This is the most interesting system I've heard about for dotfiles. How do you organize the org files? Having a single org file with all my dotfiles in it could be interesting but probably unwieldy. It could be interesting to use code b

I looked up the Google drive pricing and the costs increase quickly over that 100GB level. I'm going to use 3TB of data for my example because that is approximately the amount of data I would be backing up at work. The cost for Google

Even with the large data retrieval bill he still saves ~$100 vs the price of keeping that data in S3 over the same time period. Reading this honestly makes me think glacier could be great for a catastrophic failure backup.

How would he be completely self sufficient? He needs water and food at least. How do you dig a 200 foot well by yourself? Farming at the level actually needed to sustain someone year round is going to take more technology than my backyard g

What is your definition of off the grid? I can't help but think you are being pedantic here. He mentions he could dig a well, but it's more cost effective to have water shipped in. As far as Internet access I'm sure that he n

Thanks for the suggestions. Frankly though I would be looking for something available that we can build larger and smaller pieces with. I was looking and we've built a few standing desks, for example we built a 96"x42" sit&#x

I see lots of diy cheap standing desks on here. Is there a market for high end standing desks? I work for a small casegoods manufacturer that builds wood furniture to order. I'm just curious if I should bother taking a shot at designin

Something about this comment is really bugging me and I'm not sure what it is. I think I'm in agreement that giving people unnecessary medical procedures is probably a bad idea. Maybe it's just because I don't understand

Lets take your tar example. The -z and -x options are flags, they specify binary on/off options. You can specify all the flags separately on the command invocation like so: $ tar -x -z -f foo.tar.gz However typing -flag -flag2 -

Maybe I don't understand what this service actually does. When you take away the file expiration and the convenience of not having to manage your own infrastructure what is left? I've had this script in ~/bin for years. S

If you only have a limited amount of willpower wouldn't the best idea be to wield it in the most effective manner possible? The app just gives you some tools in order to help you be more effective, it is still up to you to use them. Yo

I would say stick with i3 unless you are really a fan of lisp. I used StumpWM for years until I discovered i3, however a few months ago I switched back to StumpWM. The floating layer in stump is quite frankly terrible. Pop up dialogs often

I'm in the same boat where I work with XP running on our CNC machines. You can only lock them down so much and still have support from the manufacturer. It's just a standard xp box like any office pc would be running. The machines
