    A half rack weighs probably 1000 pounds. Good luck getting that into someone's basement.

    A Bitcoin mining node is the simplest possible way to turn compute into money. Very minimal storage and bandwidth requirements. And yet we still do not see those in houses. Everyth…

    A half rack in a rack of last decade is 8kw. A half rack of today's state of the art is 100kw. A house older than 30 years typically has 100A 120V split phase power which can suppl…

    There is a reason the Wordpress 100-year plan costs $38,000.

    When I was a boy I had to call the library to get the definition of a word that was not in my family's dictionary. 39 years old now.

    And use a wildcard cert so that all your services don't get proved due to cert transparency logs.

    My initial read of proximity being sufficient to exploit 3 is incorrect, so yeah as long as you control the Wi-Fi network sufficiently then things should be fine.

    This is so bad that it must be intentional, right? Even though these are dirt cheap, they couldn't come up with $100,000 to check for run-of-the-mill vulnerabilities? There must be…

    Scott Locklin is one of my favorite reads, in occasional doses though. Kind of unhinged-seeming but always some perspective that seems fresh. He's like Casey Handmer turned up to 1…

    I find these numbers to be way outside of what I have heard of. I would be surprised if you could give an example that comes with even 1.5x capacity. (4TB capacity, 6TB actual flas…

    Search Amazon for "pfsense mini pc". (smile as you think about how this triggers that one pfsense guy!) Intel N100 or N150 processor, passive cooling, typically 5 1000GBASE-T or be…

    The UI for the fs.com programmer is merely "not bad". This could easily be great in comparison.

    Fun fact: each one also consumes approximately $4 in electricity per year. Assuming 2.5W typical consumption, $0.18/kWh rate. More like $8/year if you are in a high rate area!
