I did this when out with a friend the other night. It was a neat party trick so they could stay in touch with their sister. First time I’ve used it in years of having the phone.
Mine is already water resistant up to a couple feet. No case needed for a coaster.
It would be tempting to have a QR code or nfc tag to stick on appliances that goes direct to a manual on a self hosted service. Would be nice so it’s always easy to get to and specific to the device.
If they are banning books, can we get the Bible banned?
A lot of those are very dependent on which tech is in the key fob. They can easily copy old hid prox which just broadcast the UUID of the fob, but struggle with newer tech that does a challenge and response.
If your car is old enough to have a tape deck, they have cassettes that connect via Bluetooth. Just about perfect sound quality since there is no interference.
Yet somehow I still love Married with Children.
They have an app and they do connect up to it. But they can be put on a vlan and null routed to only work locally.
You could have shitty routers. I use unifi access points, make sure I set the channels so I don’t have a lot of interference with any nearby wireless networks, and I should be able to handle a few hundred devices at once. You could also have a small DHCP scope that limits the number of devices on the whole network.
Most power line adaptors say to keep it on the same circuit. The one I have is running a small VoIP phone and I don’t have issues with call quality.
They don’t have a lot of traffic. I have over 40 kasa devices between switches, outlets, and bulbs with no issues.
I like zooz 5 button scene controllers. They are z-wave.
I also like kasa’s switches. They are wifi, but being on mains powered I’m not concerned with wifi draining batteries and I have them in a vlan with minimal access.
$10-15 will get you an outlet tester at just about every home improvement store. You plug it in and the three big LEDs light up and you compare it with the sticker on the device. Get one with a GFCI tester built in, when you press the button it will short to ground and if your receptacle has GFCI protection or is on a GFCI protected circuit should trip the GFCI protection.
Jalapeno rings at del taco.
Sliced jalapeno, breaded and fried. Served with a ranch-esqe sauce.
Simple and so fucking delicious.
I work IT for my day job managing a datacenter and cloud infrastructure.
I host mostly Plex, home assistant, and immich. Immich has its data backed up, I don’t care about Plex data. If it all dies, so be it.
I have a server coloed that houses some websites and email, plus some random other things I’ve setup and tested. It’s got backups, and downtime is fine.
If my self hosted stuff dies, it doesn’t matter. Nothing in my life ultimately relies on it.
Mk2 is my favorite. My dad had one when I was growing up. My brother then had a mr-s until he totaled it. Now I’ve got a MR-S as well. I love the car. A little under powered at times, but I almost never have the top up. In the mk2, I’d probably have the t-tops off the whole time as well.
Honestly, worth it. The cars are so much fun.

What? Are you saying you dad and all his friends used to use muzzle loaders before the ar-15? We’ve had bolt action at least since WW1 and semi-automatics have been common since WW2. There is no way you dad and his friends had muzzle loaders and only changed to AR-15 because of the popular crowd.
Or are you trying to say bolt action, but don’t know firearms? Because most of the old hunting rifles were old military surplus rifles largely made popular by familiarity of those who used similar in military service and the high availability of rifle rounds in common calibers.
Things like the Civilian Marksmanship Program that got old M1 Garands into civilian hands and the ubiquitous amount of 30-06 ammo that was easily accessible to hunters all over the country lead the previous era of gun owners. The current era of vets are familiar with the m4a1, but thats not available to civilians. But the ar-15 is similar so veterans tend to pick up the ar-15.
The ar-15 is also highly module. It can be rechambered in almost any caliber, has many attachments for accessories, can have the barrel, muzzle, and stock changed making it a favorite of anyone that finds a hobby in firearms. If you picked up a complete ar-15, you can change essentially everything but the lower receiver and have it be the “same” gun.
That’s why it’s popular and why so many people have one. Since it’s so popular and so common, it gets used in shootings. Not because of the traits you listed, but because the most dangerous gun is the one the criminal already has.
The problem is that most electric stove tops duty cycles this way. It’s terrible for low temperature applications in something that doesn’t have the mass to retain heat. And something that does have the mass takes a long time to hit those low temps unless you start with longer time on duty cycles. They also suck for precise heat control.
You can’t use a resister anywhere else in the circuit because it would be wildly inefficient that way. The only option might be regulating voltage. But that’s easier said than done.
I don’t think electric is necessarily bad. But it’s choosing the right tool for the job and both should probably be in a range instead of having it be one or the other.
