- Comment on Server as heating device - how do I do this? 1 month ago:
I miss the GPU mining days from long ago. Used to have a five old computers with potato GPUs on a time switch to do just this or folding at home as a fun experiment many years ago. It kinda worked in the earliest days but asics killed the income offset after a few months.
The old Core 2 Quad Dell with three dvb-t tuners and a few hard drives still dumps a fair bit of heat into the room.

Hehe. I won’t even get on a plane. If she can’t go with me, I’m not going.

I think I prefer that my dog dies before I do. Being a King Charles spaniel it’ll probably just sit by my rotting corpse until it dies from hunger.
- Comment on Independent auditors confirm top VPN doesn't log your data 2 months ago:
Possibly, or they have multiple entry points on residential ISP blocks and don’t have too many people NAT’d per IP so it looks legit. That would explain the higher costs.
- Comment on Independent auditors confirm top VPN doesn't log your data 2 months ago:
I’m on Express VPN only because they apparently specialise in avoiding geoblocks and VPN detection for overseas TV sites etc. (Plus three months free for being a TWiT.) So far it’s true for BBC iPlayer, RTe Player and UK Channel 4. For this purpose I’m not overly worried about how log-resistant they are, but interesting to keep up with the score here.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 2 months ago:
Except for the task manager. Windows 8 to Windows 10 had a good one.

Does this have any implications for Rustdesk? I suspect not, but not 100% sure.

Nice that they’re reusing land that was previously a coal mine, not farm land.
- Comment on What web services do you subscribe to? 2 months ago:
Express VPN for foreign free to air TV, ad blocking on multiple devices. 200gb Google Cloud storage. Vultr VPN for Wireguard.

Would the Rockbox firmware be an improvement?
- Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads 2 months ago:
I’m still running an older version of NextPVR with three usb tuners and Comskip.exe - it gets most of the ads out of free to air automatically.
Ublock origin and / or expressvpn seem to block some ads on the catch up services, but not all.
YouTube with Ublock origin and Sponsorblock work well.
Newpipe Sponsorblock fork is good as well.

I guess I’m the odd one out. I quite enjoy my Arlec / grid connect stuff for simple things that could be done with wires, timers and the like.
Tasks include: Controlling the aircon and a basic heater with Universal IR. Running ventilation fans to force air through the house when the missus opens a door for a smoke. Letting the goats out on schedule when they were young. Enabling different banks of batteries to run or charge for the inverter circuit by schedule or sunlight amount. Monitor power usage on the chargers and output to the inverter circuit. Charge the battery mower to 80% only, roughly. Charge my phone to 80% only, roughly. Power up the office lighting / TV / monitors / amp etc when I enter, off when I leave. Keep my dog cool at night but not too cold. (fan control)
Granted I’m not looking forward to the day that grid connect dies, but I belive I can convert to Tuya locally hosted if that happens.
None of these need a subscription.
Likewise my outdoor Reolink camera has free cloud storage but only if you renew it every month, which is a pain.

Also handy on horrible cheap raised hex bolts when they get stripped. Dremel a slot and you’re done.

I believe women sometimes use them to aid in the release of gender fluid.

Paint it with mouth wash now and then.
And let it breathe.
Might not be the best way, just a low effort way.
