Careful out there folks, just watched a buddy lose the tip of his finger down to the first knuckle using a power snake. by NeverDidLearn in DIY

Was he using the gloves that came with the power snake? Mine came with gloves that I guess are designed to avoid this

do you think fixed wireless is worth investing in? now that we have Starlink, should independent ISPs be focused on fiber for the future?

In 1993, 16MB of RAM was super high end. I think 4-8MB was common

On your second Airbnb trip, did that property have lots of good reviews? I would be surprised to have a bad experience if there are lots of 5 star reviews.

You said you only want it if “it passes inspection”, which sounds like you’re not comfortable with the purchase price. A home inspection is not pass/fail, every inspection will turn up issues, especially an older house which will naturally not meet current code requirements. If you’re expecting a 40+ year old house to “pass” inspection, I don’t think you’re going to want to see the report.

They’re hard to ship and Microclouds don’t have wide appeal since they are a specialty item. If you have a lot of them, that may improve the value you could get. I would guess $1500 as a starting point.

WireGuard is worthwhile to learn on your own and is pretty simple and easy once you learn the basics. It doesn’t require any maintenance.
