I may not know AI very well but I know that automatic sinks, soap dispensers, and toilets don't work for me because they weren't tested against people with my skin tone. And these …

Got stuck in a clothes a chute growing up, can confirm that those things are evil.

When I was younger lightning struck our apartment building and it killed my consumer router. I replaced it and put it on the surge protector. A few months later we got struck again…

>Yes, I agree, but he's bringing that from prior experience, not our company... That's exactly what I'm saying! I don't think he's guarded because of you guys but I do think he's g…

It was, and I did! EDIT: the first job was a hellhole. The second job I delegated something I probably shouldn't have- that was my mistake 100%. The second job was very well led fo…

That does make sense but try to look at it this way: if YOU got burned for asking for help before would YOU individually forget that experience and ask for help again? It's really …

I want to cherry pick this: >"...Throw in access to a smartphone where you’re bombarded with images and videos of the best version of everyone you know’s lives and you start feelin…

I haven't done enough PKI to call myself "good" at it but I've done enough to shudder any time I hear "hardcoded key"

>"Attitude is no substitute for competence" Things I wish I could tell younger me

I don't want an office. I don't even want to go outside. More pay would absolutely bring me into the office though- especially if it means I can afford the wear and tear on my car …

It jumbles my jimmies hearing about outright rejection of modern tech by industries that would best benefit from said tech. I'd almost be willing to bet money that your landlord wo…

So I actually "repurposed" a riser cable from an old ITX build to slap it into my primary proxmox server to play around with home-rolled VDI. Surprisingly, it worked. If you're fee…

Infiniband? Don't tease me with a good time JK, wife would kill me

IDK, back in my edgy years I was suicidal due to "loneliness"- even though I had friends and family. I even (kinda) had a partner. I had no money, because you can't pay almost $100…

Not an expert on this but I've both seen it and done it: fear of punishment for asking for help/admitting weakness was why I did it. I've had a boss that used our team as his scape…

Holy smokes, living the dream! Kudos!

This stings because I lost a few close friends to suicide and gun violence last year. It's really sad that we can't/won't do anything to stymie the trend

When I say "do CI/CD first" I do mean "make a commit and watch it go brrrr". You could build a pipeline yourself if DevOps engineering sounds fun but my experience with it professi…

Sync that data to cloud-backed storage and you would literally need nothing more than an Internet connection! Granted, that means you NEED an Internet connection... But it's as clo…

It's interesting that you mention PoE nature cams- I designed a PoE home surveillance system for a friend that involved setting up a solar panel on a 30' pole that fed a box with a…

Servethehome forums and smallnetbuilders are also good resources, if you're not a fan of Reddit for some reason!

Very well said- good catch! That's a very compelling reason!

Amen on that. The past few rigs I built for myself were all ITX machines. I went through and undervolted my CPU, RAM, and GPU. Once my current gaming rig dies I'm just going to sti…

I apologize if it seemed like I was irate- I'm not and your question is 100% the question we all ask ourselves before doing things like this (or for some of us, it's the first ques…

That is very true, but haven't we already had cases of TVs spying on people without direct Wi-Fi access already? Also, most consumer routers are HOT SHIT and don't do much of what …
