    More like, "Why is Intuit so awful?" My personal story on this: I was a Mint early-adopter, and some time before Intuit purchased Mint I was also a TurboTax online user. I liked us…

    Frankly I'm shocked at how anemic the radar chip demonstration and marketing materials are compared to what they demoed about the chip a few years ago. Google had video showing how…

    Yup, agree 100%. We bought a 2014 Mazda 6, and while it has a touch screen, I find myself only using the control knob 99% of the time. It's vastly superior to any touchscreen inter…

    I don't disagree with your comments about tradespeople's hours, but I'm not sure I agree with the reasons. A lot of those long hours are due to taking on more work/jobs to make mor…

    That's a good point. I suppose as long as I'm careful with updates, I should be able to leave it alone until there's a long-lost security bug found.

    Nice write-up. I have a very similar setup, only I didn't delve into the netflow montioring/traffic shaping because it seemed a bit overkill for my needs. Have you given any though…

    I've been running Arch as my main home server for going on 11 years now. I love it. In that time span, the biggest hurdles have been the sysvinit/systemd transition and a handful o…

    High likelihood it was this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Router The Arch Wiki is pretty awesome, generally, and I used this pretty heavily as a reference. I will say, this…

    Welp. I recently completed an Arch-linux and PCEngines-based DIY router build and stumbled upon Shorewall as an alternative to straight-up IP tables... I'm not looking forward to c…

    Those aren't necessarily mandatory, but it certainly seems a lot of the safety tech is not available unless you also get things like that. For reference, my wife and I bought a 201…

    With the exception of safety features (think blind spot monitoring, backup cameras, lane keep assist, parking sensors) and mobile connectivity features like bluetooth, frankly I'm …

    The title here, the title in the actual article, and the content of the article aren't telling the same story. Here: "Toyotas and Chevys Are Holding Up Better Than Most Luxury Bran…

    Good to know it's not just me. I've reluctantly been pulled into using the feed (as you say it has some nice features, and it's right there on my phone when I swipe right, so hard …

    Awesome project! I browsed through your headlessPi repo and saw how you configure hostapd and whatnot, but I'm having trouble seeing where you actually get the uap0 interface creat…

    That's as fantastic looking application! If I can find some time, maybe I'll consider helping out.

    Thanks! Hope it works out for you. If so, I'll update the article to indicate it applies to RPi 3 as well (I don't have one to test with myself.)

    Are you referring to the issues I had getting it working prior to my workaround script? I would love to know as well. I mentioned it somewhere, but during boot, there are a few cry…

    Unfortunately, the antenna on the RPi is not great, due to it being a PCB-etched pattern antenna. For client, the range seems really good, thought not nearly as good as something l…

    So I've tested it at home, where I have 2 different APs on 2 different channels (11 and 6, if that's of any consequence). I purposely rebooted the APs the RPi was using for interne…
