Blackvue cameras have WiFi but its always off by default. You have to manually toggle it with a button and if nothing connects it turns back off.

Too much steroids and coke

I am also an urban hipster, I carry everyday so weight is the single most important attribute so all my pant pockets don't get wrecked. I bought mine in 2020 for $120 and was squeamish with the price. $180 four years later is insane.

Very good eye. Underground high voltage wiring, an electric fence. I ran conduit underground to all four of my 4'x8' raised beds and put 4,000 volt rated wiring in it. Then at each box I run aluminum wire around the perimeter and connect it all to an electric fence controller. I've been gardening for over 10 years now and its the only thing that 100% prevents bunnies and ground hogs from eating my veggie. They get one zap and they don't come back.

I hear ya but my instance is old (before i knew docker) and just works on the rails. I also tweak the heck out of it for performance so I deal with the annoyance once every two years. If it completely blows up I might roll it on docker.

I understand that everyone doesn't always have a perfect experience but I've been using the same instance of nextcloud for over 8 years I just keep upgrading and migrating. It just works. Only issues I've had is when Debian withholds updating php for too long or when they finally do all the config files for php get fucked and I have to redo them all.

They also make wonderful axes and mauls I use to abuse trees and let all my anger out. A by product of this behavior is I also get to heat my home in the cold months.

Deleted the certs from the sshd daemon which locked me out of a remote server that required and a 2 hour drive to fix.

Burning natural gas isn't so awful but getting it out of the ground and to the place where is needs to be burned is always overlooked. It's a gas, it wants to escape and much of the infrastructure leaks and so a great deal is lost before its used. I walk around Boston and no joke you just SMELL it all the time because the infrastructure is so old. Natural gas is also mostly methane which when leaked is 80 times more potent than CO2. Furthermore much natural gas needs to be transported on ships to be uses. To summarize there is no 'greener' fossil fuels it's all to be avoided if possible.

I block any call or text unless you're in my contacts. I'm done playing. No notification for the blocked calls either.

Here is the list!

1 x Samsung SSD 980 1TB

1 x Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 2TB

2 x Samsung SSD 870 QVO 8TB

1 x Western digital engineering sample. Cannot comment. 4TB

1 x Seagate Exos X16 14tb

My server is a ryzen 5600g based and has; 2 x m.2 SSDs, 3xSATA SSDs (20TB) and one spun down mechanical disk (14TB) and my total idle power is around 27W. The mechanical disk is the only notable load, unplugging it can save me 5W idle and when it spins up its about 15W total. I can give you specific model numbers if you like.

I'm sorry but wireguard is not easy for beginners and the quick QR code generator in the command line was fantastic and light years ahead of fumbling around with getting config files securely to a mobile device.

Been using afraid.org for well over 10 years and use dynamic dns to have various subdomains pointing to different IP addresses/hosts I have in physically different places. It just works and I login maybe once every 3-4 years.

It's getting worst though. A lot worst. They keep adding more and more layers to make it so difficult and convoluted you give up. Last year my insurance started using an external pharmacy for my meds. Fine. But my meds to need to be administered by a nurse in a hospital. So I need to get prior authorization from my doctor to my insurance who then approves the pharmacy to do the meds. But there are 30% copays now so I use a third party company that works with the company that makes the meds to comp the 30%. Then I need to get the hospital to call the pharmacy to order meds on my behalf and send it to the hospital, not me. Then I can finally schedule my appointment to actually get the shot in the hospital. I do this circus once a year, every year because they change one layer every year and so I have to figure out the new rules. It's pure madness.

Thanks for the reminder. Just signed up for monthly donations.

Stone fruit. Could be peach or plum or nectarines etc. Wait until it blooms and examine the flowers.

I can 100% see that in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Super white washed and no industry to bring in fresh faces, just generational residency.

No outdoor advertisements/billboards, very few national chains, very protective of local business, everyone is very connected with the land and their community. Vermont is awsome.

Listen to this guy! Spot on. When I built my server I spent more time researching and paying for the PSU more than any other single part. Ended up with a Seasonic PRIME FANLESS PX-450. Server idles around 25W with a ryzen 5600g and 40TB of storage.
