I don’t think that’s a great comparison. You’re most likely never allowed to paint your door. I would say it’s more like curtains, your apartment has proprietary curtain rods, that you can’t put your own curtains on for some reason, so you ask all your neighbors how to change them. They respond with “have you tried opening and closing your curtains yet?”, “Try vacuuming them to get the dust off”. Then you finally get a hold of the landlord and they say you can’t replace them.

Wut?

Brainfuck comes to mind

Why not go with solar powered cameras?

My crochet hooks don’t show a lot of wear either.

I appreciate yts, you know what you’re gonna get. I can be sure to have a movie ready to go for the family in 15 minutes.

Really, the benefit is the audio will be stereo and dialogue will be either heard or not at all and I know there’s nothing I can do about it.

Yeah I don’t understand any of these words.

Ok, maybe you specifically shouldn’t make your own, but somebody else who knows this things could.

Slight correction, Lora is shared with amateur bands, but the transmission power is low enough that it’s within unlicensed limits.

Also, they can actually transmit quite far, they just can’t penetrate well. A mountaintop node can communicate to the horizon, but inside a house at desk height it can struggle to reach a half mile.

It’s not illegal to use encryption if your transmission is below 1 watt, such as normal Wi-Fi. If you want to use more power, then you need to get a license and your traffic can’t be encrypted. Licensed amateurs can use orders of magnitude more power and cover areas city wide, rather than barely within the confines of a home.

Amateur radio shares the Wi-Fi frequencies. Amateur radio is allowed to use more power than your Wi-Fi router. So to use more power, you must be licensed and no encryption allowed.

It’s at the bottom of that chart.

As an avid apple disliker, they really got a lot of things right with 10.x, with snow leopard hitting it out of the park. Everything from them around that era was slick. If I wasn’t a poor college kid running a 5 year old eBay Thinkpad I would have been sucked into their oppressive ecosystem in a heartbeat.

A family size meal should have enough to at least be the entree for four people. With enchiladas that means two per person, not one. It’s a corn tortilla with stuff rolled in it, barely larger than a taquito, you need two for it to not look like a depression meal (we’re already cooking frozen enchiladas, we’re there already, it doesn’t need to be rubbed in).

I’ve noticed that sizes are shifting. Party size is now what used to be family size and can actually feed four, sometimes it’s called mega family size or some bullshit. Family size now means two adults and maybe a child <10 yrs. I remember a family size lasagna had leftovers when I was a kid.

Didn’t upstart show up in jaunty jackalope? I don’t recall systemd being all that big back then. Also, jaunty booted in 30s to desktop on a 4200rpm spinning rust IDE drive, Intel m processor. In my book they succeeded there but yeah, the attitude they have about contributing to current projects is bullshit.

The joke in my friend group was that Waterworld was Dances with Wolves on water. The Postman was Waterworld on land. Dances with Wolves was the Postman with Native Americans. Toss in whichever parallel you feel works best to not actually say the movie you’re putting on.

If you don’t need a laptop, I’ve been having a blast with using mini/micro/tiny business PCs off of eBay. I’ve had zero issues installing Debian on them, and they’re designed to be easy to maintain by IT departments, so Wi-Fi, storage, RAM, and even CPUs are all replaceable. They are mobile CPUs, so if you need the heavy lifting of desktop CPUs, you’d probably need to go with a larger form factor.

I think we had 10 channels growing up in the 90s in Denver. I’m pretty sure 70 might have actually been the max, so the joke was that he connected more channels than we’re possible and it was still all crap.

I’m a cheap ass who mostly gets old hardware, so it’ll probably be a while before I get to see the benefits of that.

Yeah lsblk, lsscsi, fdsik -l , go have a coffee, come back later and hit enter on dd

Then realize you typed the command wrong and panic when you don’t get an error.
