Anyone know of something like the ratgdo, but for motorized swing gates (like DoorKing)? I'd love to check the status as well as actuate open/close, but some of the "upgrade" quote…

RIPE Atlas is an amazing project. I remember getting 3 probes at a NANOG and telling my coworkers about it. They couldn't believe that it was a free project, and that I didn't have…

I've yet to make it out of the lab. The failover solutions seem to be A-B rather than A-B-DR. That is, you can have a primary and a replica (probably in the same DC/AZ), but you ca…

Depending on OS, you might need to actually put the interface name in there? As you can have fe80::1 on multiple interfaces...it being link-local. Maybe browsers are holding it bac…

Backup on site and store tertiary copies in a cloud. Storing all backups in AWS wouldn't meet a lot of compliance requirements. Even multiple AZs in AWS would not pass muster as th…

fe80::1 on link-local is/should almost always be configured as your gateway route. Works very well in corporate setups, too.

The larger tech companies give everyone an office. Microsoft started the trend back in the 80's.

There's often a large disconnect between teacher's union leadership and membership. Probably not unlike most union compositions in the US.

"Laws shmaws" is not a great defense.

"Why was iron low?" "We don't know." "It's better now?" "Yes we fixed it!" If they don't know what's wrong, how did they know what to fix? This is still fishy to me. Also, shame on…

They could hedge with futures contracts in a more liquid, reliable manner.

It sounds like PayPal isn't actually buying Bitcoin, but instead created their own proxy bookkeeping instrument. Speculation, but that's what it sounds like to me if you can't have…

He was like 102 in cocaine years.

She was mayor of San Francisco at the time.

My point was to show that she had a legitimate need, then let the permit lapse when she no longer had a need. She didn't have one for an abuse of power. I wasn't debating the merit…

She had one because the anarcho hippie terrorist groups of SF targeted her and shot up her home several times. When the group was arrested/disbanded, she let her permit lapse. Whil…

I hope that they can handle all those deletes on their spinning hard drives. Append-only is easy, since you're never deleting and there's no chance for fragmentation. Once you get …

Yep, soft wood prices are up 20-25% right now.

Yet long-lived connections (processes) suffer tremendously on Postgresql servers with high cores (> 100) and a decent amount of memory (> 256GB). Connection pooling is good, but yo…

Integrate it into KeePass or 1Password. I'm sure Yahoo will pay a billi for that.

Yeah the main difference is wireless devices use Collision Avoidance rather than Collision Detection.

Sounds like it's time to bring back BugMeNot.

What about the fires last year? Or two years ago? Those were worse for SF proper. It looked like Mars or the end of days 2 years ago.

AirNow's data _can_ be less accurate. For example, punching in a Lamorinda ZIP code only returns results for Oakland ("Oakland reporting area"), even if the ZIP correctly shows the…

The alarm.com smoke detectors are $50 and also last 10 years. You're paying a lot for a Google badge that doesn't even contact the fire department with the base setup. When a smoke…
