   It isn't automated. And in the case of the thing I am building I can't help other people because you can't delegate the creation of a takeout either.

   Yeah the fire drill to make sure everything works is crazy important. I just wish that storing things like keys on paper was easier. At CoreOS we put some keys on printed QR codes and scanned them with an airgapped laptop every 90 days to c

   For local documents I find it way easier than cloud stuff. 1. Local disk 2. Time machine ssd 3. Backblaze backup agent For cloud stuff the services make it so hard. I have been working on a service off and on to backup Google photos to an S

   What are you using it for? I use a normal Android phone and a phone sized Android e-reader. IMO, doing anything beyond reading long form material on an Android eink device is too painful to replace a phone because most apps have animations

   Without putting a price on the carbon externality the market can't figure it out though. Idle time of workers is a pretty well understood market problem so I don't think that is an externality. Am I misunderstanding your position?

   Absolutely! I have started a project to encourage municipalities to use land use to protect their water and other sensitive spots from service stations. The EPA has all sorts of silly guidelines like saying setback a gas station 500 feet fr

   I am surprised and confused this isnt a wrapper of systemd 'machinectl'. The functionality seems similar except the port forwarding automation as far as I can tell. Really nice tool to have for development though! https:/&#x

    I think it all depends on the location of the service station. The big gas stations on major freeways will likely survive. But, the local neighborhood stations near suburbs or other housing will likely go away as folks charge where they par

    I was skimming through the EPA’s Underground Storage Tank Responsible Parties documentation and getting more and more horrified at how I am sure these companies will structure themselves, via lease agreements or other mechanisms, to limit t

    Exactly the term the EPA uses is Brownfield: > Petroleum brownfields, such as old abandoned gas stations, are being cleaned up and reused to the benefit of communities across the country. EPA’s Office of Underground Storage Tanks (OUST)

    A similar problem: what happens when low margin fuel/petrol/gas station businesses start going insolvent? I wonder if states are ready for businesses to be abandoning their underground storage tank infrastructure in a decade or tw

    Thanks for this tip! My daughter recently got into model rockets and it seemed to me that untreated balsa wood was unlikely to last more than a few launches.

    I didn't know about kingrow. And the Hisense Touch was released after I bought the inkpalm. It looks like a great device though!

    I bought a phone sized ereader and it has really amped up how much I can read. Now when I have a moment to spare I can decide to pull out my phone or my ereader and after a certain time in the afternoon I plug in my phone and leave it so I

    Have you had a good experience with Awair? The last time I looked it seemed like they had no recommended way to clean the sensors. And in my limited experience PM2.5 sensors do need periodic cleaning to remain accurate. My air filter has on

    It is too bad that PurpleAir doesn’t do CO2 last I looked. I really want a single device.

    I have a raspberry pi and tried to run something like this and it is just so much work. So I bought a Helm v2 and like it thus far for photo backup and my secondary newsletter email domain. If there was a company offering an auto update OS

    I have one and really like it! 1. Like most things you have to trust the company producing everything. The closest thing I have seen to auditable hardware is Bunnie's Precursor. 2. You cannot install your own applications right now. An

    I received my Helm v2 last week and it has worked great for Android photo backup and email subscriptions like substack. I have not been bold enough yet to move my primary email domain over yet. Apple mail and Fairmail on Android give a nice
