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.

Immodium/Limodil is your friend.

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

Plus the final mile from the rail to destination.

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

I’m sure large businesses are doing exactly that. It’s one of the first things I thought of - if you and I can think of it, you know Corp is already on it.

By default, the security concerns do massively outweigh the benefits, to me. On my work machine the benefits outweigh the security issues, because it’s tightly locked down.

But if we can figure out how to safely implement such a system with very tight controls, it will be a huge game changer for individuals.

Is this a problem that needs solving?

You’re kidding, right?

MS did some research in the 90’s (related to My Life Bits) and determined how much data a person engaged with during an average day, and even then it was more than anyone could hope to manage.

It’s a Miata

'Nuff said (I’m only slightly jealous). A car that’s undetappreciated by too many gear heads. It’s a modern version of a 1960’s Lotus. Love it
