There are new 120v heat pump hot water heaters that operate in this way: https://cleantechnica.com/2021/11/29/120-volt-heat-pump-wate... "120 volt heat pump water heaters come with a mixing valve integra

I've moved Windows Server into contained status at my organization and will not accept new software that required a Windows Server to run. If you plan on shipping server software, I expect it to run on Linux, particularly in a containe

Writing a few, not installing. I was still in hardware development, with a bit of software exposure. Using a shortcut to represent and calculate dates at the time was the norm.

This sent me down a rabbit hole last night looking into the current state of bpfilter. I ended up discovering that firewalld introduced a policies feature without me noticing. Looks like it may potentially cover my gaps.

Found motivation to look it up. This document suggests leaving enough space between the rows to accomodate the runoff. "EMLR allows solar panels associated with ground-mounted solar farms to be considered pervious if they are configur

Haven’t most distributions moved on to nftables? I’m looking for a Linux firewall with declarative, file based configuration I can emit from configuration management. Probably driving nftables. I’m currently using firewalld, but I run into

Glad the article mentions y2k. The massive hype and hysteria resulted in all the systems of significance being patched.

I ran into the oddest thing after switching ISPs. IPv6 kept dropping out with my devices and I traced it back to the LAN side of my router accepting router advertisements from inside my network. Easy enough to fix, I flipped the flag to not

Try adding mDNS to the mix. Works pretty well for link local addresses.

Curiosity question for the large scale pros. How is rainwater runoff handled in these large solar farms? Trenches and drains to retention ponds? Or do they somehow try and redirect the water under the panels to utilize the surface area unde

Drove by a 108 megawatt, 765 acre installation last week (looked it up later). It really didn’t look much different than the surrounding farm land. In fact you could see further than you could with corn crops. The panels didn’t come all the

I had an M1 Macbook Air screen delaminate for no apparent reason. I'm guessing that was the reason, but it looked like a giant bubble formed right in the middle of the screen. I'm guessing all the edges delaminated? It looked like

Residential solar installation in the US has become infested with scummy business practices. It's nearly on the level of traveling roofing companies. I don't think you're out of line. Get a couple of quotes and you'll se

If you're looking to get fancier, I would suggest looking at variable speed compressors, namely inverter driven compressors like the ones used in minisplits. Mitsubishi has the most popular: https://www.mitsubishicomfort.com

I recommend AWS Control Tower for getting this all setup. It's also compatible with Terraform in more than one way.

Not rooting your phone, but hacking the baseband. And since we're talking about disassembling devices and performing low voltage attacks to reveal secrets, I would draw the analog to baseband hacking. https://resources.infos

If it gives you direct/raw access to the control plane, you then may be able to launch denial of service and other attacks that would negatively impact the network and other terminals. I don't know anything about the Starlink prot

I was hoping their partnership with Dish would allow me to instantly spin up a 5G network slice with my VPC over the top. This is cool too.

My Mac displays a permanent warning that my AP name isn't unique enough. Funny enough, I've never seen anyone else use it in the wild.

As a manager, I agree with this. Although, I would suggest setting the stage sooner by expressing some discontent of compensation. Your manager may not have a clue, and may have 50 other fires. You need to speak up so that your concerns are

I believe something similar happened with IBM. In the 90s, IBM was a household brand name that ranked up there with Coca Cola. Even in 2007 it was 5th on the Global 500 [1]. However, IBM pulled out of the consumer market. Watson on Jeopardy

I think it's because they feel it's a choice between doing it once for the new hire or N times for all the existing employees. The latter is very difficult to do.

Yes. I can achieve line rate throughput (940mbps measured tcp throughput) with a USB 3.0 gigabit dongle on one side, and the built-in ethernet on the other. Out of bos without tuning, it's more like 750mbps maximum throughput. Most of

Interesting. I was wondering how the heck glyphosate was persisting long enough to make it to food. You can, for example, plant seed immediately after applying and it will grow well.
