Don't like discourse. The others are kind of ok, I think. Xenforo is what the big forums are mostly using, I think. I like Vanilla for small boards but the moderation tools are sort of flaky. I …

I'd like for it to be scalable, and easy to search (all the bikes by a given owner's phone, email or name).

Thanked by (1)bikegremlin
If the part about the bike owner viewing the page is optional, i.e. if it's ok for you to be the only user, then why have it online at all? Just have it on your local computer.

If the…

i will probbaly get some (I've been using the rp2040 version) but from my perspective the upgrades mostly aren't that important. the rp2040 is already quite overpowered for a microcontroller. The n…

At least in the US, GSM and 3G are both pretty near dead. It's LTE or 5G now. This "colo" notion sounds close to scamming-as-a-service if you're trying to do it at scale. For a one-off, it's easy …

Ublock origin still working fine on yt for me. Also newpipe and yt-dlp still work.

"Ping" originally referred to a sonar ping. You'd check whether something was near you underwater by sending a sonar pulse and listening for the reflection. The similar networking concept was named…

Don't forget the ESP32C3 which is on little IOT boards for under $5.

I got that email too, but couldn't understand how it is supposed to work. Is @Hetzner_OL around much these days? There is also a discussion thread on Hacker News. Things I'd be interested to know:…

Moto G Play is $100 new unlocked and comes with Android 12. I don't know of anything better in terms of hardware at that price. But, there is not official LineageOS support (yet), and Moto is not s…

Thanked by (3)huginn charleenk bikegremlin
Shouldn't we know better than "lifetime" deals for something like this? Hetzner Storagebox is around 2€/TB/mo so this pCloud at the 2TB level is like 70 months (~ 6 years) and the 10TB level is almo…

Lol it never stops. Hopefully everyone here stopped using those products years ago.

Woah Nelly. That is pretty similar to a system that cost $50K-ish a few years ago with 1TB of ram, that was used to compute 7 man chess endgame tablebases. There are some things that can't feasibly…

Solar power collectors, about 0.5 MW peak power from 2500m2, or maybe 125KW average. Put your DC underneath them.

It would be great if it could do 10 digits so it could handle a NANP phone number with area code.

I notice prgmr.com now redirects to tornadovps. No idea when that changed, if it was a name change, acquisition, or what. Also it uses Blesta on the front page now, rather than that cool ascii logo…

Always prefer self-hosting. "apt-get install gitit" is simplest way to have a self-hosted wiki. No database-- it uses git as the version control backend.

I doubt the OOM killer was involved in that crash. I had almost nothing running on the VM when I did the upgrade. Plus, I just did the same upgrade on a similarly configured 384MB VM and it didn't …

PLT is a totally different subject than PL software. The main post-2000 development I know of is homotopy type theory (HoTT). What is that? I don't know either, but there is a book about it at htt…

What does this actually do? Is it a replacement for WHMCS? What language is it written in? Thanks.

I've written a considerable amount of FOSS code. Some as a volunteer, but I got paid for some, so in that sense I've contributed a negative amount of money ;).

I've never gotten 1G between storage box and a Hetzner dedi but I haven't tried recently. Maybe they upgraded Storage Box. Main alternative I know of in anything like that price range is Servarica,…

Thanked by (1)servarica_hani
My 5TB box went up from 10 euro to 11. On the other hand the USD price may be almost the same as before, because the euro/usd exchange rate has gotten lower.

Nice offer except amount of NVMe storage seems a bit low for a VM of this size. Larger allocation would be great even if it is ordinary SSD rather than NVMe.

Finland is kind of useless because there is already Hetzner Cloud there. It's maybe of more interest if it is not in the Hetzner DC. Norway has been useful to me in the past. Idk if it is still …

In principle, it shouldn't be possible to crash a whole VM just because some application runs out of memory. I wonder what is going on.
