Sorry, but nobody chose you as the arbiter of terminology. You can call your option home-hosting if you'd like, but we'll keep considering our scenarios to be self-hosting.

There is always going to be a point of failure. For many of us, self-hosting on a dedicated server, VPS, or some sort of cloud service is much better than keeping the hardware to do it at home. My stuff is spread out among a dedicated serv

If I self-host at home and my internet connection goes down so I can't access anything remotely, then I'm still SOL until I can get home. And millions of people are stuck with crappy upload speeds that make plenty of services tha

No, but I haven't seen Windows ask multiple times a day either. But iOS does try to get me to turn on iCloud every time the phone reboots and somewhat randomly without rebooting.

I was in Portland less than a month ago and had no problems. Sure, there was one time I crossed the street to avoid someone who was clearly homeless and mentally ill, but I never found myself feeling unsafe. Unfortunately homelessness is s

It really isn't when many cities have apps that give you real-time information as to when to expect the next bus.

The problem is that proper studies on this topic will take years to really understand the positives and negatives of having the majority of your employees working remotely. --Researchers need to be able to track people through their career

Every couple of years? My last Garmin lasted 5 years, and I only upgraded because the new model finally had enough new features that I wanted. Otherwise I'd still be using the old one. My "new" one is over 3 years old and

It's not historically done. Printed newspapers obviously didn't have links and neither did televised news. Even when the news media started publishing online, it's not like the courts were quick to post the decisions online

I can imagine some scenarios where portions of the report may be privileged - if there are photos of people's apartments or unique information. But the summary with a list of deficiencies and recommended/required actions should c

The problem you'll run into is when the HOAs are responsible for common areas or shared infrastructure. In some places the HOAs are responsible for the roads and there may be a common pool, gym, or other amenities. You'd be bette

Saying "you just need to want to learn it" is oversimplifying. It's not just learning how to secure it once, it's constantly watching for announcements regarding new vulnerabilities and being able to patch at short notic

Ubiquiti is honestly excellent when it works. When something goes wrong, though, their support really falls flat, as I experienced just this weekend when my Dream Wall died early on a Sunday morning. I'm still working with a makeshif

Keep in mind that inertia is a thing. Businesses used to have to make an impression on your card on carbon copy paper and physically send the slips in to be processed. When they started swiping cards, restaurants would only have one termi

It's hard to say if this would be approved even under a normal administration. If UP and NS get to merge, I would expect BNSF and CSX to try and do the same, leaving just two national train companies. But there are still hundreds of

This depends on the train lines and what trackage rights they have with the others. So it's not a given that one company will haul cargo from the west coast to the east coast. Interchanges will continue to be important since even wit

Again, Europe. Different from the US. European dryers generally don't heat above 45-60C, which isn't very effective at killing microbes. They do, however, use less electricity and are gentler on fabrics. Personally, though, I

Many people in Europe don't even have a dryer, so they're often not doing more than one load a day. And really, unless you have a really large family, you probably don't have to do laundry every day anyway. In Norway they al

I'm guessing you're in the US? European washing machines take longer due to requirements around lower water and electricity usage. Plus, it looks like that device is a combined washer and dryer, and they take even longer. My wash

It's definitely not loved by everyone here! Really the main concern a lot of people have is what will happen to prices if they got rid of it. The limits on how much they can mark up the prices does, like the previous commenter noted,

It's really only because of the taxes. Vinmonopolet prices are marked up by 10.4 NOK per liter plus 21% of the purchase price excluding taxes and duties up to a maximum of 250kr per item. Of course, this means they can't have lo

I've been using it for a long time as well, but I'm really tired of the constant up-sell attempts. I really just want a dead simple app to track my work, and I really feel like Jefit is moving further and further away from that.

"To the creators, they were trying to address the issue of americans not knowing where the country was on a map." This is a very glib take. The origin of the series was a 1985 educational computer game from Broderbund. The targe

They're just public/private keypairs that are generated either by a device (whether it's part of you phone, computer, or hardware key), browser, or password manager. I do agree that it can be a bit of a pain when it comes to

Yes, you absolutely should be able to, and printer companies should not be allowed to try and stop it.

The problem is that at some point you're always going to be subject to at least one country's laws, and at some point those laws will conflict with those of another country, even within the EU. Going on-prem is probably the safest

My understanding is that soft water is classified as 0-60 mg/L of CaCO₃ equivalent, so there's no such thing as "very soft"). Maybe they're claiming "Moderately hard" is actually soft water?

It's a sponsorship, so I'm not complaining, but if the goal was really to get people to use a password manager he would be sending them to Bitwarden since they have a free plan, plus their paid plan is only $10/year compared
