These over the top services handle node discovery and meshing for you, instead of you having to feed configurations manually down to each device you want to hook up to wireguard.

Convenience features etc

Laser leveling is very much a thing, I can't speak to grading for construction, but I have several family friends who use it extensively for agricultural fields in California.

I grabbed a USB BluRay player, which happens to work great as a CD player/ripper as well.

Thrift shops, library shops, and even second hand "media" shops are everywhere and completely drowning in CDs. (DVDs too but that's another story)

For a couple bucks, you can go grab an armload of CDs, rip them, play them whatever, and donate them back or resell them, get yourself some random seeds for music discovery.

Same here, much better selection on DVD / BluRay than their streaming.

I think they've moved off the Traefik ingress in favor of others out of the box FWIW.

I haven't done a side by side with it, but the red dragon sauce is damn good.

Maybe a bit different than Huy Fong, but it checks the box for me.

Side note, the main mechanism TJs and other store brands use to pull off this trick is to have the original manufacturers produce the product for them as a white label product.

Actually quadcopters/drones/fixed wing, RC aircraft et. al. are "aircraft" per the FAA.

14 CFR 91 defines both, here's the FAA interpretation of 14 CFR 91, which they also produced to explain why they were allowed to further regulate RC aircraft operations outside of the boundaries set by congress in the FAA FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012.

https://www.faa.gov/uas/educational_users/media/model_aircra...

Basically the FAA took the stance that all these things are "aircraft" and the same sets of rules apply to their operation.

Shooting down or at a drone, or RC aircraft has always violated the same set of laws, perpetrators just haven't yet been prosecuted for it yet.

Kinda worrying that they found "Heavy Hitters" to have pesticides, that brand is sold all around me here in CA at the legal shops.

That's what culture fit means. It's a more polite way of saying "Not an Asshole"

Most haven't actually. The modus operandi of the scooter companies seems to be:

1. Drop a load of scooters around town in the middle of the night

2. Wait for the city to take notice

3. Apply for permit after the fact

They're very much in the "Easier to ask forgiveness than permission" game right now.

I would point out that their DVD and Blu-ray selection is still excellent.

I know we're talking video here but I wanted to share something. My father just got a new set of 'ears', he's been going deaf. They are titanium studs that are implanted into the bone just behind the ear, about the size of pencil erasers. They work through bone conduction. The hearing part are replaceable electronics that snap on and off the studs.

The current gen are about the size of a quarter and are bluetooth capable, so he can sync to his devices, watch movies, etc with these little guys tucked behind some hair.

It got me thinking, I wonder if audio guys have started to look at some of this sort of thing to really "hear" music perfectly. Very interesting tech.
