ragingroosevelt··on Many lung cancers are now in nonsmokers
My understanding is that a radon reading of 2 is the upper bound for reasonable regular exposure. If you're seeing above that, I'd be inclined to look into mitigation.
ragingroosevelt··on ESP32-Faikin: ESP32 based module to control Daikin aircon units
There's an esphome config for them and esphome let's you set a password. I believe it supports encryption but I can't remember.

The faikins are really awesome. I have mine set up in Home Assistant and I have automations for them to do stuff to turn off if the outdoor and indoor temps are both pleasant. I also have it set up to turn off if any of my windows or exterior doors are left open for more than five minutes. But you can program them to do so much. The stock firmware does mqtt so it's quite versatile.

ragingroosevelt··on Abundance isn't going to happen unless politicians are scared of the status quo
I live in Portland and own my house. I'd love to put in an ADU and rent to some of my friends but it's pretty expensive and I can't afford it.
ragingroosevelt··on Docker limits unauthenticated pulls to 10/HR/IP from Docker Hub, from March 1
Why are you not using a registry mirror/cache (eg jfrog artifactory, etc)? Own your supply chain.
ragingroosevelt··on Bambu Connect's Authentication X.509 Certificate and Private Key Extracted
What are you comparing to?

The X1 + AMS is pretty price comperable to the Core One + MMU, and is pretty feature-matched.

ragingroosevelt··on Books I Loved Reading in 2024
If you like Murderbot, you'd probably also like Bobiverse.
ragingroosevelt··on uBlock Origin GPL code being stolen by team behind honey browser extension
Honey actually hides the best deals from you at the site's request. You'd be better off finding the codes yourself.
ragingroosevelt··on CT Scans of New vs. Used SawStop
I think you're probably right.

I have an older Delta table saw and recently decided to sell it because a miter saw + track saw + some other tools you need anyhow does nearly everything a table saw would do, but uses space way more efficiently.

ragingroosevelt··on The new climate math on hurricanes
Personally I usually blame the puppeteer more than the puppet.
ragingroosevelt··on After the Deluge: Appalachia's "Climate Haven" Myth Unravels
For the PNW, "really hot" has recently meant more days than usual in the 90s, and a week or two at, like, 100 or 105.
ragingroosevelt··on Nearly all of the Google images results for "baby peacock" are AI generated
I think what comes next is interest-based, influencer-moderated, semi-private chat rooms. For example a lot of hobby youtuber have moderated discord servers. My diy 3d printing communities have discord servers. I have a few invite-only discord servers for various circles of friends and family.
ragingroosevelt··on Diesel shop fined $10M for making and selling Emissions Defeat Devices
I work at a b2b diesel vehicle oem and our vehicles routinely do in excess of 130k miles per year. The first owners usually keep them for 3-5 years before selling them. They don't, generally, require rebuilds for the first few owners.

If you're experiencing that sort of issue, it is not specifically because of the emissions devices. It's because of poor design or cheap parts.

ragingroosevelt··on The first release candidate of FreeCAD 1.0 is out
Not freecad related, but if you like programmatic cad like openscad, you may like cadquery even more. A lot of operations are way more natural and you can export step, not just stl.
ragingroosevelt··on Your Immune System Is Not a Muscle
[citation needed]

You say the article isn't fully truthful. Where are your sources to back up your claims? What are your credentials? Or are you just pulling it out of thin air?

ragingroosevelt··on I Got a Sleep Study in My 30s. It Probably Saved My Life
Sedentary lifestyles seems pretty likely. A lot of people in this thread are talking about how exercise is something that seemed to help or that their doc suggested.
ragingroosevelt··on Electric chainsaws and the gorge of misery
I have a friend who is on the grounds crew at an urban university who has a few handfuls of Stihl models at work and close to as many at home. The only one I've ever seen him use is the electric one.

I'm not a chainsaw guy myself, but it was quite nice to use when I've borrowed it.

ragingroosevelt··on Initial details about why CrowdStrike's CSAgent.sys crashed
Isn't it common for TOCs to not apply in cases of negligence? It seems possible that's the direction that lawsuits could go?
ragingroosevelt··on Tesla shareholders approved $56B package for Musk while Tesla laid of 10k people
Freightliner has their eCascadia in regular production and has sold more of them than Tesla had made of their semi.
ragingroosevelt··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2024)
I love that job page! It's very clear the sort of person you're looking for and your recruitment process seems very respectful of the candidate's time.
ragingroosevelt··on YouTube stops working for millions as war against ad blockers intensifies
I paid for the family plan of YouTube Premium + Google Play Music up until Google decided they'd rather use the vastly inferior YouTube Music. NewPipe + GreyJay + Ublock Origin + Patreon seems like a reasonable compromise to Google's customer hostility.
ragingroosevelt··on Ask HN: What would you spend your time working on if you didn't need money?
I've really been enjoying designing and 3d printing crochet tools for my partner and releasing them for free on printables.
ragingroosevelt··on US EPA sets health advisory limits for PFAS from 70 ppt to .02 ppt (2022)
Isn't the mechanism by which a bunch of carcinogens work by also non-reactive? Like asbestos is carcinogenic due to size and shape, not chemical composition, right?
ragingroosevelt··on Xash3D: An open-source reimplementation of Half-Life
Gotta say, being passive aggressive is a bad look (or should I say bad tone). It's how children and socialy maladjusted people communicate.
ragingroosevelt··on Touch Bar Discontinued on New MacBooks After Seven Years
Or they could just make a better cable like every other cable manufacturer has done.
ragingroosevelt··on Climate change: Six young people take 32 countries to court
The "earth has been hotter" take seems a bit silly. Sure it's true. But do you want to live somewhere with an average summer temperature of 100F instead of 80F or 90F? Or more extreme.

Sure, the earth and life in general will survive global warming. But humans have a good chance of not.

ragingroosevelt··on Covid is back on the rise across America
Warm weather gets people hanging out together more
ragingroosevelt··on “Sadly, I Think Godot Is a Scam. I'm Not Sure I Can Do This.”
I haven't looked for a exhaustive list, personally. But off the top of my head I've been really enjoying Dome Keeper. And a friend of mine is almost to the point of having a gold build of Doomsday Paradise that's coming out this fall.
ragingroosevelt··on Ask HN: Where have you found community outside of work?
Crafting clubs. In particular, I found a spoon carving (green wood working) club that was astoundingly welcoming. Attendance is pretty even between men and women and across ages. Pretty diverse ethnically, too.

My wife and I go every month and people started inviting us to post-event activities. We know most of the regulars by name and even people I don't know recognize us. It's super casual and everyone is just there to enjoy the outdoors while they work on their projects.

ragingroosevelt··on My daughter's school took over my personal Microsoft account
A perfect use for Firefox container tabs!

It's the only way I can keep my personal, work, and alma mater email separate and not falling into login loops.

ragingroosevelt··on GitHub staff are required to use Teams by Sep 1, 2023
Sample size of 1, but...

In my personal life, I got all my friends on Discord and we've been really happy with that. It's screen sharing seems tuned for video games, though, and sucks for sharing non-game applications. We all set up Teams accounts because it does so much better with screen sharing.

I haven't tried Slack recently but I really disliked that I needed a different account on each server and the UI didn't seem to unify the servers together in a convenient way like discord does. I'm pretty sure this is for enterprise support reasons and that it is by design, but it's still annoying for use when I'm just trying to talk to all of my circles of friends in one place.

At work we use Teams and I have zero complaints so far. We've been using it since either 2019 or 2020. It's so much better than Zoom + Mattermost or, before that Skype for Business / Lync. shudder
