    It's no longer $120 a year. It went up to $15.99/month a few months ago (in the middle of my annual billing cycle). As a hobbyist photographer who sometimes does a lot with photogr…

    "only" a few hundred bucks for just frames? That seems ridiculous for what you are getting.

    I found a few of my posts from 1997, am glad none of them were too cringe.

    I went to bingo years ago and there was a glass partition between the smoking and non, but it didn't go to the ceiling. So you'd sit in the non and just watch a wave of cigarette s…

    I think that depends on what sites you are using/things you are doing with it. The only time the fans turn on for me is one specific dashboard in Home Assistant. Nothing else I con…

    I use mine so I own my own data. Almost nothing I use talks to the internet but I still have a smart house (that runs just fine when my internet is out). And while it took some tin…

    You must have some funky electricity at your place, I have two smart bulbs (a TP-Link wifi and a generic Zwave) that get daily use and have been running fine for 7 years now.

    Same, 5800X in my X470 AORUS mobo and it's been fantastic, no desire to upgrade (already had the 64gb ram, so the CPU swap was simple, I think I got $50 from my old 2700 cpu)

    There's loads of things at Microcenter you CAN hold in your hand though, plenty of keyboards, mice, game controllers out on display you can handle and see what you think. Their 3d …

    I have an N100 miniPC that I'm using as an OPNSense firewall, claims to be fanless but it killed an NVME drive. Now I just have a small usb-powered fan aimed at it and it runs fine…

    Agree completely. I got ownership of my domain before he started charging, but looking now there's only a summary and it lists 45 email addresses in breaches, which means I need to…

    The "Hub" device can be as simple as a USB stick that's attached to the machine running Home Assistant. That's what I have been running for years, a Z-Wave USB stick that passes th…

    Your house is wired with an alternative and you can't imagine people who DON'T have that infrastructure are looking for a way of doing smart automations? I have been using HA for y…

    I have one of the Brake Free lights and it uses an accelerometer, it's NOT just a basic tilt switch. Nor does it rattle when riding, it's a very solid unit. I've had friends follow…

    I've used exif-database for something similar but it doesn't build the folder, it just lets you query the sqlite database to find what you are looking for. https://github.com/perk1…

    I used to work for a small business called The Air Courier Association. They didn't do any of the actual travel arraignments, they were a membership "club" that gave you all the in…

    I use sendmail on a couple of servers. Started them in the late 90s with FreeBSD and it was easier to just keep moving the sendmail configs as I upgraded the servers. What I have w…

    It will do Security+ 2.0 with an add-on module (or that was the case several years ago when I got mine). The device has been fantastic, I got mine about 4 years ago and I just neve…
