    > The _current_ regulations favor the established. Which is why de-regulation is the answer in this case. If a regulation is bad, roll it back, don't put another layer of complexit…

    No. The regulations aren't in place to protect consumers, they're in place to make it prohibitively expensive for anyone to compete. They're lobbied into existence by the market in…

    You're probably confusing Fluoride which is actually quite difficult to remove, often needing expensive and complicated filtration such as Reverse Osmosis, with Chlorine which is t…

    I've had mostly a positive experience with Jellyfin on AppleTV. Have you tried it? Curious what's considered a dealbreaker for you.

    The alternative to reclaiming would be to leave it in place and pave over the top (asphalt overlay). That has limits, though, so reclamation will be a requirement over time. The cl…

    Semver has been 2.0.0 for 10 years, look at the date of the assets. Multiple releases created today where none existed before. Not sure why someone is creating releases now, perhap…

    Would invites be a solution? Anyone can sign up if they provide a number, otherwise you need an invite from someone with a number linked. It would clump the identity/legitimacy for…

    Bitwarden is underrated. Passwords run everything in our digital life. I will gladly take a UI compromise here and there for more trustworthiness.

    I might do this, but the servo still works. So long as I can still drive the servo, I think I'm good. It's open loop, so I'll need to watch something to determine when the door is …

    I have a door from Run-Chicken, mechanically it's still good but the electronics went out in it. I'd love to have something like this running it, going to give it a shot.
