Having more current running through a wire means thicker wires. Higher voltage means less current to achieve the same power, so thinner wires for the same power. The tradeoff for higher voltage is it's more dangerous (higher chance of arcing etc).

Agreed. Lately I'm coming across self-hosted services that not only require docker, they essentially require a docker-compose file full of many other dependencies.

The other thing that blows my mind is how many of these self-hosted applications require mysql/postgres instead of just using sqlite.

I'm guessing they don't because the application requires 8 services to run...

I really love the idea of this project but I feel like it is grossly over engineered.

This is the same reason I don't even bother with anything more than basic ipv6 internet access on my home network. I've made some attempts with using ULA but I could never get it to work right, even after multiple attempts.

I wish there was something in the ipv6 standard that allowed referencing an ipv6 without the prefix on your local subnet (ie: :::10a1:da35:2f4d:3cfc). So you could do all your internal networking with the consistent suffix and just deal with the changing prefix the same way we do with a dynamic ipv4 addresses, dynamic DNS. I'm certain there's a reason something like this couldn't be possible but it just seems like something along these lines is missing.

That's what the link-local address on your interface is for.

I think they're talking about the "match (true)".

You are correct. This is what I was referring to

My neighbor was out from Monday until Friday evening. I think it was actually up to _6_ days...

I've had my ts3 for a couple years now. I just noticed a pretty bad coil whine on mine lately. I'm not sure if it's always been there and my environment's changed or the device just suddenly started making the noise.

Yes! I swear I remember banning some of those spam domains in 2010 or so. IIRC, I thought it was part of Google search.

It definitely was. Sadly it was short-lived, it lasted maybe a year. I remember banning experts-exchange and being a lot happier.

> Sadly it was short-lived

Understandable since a few years later Google would acquire Doubleclick Inc, which back then was number one in polluting the web with advertising, and first entry in all adblockers kill lists.

This is identical to how I feel. My advice to people who want to get in a routine of exercising is to minimize the barrier to entry. For me it was running. I leave my house and can immediately start the thing I don't want to do without having all this overhead to start doing the thing I don't want to do (going to the gym etc).

I feel like that as well. Running isn't great for me but biking works - I can commute or shop and also get a workout all at once.

The IoTaWatt does measure voltage. You plug in a calibrated AC wall wort as well as the DC USB power supply.

Well, sorry, then. Missed that bit on their site.

Still, inductive current measurement with the sizes of the clamps they show and typical currents they're measuring isn't accurate at all. Not even considering that voltage measuremens via a wall wart would depend on what load is currently sharing the same wiring.

This might be my bias since I design similar stuff for solar offgrid, where a percent or ten off are that much in capex divided by battery lifetime, then multiplied by battery cost. It bites.

I don't trust inductive clamps at low currents. I would never trust measuring voltage on the same line as a load.

Hall sensors or current shunts; voltage dividers - all driving MCU ADC channels via optoisolated opamps. Everything measured as near to the source as possible. Otherwise you're getting nearly worthless data.
