Use Tailscale, for the most part it’s pretty transparent. As long as all the magic DNS stuff is setup correctly, I can access all my internal services by name and it just works.

They use to say television rots the brain, but now it’s clear that television just rots.

See, if anything, I think it demonstrates that most people are annoying… Even after just a few seconds.

This is a perfectly executed shower thought. No notes.

That may be, but I doubt many Cybertruck owners would want to make it less clear they own a Cybertruck.

Pepper it with absolutely wrong or illogical information. I mean, you know, more than the usual amount.

A fellow greendale alum. Streets ahead!

Abort, Retry, or Fail. But all at the same time.

They’re similar. Generally welding is focused on fusing metals of similar makeup (I.e. steel to steel). While It does frequently (but not always) use “filler” but a good weld relies in the actual fusion of the separate metal pieces, basically melting the pieces together. The filler also tends to be similar in composition to the fused metals.

Soldering uses a dissimilar metal to join pieces and it doesn’t fuse the pieces together.

There’s also brazing, which is somewhere in between those two.

But, yea, honestly I generalize it all into a hot glue gun for metal :-P

Makes sense. It sure as shit didn’t have any real intelligence.

Olympic athletes are on strict diets. They no longer have such dietary requirements once they’ve won.

Lucky living?

Seems presumptuous they use an 8 bit byte in middle earth. I’d expect more like 20 bits, but divided between men, elves, and dwarfs. Well, except one of those bits is the one true bit, having spooky control over the other bits. Clearly middle earth computation is quantum.

I use portainer behind tail scale. Easy management anywhere and no publicly available access.

I use Bitwig on Linux myself, but works in Windows and Mac too.

Yea, we’ve got it so easy today. These kids have no idea :-P

But seriously, I’m sorry that sucks. I happened to be lucky enough with an uncle-in-law’s dad being an EE and just literally gave me a bunch of 6502 development stuff (by that time it was reasonably dated and he had retired). I also got lucky to live in a place where the libraries has tech and programming books that were pretty decent. Had those two things not been there, it would have been a very different story.

I try to pay that forward any way I can by taking part in the local tech/invention/science fair thing. Hopefully to be there to show youngsters how wonderful and interesting tech can be.

Same here! Still have my copy of 6502 software design that I used until it fell apart.

The east / west division in the cost of light bulbs.

Personally, I think this is a meaningless question. For me it’s all about utility. I’ve found science to provide utility to me in helping understand and, more importantly, predict the world. I’ve not found the same in religion. I choose paths that provide utility.

There’s a belt tensioner tool that can be rented from the auto parts store. This helps greatly to pull back the belt pulley to get a belt on. Had to do it once and having that tool made a big difference.
