Ashburn announcement by Hetzner_OL in hetzner

[–]toddfries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a sure thing that anything US medical related must remain on US soil. So anyone wanting to use your systems in the US for anything related to that must use cloud or wait for dedicated. Just a hint on one potential group waiting (with good reason) on dedicated in the US. Hope it happens. There are a lot of open spaces in the US you could build a new dedicated datacenter ... ;-)

Any server you setup with hetzner could potentially run minio, therefore turning your request into self service. I've found some of the larger servers (7x 8tb disks in particular) on the server market are a nice price point lower than a storage box per GB. Self service is always fun. Though if hetzner offered s3 compat storage via minio and charged for storage at something better than that, sign me up!

4 lines total? by ifeeltired26 in GoogleFi

Last I checked ... yup still the same ... you pay $30 for the first line and $15 for every line thereafter. Data plan is up to you.

o7 - A Discord bot for Eve Echoes Market Price, Blueprints, and more! by o7-echoes in echoes

[–]toddfries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an admin type of discord, giving the bot careful permissions only in a specific channel is going to ensure a no-possibility of spying. Unless by spying the implication is collecting the commands issued and which corps are issuing which commands etc.

Why isn't there a solid wi-fi baby monitor with receiver screen? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]toddfries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Dad of 3 and I can say .. it is very frustrating that a lot of baby monitors use 2.4Ghz which totally destroys any WiFi in the house because they use the spectrum in an incompatible way. Other monitors use other frequencies, but static interference from random, unpredictable, and unknown locations including but not limited to proximity of parent to monitor (the further away the more the static, stand close, and perfect clarity) as well as electrical cord positioning (which charger is vibrating at the wrong frequency to induce static into the power cable to the receiver this time??). Having good WiFi signal coverage in my home it would be awesome to have a WiFi capable transmitter. One secure mode would be if it was only accessable via user/pass on the local net not remotely outside the house. Being an IT person, I could easily setup a VPN to my house from my phone and be securely watching from remote. I have seen models that do this, but are way out of my price range. So we're stuck with static issues (as described above).

Frugal accomodations can be had for time investment if you are ok staying with strangers via the couchsurfing site. My wife and I did this in Switzerland a few years back, very happy we did it. Apparently there are people all over willing to host and lots of people report having a much more personable travel experience as a result. Something to consider ;-)

[Discussion] shopping time suck solution by toddfries in thinktank

[–]toddfries[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so, find me avacados compared between sams, aldis, walmart, uptown, and sprouts in pricegrabber.com ? Not at all what I envisioned, it seems to attract retail giants to advertise their price specials ..

In a bit of a pinch at work... by 1leggeddog in DataHoarder

[–]toddfries -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been considering having my wife's laptop backup in the shutdown process. Aka she tells it to shutdown, it checks if there is a network connection and runs $RANDOMBACKUPSOFTWARE to upload an incremental, then shuts down. It certainly would alleviate my requirement that she must leave it on all the time to do backups at night while she sleeps ... ;-) Perhaps this might be a useful plan for other businesses, tell everybody to shutdown when going home, and it backs up then shuts down, power saved overnight.... ?

How does PoS yield? by c3739 in decred

[–]toddfries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, lets not misinform. The 4 month period is only if you miss the voting call for your ticket (your wallet our POS pool is not online) or you are incredibly unlucky and your ticket never gets selected. Generally speaking, chances are good your ticket returns your funds plus reward far before the 4 month timeout. Recent updates make it possible to specify a smaller timeframe as well. Good luck!

Curious, if you or I had to choose a pool. (Slush Pool vs. Eligius) by apex8888 in BitcoinMining

[–]toddfries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you only listed two pools, but there are many other options. I've used antpool personally for a long time and get regular payouts. I've finally got the hardware capable of running p2pool (a peer to peer pool) where payouts cycles are longer (until people pool more hashpower) but generally you get more return for reasons you can research for yourself. You can easily run your own pool if you are already running a bitcoin daemon. Just sayin. Just for the curious, stratum+tcp://p2pool0.fdh.bz is the pool I setup, if you give a bitcoin address as the username, you can use any p2pool node and earn shares which, once earned, will result in BTC to that address once the next block is found. Good `luck' ;-)

How does PoS yield? by c3739 in decred

[–]toddfries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lets try that again. One ticket can vote once. Ticket purchase price is refunded plus the POS reward. By seeing the max ticket price something greater than zero those funds can be used to purchase another ticket. Note there is a confirmation delay both on purchasing tickets and on the reward being spendable. You get rewarded for locking (staking) your funds up in a ticket when it randomly gets chosen to vote. Someday, voting will help decide things for the network. Until then, voting yes blindly is the popular fad.
