The BMC A Series is another exceptionally long lived one. 1951-2000 in original form, and then licenced by Nissan until 2009.

I've deployed Kea in some interesting applications. I quite like its failover options for redundancy purposes.

Definitely has a learning curve for odd devices that "support" DHCP, but I've been happy with how it works, its outputs, and how it can easily be segmented.

Absolutely.

That's one thing that ubiquiti and the like do very well.

Combine that with the openwrt wiki/databases and you can support a LOT of different hardware with different capabilities relatively easily.

That's exactly what we did on the farm.

We've got the Maverick hybird which does 99% of the farm stuff.

And we also have a tow equipped expedition that we use when we need to haul horses or the big trailer. The expedition also comes in handy when we regularly haul 6+ people.

I've had the need for a gooseneck trailer maybe once in the last decade.

Sounds to me like a good way of building a high quality CV model with limited resources.

Its not apparent as an end user if the signal to the lock operator is another human or a well trained model. And at the end of the day, if there is a human checking on it, does it really matter?

Sounds like social engineering without the moral implications of manipulating an actual human.

Nope.

My SUV has the capability of hauling all the people and their stuff I regularly have to while ALSO towing a fully loaded horse or stock trailer.

I skip the missing pickup truck bed by using a trailer (that I can tow with our old car too).

I fully recognize its size and how if I didn't have a farm it would be 100% unnecessary.

There is actually a distinction.

I raise hair sheep (Katahdin/Barbados crosses) , which produce no useful (that I've seen) wool. But are fantastic in terms of meat.

I'm starting to see a market for them in the specialty realm (beyond halal/kosher/immigrant markets)

I'm thinking I'll need to eventually set up something like this: https://www.deepsouthventures.com/i-sell-onions-on-the-inter...

Have you looked at old Xeon PHI devices? They're not fast, and they may not meet your ram requirements, but DAMN are they cheap.

Thats how lots of large commercial buildings do it. Make huge blocks of ice in the middle of the night when energy is cheap and the building's heat load is at a minimum, then melt the ice and use the phase change of water to absorb as much heat as possible.

Also why its colder in the morning and it feels like the building is a bit too warm to be comfortable if you stay late. This, of course, varies from building to building.

NASA gets all that done on $28Bn/year.

There's a huge list of companies that have that much revenue.

In some cases, it doesn't matter, but we shouldn't use cash as an excuse to cut corners with safety and reliability.

Try switching your spectrum. I bet that plastic is transparent in UV or Infrared and with some minor camera surgery, you could get some visible light filter in there.

Alternately, try some polarizing filters instead.

If you find something with thunderbolt, you can get an external controller in there via thunderbolt->pcie. But between that power draw, and the draw of the drives, you'll be bumping close enough to 40w that it'd be a wash.

I do this math myself every few months and ultimately, it seems for a large nas/server, 40-50W is about as low as you can idle.

F22 unclass service ceiling is 65,000ft

The problem is that its not a DC connection to the grid.

Not only do you have to match voltage on re-connection, but you have to match frequency AND phase.

Its "doable" but to do so reliably without a stable reference can be challenging. That's why the DC requirement is there. They want some form of reliable power to well tested electronics to match phase and frequency when the grid comes back up.

A heavily loaded AC line will drift in voltage and frequency stability (say when your AC kicks on and browns out your solar panels).

That depends where the hot water heater is located.

In my case, I was able to get rid of my dehumidifier in the basement and the window unit in the summer. Paid for itself in ~6 months.

I'm of the opinion that if they're willing to do a halfassed implementation like this now, they can walk it back and try again later after the initial shock has worn off.

The trust that the product will remain is gone. I guess I need to start packing my bags too.

So for those of us that got in this a decade ago, and have been running an entire family on it, what should be the chosen migration path?

I've already got nextcloud hosted locally, and could easily add calendar support.

The missing piece of the puzzle is email, and how mad android devices are going to get when their "google" email address no longer points to a google service.

When you qualify, your fuel tank is only allowed to hold X gallons. With the basketball inside, it held X gallons.

When the basketball sprang a leak and deflated, the tank held X+Y gallons, netting a slight advantage between pit stops (an extra lap or two over 500 miles adds up)

Typically, you'd have one fiber provider and one cable (coax) provider. I've never met anyone that has two fiber, or two coax providers to the same residential address.
