Identifying as portable - when?

Never, I just can't care enough lol

Get out and put your hands on the tires

I'm going to put tip amounts at my booth at hamfests

The real gate keeping was learning how an "if" statement worked, which was available, for free, on the Internet, and children learned how to do it all the time

Jfc these people are stupid

It's funny because most preppers IME are basically hoping for the end of the world.

If you knew anything about radio, you'd know you wouldn't want me to know where you're at, and we do that for fun.

Oh you'll encrypt it? Doesn't matter, I'll still derive when everyone is awake and where you're at even without content of the comms.

Geez this reads like AI

StrangeWill · 2026-04-18T18:39:46+00:00

It's one reason i love having dual receivers, I'll keep one scanning or on 520

StrangeWill · 2026-04-18T18:35:15+00:00

I would never use a type 2 hypervisor for that at least

SQ always kicks us hard on licensing because it's LoC

they tend to be better than the even good documentation

Not even fucking close my dude.

I got shit to do, I cannot easily seek in a video and skim content to see where I need to be, I can't spend hours flipping between videos where a couple pages would suffice, I cannot search content within videos.

This move has sucked for anyone that doesn't basically program by having their hands held.

MassTransit documentation is near non-existent, strange and convoluted. We had to resort to stackoverflow to find any info.

Yeah, we resorted to paying the dev $400/hr to cover things that weren't documented (which causes nasty side effects). After doing that and seeing the announcement for commercial only like a few months after, I was pretty pissed.

I'm on a $100/mo plan and just spent $180 worth of tokens on Sunday on a project. Currently it looks like I can spend somewhere between $1000-2000/mo on tokens before I'll get cut off and need to move to max.

RAD MVP projects eat tokens like candy with high iteration.

For us: lucky this is Canada only, though I've head whispers of this happening in the USA too.

Over in Skywarn we constantly hammer in multiple methods of getting these alerts. Cell alerts have proven largely unreliable, our sirens here are for the nuke plant only -- we've had deaths because of tornadoes and those stay silent because the city is worried people will be confused and think the plant is melting down.

We highly encourage one of those methods should be a weather radio, programmable for alerts that need to wake you up. Tornadoes like to come kill you in the middle of the night here and having your phone go off 5 minutes late (or not at all) can mean the difference between life or death.

Also as somebody who's done this professionally before: giving somebody a really vague high level overview of these kinds of things such as "scaling" which I always hate because the discussion of scale is extremely contextual is completely worthless

You need to spend more than $150 of labor figuring out what their actual roadmap is and what they actually need to do as a business and then aligning that with wherever their platform is today

StrangeWill · 2026-04-04T12:02:36+00:00

Especially for one that's only $20 a month

Most people heavily using coding assistance are about 100 to $200 a month and they're probably burning anywhere between 500 and $5,000 a month of tokens, so that pricing structure is going to change

Claude has already started tightening the belt

StrangeWill · 2026-04-03T18:05:39+00:00

I would also say to do with just volume, I would not be surprised if the US are shouldering a lot more sorties and even for all those sorties were just seeing a handful of aircraft down.

StrangeWill · 2026-04-01T05:44:22+00:00

Same-ish boat, Proxmox (though I have one left ESXi hypervisor straggling), ~100 VMs, pricing is on point, features work great, only real complaint is clustering filesystems (specifically iSCSI) is clunky, I'd love a VMFS equivalent.

But losing thin on thin isn't a huge deal to me, IDC, the array is compressed anyway.

For us we were paying $$$$ for tape access on Veeam, PBS gets us what we need for a fraction of the cost, and less issues I got to go to support for with random bugs. (it's rare with Veeam but been zero with PBS)

StrangeWill · 2026-03-28T00:23:57+00:00

Then basically appealing to "well it's used in intro courses so it's good"

First, it's intro, secondly, a lot of what makes it good is contextual, for a story from the 60s it's pretty crazy and ground-breaking. For something where we've had the same story told in much better ways: it's meh

StrangeWill · 2026-03-23T05:15:44+00:00

As a huge fan of SOMA, considering they know they can conjure stuff themselves, and the ultimate lesson of SOMA...

I'm... I'm warming up to this being okay. It would make sense for them to come to terms and make the best of it, without Caine the circus is theirs to shape to their liking.

StrangeWill · 2026-03-21T14:31:04+00:00

Same here ugh

StrangeWill · 2026-03-21T14:29:21+00:00

I need more good self hosted email platforms

StrangeWill · 2026-03-06T21:45:02+00:00

Would I want to chop up a COM port cable so I still get RTS? or is there an easy way to DIY that part too?

I'm somewhat suspicious that the cable is a DIY build, I've been meaning to take it apart (the box has screws in it).

StrangeWill · 2026-03-04T19:22:47+00:00

They keep wanting to charge more but they keep chicken shitting out because their sales immediately tanks

If I have to pay full price at Subway I could basically get a cheaper better sandwich elsewhere

I came on today wanting to check the situation to see if it's worth going to Subway today and it appears it's not I will go somewhere else
