You are missing the parts where: 1. Ruby was only backend/apis, front-end app was PHP going over to Javascript, so Rails would have had a limited benefit 2. He specifically said he needed to do a lot of concurrency which can

On that note, Mikrotik also makes some fine hardware/software at prices lower than building your own and lower than most entry level consumer routers. I don't entirely get why people buy new hardware to flash with xx-WRT, although

As soon as you start working on the building, you pretty much have the replace the panel, as 1) it has to be secure, and 2) you have no guaranteed network connectivity. The closest to what you are asking could be a 2N IP video intercom with

Technically speaking, carbon dioxide, which is what I assume you refer to by carbon pollution, is not a pollutant. It is a non-toxic inert greenhouse gas, used by a very large quantity of organisms as an exchange gas.
