I’ve landed on Ubiquiti NVR systems. I previously used Frigate and VLANd reolinks. Having a phone app to instantly view the cameras quickly (late at night) made the difference.

I’m love content like this. It reminds me of the mid-2000s era of the internet. Is this “best” project I’ve seen? In terms of tech,quality,etc No. Neither are mine. This guy built …

Without a doubt it is GPS/GNSS systems. If you look at the dependency chain to accomplish the task, it’s a true yardstick for any modern civilization,economy,nation.

Call me simple. I manually export CSV files from the finance companies. (Should automate this). Vibe coded a CSV parser that will auto categorize, sort all expenses/income. Expense…

I have similar feelings as the author. I aim to be as public as possible while maintaining personal privacy. I *want* to meet other like-minded people that enjoy the same topics I …

I might be in the minority. But I actually like working at an office (or preferably hybrid). At work, I work. At home, I do home things. When I work and home at the same place i fi…

I do wonder what’s preventing a Lidar device from cross talking with other lidar devices. I remember talking to somebody about this and they told me that each signal is uniquely en…

I’ve been saying this for years! JS gets alot of hate for dependency hell. Why? It’s almost too easy to add one compared to writing your own functions. Now compare that to adding a…

Good call! I’m purely in the idea phase, I will definitely take your advice as I get closer

I’ve been considering this for a while. I have a fence that is south facing, with no major obstructions. I want solar but I don’t want the liability of a roof install with leaks an…

I’m here to take advantage of it. I bought a 2022 Model Y performance. New price was 75k, used price 31k. Love the car. I plan on driving the wheels off it.

I’ve directly worked in this space. This article is pure tabloid-style reporting. It sounds like they are testing prototypes, and it’s not ready for mass fielding. Nothing new here…

I’ve come to similar conclusions in vehicle choices. Current daily is a fast EV. The next project car I build will be some flavor of an outlaw SWB 911 There is something about it b…

You are perfectly correct. I’m morphing love of modifying cars away from performance numbers but into a way to build mechanical art and enjoy emotional moments with other humans. I…

As a die hard car enthusiast. This makes perfect sense. We are going through a culture change in society. Many younger kids don’t view cars as the gateway to freedom and coming of …

A VC fund selling “self-hosted” AI compute rigs was never on my bingo card. I’m glad they did. It’s weird and different.

I'm in the minority here. I switched from list to hex. The hex allows for me to select X more apps versus scrolling down and looking for it. It was painful at first since I needed …

The US is somehow very ahead and very behind at the same time :)

Hmmmm. That’s is VERY odd. That links resolves fine in my phone . I’m US based. I wonder if they have some sort of geo blocking

According to the HVAC industry it is the correct term, based on my experience. I agree with your logic both modes of operation (heat/cool) are both pumping heat. Cripple is a fairl…

Yes. I might be missing something obvious. Are we talking about the my link drive website? If so, yes. I clicked the link from my website and it took me straight to the website wit…

Great question. The unit is pre charged for 25 feet of lineset . I was right at the limit for my install. I installed the lines, did all the vacuum related work. Then just cracked …

It was already answered, but conventional AC systems have resistive heating elements which have a a max efficiency of 100 percent. Heat pumps run an AC in reverse which can give a …

I just checked the link. I believe it is correct. The domain name looks sketchy, but it has all the nitty gritty engineering data. If I remember correctly, I think I found a link f…
