Home Assistant is getting far easier to set up than you might expect, especially because they now do in fact have out of the box devices. It's not quite as ridiculously simple, not quite yet, but they're rapidly improving and it

It's helpful to not have to reconfigure everything after the battery inevitably runs out. Especially with more modern UEFI systems, there can be quite a lot of options which you might not remember the correct setting of.

Yeah, isn't it pretty standard to first report privately, then report publicly if they don't take any action (and you believe it to still be an issue)? That seems consistent with mosr organization's responsible disclosure pra

Honestly I just don't write shell scripts anymore, bash or otherwise. By the time any system I use is up, Python is available. I don't know if I've found a true need for shell in anything application level. I'll even fir

I won't try to summarize here, but long story short, the conditions which led to the Fukushima disaster were well known and TEPCO was warned as early as 2000, but they did nothing to prevent it. There a number of good sources on the Wi

I'm going to take a guess and say it's because of ruby lasers. They make massive synthetic ruby rods for lasers, but it needs to be one solid piece with very low impurities. A small defect will cause the rod to be entirely unusa

With Bitbucket, as well as Gitlab and likely others that I haven't used, the CI pipelines are stored as a plaintext configuration in the repo itself. So, repo commit access automatically gives you the ability to modify the pipeline.

Are you sure that's actually 2.5kW of optical power? Non-scientific lights aren't usually rated by optical power, but by electrical power.

Some of the example data here is surprisingly similar to the Oracle default tables. The EMP table in particular seems to just be an extended version of the original.

Not all documents from the time period would've had such low quality though, and not everyone would want such quality in a modern document. If you want such an effect, it's always possible to add it later, but it's rather mor

I'll admit I'm no typeface expert, but this seems to miss the point. Wikipedia's own page on Roman type [0] says "Roman type was modelled from a European scribal manuscript style of the 15th century, based on the pairing

I'm curious what you mean by not looking "period". The HPLHS fonts frankly seem to just be poor quality , rather than old . If you look at the images of the original type, Doves appears to be quite faithful to the original.

It's not "extremely rare" in the intended market. It'll still take you over 2 hours to fill this, if you manage to saturate both links (which you can't realistically do).
