I’ll do YOU one better: WHY is @[email protected]?

when you’re the OS, they let you do it. you can do anything.

We were so preoccupied with whether or not we could that we didn’t stop to think if we should.

i use Tailscale on everything these days (or use Headscale if you want to self host the control plane). with the free plan you get up to 100 devices on a "tailnet", just set the right ACLs to only allow the remote connection ports of choice, pair it with self hosted RustDesk, and you should be good to go. the NAT traversal of Tailscale is pretty good from what i've observed, but sometimes you might get stuck on a relay (called a DERP) if it can't get across the firewall(s).

Zig is really starting to grow on me, it's basically an unfucked C (screw you, macros) and you can translate C into Zig code…and it has comptime, very nice! I don't have the patience for Rust in my hobby projects and the standalone-ness of Zig is perfect for embedded/systems programming. it definitely needs to mature more before the masses start taking it seriously, but goddamn it's nice to code in.

Except for me
You know why?

seems like this is an area that a nice “arrangement” could be made, that is, US congress: you grant T-Mobile their band 41 licenses that are being held up by your own incompetence in exchange for T-Mobile actually addressing their own repeated incompetence involving anything related to data security. sell it to the public under the guise that it would be detrimental to the US consumer by letting T-Mobile continue to expand their public reach while completely ignoring the importance of data privacy and security of said public… and you can go on taking bribes from AT&T and Verizon in the meantime, dunno, sounds like a win-win to me.

hell, even intel tried to get away from x86 with itanium but failed miserably… and they screwed themselves again by recently dumping the RISC-V pathfinding a year after initiation. i worry about the future of Arc, but maybe they’ll pull their head out of their ass on that one if we’re lucky.

Yep, find a cheapo 5g modem with an ethernet port that’s capable of being given an identity crisis from the usual sources and you’ll be golden…ask me how I know. We ain’t got shit out where I am other than garbage DSL, but decent 5g coverage from the big 3 surprisingly.

Starlink only serves a purpose in truly rural or remote areas where, unsurprisingly, they’ll make no money. The number of people I see using it as a backup connection or aggregate it with terrestrial cable or fiber connections is obscene… and a waste of money imo.

and different parts of the body resonate at different frequencies…part of the reason ~2.4 GHz was picked for the common household microwave is water molecules resonate there (and other harmonically related frequencies too… it’s why a lot of the unlicensed ISM stuff is allocated there: crappy atmospheric propagation). also the necessary magnetron and waveguide for that freq is conveniently sized for a kitchen appliance and not too complicated.

EDIT: see proper principle of operation in reply below

the upfront cost for something like geothermal is still outrageous, though. anecdotally, i bought my house with an older unit that ended up catastrophically failing after the reversing valve got stuck and destroyed the compressor. only 1 local shop in the area serviced the thing (same people who installed it when the house was built…) and the unit had long been discontinued since the company that made it (hydro delta) went bankrupt years ago. it was over $15k to put in a new updated unit… luckily my home owners insurance (with the help of a rider i added a year earlier that covered home systems) footed the bill, albeit after a long and arduous battle with the 3rd party shits that state farm outsourced it to. now this new system has a 10 year warranty on parts and labor, otherwise, i would have switched to gas in a heart beat. i can put in a new gas unit every year for 10 years at the same price… so while the geo’s monthly electric bill is nice, i wouldn’t dare install a new residential build with geo… plus add another easy $50k for the loop field if it’s a new install.

i’m afraid what’s going to happen once then 10 years are up since that always seems to be about the time major home appliances fail… probably try to move by then so it isn’t my problem, lol.

what happened to K.E.V.I.N.!?

100% agree, it’s also how I keep my 98 Camry alive outside the occasional trip to the junkyard.

meh, it still has some use. my dog tore up the plastic housing on garage door sensors out of boredom and there was no way i was calling a local place to quote out parts for a 14 year old opener… found the same pair of sensors (albeit used) on ebay for $25. a little dog proofing later and bingo bango, back in business. but usually it’s my last resort for obscure stuff that i can’t find anywhere else and i have to be really desperate.

But you have to trust the instruments and not become disoriented, takes lots of training and practice.
