elheffe80··on The Apple Watch heart monitor sends too many people to the doctor
Sent me to the doctor, had surgery a few weeks later. Too many is OK IMO.
elheffe80··on Xen Project officially ports its hypervisor to Raspberry Pi 4
> My homelab is Kubernetes running on Raspberry Pi 4

Honest question- do you just run one RPi4 or do you have multiple? Either way- how much ram do you have and do you find you use it all/wish you had more?

elheffe80··on ESP32 based old clock controller, with NTP sync
> at the top of the hour it will fairly quickly "sweep" to the correct position.

THATS why the clocks at school did that when I was a kid. I always thought they did it to mess with us (why is the minute hand taaaaaaaking so long??). Regardless of the veracity of my statement- good info, thanks.

elheffe80··on It Took Divorce to Make My Marriage Equal
Same concept, different sexes. I’m the husband, and marriage was not equal. I was a second class citizen in our house, and now I won’t be.
elheffe80··on Oracle Wins Bid for TikTok in U.S.
No one thinks this has to do with the relationship between the US President and Oracle? Amazon is throwing a fit because they weren’t chosen to be the Pentagons cloud provider. Now this. It’s favoritism.
elheffe80··on Amazon Echo Loop
Sleep tracking is the only thing I can think of that would be usefull.
elheffe80··on Amazon Echo Loop
This is one of the saddest things I have ever seen.

Awesome! Thanks for the write up and good info.
elheffe80··on AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 32-core CPU is more bad news for Intel
But what processor is best for Dwarf Fortress?
elheffe80··on The Blu-Ray Reauthoring Project
My son, 11, just asked me "What's a blu-ray?" Need I say more?
elheffe80··on His Body Was Behind the Wheel for a Week Before It Was Discovered
THIS!! Community is what keeps people alive. Mentally, physically, emotionally, and what-ever-else-ally. Even hanging out with a younger crowd is beneficial to you.
elheffe80··on Snap, Flatpak and AppImage, package formats compared
I couldn't make it past the third paragraph. So poorly written that it literally made me mad.
elheffe80··on A Great Old Timey Game Programming Hack (2013)
Thanks for that! I love HN discussions, they add so much to the article linked. These will too!!
elheffe80··on Trump Just Signed a Law That Changes Life Aboard Airlines
Space force! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AUXpnB065o
elheffe80··on Trump Just Signed a Law That Changes Life Aboard Airlines
Umm.. no one is commenting on the Office of Spaceports?? This is really freaking awesome! I hope that they get it right. The spaceport in New Mexico is a great idea, I just hope things like this get more growth as we commercialize and exploit the vast resources in space.
elheffe80··on Solid – Reshape the web as we know it
Thank you so much! I was wondering wtf this was about. Much clearer on the w3 site.
elheffe80··on Bay Area cities are cracking down on free food at tech companies
If it were my company- everything would be $0.01, thus not free. Stupid rule.
elheffe80··on Hacking a $30 IoT camera to do more than it’s worth
Thank you! I had no idea OpenIPC was out there! Going to be upgrading all my Wyze cameras tonight! This is amazing and EXACTLY what I wanted from Wyze!!!!
elheffe80··on Show HN: Airmash – Multiplayer Missile Warfare HTML5 Game
Damn you. This is amazing.
elheffe80··on Google Is Blocking YouTube on Amazon's Echo Show and Fire TV
So now the most open way to watch content is to get an expensive ass AppleTV? Dammit.
elheffe80··on Don't Buy Anyone an Echo
As a partially disabled veteran, screw that. Getting up to turn off the lights can be challenging. Also, being able to turn off the TV, AppleTV, speakers, SteamLink, and other appliances for the entertainment center with a phrase saves not only electricity, but is really convenient when the kids are being little shits. With home assistant running on a pi locally, I can automate the ever loving shit out of my house. All those dangerous hue lights turn off slowly late at night and on around sundown. The cool porch lights for the holidays are turned off through zwave, probably a disastrous protocol that should be avoided because it can be controlled by hackers through SDR and Pringle cantennas /s. I get that there are security implications, but the ability to have things be automated has saved me the painful experience of moving to turn off a light when we wanted to watch a movie. Someday I’ll own my own home, then even the wall switches will be zwave!! 🧐🧐
elheffe80··on A Response to Your Petition on Edward Snowden
> > Mr. Snowden's dangerous decision to steal and disclose classified information had severe consequences for the security of our country and the people who work day in and day out to protect it.

> Has it? Has it really? Where's the proof of this?

While not a general decline in the companies values, or stock, there has been an international backlash against US Tech companies[1, 2]. To say that these companies don't provide for the security, financially, of our country is a crock of shit. As for how the people that protect our country and work day in and day out to protect it being affected- you really thing the CIA is going to post about how their personnel got caught, or detained, or anything at all? No. You won't. Granted, a lack of proof is not proof itself, but open your eyes a bit and think about it. Snowden revealed all sorts of information that he should not have.

> Hmm yes. All those civil libereties groups, charities, foreign businesses and allied politicians you spied on sure are dangerous. Got to keep them in check lest they attack America with their ball-point pens!

Keep your enemies close and your friends closer. Everything but the allies I agree with you on, but I don't think there is anything wrong with keeping tabs on the policies of allied countries.

elheffe80··on The SSD Endurance Experiment: Casualties on the way to a petabyte
I wonder if spin rite could fix them... heh
elheffe80··on What Happens When You Drop A Magnet Inside A Copper Tube [video]
All I could think of was the cost of that copper tube. Wow that is thick.
elheffe80··on President Obama calls on every American to learn code
diff -r dir1/ dir2/

edit: I did not know this- I just posted it because it is but one answer. For what it is worth, I agree with you- basic knowledge of programming is something everyone should know.

elheffe80··on ThingCharger: A new charger for all your things
Meh, I charge my devices when I drive or when I sleep. The plugs near my bed are by the floor, so I need the cable to keep the phone on my bed. The iPad is in a Griffin Milspec case and wouldn't work with this- cord it is. Nice idea, but wouldn't work for my family.
elheffe80··on Ask HN: Best current model routers for OpenWRT, DD-WRT, Tomato, etc.?
I am a bit surprised I only caught one mention of the Buffalo N600. I know it doesn't have AC, but it runs DD-WRT for all that I need and has full gigabit ports on the switch.
elheffe80··on Ask HN: MacBook Air alternative for running GNU/Linux
Honestly, is there a viable alternative that is cost equivalent?
