This is silly. It was a publicly accessible URL. A better analogy would be leaving your window blinds open and being upset that your neighbors can see you inside your home. Your neighbors aren't at fault, you are, and you can face cr

Do you have a write up somewhere? Building that stuff from scratch sounds like a hell of a project. I've toyed with the idea, but the technical barrier and responsibility is a steep obstacle that I'm not 100℅ ready to commit to at

From what I remember reading when I dug into it, there's a group (or groups) dedicated solely to helping people get their permit for this. The FCC does not make it easy by any means, but when you know all the invisible hoops to jump t

Something I've been kind of playing with the idea of is setting up an Low Power FM[1] station to reach my local community. Since around 2000 the FCC has let people get licenses for a non-commercial 1-100W FM radio station. Some of thes

It can be difficult to disprove residency, especially if you can say you travel a lot for your work. I've uh...heard of people that are residents of Nevada for tax purposes. They have a tiny furnished apartment and their car is registe

I tried finding a decent text editor for android a little while ago and was not successful. FOSS git on iPad doesn't exist. SSH on either is very limited to say the least. An effective terminal is a pipe dream. Crapple and Scroogle hav

This is more of a thought experiment, but would also serve as a decent backup in case of natural disaster, house burning down, etc. As for safety deposit boxes, those can be closed out for nonpayment, bank branches will shut down, etc. Not

The system I'd trust most is to have 2 attorneys given sealed envelopes with instructions to give them to your wife on your death. One attorney is given an envelope with the passwords to your accounts (or to your password manager) encr

You could audio book it, there's only a couple of diagrams in it, none of which are strictly necessary, and the book itself is fairly engaging. It's more about imparting general principles than giving you a flowchart or checklist

I like this. I'm diving into the zettlekasten thing after reading How to Take Smart Notes , and stopping to think about how I write so that it's as simple and clear as possible, while still being informative enough for my future

If we go back to 19th/20th century tech it'll be a problem because all the resources which are easy to extract have already been got. Much of the resource extraction done today is only possible because modern technology enables it

I came in here to say as much. I even had a railroad spike I found from a (pre-?) Civil War era railroad line when I was 13 or 14, but my mom threw it away at the time because it was "junk".

Serious question I have about carbon offests with respect to forestry. If you pay me money to not cut my trees and they all burn up in a fire, do you lose your carbon credits, and if so, do I owe you a refund?
