  • I went a little crazy and setup my own wireguard VPN network, all the remote hosts connect to the VPN and the primary server connects to each of them and pushes backups. Because I use btrfs and lots of snapshots I use btrbk, annoying to setup but now my hourly snapshots get pushed everywhere, minimal bandwidth and it flawlessly has worked for years.

  • I do this except the offline copies are raspberry pis, they grab an update then turn their network card off and go black for about a month. Randomly they turn on the network card, pull a fresh copy and go black again. Safe from randomware and automatic.

  • Are those old ISA sound blasters worth much? I think I have a few in the basement...

  • I have a trailer (workshop) with solar power, batteries, a raspberry pi controlling everything and a cellular hot spot. It pumps all the solar, battery information and light controls over MQTT and home assistant over cellular. So yes its possible, what do you want to do?

  • I overclocked my socket A athlon to the moon and loved every minute of its partial instability. Still have that CPU in the attic.

  • I'm not a doctor and a dude, just speaking from personal experiences and shared stories, but are you on birth control? Birth control pills made my wife emotionally unstable when she was PMSing and finally she had enough and stopped taking them. It was a night and day difference and she hasn't taken them since. Just food for thought.

  • This is an outrageous recommendation but it is a pretty complete filter to find the educated, 55+ crowd!

  • Power is a measurement of the velocity and volume of water flowing through a pipe at a given instant*

    I'm so sorry, I am officially 'that guy', taking a simple analogy and making it annoying...

  • My 16 year old Samsung TV would like to argue otherwise! It's a beast and 1080p is plenty good for me! But my Samsung kitchen? Holy crap it's all so terrible...

  • This comment hits hard. There are a lot of ignorant people in my life that spout idiotic stuff and I brush it off, I disengage. I could take the time to listen, converse and correct but I don't. I disengage, I brush it off as just "Oh boy, there goes crazy Joe rambling again! But generally he's a good guy so I'll tolerate it". I need to start taking the time to push back and correct people I care about so they understand people are judging them when stupid things are said. Thank you!

  • Weird timing. I'm moving next week into a new home and the previous owner left this monitor with the computer in the attic. It was going to be a winter project to get it all operating, and I'm an electrical engineer with plenty of equipment. Thanks for the video, now I have a north star!

  • Dude looks in his 60s but likely those are his kids and he had a rough first 40 years...

  • Shit I thought I was so damn novel. Blast you.

  • I've owned and deployed a lot of pi, every model, and in my experience when I have similar instability as you described its related to the sdcard. Either the sdcard itself or the tray soldered to the pi. I had one pi that would corrupt the sdcard without fail after 2 months and I played with bending the sdcard metal tray inward a little to help press the card better into the contacts and the problem went away. Try fiddling with the sdcard holder or different sdcards.

  • Yea I'm putting a value on my distain but you seem to be misunderstanding the math. If they sell the truck for $80k it likely costs them $60k++ to make. If I buy it for $40k I'm taking $20k away from their coffers. This is all totally made up numbers, I dont work there and know their bottom line. But at the end of the day, at some point SOMEONE is going to give them some amount for the truck. I would sleep fine knowing I took money from the company rather than added to it.

  • It's a fair point but you realize that's not rational right? The truck, though stupid, has some monetary value. If the price gets low enough people who loathe Musk will still buy it. I'm in that camp. I realize that's not a popular stance in the pitchfork crowd but I'm a practical hater.

  • I'd buy one for $40k if it was brand new and I knew I robbed Tesla substantially below their margin mark. If I was taking money from Tesla count me in.

  • You won't miss him. You'll miss the idea of who he was

    This hits hard with some personal relationships I lost during COVID because they were anti vaccination. Couldn't be bothered to care how their decisions affect others, that was 'their problem'.
