That doesn't preclude them from including examples of the most commonly used flags and scenarios. Man pages for newer tools, like all of the lvm utilities, include examples at the end. I would like to see it similar to what powershell

Begs the question does this include the inefficiencies in its products over the years, which due to their breadth of their adoption, effected hundreds of millions of computers? I'm thinking the carbon footprint of Windows update's

That was my thinking with going with MerlinWRT. I splurged and got an Asus ax88u, then spent two weeks trying to get it to work before returning it. I do think part of the issue is WiFi technology is diverse enough that the latest and great

I like the your ambient noise approach. What are you using for sounds do you have your config online? I am looking to make my house more reactive as well. One area where HA has been a godsend was integration with TV/Music/idle off

I would say Windows 3.1 -> Windows NT + Windows 95/98 -> Windows 2000. The transformation from the sausage factory of the indestructible, but inflexible, NT and the fragile set of hacks which was 95 into 2000 environment was the

I agree. The whole point of the book was that there were outliers which gave people certain edges which made their success more likely than one would think. The examples I recall were hockey players who were born at certain times so during

It does make a case for not using common user names. I used to always try to use my first name in the early days of the Internet, but it was almost always taken. The one time I got it was with one of the Maxis online accounts and for the ne

Yes it in the midst of all the complexities of the various monopolies, oligopolies and inefficiencies in the modern marketplace, its refreshing to see the system work as promised. Just like in the Athlon days, even people who would never in

I hope this doesn't torpedo meetup.com. They aren't the best for sure, but they are the right mix between old school mailman list and facebook.

I'm always wondering what are people doing in these homelabs that they need this type of hardware. I worked for an MSP and sometimes people would take home an old DL380 or something, but it always seemed like a waste. With a 16GB NUC I

It depends on your time frame. The Amiga got lots of nice stuff in the beginning, and got a whole bunch of great developers, mainly from the UK, but over time the PC market was much bigger and PCs were always getting more powerful. For me t

Well G Suite deals in academia allow for unlimited storage. If you use the official tools they will throttle you, but if you use something like rclone https://rclone.org/ you can sometimes circumvent these limits. When I wa

Yes in my case the pi would crash, and the SD card changes would revert. I don't know if its changed or not, but at the time you couldn't check uptime because the lack of a hardware clock meant it didn't know the time when it

I was bullish when I got my first Pi to run Home Assistant (before hass.io), but got discouraged when the sd card failures were gas-lighting me by silently reverting my code changes. That and the lack of hardware clock hampering some of the

It's just that I keep finding cool hats/phats like this that feel that way. :) I'm wondering about the possibility of building a high latency Kubernetes cluster to make use of the excess compute of some of the Raspberry Pis.

Docker is a front end to underlying technologies which do the work. Red Hat created a Kubernetes compatible set of tools for running Docker compatible OCI containers called CRI-O https://cri-o.io/ with RHEL/Centos 7.7
