Gasoline generators are significantly cheaper. There are some tri-fuel generators that can run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas, but again they're more expensive. A natural gas powered permanent standby generator is amazing for pea

You are grossly underestimating the force of sustained 250kmh winds (cat 4 hurricane), let alone the 400kph winds present in an F4 tornado. Even if your 900 year old building's walls could withstand that it would likely have no roof an

That's not really true, afaict. This press release[1] states that Fab 21 (Arizona) phase 1 is 4nm, which is not the best but clearly is enough to manufacture the A16, phase 2 opening in 2026 will be 3nm, and phase 3 will be 2nm or bett

I was expecting like "terrible old server that I refer to as toilet because it's terrible" but this is so much better. Bravo.

Sounds more like Xen if Xen could boot containers instead of VMs.

I use it as a caching proxy on my homeprod nodes. I want docker containers to be able to query Tailscale's MagicDNS without using host-mode networking everywhere. My config is really simple, just forward .ts.net to 100.100.100.100 and

First release of Basel was in 2015 when Stripe was already 5 years old and the progenitor of this tooling was already running with several dozen users.

You're making a pretty bold assumption that the US will ratify this. The US does not make a habit of ratifying UN conventions.

That's a pretty cool little board. It looks like they have versions with 10/100 Ethernet for not a lot more as well.

Well, sure :) It's a function present in the PIO code that isn't called by the current firmware setup.

Not sure which part you're referring to, but I agree. The u2if firmware I'm using has an interface type that generates the addressable LED bitstream with the RP2040's PIOs. The host software dumps the pixel color values over

Yep, that one is pretty cool too. It only does one i2c bus so it seems like it underuses the hardware a bit, but the mainline driver is pretty valuable.

Not really. I've been researching this extensively lately to try to add GPIO to my stack of Dell Wyse 3040s. Options with mainline linux kernel drivers: - MCP2221A (i2c + 4x GPIO) - CP2112 (i2c + GPIO) Options without kernel support: -

Alternatively, you put in load shed devices. They're basically fancy self-resetting circuit breakers that trip when the generator begins to be under too much load. They all trip at the same time and then come back up in a pre-determine

I have had an abdomen MRI. I definitely felt sensations when the machine was doing particular sets of scans. Also, I accidentally left my wedding ring on (I informed them, they were not interested in the slightest). My right felt hot during

Tailscale is a mesh overlay network that uses Wireguard under the hood. Traffic moves peer to peer as much as possible. DNS happens locally (the special 100.100.100.100 address actually points at the tailscale daemon running on each machine

You can't make an 83b election for RSUs. RSAs yes. Option grants for sure. RSU taxation is very straightforward compared to those. They count as W-2 income when they fully vest and turn into shares. There isn't anything to elect a

This is exactly what I did last summer. 10Gb fiber backbone between big switches, copper fans out from those to devices. I don't really need that much bandwidth but it's nice to have transfer faster than spinning rust write speed

Having worked in a handful of fintechs that use Ruby extensively, this generally isn't a problem in practice. In my experience there's a Money type that gets passed around rather than raw numbers, and that Money type will enforce
