  • The thing that fascinates me is that every single digital microwave I've ever used behaves the same way, and allows the "seconds-place" to be 0-99.

    My best guesses are

    • There's some ASIC that's been around forever and everyone uses it (a cockroach chip like the 555)
    • The first digital microwave did this and all subsequent ones followed
    • There's actually some implementation reasons why this is way more sensible.

    Writing it in software, there are different ways that folks would probably implement it, for example, "subtract one, calculate minutes and seconds, display" seems reasonable. But nope, every one I've ever used is just the Wild West in the seconds department.

  • Not a historian, but folks on The Internet have characterized the Soviet program as a series of milestones, with the US program a series of stepping stones in support of a single goal.

    This makes sense with the cartoon, where the Soviets were first in basically everything except walking on the moon.

    Not sure how much merit it has, but it's kinda interesting.

  • I bought a Rockchip SBC (Orange Pi 5+), and when it worked it was awesome...but man, the software support (mainly kernel space) is just not there. Exercise in frustration to get everything working at the same time.

    Currently running armbian. I don't think HW acceleration is working, and I don't think HDMI out is even working, but for my use case it's a stable config...for now.

  • What's a standalone movie that deserves a good sequel?

    Jump

  • Except it would probably end up being a sequel and prequel at the same time...

  • Looks great! I'm a huge fan of (almost) never using a cutting board---that's what the counter is for!

  • Parent didn't say develop, they said use. 80 acres of forest can be used as open space and not developed at all.

    I think the spirit of parent comment was that if you have 80 acres of forest, but you live somewhere else and never set foot in it...well, maybe that land could be better used/enjoyed.

    If you live on/near it, and enjoy it for some purpose other than strictly as an investment, that seems like you're utilizing it.

  • Google Deploying Huge CO2 Battery Facilities with Company Energy Dome

  • 200MWh is about 1/100 of Little Boy, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

    Compressed air can get out all at once given the right circumstances.

    Storing energy in a way that can go boom is something I'd be a little scared of, were I a nearby resident. I'm sure thermal batteries can have gnarly failure mechanisms but I would way rather live near one of those than a giant compressed air cylinder.

  • Right now the only thing I genuinely feel is missing that would increase my happiness, is an exercise routine.

    I'll put in a plug for cycling. You can nerd out over the latest bike gear, restore vintage bikes, or just pay the nice folks at your local bike shop to set you up and focus on the riding, it's up to you!

    You can also ride "unplugged," or you can measure speed, cadence, heart rate, even power output (if you spend $$$)---again, something for everyone!

    Good luck!

  • Using Proton VPN with YouTube now gives me this.

    Jump

  • Yeah, one of the issues I was having with running VPN on router is that you need a somewhat beefy router if you want to use your full bandwidth---my router maxes out at about 90Mbps with WireGuard, even though it can NAT around 1Gbps (which is our service).

    I implemented two workarounds, one was to use my access point as a VPN router since it had a beefier CPU, and the other was to just use an ARM SBC with Linux to handle that task. (I ended up with the latter, as the former ended up maxing out at around 400Mbps, and introduced some additional headaches.)

  • I also have an SSID that doesn't get VPN'd, though my DNS is always VPN'd.

    As for accessing JellyFin, etc., I think we have somewhat different setups. My self hosted services are by default accessible without a VPN (SSID is on a VLAN with e.g. 192.168.0.0/24, servers are on 192.168.1.0/24, router routes between them). For the blanket VPN'd SSID I have a routing rule that routes over the main, not VPN, table, so local services can be accessed.

    So: local traffic has a rule to route without VPN, reddit routes with a specific VPN, and general traffic routes with a different VPN.

    There are lots of VLANs involved in my setup, and I'm sure it's overly complicated and has gaping security issues, but it's just a home network and it's kinda fun :(

  • I have this set up on my router. My wifi is blanket tunneled through a VPN. For annoying sites that restrict access like reddit, my router routes through a specific VPN server that doesn't (yet) get blocked (I don't post/comment/browse, but occasionally find a post that answers a question). That way it works on my whole home network, regardless of device.

    Same could be done for YouTube presumably, but maybe a little more complicated (reddit seems to work with a single /32 address).

    Plus, it's fun to set up---MikroTik router, Mullvad, and an ARM SBC doing the VPN duties for me, but myriad ways to get it working for other configurations.

  • But once you got that XFree86 config dialed in, life was awesome.

    (Ok looks like Xorg has been around for 21 years, so maybe you were running it instead.)

  • You can pry pattern matching from my cold dead hands

    Jump

  • Per the Linux kernel coding style:

    Tabs are 8 characters, and thus indentations are also 8 characters. There are heretic movements that try to make indentations 4 (or even 2!) characters deep, and that is akin to trying to define the value of PI to be 3.
