What vendors make good dumb TVs or big monitors?
  • I have a 43-inch Insignia N10 that works great in exactly that role. Dumb TV with HDMI inputs, audio outputs, and that's about it. Best Buy's in-house brand, it was like 120 bucks about a year ago, when my Vizio TV from 2003 finally died in a way I couldn't fix :(

    The built-in speakers aren't great, definitely recommend hooking it up to something else.

  • Can you scale down a firearm to make an identical looking firearm that fires a different round?
  • More changes would be needed than direct uniform scaling - .22lr is rimfire, whereas .45acp is centerfire, for example, and their aspect ratios are different. The mass and strength of uniformly scaled-down parts also might not match the recoil and pressure provided by the smaller round, and might result in failure to reliably cycle the action or the gun bursting if the mismatch is too much.

  • Is "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy considered a good book? Because I read it, and I'm not sure it should be.
  • The thing I remember most about this book is the heroic American Mary Sue rescuing an Icelandic damsel in distress from a traumatic sexual assault by Soviet soldiers, and then immediately afterwards she falls in love with him and they have sex in a hot spring or something. Standard conservative male military-nerd wish-fulfillment pulp fantasy written by a guy whose main protagonists are all thinly-veiled self-insertions.

    That said, as a fellow nerd, I love it when Clancy tells me all the little details about a submarine, and it's a fun read. But I wouldn't call it good.

  • No NAT November
    1. sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.disable_ipv4=1
    2. sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0
    3. for link in $(ls /sys/class/net); do ip -6 addr add $(openssl rand -hex 2):$(openssl rand -hex 2):$(openssl rand -hex 2):$(openssl rand -hex 2):$(openssl rand -hex 2):$(openssl rand -hex 2):$(openssl rand -hex 2):$(openssl rand -hex 2)/128 dev $link; done

    Everything should work perfectly forever right out of the box with the above setup.
