Good, it should be banned or restricted to 18+ everywhere until they start moderating appropriately. It's absolutely not suitable for children.

Use SSH. Ether open a port in the firewall or connect it to a VPN. If the backups are done on a schedule, you could also setup a cron job on the Pi to send the WoL packet a few minutes ahead of time.

You could use a very low power computer that's always on like a Raspberry PI Zero W to send the WoL packet to the backup computer. It only uses about 1 watt. Some routers have the ability to send a WoL packet as well.

Like the SCR-536? It uses 5 valves.

It would be nice to have a dedicated block of IPv6 addresses for ham radio, but why a /16? That's 4 billion /48 networks.

I'm surprised they don't have torrent downloads for it. That would save on bandwidth costs and it's more reliable since torrent clients verify the checksum and automatically redownload any corrupted blocks.

There are plenty of good FOSS text editors out there. I certainly don't want to use one that was barfed up by an AI.

Small pieces of filament are good for a 3D pen if you have one. Splicing filament isn't really worth the effort just to use up such a small amount of filament.

Nice, it has twice as many failure points as previous folding phones.

I bought 32GB of DDR4-3200 this summer for USD $50. Now it's $150. Even used memory is around $100.

It's not possible to overwrite data on flash memory. The entire block of flash has to be erased before anything can be written to it. Having the SSD controller automatically erase unused blocks improves the write speed quite a bit.

 

I picked this little scope up from the Seapac swap meet a week and a half ago for $3. It turns out that all it needed was some contact cleaner to get it working again.

This is a portable scope that can run from 12V DC as well as an internal battery. I don't have the battery for it, but I could probably put some 18650's in there if I disable the built in charger.
