My go-to for low power consumption is a Chromebook running some vanilla flavor of Linux. I have some HP units that will run for almost a day on battery with the lid closed. $25<$250.

You wouldn't be "broadcasting" with it, you'd just be using it as backhaul.

AREDN users would probably be pretty happy to have a node at 1500' in the Verdugos.

Why do you need a studio?

If this is completely non-commercial and you have an amateur license you could probably use AREDN as a backhaul instead of HaLow. We've gotten wifi going from a panel in Elysian up to Wilson on AREDN.

100w from the Verdugos should be pretty substantial. I regularly make 70cm FM contacts on 446.500 from Elysian Park down to San Diego at 5w.

One could build up a reputation with a completely anonymous PGP key. That was somewhat the point of USENET ca. 1998.

Traditionally it was btrfs RAID5/6 that really sucked. I've not played with it.

I can think of several taco trucks that are going to do just fine.

FreeBSD has had a hard time supporting Intel Thinkpads, and they're making progress at getting better. Supporting Apple arm64 is a much heavier lift than that.

I'm going to go way out on a limb and offer: whatever it is that you are, it isn't "confused."

This is the kind of nerd-snark that makes normal people not trust anything from the mouths of "experts."

I feel that it's hard to be mad at Go if you look at it as "python 4.0."

Undead, undead, undead.

I've been running a Prosody server for a month or so. Thus far a positive experience.

"Modern" is the most passive-aggressive adjective in the history of HN.

If only Europeans understood that Suez was the moment that the United States rendered its "allies" into "colonies."

No argument from me. I'm not happy that Europe is in this position, I just wish that Europeans were aware of it.

Europe has no say in the matter, short of France using its nukes.

Europe is not allowed to have its own foreign policy, let alone "side with China." All of those US military bases are there for a reason.

The Taco Bell menu is several permutations of cheese, lettuce, ground beef, sour cream, and guacamole.

The marketing vocabulary includes Pro, Max, Sport, Comp, Light, Elite, XT, GT, Super, and Extra.

SuperMax Pro. Sportmax GT. Sportmax Elite GT. Comp Extra. Etc.

Marketing things as "pro" is nothing new. I'm sure others could go back farther than this.

As for "rip-offs," the design language of every aluminum Macbook has basically been Leica rangefinder.

Which is a double "rip-off," as the IBM Thinkpad goes back a lot farther and it was intentionally made black-with-red-accents to pay homage to Nikon while having the form factor of a bento box.

As an American, every car I've ever owned was statistically included with an automatic transmission. Strangely, none of the cars I've owned have had an automatic transmission.

Subaru was making CVT automatic cars back then that were even worse than the awful CVT cars of today. That would be my pick if I wanted to do a 30-year-old self driving car.

I've had good results running alt-browsers behind Privoxy.

Who cares if the ISP supports ipv6? Figuring out a world without DHCP and subnetting on a LAN is the hard part.

Imagine, walking into your office on a Monday morning, and your boss wants to reinvent everything after having gotten drunk and dipped into a hot tub with the HR people.

I'm no fan of Salesforce.

Any HN submission with the word "modern" in the title should be shit-canned.

It would be great if C# could be discussed as a language on its merits, but Microsoft has been a terrible steward. It's too bad.

Assembly is too little abstraction. Go is not.

I think Go is unique in this list in that the only other language that fills the same niche is Java, and Google can't afford to let the licensing whims of Oracle decide its fate.

That said, I'm actively rooting for the demise of some of the others.

Who cares about scans? Who cares if a scan comes in 4 or 6?
