  • Good news! Tariffs just made new stuff significantly more expensive so the resale value will be higher now. /s

  • I was curious so I went to look up the average egg price and see the reported price by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows it is an average of $3.13/dozen as of March 26th, magically down from $8.17/dozen on March 1st. However, the lowest reported price in any state is $6.79 in Virginia. So something is quite fishy.

    Edit: This article seems to shed a little more light on things. The wholesale price has dropped but retail prices will lag. Sounds like a drop in egg demand due to high prices and farms getting caught up on egg laying hens and causing the wholesale market to settle down.

  • Depends what you want to do. They don't require a network connection to operate as a vehicle. So if you don't care about the remote app features (local ones such as lock/unlock still work over BLE), live traffic, streaming music or updates, then a network connection isn't necessary.

    If you do want any of those features, then you would need to either get root access to the gateway and infotainment systems to modify the endpoints or take over the C&C server (formerly named "mothership") domains and certificates.

  • Will certainly be a bummer if they do go under, I really appreciated their serviceability. Have several in the immediate family that have been going for over 7 years at this point though all kinds of calamities. Each time can I just pop out all the components clean/replace as necessary and get it back in service, good as new.

  • I set the VPN tunnel from the VPS to deny everything to the internal network by default, then put the services that need to be accessed on the allow list in the firewall. So the VPN endpoint from the VPS can only hit the very specific IPs/ports/protocols that were explicitly allowed. There is still the possibility of a compromise chain of VPS->service->container/VM->hypervisor->internal network access, but I feel comfortable with those layers.

    You could also setup an IDS such as Snort to pick up on that exploit traffic between the services and internal VPN endpoint if extra security is necessary on top of fail2ban and log alerts on the VPS.

  • That is a fun rabbit hole. This was Nixon's presidency and right before the whole Watergate scandal broke, so probably lots of shady shit happening around then that help put us on this wonderful trajectory.

  • Trace Route. The *NIX equivalent command is traceroute, Windows shortened it to tracert.

  • If this means high-speed rail from Vancouver to LA, sign us up!

  • Sadly, a few protests now is nothing in comparison if Harris would have won. The Republican party already had preemptive lawsuits to challenge the election results before election day and the results would have been contended for months. There was a high likelihood of a repeat of Jan. 6th 2021 on Jan. 6th 2025 from right wing milita groups.

  • They've been staples around the PDX airport for the last year or so. There is also Caesar the "no drama llama" who has been around the general Portland area for a number of years.

    Always fun to run across.

  • Forget about Jan. 6th 2021 already? I don't recall any legal authority there and yet it still happened.

    Also, we've had bounty programs in the past for populations of people.

  • Sure did.

  • Yeah, the EV market is fine, just Tesla sales which have dropped some, lowering numbers for the total EV market. Sales continue to be strong for other EV manufacturers, just one brand slowing down for some strange reason..... Almost like someone has started to alienate their core customer base....

  • Knowing Elon's past history with wording, he is probably actually donating $45,999,999.99 or $45,000,000.01 just to say the media reports are not true. He never denied donating money, just disputed that exact figure.

  • Any chance you are using a Thunderbolt device such as a network adapter or external drives? I had the issue on a NUC 10 where it would randomly drop the TB devices every few weeks and occasionally appear to be frozen. The latest firmware update finally took care of it.

  • This is handled by the inverter and charging modules, some use FPGA chips others use dedicated ASICs, but it doesn't require anything wild in terms of raw compute power, mostly up to having good algorithms to handle the situations correctly. Nothing more than a modern ICE engine which needs to very precisely manage intake and exhaust cam phasing, ignition timing, intake pressure, and multiple injections per cylinder/cycle along with monitoring a multitude of sensors to keep everything in tolerance. In terms of simplicity, the first automobiles at the turn of the century were electric before the ICE caught on thanks to the advent of the electric starter and limitations in battery technology at the time.
