- Comment on How annoying is it to connect to VPN/use Tailscale instead of being able to access the service directly? 3 weeks ago:
Use Tailscale, for the most part it’s pretty transparent. As long as all the magic DNS stuff is setup correctly, I can access all my internal services by name and it just works.
- Comment on There is no history on the History channel. There's nothing true on TruTV. There's no music on music television. There's no science on the science channel. 2 months ago:
They use to say television rots the brain, but now it’s clear that television just rots.
- Comment on The culinary opposite of ice cream is pepperoni. 2 months ago:
This is a perfectly executed shower thought. No notes.
- Comment on the cyber truck has to be the easiest vehicle to wrap 2 months ago:
That may be, but I doubt many Cybertruck owners would want to make it less clear they own a Cybertruck.

A fellow greendale alum. Streets ahead!

They’re similar. Generally welding is focused on fusing metals of similar makeup (I.e. steel to steel). While It does frequently (but not always) use “filler” but a good weld relies in the actual fusion of the separate metal pieces, basically melting the pieces together. The filler also tends to be similar in composition to the fused metals.
Soldering uses a dissimilar metal to join pieces and it doesn’t fuse the pieces together.
There’s also brazing, which is somewhere in between those two.
But, yea, honestly I generalize it all into a hot glue gun for metal :-P
- Comment on Elon Musk says Tesla is an AI company now. Here’s how plausible that is. 3 months ago:
Makes sense. It sure as shit didn’t have any real intelligence.

I use portainer behind tail scale. Easy management anywhere and no publicly available access.

Yea, we’ve got it so easy today. These kids have no idea :-P
But seriously, I’m sorry that sucks. I happened to be lucky enough with an uncle-in-law’s dad being an EE and just literally gave me a bunch of 6502 development stuff (by that time it was reasonably dated and he had retired). I also got lucky to live in a place where the libraries has tech and programming books that were pretty decent. Had those two things not been there, it would have been a very different story.
I try to pay that forward any way I can by taking part in the local tech/invention/science fair thing. Hopefully to be there to show youngsters how wonderful and interesting tech can be.

Same here! Still have my copy of 6502 software design that I used until it fell apart. Image

The east / west division in the cost of light bulbs.
- Comment on I believe science but I don't understand science. Does that make me religious? 1 year ago:
Personally, I think this is a meaningless question. For me it’s all about utility. I’ve found science to provide utility to me in helping understand and, more importantly, predict the world. I’ve not found the same in religion. I choose paths that provide utility.
