Other elephant in the room is how healthy is the dad? A super motivated, athletic and engaged older dad is still better than an uninterested, over weight, young dad.

I used it many years ago, perhaps 10, and started using it again because it allows me to rename PWAs. I have four instances of Frigate running for various locations and now i can edit their name based on location.

My 36" TV is fine, you monster.

I noticed the last modified date on some of my mp3s recently and realized almost all of them are old enough to drink and some are nearly 30 years old :(

Check the power supply too. Those mini PCs just use a cheap laptop power brick and sometimes they can’t sustain their full output anymore. I had one server constantly crash and once I swapped the power brick I never had a problem again.

Because those boomers who are broke were attempting to keep up with those who actually had money. I know a few examples…

Cool and dark, he would just toss them in baskets in a dark space that didn’t even stay that cool. He might have picked them before they were ripe but I dont remember.

Lemons if stored correctly will last 10 months. My grand father would just toss them in a dark storage room in Greece and they lasted until the next harvest.

+10 I think. I have an off grid solar powered trailer with a raspberry pi that controls it and a cell hot spot so it communicates to home base. I’m a geek.

I work for an un-named company that makes stuff that has google assistant on them. Initially we put hardware mutes and piped the microphones to physical hardware that monitored for wake up words locally and would then start piping the microphone data to the mother ship once it was heard. Google told us to stop that, only way to certify the product as compatible with Google Assistant was to pipe the raw microphone data to the mother ship 24/7. That was 5 years ago and I removed all devices from my house.

I think it just means youre well off and dont have to stress about money. I’m not sure there is a timescale element, I’m confident there are plenty if middle aged folk working paycheck to paycheck stressing about their income.

Oh Christ I have 1000 gallons of rain water storage and I’m stealing that joke…

Their upgrade scripts for on the rails installs have gotten a lot better recently, especially in the last year. But then last upgrade they fucked it all up and made a series of database commands mandatory for the warnings to go away. Uggghhhh.

Likely. The coils only job is to ignite the lamp by whacking it with high voltage to strip some barium elections off the coil to induce plasma and therefore electrical flow. The plasma then excites the phosphorus to make light. After that the coils could just be stubs of wire so long as current keeps flowing through the excited plasma. If you did it inductively it would achieve the same means but I don’t think the plasma would be as dense so the lamp not as bright. My theory anyways.

Wild to see this posted. I worked for the guy that invented this at Sylvania, I have a bunch of photos of the early prototypes. They never figured out how to commercialize it and in the process of trying to manufacturer it in China the manufacturer stole the IP and started making them under their own brand and stole the market. They were called Icetron lamps. I worked in their R&D facilities and domestic manufacturing sites in the early 2000s.

I love this community, I used to rant about efficiency all the the time on reddits self hosting community and everyone thought I was insane. If the damn thing is going to run 24/7 for 5+ years then put a little thought into its power usage!

I personally love old Dell optiplex micros on eBay. Cheap, plentiful laptop hardware in a cute little box which allows modest upgrades. My primary server in a full sized case is just a laptop CPU, Ryzen 5600g. It brings me joy that my network has four servers and still is under 75w idle for everything including networking gear.

Should do, yep, but obviously not well if dudes getting PR for doing it privately.

I was thinking more along the lines of “oh hey you’re building a water park, cool! By law it must be handicap accessible so please make a section easily accessible and here is a $1mil grant to make that possible, show us your plans before we issue the permit”. This feels fairy reasonable.

Its uplifiting but shouldn’t we value these things as a society and fund it accordingly? I hear we are a rich nation. Instead we depend on the charity of some rich guy who wanted to take care of his own daughter.

+the fact the pi is so darn cheap, has the IO and can emulate the game on the system not at all designed specifically for the task while also running a whole Linux stack and being online. Things have advanced tremendously.
