  • I was an American large T-shirt for most my life but for the last 10 years I have to get a medium. Americans are just getting too fat and companies dont want to upset them.

  • All fair points, assuming you write all your code yourself. But WiFi is still a pig even with optimization, coin cell is impossible which is what he/she asked to use.

  • If you want this to be powered by a coincell battery or any battery you need to figure out a power budget and pick a wireless protocol. WiFi is incredibly power hungry and won't happen with a battery unless you like charging it every few days. If you are willing to make it a powered setup it will open many options otherwise youre stuck with zwave, ZigBee, BLE and LoRA. If you want to mix this project with other fun stuff like LoRa/meshtastic look into these. They snap into a main board and you can add a temp and humidity sensor and collect the data over BLE, add a screen and communicate over LoRa for miles. I can get these to run on a 18650 battery for about 3 weeks.

  • Esp32 will demolish a full sized battery, never mind a coincell.

  • Sigh. 20 years ago. Thanks for that...

  • Greek American's take: from left to right it gets more progressive, pointing out that even progressive Americans are still conservative in Scandinavia.

  • What he is saying is those bags aren't UV stable so the act of the sun beating on them will pollute the field and food with micro-plastics.

  • I feel similarly and to expand a bit its more the fact that second time around electing this fool proves that that majority of Americans are either horrible people or useful idiots which is incredibly depressing to know with certainty. For me, first time around was a fluke, second time is reality. I'm exploring citizenship elsewhere as a backup plan.

  • My daughter always helps me with oil changes. We love it.

  • I saw Coheed open for Thrice and Thursday around this time frame in Worcester, MA in a tiny shit hole. Very fond memories of early Coheed, still love these guys.

  • My install is bare metal, all SSD, redis and php-fpm optimization and I'm extremely happy with the performance. Also use transcoding from an Intel a380 and use Memories for the whole family. Works snappy and flawless. You need to tweak the php settings.

  • "I've amassed all this wealth and now that I'm retiring I no longer want to fund the system responsible for my success. Also, fuck welfare. But not Medicare. Dont you care touch my Medicare."

  • Rabbits are popular in Greece for this reason. My grandmother always made Stifado with rabbit. Its wonderful.

  • This is brilliant. I could use this with a grow lights grow micro greens all winter long in my basement. Just tall enough for baby kale. I love how its clear on all sides.

  • Endured 9 years of Catholic schools. By grade 6th I realized everyone was full of shit and contradicted themselves regularly. Stopped believing in god and the only person I could trust in myself. Thanks for the hard knocks you Catholic nut jobs.

  • Everyone is over thinking the hell out of this. Almost all thermostats use a cheap NTC resistor, just change the resistance so the hardware thinks its at the whacky temperature. Or you could figure out the bias voltage the system uses through the NTC then apply your own external voltage to trick the system.

  • I bailed on rocketchat a few years ago for Mattermost and never looked back. Rocketchats update cycle was insane, sometimes two releases in a week but often several a month. A few pdates required full database dumps and manual tweaking. It just wasn't for me.

  • Why can't I prep all the things? I have bullets, beans and bytes, oh my.

  • My previous primary server used to be a 12 year old laptop with an SSD. I deployed a laptop server in rural Greece and its bulletproof, it VPNs back home to the US and works during short power outtages. Only caveat is the CPU fan, if you run the server with a high load the fans are not designed for years of high usage. I got crazy enough with one server where I cut the bottom out and mounted a large aluminum plate to the CPU heatsink and made it passively cooled.
