I work in building science. It’s obscene how little actual design and quality control goes into residential homes.
The typical design is just one step above being illegal, and people are often scared off of doing anything more than that by the threat of increased cost. However, they don’t realize that they pay for it either way; either on their mortgage, or on utilities. Only one of those you can actually own in the end.
I was going to also post the direct AMA link, but the OP is a nice concise summary of many of the key discussions, provided without having to go to that site. I’d recommend reading that instead and follow links as you see fit.
Sorry, four of the power to ethernet plugs. You put one near your router to essentially supply internet to your house’s electrical circuits, then distribute the others where you need them, such as office, living room if you want to connect a TV or console, etc.
I had a set of four for getting ethernet around the few places I rented. There was maybe the odd quality decrease when there was a lot of electrical load, but they worked great otherwise.
“Our Computer”
Oh man, I remember a Philips mp3 player I had for the longest time as a kid. You could hear the little clicks of the hard drive. Lost it on a hike, unfortunately.
I was driving in this area on Thursday. Definitely wouldn’t recommend anything other than a truck or Subaru. Had a full inch of mud in the wheels when I got home.
And of course, as soon as you cross the MB border, nice, reasonably well maintained pavement.
Jeremy Harrison is little more than a middleschool bully, and his antics continually demonstrate that, despite him being a 46 year old man. One of my favourite is when Donna Harpauer, Finance Minister, blamed high gas prices on the Saskatchewan NDP in 2023 (yeah, try to figure that one out), and ol Jer was sitting right behind her cheering so fervently he might as well had been in a skirt waving pom poms around.
I think it’d be a stretch to call some of those provincial ‘health insurance’ programs functional in several aspects.
And also that many contracts to improve on IT are performed by the lowest bidder.
The $34.95/hr average is stated as the average for permanent positions. I doubt many of the service industry jobs are permanent positions.
Even just rent one for a day. They’re so simple and just work.
The underlying plot of this article is rather obnoxious. This Smith guy’s 2016 Hyundai hybrid broke and the dealer gave him a $15k quote to fix it, which was then resolved by Hyundai corporate. The headline statement is one small paragraph, and irrelevant to this random story.
To discuss the headline, though, I think it all stems from misinformation more than anything. I have an EV in the charging desert of north east Saskatchewan. It’s a fantastic car and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one again. Yes, you do have to plan ahead a bit if you’re going longer distances, but the slight inconvenience is well worth the savings in fuel. Winter range can be reduced by around 50% at -30, but again, you plan around that. ICE vehicles don’t perform well at those temperatures either.
Even then, the trips the vast majority of people make are well within typical EV ranges and there are often several charging option wherever the vehicle is parked.
I recently went this route after dabbling with other options. I had a wireguard VPN through my Unifi router, with rules to limit access to only the resources I wanted to share, but it can be a struggle for non savvy users, and even more so if they want to use Jellyfin on their TV. Tried Twingate too and would recommend if it fits your usecase, but Cloudflare Tunnels were more applicable to me.
And those professionals often aren’t getting the majority of their income from capital gains.
This is mostly my reasoning too. I’ve got a bit more juice than a NUC, but I prefer the way resources are managed with an LXC for the certain apps that I run. I still have VMs for other things, like HAOS and a BlueIris NVR. It’s only a local homelab with no external users so avoiding additional complexity is often in my best interest.
Why would one prefer a VM over an LXC for Docker?
I might have found the issue, see updates above. I have a separate Docker LXC that was behaving normally too, so was good to cross-check with that.
It starts early in the design process. But at that stage, it would be best to pause installation, have a mechanical engineer do the mechanical design (including equipment selection) based on an energy model and install the recommended equipment.
