thing has real value. Companies come and companies go, and opening up data to the scrutiny of daylight is sorta a prisone

Years ago, I was pulled over while driving a rental car that had been reported stolen by an earlier renter a few weeks prior. I'm certainly glad that the officers in Atlanta approached the situation professionally and without any cuffs

I like the social impact of real-time disclosure of my location. I’d rather share my location for an hour with someone that I’m meeting than send them periodic messages guessing about how far away I am. I think Apple has done a really good

I think that anyone who’s been around the block in an operations or customer support role in a tech company will likely have some really good answers to that sort of question. If someone asked me that question, I’d probably start with “oh b

There are many types of suburbs in the US (and worldwide, of course). I grew up partly in a suburb of New York. The towns around there date back 300 to 400 years, and feel like it. There are walkable town centers with coffee shops and train

Have you tried building in a rpi virtual machine on a Mac? I have no idea what the performance would look like, but it’d be easy enough to try, especially since you are already managing your own max builders. I want to say I followed these

I run a PiHole and a Tailscale exit node on my Unifi routers (previous generation). The Tailscale exit node lets me do both site-to-site VPNs and site-specific egress. The one thing keeping me from site network nirvana is that I haven'
