It's just from articles like this and what I read on the DIY solar forums, so it's interesting to see the real numbers, thanks.

As much as I hate the source of the tariff policies, from an uneducated outsider PoV, they do seem to be causing fewer dollars to leave the country in imports.

How does it feel from an insider perspective? Are the increased costs on imported items and dependent services worth it for a bit more local investment?

Nice point! Would it be the same for sound that doesn't escape a room?

A Reddit user, u/premium_bawbag, who hired a Ford Puma for a week reported a similar experience.

Lovely traditional Scottish name there. ;-)

A purely resistive heater, by definition, has no reactive component so there's no reactive power considerer.

The 0.1% mentioned might be the light that the project produces.

Until there's more wide support for Encrypted Client Hello (ECH), the SNI header in the TLS handshake is always sent in plaintext. Between that an unencrypted DNS, most routers can easily spot/log what you're accessing in a browser.

I think that comment is a little unfair, as the one you link to is a much more sophisticated attack. Thanks for the link, though. Great read!

I think the owner wanted 100 Gbps of scan traffic or had set a specific scan-rate target, which determined that bit rate, so the LLM (correctly) predicted it needed all of those to hit the target.

That's appalling! At that stage, it's not on-call, it's just another badly paid shift, which you're probably forced to do in addition to your 9-5. Good on you for leaving.

You're right, but the blog author also seemed to be in the same position.

Great point, and even beyond that I think (based on the paths) it was just a command line invocation, with something like NFS handling all the networking.

Wow! I hadn't seen this, thanks. Do you think they are doing it with relatively innocent motives?

When do you see this? For me, I just go to System Settings → Privacy & Security. Scroll down to Security and look for the message about the blocked app, click Allow Anyway, and then reopen the app.

Not that oldness is much of a metric for quality, but Postgres does go quite a lot further back: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL#Ingres_and_Universi...

They can do so today. Works great for my parents.

This may be an obvious point, but I didn't see it mentioned in the (otherwise excellent) article: I would have been interested in the cost saving in just implementing the 'delete on read' with S3 that they ended up using with the home-made in-memory cache solution. I can't see this on the S3 billing page, but if the usage is billed per-second, as with some other AWS services, then the savings may be significant.

The solution they document also matches the S3 'reduced redundancy' storage option, so I hope they had this enabled from day one.

Yes, they mention this as a 'fix' for connection-related memory usage:

Disable keep-alive: close the connection immediately after each upload completes.

Very odd idea.

Sorry to say that I don't think any of it is made in Europe. From https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/meet-the-engineers-behind-r...:

Hardware engineers Simon Martin and Chris Martin have been beavering away on Raspberry Pi 500+ for years, through a process of iteration that’s seen a total of ten factory trips to China, six PCB revisions...

Interesting read, thanks! One almost LOL moment for me was at the end of this paragraph:

That is also an important part of AWS’s retention strategy: for most AWS customers the easiest solution to rising costs is to simply sign a long-term contract, dramatically decreasing their prices (again, Amazon has the margin to spare) while ensuring they stay on AWS that much longer, accumulating that much more data and relying on that many more AWS-specific services. Hotel Seattle, as it were.

Making something out of it and getting a hit on HN would easily be 'enough' for me. Your replies read like you've had some personal issue with a hoarder. Digging into that may help you in the long run.

I'm not sure where to go for the free VPS, other than Oracle Cloud, as you mention, but a Cloudflare tunnel will get traffic into your LAN even behind CGNAT or other nonsense.

This is the latest in the line of excuses/distractions made up by the fossil fuel industry. This one seems particularly stupid to me. Once you have purchased your solar panels, I don't see how they offer any control to anyone other than yourself.

It might have done, but that was roughly the age of the Voodoo 2, which kicked in only when needed for 3D and was literally disconnected from the monitor the rest of the time.

The performance/battery life of a phone can be seriously affected by the software (each new iOS being built for newer CPUs), whereas this is less of a factor for cars.

I have the same issue with a lack of charging at home, and totally identify with what you say here. The lack of an organised queue (could be in the provider's app, rather than a physical one) at oversubscribed charging stations is the worst thing about EV driving for me.

"You can use your iPhone 15 and later to charge your AirPods, Apple Watch or another small device that supports USB Power Delivery at up to 4.5 watts." from https://support.apple.com/en-gb/105099

This works with my Beats headphones and is very useful.

Wow, that's quite an achievement. Do you use https://apphousekitchen.com/aldente-overview/?

Starting tomorrow, customers in the U.S. can sign up for AppleCare One directly on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or by visiting their nearest Apple Store.

Do you think this means it covers Mac too, or just that you can buy it on a Mac but only for other devices, as mentioned below:

...AppleCare One extends that same reliability and makes it easier than ever to protect the products you love and depend on like iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch...

Why would they not look at the uploaded images, especially when the tool fails to parse them?
