Nah.

Honda has a much better product in the first place, their engineering approach has always been better than Nissan (I say this having worked on every major brand, and some unknowns).

Nissan is one of the better ones, but they’re still a big step away from Honda.

And Honda was working on hydrogen nearly 30 years ago now, which seems poised to suplant batteries (again, maybe).

Not really, they’ve all had telemetry for probably 20 years.

The cars with satellite radio are even worse (which isn’t saying much, since they put modems in cars about 20 years ago)

Jeep/Chrysler have always been banned from my life.

Garbage. Worse than any other American car company. They even managed to screw up cars made for them by Mitsubishi.

Which is why adding Tailscale to this KVM is a killer solution

Excellent, thanks for the link!

I like your thoughts on runtime and recharge time.

That four hour limit really outs things into perspective for someone just starting out. Most people don’t understand the constraints at first.

I believe mailbox.org is all renewable, and I’m pretty sure it’s solar.

But you need a massive battery bank to run stuff, batteries have a limited lifespan (especially the crap used in a UPS).

It’s not cheap, you generally want to overbuild everything, and there are ongoing costs (hardware failures, batteries, etc).

But it can be done. Just have to do the math for your max power draw, then how much uptime you need determines the size of your battery bank and number of panels (which is influenced by how much sun you get/how consistent it is). You need enough panels to run your system and charge batteries, given the limitations of sun availability.

That’s fucked up

Wow, install Tailscale or Wireguard and you’ve got a killer remote support solution.

Weird people would downvote this. I usually don’t care (still don’t, lol) but someone downvoted the idea of installing a mesh VPN on this KVM, yet it’s already been done.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Drives me crazy that accounting software is SAAS. The last thing I want is my business accounting on someone else’s systems, regardless of how encrypted, backed up, etc.

Just look at the recent large company whose entire business data set was deleted by Google. If it were a small mom n pop, they’d be out of business before Google even responded.

I swear I see a business opportunity as an IT consulting service that implements nothing but local solutions.

Not just Europe, everywhere. Look at all the breaches, every day.

Until those breaches cost companies serious money, they won’t do anything about it.

I also don’t agree that we don’t know what it [consciousness] is.

… most can’t agree on how to define it.

Which is it?

“too”

1999 - DSL After that, cable was pretty much everywhere I lived.

I recently switched my cell service to JMP.chat, which pipes your SMS into XMPP (it’s brilliant, SMS is no longer tied to a physical device or SIM). I still get spam sms, but it’s far less an issue.

Plus I can pop any Sim into my phone and it has no affect on my phone number that’s with JMP. That all remains in XMPP, and the new SIM would just provide a different data connection (and it’s own number with its own voice and SMS).

Have you ever used Yet Another Call Blocker?

I’m curious how it compares to Carrion (I’m not sure they’re directly comparable, looks like Carrion does a little more than YACB).

I’ve used YACB for years, just to keep my phone from ringing for unknown calls, and only allow contacts to ring through.

There’s still Lineage (which is what DivestOS is based on), and Graphene for Pixel.

I’m currently running DivestOS on a 2017 flagship, it’s really good there (I also run it on some Pixels).

I’m really hoping someone (preferably a team) will pickup DivestOS. Makes me wish I had the leadership skills to pull a team together.

Get the Universal Android Debloat Utility, it’s pretty good at letting you know what can be disabled.

Unlocked boot definitely costs more.

There’s also swappa, but I’ve had best luck on ebay. Some sellers are very clear about unlocked bootloader.
