Yes, it is winter here. Not quite as cold as back towards the tail end of global cooling in the 90s when we'd rock -40c down in the valleys. Now Residents of Boston from back around 2003-2005 will remember that one winter when we had -

The something or other axiom: Updates to most software have been inevitably harmful to any original user of that software. That goes for programs, that goes for microcode.

No, I mean any and all Fed agencies, FBI, Border Patrol, Secret Service, etc, etc. Yes, even the Postal Marshals.

They absolutely do all of that, if you live within 100 miles of a federal border, and anywhere else they happent to have jurisdiction. Being detained by feds sans warrant is patently unfun, lemme tell you that. I suppose I'm happy for

Heyo. I run a small rural ISP using off-the-shelf Mikrotik P2P hardware. Cost per AP is about 80 dollars a unit for 100mb bi-directional link that hits out on average 16km, depending on your LOS.

What's the total ROeI (return on energy invested) to engineer, build, deploy any piece of renewable? Multiple decades. What is is with nuclear? A day? A few weeks at most? That's why I point out the physics bit. This isn't ab
