So is smelling different environments (mountains vs shore). Guess you'll have to stop being so anal when discussing such subjects.
Who will be the first to de-blur the second QR code in the demo video?

Zulip still looks like the best choice for me, mainly because of the threading. Trying out alternatives that integrate with UnifiedPush, none seem spectacular yet.

Australians are not alone in enduring misery induced by governments that have grown too large and controlling.

I was expecting it to be a pet project that took an old telephone that had the extra ABCD keys, run it through an arduino/AVR and into a USB port.

I do as well. If anything looks remotely similar to what I'm providing the free labor for classifying, I make sure to click that in the tiniest of hopes it does mess up their training.
Re:Experiments on a $50 DIY air purifier you can make in 30s on Monday January 29, 2024 @02:40PM (#39181363)
Unsure about the entire US... For my area they were called "window fans" in previous times. Before air conditioning was prevalent, you'd use these box fans, placed in the window, to circulate air to provide a more comfortable environment.

In years past, the fans were beefier than the current generation. They also used metal fins. Speaking into one made a vaguely similar effect to speaking Like Darth Vader. It was entertaining as a child.

These might not be specific to Stripe.

South Dakota for personal use. Delaware for corporate. Nevada for secrecy.

I would make a chart of what features you desire then fill it in with information from the possible states.

I checked out the top level pages. Looks slick. Congrats!

Works great, depending on what you want to do. Running on SBCs or computers with cheap sata cards will greatly reduce the performance. It's been running well for years after I found out the issues regarding SMR drives and the SATA card bottlenecks.

45Drives has a homelab setup if you're looking for a canned solution.

You are an old head. Thankfully, your memory is better than mine.

If you're in the market for an Elasticsearch dashboard, I've had luck with Cerebro is its forks.

Looks like the vendor went all in on "AI" translation. "Air Screwdriver" is the description of a product image.

IIRC, it's editing the config file to tell Frigate top use the Coral.

I've used them for Frigate as well and agree that they are amazing.

Ease of maintenance, as Tomte mentioned.When you have multiple configurations for different sites, it is simpler to isolate the specifics to each site to their own files.

If you're just standing up a single, simple site with Apache, it can be 'easier' to do so with the basic config. Once you get into production environments, the Debian framework is something to be thankful for.

One can be happy for the devs and founders but also lament the loss of a great product.
