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.

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.

I think it’s one of those “technically” things, that isn’t useful.

Someone from The Americas is American, technically. That’s how language works.

But I’d venture* that 97.3% of people mean United States when they say “Americans”, or better, it’s what people mean 97.3% of the time. The only time I’ve seen people bring it up is when they’re from a South American country.

So I’d say context and scale of detail/granularity influence the meaning in the moment.

*Totally Made Up Stats

Los Angeles is not in North America

I don’t see a problem with that.

Plus, by tectonic plates, isn’t it America, since N/C/S America are on the same plate, right? (I don’t trust my memory of school from decades ago).

Where was that stated?

I read it as interesting rheirnsalarybwent up when what seems to be a key metric fell, hard.

You’d think this would be a basic usability thing. Just use colors that aren’t a concern for colorblind folks. It’s not hard.

Well, they’re in South America

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

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.

But that’s “regular expressions”, which shortened is rej-ecks. How else would you say it? “Rejects”?

I’m pretty sure we have quite a few meteorites that came from Mars.

Chocolate desserts always have vanilla in them, vanilla never has chocolate in it.

Just think about that for a minute…

I like vanilla, some people like chocolate

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
