I have missed reading Cringely! He has so many great postings over the years.

Cool idea, but I wished they gave more detail in the article

That is too bad, it was actually a nice truck. I used one for a few months and was impressed. It is also pretty quick, I beat a Porsche in it

After reading the article this isn’t too surprising. I am not a professional mechanic but i do some advance mechanic work on my cars and you need a programmer to do so many things any more. On BMW’s for over a decade you need to use a programmer to let the computer know when you replace the 12v battery, so this is not a surprise at all. I will say after owning several EVs, you will never replace your brake pads. Even after 150000 miles the message pads show no wear on my daily commuter car

I came her to this as well. Didn’t let IOT devices talk to answering outside your control!

That is just it, i shouldn’t know the political stance of a CEO\business owner, media personality or celebrity. As soon as they put their politics out they stand a good chance of losing ½ of their followers. Just my thoughts though.

I have been using Open EVSE for years and love them, They have a nicely documented API so i can control them with just about anything.

I came here to say that

Now you get a 10 minute ad for a 2 minute video

Don’t forget Wayland and security into the mix as well. That seems to have caused some of the biggest issues with apps. Don’t get me wrong though, security was desperately needed. X11 had no concept of security.

Have you played with NextCloud

The “allowed host” on the client side is to put the networks in you would like to route to. If you want to use the VPN tunnel for your default route it’s when you use the 0.0.0.0/0

I have been using Proxmox with a couple thousand VM’s and have been very happy with it.
