Not really, they’ve all had telemetry for probably 20 years.

The cars with satellite radio are even worse (which isn’t saying much, since they put modems in cars about 20 years ago)

Jeep/Chrysler have always been banned from my life.

Garbage. Worse than any other American car company. They even managed to screw up cars made for them by Mitsubishi.

Which is why adding Tailscale to this KVM is a killer solution

Excellent, thanks for the link!

I like your thoughts on runtime and recharge time.

That four hour limit really outs things into perspective for someone just starting out. Most people don’t understand the constraints at first.

I believe mailbox.org is all renewable, and I’m pretty sure it’s solar.

But you need a massive battery bank to run stuff, batteries have a limited lifespan (especially the crap used in a UPS).

It’s not cheap, you generally want to overbuild everything, and there are ongoing costs (hardware failures, batteries, etc).

But it can be done. Just have to do the math for your max power draw, then how much uptime you need determines the size of your battery bank and number of panels (which is influenced by how much sun you get/how consistent it is). You need enough panels to run your system and charge batteries, given the limitations of sun availability.

More than a third of 15-year-old girls in the UK have been drunk at least twice, compared with less than a quarter of boys the same age

How was the study done? Is there an angle where girls are more likely to admit this/click on a button than boys? (Yes, studies should account for this kind of thing, but we know what “should” means).

Interesting either way.

Perfect expression of “hey, dumbass, stop taking photos and do your damn job to get me out of this thing”

Hahaha, awesome.

That’s fucked up

Wow, install Tailscale or Wireguard and you’ve got a killer remote support solution.

Weird people would downvote this. I usually don’t care (still don’t, lol) but someone downvoted the idea of installing a mesh VPN on this KVM, yet it’s already been done.

You could learn from this person, since all your other responses are adversarial.

True.

But one thing you control, the other you don’t.

It’s why you hire someone else to do it, like a network consultancy.

Yep.

But I admit I’m one of them, though I also recognize it’s not an easy thing to do well. Whenever something like this comes up for a vote in my area, it really takes me a while to figure out the pros/cons, long-term implications, who benefits, etc.

Immodium/Limodil is your friend.

Lol, I’ll give you the upvote for the entertainment!

Plus the final mile from the rail to destination.

Lol, OK, I’ll give you that phrase at least.

But I disagree that vanilla is any kind of simple or plain. It makes chocolate more chocolatey. It adds complexity and depth wherever it goes.

I really do prefer it over chocolate.

I’ve never met anyone in tech who’s pronounced it any way other than “sequel”, and some of those folks were DB admins since the 80’s.

You win. All the upvotes.
