What I want is something that amounts to a stateful firewall/allow list on top of PiHole ... if a device is attempting to connect to an ip address which was not resolved by PiHole …

Similar story with Portmaster 2s and a wall of modems layed out. The resulting blinking lights acted like a load monitor of sorts as the activity would spread across the wall as cu…

The biggest missing piece in these definitions? The tires. Most cars these days come with a very highway biased tire. These tires will fail very quickly in most conditions found on…

No car with paint you care about should ever be washed in the sun. If you look around some detailer forums for basic car washing instructions staying in the shade and carefully dry…

And you know how much Coca is needed to make Cocaine? Might as well compare chewing a piece of sugar cane to drinking HFCS.

IPv6 only? If you have a DNS record for that your are still not making it very difficult for scripts to find you.

They cite that the data in the study was from 2011-2015. Cars have changed significantly in that time so it is worth remembering that the common stability and traction control, and…

`nc -Z x.x.x.x nnnn` works well enough for me.

Stories like this remind me that in distributed systems time becomes a very imprecise concept at small scales.

I’ve used the shaped orange foam 3M ear plugs extensively while riding a motorcycle. The wind noise is extremely bad for you given the duration and surprisingly high decibels. One …

This line of reasoning is what is used to justify lock-in and anti-right to repair legislation. Following this reasoning you shouldn’t be allowed to change a flat tire on your car …

Doing crime on a system with a perfect immutable record doesn’t seem like a smart play to me. As noted above the firms like chainalysis will continue to uncover and attribute all o…

You still have this requirement for your users that depend on screen readers… a segment of users which coincidentally are unlikely to appreciate the fancy icon.svg

How long until vision based ‘AI’ systems make these kinds of counter measures obsolete? It seems like it should be straight forward for a multi-modal sensor package to combine with…

Well the SEC certainly has one point of view. Unfortunately the CFTC has another view and they both can’t be right so which part of the federal governance applies here? https://www…

Gatorade is great… if you are exercising in heat, like perhaps football players in Florida. For everyone else their body probably doesn’t need all those sugars and salts in their h…

It’s a similar problem with metal grating typically used on outdoor staircases. There are practical benefits in places where it snows for these designs. Sometimes clothing is simpl…

Just remember then when all of your neighbors have power out as well that those small generators often “grow legs and disappear” … it is a very good idea to chain them up. Also _al…

I have 400aH worth of lithium batteries and 600 watts of solar (not laid out in an ideal configuration down the sides of the roof on my airstream). I have found I use 60-90watts AC…

I see pretty consistent 65 watts AC on my Victron inverter with some peak surges to about 90watts. Very doable with a small solar array.

Curious if they bothered to comply with the GVWR for the vehicle. An extra 730lbs is most of the typical payload capacity for a typical car. The model S has a GVWR of 5600lbs and w…

They are not without their drawbacks but you can get an excellent picture quality 4K home theater projector that has none of the ‘smart’ tv features.

A good burr grinder is all about consistent grind size and is very easy to observe. Spread a small amount of ground coffee out on a piece of paper. Observe the varying sizes and sh…

This would be easily solved if car manufacturers cared at all… simply cover the bottom of the car with panels. A side benefit would be the increased fuel economy from the cleaner a…
