Maintain the underground power lines?

You’re forgetting the amount of energy required to extract, transport, and refine the oil. Refining the oil is especially energy intense. It’s not even up for debate at this point unless you’re a naive boomer taking in the Faux News.

A shithead? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I enjoy Matrix.

Matrix.

Thanks for sharing. I’ll be keeping an eye on this project. Looks promising!

Frigate is wonderful, and getting better all the time. I also run Scrypted, which is another fantastic tool! The scrubbing on Scrypted NVR is a lot less painful, but a lot more expensive. I enjoy supporting small open source projects, though.

I tried and failed. I couldn’t figure out a pleasant way to be able to copy and paste code. The only thing I could come up was to use a different editor for those instances.

Now I’m stuck between Joplin for work and Obsidian for personal, until I finally make up my mind. I like that I can create a second account for Joplin and share just the work related notes while I’m using company infrastructure.

Millions of people want to plant Elon Musk six feet under.

But then you has Google on your home network. -_-

The old cable companies are clinging to their coax! Let DOCSIS die!

This wouldn’t be for a single customer. It’s 50 gig PON, which would serve 32-64 different customers. I’m not an engineer, but I’m assuming it will pave the way for 2.5-5 Gbps services.

Most companies are currently switching from GPON (2.5 gig shared 32 ways), to XGSPON (10 Gbps split between 32-64 customers).

The company I work for has been deploying XGSPON on Nokia transport for a few years now. It’s very nice.

Edit: I wasn’t real specific on how it’s split. So that 50 Gbps feed is sent down a single fiber to a splitter, which is often in the field in an AP cabinet. From there fiber that actually goes to the customer’s premise gets connected. It feels a little dirty splitting like some sort of old coax system, but it makes rolling out fiber to the home much, much quicker.

If they could both just beat each other to death, that’d be great.

I can’t wait till those regulations get enforced.

That’s great! I also use smart plugs for grow lamps! So convenient. The home country of the creator of Linux. Lucky! :)

We have the litter robot. It was pretty expensive, and can be a little quirky at times, but for the most part it’s been a real time saver.

The biggest problem is that it can get stuck while doing it’s rotation, which then requires you to intervene. It really doesn’t happen often, though. It’s had errors similar to that around 5 times or so in the past couple years. Not too bad.

We change out the turd bag around once per week. 2 cats have access 24/7, and another cat has access 12-15 hours per day.

Tech to make day to day chores easier have had the largest impact for us. The automated self cleaning liter box for the cats, the cordless vacuum, the cordless electric mop (such as Tineco), electric lawn mowers (no maintenance), smart outlets and automations via home assistant.

Another big one is the RO water filter at the kitchen sink. No more bottled water. Bonus points if you get one that tells you when fillters need to be changed. So nice.

You don’t want to hear about how many American football fields are in a mile?

Nope! I had thought about trying out their 4k box, but nope.

I would absolutely run FreeBSD on my laptop if the WiFi wasn’t awful. It doesn’t matter which chipset, max is like 20 Mbps. Rouuugh.

On the server side of things, Docker/Podman is so convenient, and keeps me from blowing so much time on “maintenance.”

Hopefully, some day, I can daily a BSD. Until then- NixOS!
