After almost a year of repeated emails stating the transition from Google Domains will have no effect on customers, no action is required; I just got this email:...
Yeah that's exactly what i do. I have an A record that points to my house and i update it every 4 hours from a script on my router. Been really happy with cloudflare, they have a weird restriction about using your own nameservers, but as long as you are happy with theirs then they seem to be great.
I have an old Pi hanging around doing nothing. When I originally got it it had the latest Pi OS with desktop loaded and ran like garbage, not surprisingly. So I messed with it headless for a bit, then found RISCOS as an option in Pi imager utility and that is just a neat OS. Fun to play around with for sure. But now I’m...
They certainly should work at the power level. My utility is ~36% renewable in their power mix right now, but I pay for 100% and that extra money causes them to go out and buy extra renewables for the remaining 64% of my power. I'm not under any illusion that on a cold, still winter night that my power isn't coming from coal base load - but I have high confidence that they really are buying that extra power, and that in turn creates more demand for solar generation.
My employer does something similar, we buy the RECs from something like a third of the output of a local solar farm (under contract) and then also buy dirty power from the utility. That should ultimately wash out.
Though what I can't figure out is how that solar power is actually accounted for when it hits the grid. It's been severed from the renewable energy credits (that we bought) so presumably it must not count as a non-carbon power source when it enters the grid, but I can't find a category for "non-green solar power" on any of the utility reports. Anyone know where it goes?
Also the argument we should be having in the US is whether we reach our climate goals through this kind of carbon-pricing model or the top-down regulatory model. In a sane world we'd probably expect republicans to be arguing for a carbon trading scheme and the democrats to be arguing for regulation.
However that's an all time number, not just the last few months. The biggest single hit I'm aware of was a batch in 2022 that hit a solar storm that engineers thought they could weather.
There's probably some alternate uses for the heat if these things were well designed. There's some building in denver that is near a major sewer and in the winter they use a heat exchanger to extract that energy and use it to heat the building.
I suppose that's very true. But it could be done - if a data center needs megawatts of cooling and is in an area where buildings need to be heated in the winter, then there should be a legal obligation to not just dump that heat.

Realistically they were almost certainly from a list of 69 remedies that spacex proposed to the FAA. I don't think the FAA is coming up with those items on their own.
I’m in the process of designing a home server and am curious how many ethernet ports are required at minimum and how many people recommend.

I've seen it done in data center environments where there are two connections to two different switches - so you can do maintenance on either switch without downtime.
Same reason for having dual power feeds to each machine.
CREW on Wednesday filed a lawsuit seeking to bar Trump from the 2024 ballot in Colorado under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment based on his alleged involvement in Jan. 6
But i'm not sure all of the things in the 14th amendment are necessarily criminal. I can't see how it's be a crime to give comfort to someone like Enrique Tarrio, but doing so disqualifies anyone who's previously taken an oath to uphold the constitution. How would that be enforced?
I look forward to seeing clarence thomas tie himself up in knots over that.
Yeah I understand those terms, but I'm not sure that's exactly what the constitution says. It says "provides comfort to enemies" and that's not exactly the same as aiding. I think ultimately that the states would have to enforce it though because there's no real mechanism for enforcement spelled out in the constitution
It certainly opens a can of worms though, I can see the democrats pushing for 16 (Scotland's done the same and it's further pushed the conservatives out of power there).
It'll also be far easier to fight the GOP proposal in court as there will be people who are actively disenfranchised by raising the age, but it's not clear that existing voters could have standing to sue if we enfranchise younger people.
I run a wireguard service on my Unifi Edgerouter and it works pretty well for that situations. I can also (in theory) send WOL packets from home assistant but i've never tried.
Plus having the government as a customer is very different from receiving subsidies from the government. SpaceX certainly has got some r&d funds from nasa, but on the whole most of their "government funding" comes in the form of contracts that they won on merit.
Tesla's a bit different, but consider that the government intended to spend a bunch of subsidize the rollout of electric cars and I'd argue that they got what they paid for. Had it not been for Tesla moving aggressively into that space I don't think we've have nearly as many viable electric cars at this point. Certainly it's more of a subsidy to it was to achieve a specific policy goal and that's really not quite the same as (for example) when we specifically bail out a company with taxpayer funds because they are at risk of failure.
Cloudflare will do DNS for domain suffixes that they don't support. I've never used Porkbun but as long as you can set custom nameservers then you can point it at CF and use all the tools they support.
One benefit of using Cloudflare DNS is that you can place a CDN on the domain apex. So if you'd like to have https://domain.com instead of https://www.domain.com then they can make that happen.
I have a .ms domain registered with nic.ms but I point the domain name servers at cloudflare and i can manage it in CF with all their features. I do have to pay for it elsewhere but that's a minor inconvenience.
Yeah I've wrestled with that too - I justify it to myself that they are so much smaller than Amazon or Microsoft but they are certainly not a small operation.
I also appreciate their participation in WinterCG and the dream of having interoperable runtime environments for serverless platforms. While I don't think it's quite there yet, I think it's a force for good to have a medium-sized player trying to push the interoperability that Amazon obviously isn't big on.
I have no idea, but hiring someone for a job that has a 1 in 20 chance of killing them seems fundamentally immoral - especially given the massive financial imbalance.
It's certainly a good philosophical question though
I think I take more exception with the uneven make-up of the expedition team. If 4 americans want to form a expedition to summit K2 then I applaud that, all of them are committed to what they are doing and are choosing to take an extreme risk with no coercion. But when half the team makers are living in literal poverty and are only choosing to take the risk because they have few other options, that seems kinda messed up.
Looking at it more, there seems to be an entire field of Risk Ethics associated with this.
Still the most dangerous job in the US is a Commercial Fisherman with a risk of death of 132 per 100,000. That's a very long way from the risk of dying on Everest or K2.
Yes, that's obviously taking the lifetime K2 deaths and dividing by the summit attempts - though actually I get 19% in that situation. However we really dont have enough data to form a good confidence interval there - it's possible we've had a lucky few years or maybe we've got better at deciding when to make the summit attempts.
But it doesn't really change my point. There's some threshold where it seems fundamentally immoral to hire someone for a job that has a good chance of killing them. Mountain porter on k2 or everest is a higher risk job than "astronaut" without the same glory that comes with the space faring job title. Even if the chance of death is 1 in 200, I still think its immoral to take advantage of someone who's so desperate for work that they'll overlook it.

Lots of that stock is made specifically for Rack - there's definitely some returns and end of line product that ends up there, but many of the branded goods at "outlet" stores is specifically designed for that market.
