You can/could also find Coffee HOWTO in your distro’s HOWTO package. (I found a reference back to v0.5 of the document in 1998.)
Has simple schematics to get you started for the hardware, using the parallel port to toggle relays.
It’s a very neat little document, and inspired me to write a simple kernel module so I could echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/whatever/coffee0 to turn pin 0 high on the parallel port. (This is silly, and it’s much easier to just do things in user space!)
…and regular old murder for ReiserFS.
Not sure what it is about filesystem maintainers…
Never done meshtastic, but I do a little amateur radio. For a high gain antenna, do you just experiment with where it’s pointing, or do you point towards something in particular?
To those asking “who celebrated”…Linux was not always well supported by Flash. The promise of HTML5, with first class Linux support, was very appealing.

I brought this up to my ex over the course of our usual conversations

If we are weeks away from never being able to meet again

I’m really really glad that I get root on my work computer.
“…I really don’t want to have to wipe the thing because it’s running a headless OS”
I feel like logging in as root on a headless system and hoping you type the command(s) to restore functionality is a rite of passage.
After reading a few of these I feel like I was either a very boring grad student, or my professors were all very chill. (Or maybe just subject to male privilege.)
A few run-ins with IT, but I don’t think I ever got nasty letters from professors…
Does you school library lend out laptops for this sort of thing? Or, can you remote into a library/lab computer for this?
I would definitely opt for a dedicated machine, running the recommended OS, no VM, as others in this thread have said. It’s one thing if it’s for a homelab, but for coursework…not what I’d be comfortable with.
High frequency is generally bad for transmission line losses, so getting power from A to B is better at lower frequency — DC is a great option here.
If we switched to DC, many things would still flicker though as they would presumably use switching power supplies, but those could be relatively high frequency like you said.
Interestingly, airplanes use 400Hz, as transmission over distance doesn’t matter, and transformers can be made much smaller/lighter.
Sounds like we’re going to find out who the real “don’t mess with Texas” folks are vs. who are the posers.
Never tried it, but hot peppers can be added to birdseed to prevent this — birds aren’t sensitive to capsaicin, so it only affects the mammals.
Gnarly PDEs aren’t exactly the same beast as differentiating single variable polynomials.
Sounds like this was basically the plot of the first Nolan Batman.
Lots of local-only options out there for security cameras. Doorbell cameras may be a little harder to find, but it looks like they exist.
I have a few Amcrest PoE bullet cameras, and they work great local-only. They’re on a separate VLAN, only my server can talk to them, and I have had zero problems with them. They even support NTP, which my router provides, so the clocks stay synced with no intervention. I’m running them with Frigate.
Obviously you should use an exponential search, assuming you don’t know the age of the oldest human.
Torvalds uses it too I believe, so you’re in good company (Debian for me, though my heart belongs to Slackware).
I’m not sure they’ve had bugs as severe as CVE-2023-4863 though?
For those who want AWD, range will be somewhat reduced.
