Yeah, I’m unaware how loud I’m being when gaming on voice chat, this would be nice if it were a lower price
- Comment on Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth 1 year ago:
The Mitsubishi Hyper heat can work down to -13F, The absolutely best resource I’ve found for heat pump research is the NEEP database which will you give you actual BTU outputs at various ambient temperature readings: ashp.neep.org/#!/product_list/ Also worth considering a geothermal heat pump depending on your geography, as then you have a guarantee of efficiency all year round
- Comment on Their kids died after buying drugs on Snapchat. Now the parents are suing 1 year ago:
I am conflicted on this one. On one hand, yeah they’re just a platform, and realistically these kids would just go to another messaging service instead, but it also feels like they’re asleep at the wheel when it comes to investigating user reports of abuse. It’s sort of an all social media thing, because I’ve reported posts selling drugs on FB marketplace too and they ignored them after review. They quote one of the families in the article reporting a drug dealers account and Snapchat taking no action for months. I’d be willing to bet moderation is an afterthought and likely understaffed for the sheer volume of content on the app.
- Comment on good alternatives to raspberry pi which are cheap and efficient? 1 year ago:
Compact business desktops like others have mentioned are great. Depending on your needs, I also like using older or used laptops. They’re still power efficient if you get a recent processor model, people sell them for fairly cheap used, and sometimes having an attached keyboard and display is more convenient than having to hook up a crash cart
- Comment on Mozilla Foundation - Tell Amazon to Fix this Big Security Flaw in Ring Doorbells 1 year ago:
Ring and Blink are designed differently and run different hardware. However, I would guess that some Blink devices have the same issue. I might be wrong but I think all 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is vulnerable to deauth

I wonder what the takeaway was? They successfully designed processors with the m1 & bionic chips, so super curious what blocked them here. Are modems harder to design than processors? Maybe it’s the RF part?
- Comment on Wisest Upgrade from Raspberry Pi 1 year ago:
Makes sense. I think you’d be fine with pretty much any modern(post DDR4) motherboard/CPU combo these days. I feel Linux hardware support is only really shakey if you’re using a SoC without upstream patches or if you’re using brand new hardware/laptops. With that being said if you’re running a lot of containers on one host have you looked into docker compose or kubernetes? Maybe k8s is overkill for home use, but I think both offer support to restart containers if a health check fails. With k8s you also can spread out containers across multiple physical node, so you could just add a second RPI and “double” your resources.
- Comment on Wisest Upgrade from Raspberry Pi 1 year ago:
For $350-500 you could easily get a used desktop and processor with 16-32 gb ddr4. But it sort of depends on your home lab goals and workloads. Do you need a lot of storage? Are you CPU bound or memory bound? Some people will suggest used Dell/HP servers, and they’ll look affordable, but keep in mind enterprise gear will eat power and is usually loud. Personally I’d go for a used AMD 5800 or 5900 processor and mobo, install your favorite Linux, and call it a day. AMD processors don’t have quick sync which makes them slightly worse for plex hosting but better for everything else.

Yeah you’re good, I think it’s the sugar and corn syrup in soda that makes them not hydrating while seltzer still is
