Sibling comment has good suggestions. I personally like Dell Optiplex models, e.g. 9020. Looks like right now the best you can do is about 40-45 shipped for a complete one, but I'v…

Nope, and that definitely would have helped, but I bet 99% of people looking to use an old phone as a server aren't going to do all that either.

The biggest issue I've found while trying to do this is a very high rate of battery failure while plugged in 24/7 under load. 4/5 phones I've done this with have become spicy pillo…

While I don't think you're wrong to say that the trends/regime were the same then as today, that's very much more obvious in hindsight than it was at the time. You've got to recall…

It's been kind of enlightening seeing leadership at $BIGCORP push AI coding solutions like they're guaranteed to be a 10x increase in velocity in every context. Feedback from ICs i…

You can trade range for bandwidth by playing with the spread factor, an encoding tunable: https://meshtastic.org/docs/configuration/radio/lora/#modem-... But generally yes, latency…

Sounds like the plot of a Fukumoto Nobuyuki manga.

Re ISM band usefulness: yeah. I grudgingly admit that the propagation characteristics of HF and probably even VHF aren't a great match for the ISM governance model, but at least ev…

An interesting facet of this that makes me feel somewhat more charitable to cashless payments in that context is that it's very easy to perform cashless payments in Japan pseudoano…

You might enjoy it if you're after thoughtful story-driven shows from the last decade. It's on my personal mental shortlist of those right alongside ODDTAXI and Ousama. Knowledge o…

Have you seen Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū ?

Because I can't fit hundreds of tb of stuff on every endpoint and don't like having to manage either adding or removing dirs from Syncthing or moving things in/out from preexisting…

Syncthing for background syncing things like my keepass db I always want an offline, updated copy of. Smb over wg for general filesystem access and one-off bulk copies, usually via…

Something I've wondered about, because it seems like you might have run across this in your testing: does the default keyboard get anything if it's present on the system, but not t…

Definitely possible. Now I want to dig out a stock Android phone and retest. Aiui tailscale shouldn't introduce much if any load over wg, but I also wonder if you'd have different …

I don't find that to be the case with wg - have actually tested this and found a ~1-2% difference in battery consumption over a full charge, all on lte (pixel 8, graphene). Openvpn…

On Kon, Paranoia Agent is also excellent. And if we're taking 2000s shows into account, I also have to mention Kuuchuu Buranko in that category of Paranoia Agent-reminiscent sociol…

If we're specifically talking stuff from the last few years, and if shows count, I gotta put in a word for ODDTAXI. Feels like a mashup of the best parts of Yuasa Masaaki and Kon S…

Afaik, while better anti-tank weapons did come about during the war, a lot of it was also to do with adapting tactics and usage of existing weapons to counter the new "meta". For e…

I'm honestly bamboozled why anyone gives passkeys the time of day, given the mess that is attestation and its ability to enforce user-hostile ecosystem lockin: https://github.com/k…
