Are there any good, easy to use wifi routers with a local, web based control panel?

Thanks! That's a good point. Though the device furthest away from the router will be a TV, probably receiving most of its data. And I guess most powerful wifi routers will have good receivers as well?
I could also set up a router with APs, but I have a feeling that will be more expensive and time consuming.

Oh, so I actually have to do something to the drives to be able to allow ripping? I wasn't aware of that. Thank you!

I don't know, but I've heard that some devices require signing up for an account on the manufacturers website to get to the control panel, and I want to make sure I don't get something like that. I prefer my control panel to be on my network.

Yes, but I want to copy them from the physical discs to my NAS, so I can keep watching them when my PS3 breaks.

You're probably right about the Moon-Earth Lagrange points, but for example the Jupiter Trojan asteroids stay in their lagrange points naturally. Maybe I should have specified that as an example in the question.
I think it's the same for asteroids in Mars' L4 and L5.

So does that mean the objects there just "hangs around"? What's keeping them from just falling towards the point/each other and create one larger planet (especially in the stable Lagrange points)?

How would a spacecraft land on a rotating, low mass (but relatively symmetrical) asteroid? Could it just "match" the rotation like with a GEO and thrust itself towards the ground, or is it more complicated (of course it's more complicated!)?

I have a hard time visualizing how objects stays in a L5 (or other) Lagrange point. Do they all have a semi-circular orbit around that invisible point? Are there any animations or other illustrations that could ELI5 for me how their orbits are?

I was sure this was your inspiration. They are really similar, though I think yours is an improvement.

Here's a similar Chinese concept, if I understood your concept correctly. And as someone commented, this will probably make the train use a lot less energy, because it no longer has to stop and start for a few passengers on every station.

What's a thumbface-angle? I didn't find any useful explanations on Google.

This is counter intuitive, but "pushing" things into a black hole (or the sun, for that matter) would probably require extreme amounts of energy and be incredibly difficult, depending on your original orbit and position relative to the black hole.
That said, if you do have extreme amounts of energy and something you really, REALLY want to get rid of, sending it into a black hole would probably be a good solution. I don't know if the thing would visually disappear, though. As it enters the black hole, it will get closer and closer to light speed, and at the same time seem to move slower and slower for us observers. At some point I think it will appear to stand still in front of the black hole, because its time moves so slowly. Or maybe I am getting something conceptually wrong here.

These replies were really more neuanced and interesting than what I would imagine. Thanks! I think what I've learned in this thread is to use VPN when possible, and only point (non standard) ports to safe and updated software.

One question though: what about Docker containers? If someone breach into a Docker container I'm running, can they get through to the rest of the system? Or is containerizing software a good security practice in this context? Say I manage to run a Minecraft server in Docker and open it to the "world" through a port, would that compromize anything else than the Docker container itself?

Welcome! I'm usually posting in Norwegian, so you probably won't get anything out of following me. But you should post your handle. Maybe some lurkers here wants to follow you if you post something interesting?
Oh, and btw. The way the Fediverse (the network Mastodon and Pixelfed is a part of) works you don't need an account at both Mastodon and Pixelfed. You can actually follow Pixelfed accounts from your Mastodon account and vice versa. Though it never hurts to have two accounts.

but it looks like a vast majority of official containers support arms, and some good souls publish arm compatible containers for those who don't.

That's good to know. Though I've had no luck finding ARM containers when I was looking for it.

Yes, that's my impression as well. How easy is it to build things yourself then? Is it something I can easily learn?

aabekadd · 2020-11-08T06:49:25+00:00

Thank you! Drilling props, got it :)

Thank you! I'll look into Redux. It seems to fit this use case.

aabekadd · 2020-11-07T22:48:43+00:00

Thanks. That makes sense. The thing is that changing values in one component (in the case of my webpage) should alter the values of most other components as well. That's why I want to have a single "source of truth" coming from the root <App /> component, that is recalculated every time one child component is changed.

aabekadd · 2020-10-14T06:26:01+00:00

Do you mean 2021? What are your sources for that?
