I will have to give it a shot for the first time in 20 years, I used to enjoy them. I have Starbucks instant coffee and its half decent. Maybe toss it in my Vitamix and see how it goes! Thanks for the nostalgia!

Greek American reporting. Yes its for old people. When I was a kid visiting Greece in the 90s when the locals would still take naps in the afternoon to beat the heat, first thing they would do at 3pm when they woke is drink a frapee and smoke a cigarette. Often at the local cafe chatting with other villagers. Always Nescafe because of hyper aggressive marketing. Those days are gone, hardly anyone still even takes a siesta anymore. Its all very globalized, homogeneous.

The NVR doesnt have to live in the same VLAN if you give it explicit firewall rules to traverse to the tainted camera VLAN for the explicit purpose of fetching the rtsp stream from the cursed cameras. Its how I setup my network. The cameras are islanded, I setup Frigate to be allowed to go in and open that port over TCP. The cameras try to phone home and pull DNS but are ignored, only traffic they’re allowed to product is rtsp to Frigate.

Oh that’s a silly question. Why not?

The honest answer is in the US all doorbells are powered by simple 24VAC transformers that burn 6–7 watts just being powered up, forever, for decades. This annoyed me plus I wanted a fun bell so I wired up a pi to use a modern, efficient 24VDC power supy to ring the bell and it gets turned on by the pi only when its needed so now my idle wattage is more like 0.25W.

Yep, with curl because I have OliveTin setup to accept requests to ring the bell from other pis or myself if I feel the need via the web GUI.

My doorbell is a raspberry pi that uses webhooks to send me messages on my privately hosted chat server and also rings a physical bell built in 1900. Do I win for the most simple high tech doorbell?

Adding to this, in the states the Starbucks instant coffee is shockingly good. Its not the horrible instant our grandparents tolerated. I won’t drink it regularly but in a rush its perfectly acceptable.

Ok sorry its been a busy day but here are the things I ordered and all work:

This one adds two ports, uses the M keyed slot, top right. I do not recommend this one because there is no way to mount the ports. You’ll have to zip tie it like I did. Very sloppy.

This one is what I’d recommend, it will take full use of that 1xPCIe 3.0 lane and fits the A+E slot. The RJ45 will screw nicely into the back of the chassis. FYI this is not EXACTLY what I bought but looks pretty much the same. If you want to use this with pfsense you might consider an Intel based chipset but i used Realtek fine on my setup.

Godspeed!

I’m in a rush but ive put Ethernet cards in both slots of my optiplex 3080 m.2 slots. The top right slot is vanilla and 4xpcie lanes,full speed. The bottom left is A+e keying and only 1x lane which is enough for 2.5gig Ethernet. This is ultimately what i used. For my prfesene box I added a second card, a 2 port Ethernet card to the top right m.2 slot and made it a four port beast.

Its taken me a long time to accept that a huge portion of the American adults simply do not want responsibility or to make decisions. They want to go through life on autopilot and if they can delegate their autonomy to children, they will. AI is pure magic through, they can delegate without judgment, instead receive affirmation. It makes them feel great and it so much easier than being an accountable adult.

I thought that was going to be the outcome of the first presidency, but then they reelected him even after January 6th. He is still a king maker in this mid-term, all my hope is gone. Americans are hopeless.

It was on the very first android phone, HTC dream. I still have mine. Bought it on launch day.

I see no change in my current plan nor have I gotten any emails about any changes to my plan.

If T-Mobile does this I’m gone. SimpleChoice had free international roaming which we use yearly when we visit family. Everyone on my family plan uses it and It was an amazing feature at the time now they charge per month, per line. Been on T-Mobile for 19 years.

For what its worth, despite missing the punchline of the actual measurement, the guy knows what he is talking about. Taking a dB measurement in C weighting over some integration period is how to do it for this scenario. I doubt his meter is calibrated but its doing a good job.

I put up panels last year, made the cut off for the federal rebate. I filed my taxes the first week of February and I’m still waiting for my return. They asked for a few documents back in may that they already had, no one will give me an answer. Theyre holding my money hostage.

Just because they’re doing this to chase money to fund their research doesnt mean it couldn’t potentially make a better cup or coffee at home. I think its a britllant idea where heat makes the coffee bitter, perhaps there’s a magic ratio of heat and ultrasound to make a majestic cup of Joe.

Gesundheit!

Modern CPU and GPUs are the pinnacle of human creation. Each step, from design to build is resting on the foundation of decades of learnings and millions of hours of highly trained and educated individuals. All of this knowledge and talent is guarded. I don’t think you fathom the scale of which you discuss. At best we can play around as aggregated hobbiest and make perhaps a 1980s tech CPU.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
