Same. It being on a board like eli5 makes it even more spammy.

I find that digitalocean (which is a VPS provider) has great tutorials.

I often tend to search "how to X site:digitalocean.com", despite hosting almost everything on my own hardware.

That’s what scares me - not being wrong, but being convinced I’m right for reasons that are more about mood than method.

I think that'll be the case most of the time. The only known way to get a grasp of reality is cooperation, and the agreement to let experiment be the arbiter of truth. Which is difficult, as many systems can't easily be experimented on in isolation (and you're left with counterfactuals only).

Histories greatest thinkers struggled with this too. Descartes changed his famous postulate "je pense donc je suis" to "je doute donc je suis" later in life. ("I think therefore I am", became "I doubt therefore I am"). I read that as trading reason for emotion as core to his being.

If me and 5 friends read your a-hole, I bet all of us would come to the same conclusion.

Yes, it does. It's scary how much perception changes

Except when it does (1)

Can you explain why and how? Do you imagine other (better?) batteries, or the disappearance of the need for batteries?

Oh noo. Oh yes.

That's a known coping strategy (1). "My broken leg isn't a problem, the problem is that other's legs aren't broken".

I prefer someone with neither napoleon nor jesus complex.

I prefer pyinfra over ansible.

I like https://github.com/bazelbuild/starlark as a concept, but it is sadly quite unpopular.

 

I've got a small off grid place near a pond. The pond is nice to ponder at, but also a lovely breeding ground for mosquitos.

Therefore, I keep the door to the cabin usually closed.

But, as temperature is rising, I'm wondering if a screen door + some naturally mosquito repelling plants near the entrance might do the trick as well. So I can get some air flow at night.

Are there any such plants you know of? Preferentially perennial.

 

I'm moving soon and I've 0 instinct for that, so looking for help and ideas :)

 
 

On the one hand, I think OCR, text to voice, image to text, ... has improved quite a lot.

On the other hand more and more stuff is locked away in apps, and javascript blob websites, so I can imagine it's harder for accessibility tools to access information.

But I'm just guessing. Do any of you know first or second hand?

 

The wooden kind

 

I'm looking to build a small entertainment device for use in my offgrid place. I'd like to use it for reading, music and movies. I'd like for it to have low power needs. And for it to carry a varied library.

How would you build such a thing?

My initial idea is to repurpose an android phone, install VLC, and an SD card with pirated video transcoded to 720p, ebooks and mp3s.

Does it make sense to maximize battery life by jailbreaking the phone and disabling background services?

Thanks for your input

 

Does anyone have a pair? How do they compare to generic ear plugs?

This die defines your luck in life, and is rolled by your god of choice at every important event: roll a (0) you fail miserably, (6) you succeed briliantly, (4) you pass, barely.

Would you rather have:
A: a 000666 die?
B: a 111555 die?
C: a 222444 die?
D: a 333333 die?

 

I'm looking for a wireless HDMI cable essentially, as that's the only way I use my chromecast. So I don't care about it running android or apps.

Anyone got ideas or suggestions?
