Sure but they're pretty much overall, so adding "coz he used a suicide power cord" would show even less people actually affected"

It didn't need another one which is why I won't be showing it ;p. It was also project where I learned Go and did a bunch of redesigns along the way so it is a but of a mess. I'd also hate idea of someone else actually using i

Same. Just eating one proper meal with food that doesn't instantly metabolize sometime after noon. Occasionally some low-calorie-vegetable-only snack before sleep. And switching anything bread-like out, a bunch of nice baked potatoes k

In well designed USB port you'd at least have diodes shorting it to ground/vcc. But they are designed for ESD protection, so while high voltage, not that much energy The problem is that there is no fuses, while ethernet basically

Well ,first off, in POE powered devices it is connected to device, and I'd imagine in many cases (of being cheap) it would be directly coupled to device. > So running DC would probably just melt the cable or transformers but is not

Pretty much. In Rust you have to convince compiler what you're doing makes sense or tell compiler to fuck off, in C it's pretty much "it's your funeral, whatever dude"

I agree. Making a personal blog engine gave me new hatred for anything frontend and a deal of compassion for people that have to deal with that mess professionally.

Yeah but it's only similar from a very far away. Like just simple resistor, in electronics flow increases linearly with voltage, in hydraulics it doesn't. Or how in some hydraulics system it's not really the flow that's

Well, it does offer more varied stuff from the get go so I can see why someone wouldn't want to limit their options, HAProxy was and is purely a proxy while NGINX is a bit of everything. SPOE/SPOA added a bit of programmability to

I'm not sure that's cheaper than putting extra door in... certainly more after battery dies and needs to be replaced.

If it was alternator driven generator it would most likely drift into phase with the network, as the network would either break, or allow it to spin faster depending on in which direction the difference is. That's actually how the big

I know he's a skilled EE and minimalizes chance for that but still, accidents happen and I'm also not exactly fan of essentially masochism on screen

That's the whole issue. Used correctly sure, you only throw away RCD protection but most people needing it won't have a clue.

I'm guessing sentiment is "well even if it's a lie, it's a lie in good cause". And it's not exactly easy to even fact check anything

Not cheaply > instead of three: (female-male, female-female, male-male). One. Male to female. From where power flows to where power is delivered. There is no reason for F-F or M-M power cables to exist. The whole point is to have power s

Most people would complain as they don't plan on using generator and extra socket and switch is extra cost. People needing that cable are just being cheap and not wanting to do it properly

The breaker is the part of the circuit for the other circuits you'd have something like gen -> circuit A -> main bus -> circuit b-> load | main fuse/switch

The fuse would blow, because you have mains ->main fuse -> circuit fuse -> generator

Water analogues kinda assumes you somehow know hydraulics but not electrics tho.

The fact it got taught in school is only lightly correlated to what adult will know. It's also indirect, like, math teaches you everything you need to know to calculate load or do your taxes, or home budget, yet people have problems wi

Is there any good OSS solution that supports multiple servers and modern storage targets ? There is Bareos/Bacula but that just pretends everything is a tape and generally works badly/quirky because of that.

If we assume for the sake of argument simple RAID 6 setup, to lose say a block of data you'd need to * have a bad block on one drive * have a bad block in *EXACTLY SAME LOCATION* on the second drive * have a bad block in *EXACTLY SAME

A lot of them, absolutely, but this particular one had for a long time (arguably still has) useful properties. Like if you're inside same network you can just connect to "db" server and don't care what's the rest of
