Thank you for providing this. In my firefox this article rendered as only the first paragraph then went straight to the comment section and I was very confused about why this was worthy of HN unless to talk about such a short content section!

[linuxguy2]

How much does it cost? Would love to buy one with the HOA and run our own micro-grid while exporting electricity to the local utility.

[unglaublich → linuxguy2]

When HOA gets too powerful.

[GuinansEyebrows → unglaublich]

This is bringing “My HOA went nuclear on me!” to a whole nother level.

[salynchnew → unglaublich]

When the DOE comes after your HOA.

Agreed. They're one of the few media sources I go out of my way to support with a membership.

I can't think of a better org to support with dollars.

I was thinking something similar. Participate online without feeding models via a self-selected DNT-like tag...

I too greatly enjoyed the article. Love those deep troubleshooting write-ups!

49% here. Maybe I'm missing the point? Something other than playing snake I suppose.

I assume it had live data at the time of Black Friday, and the loading bar is showing progress towards them publishing a replay: "FINAL DATA COMING TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3"

Would love to see a "use X days off between now and the end of the year" feature. Putting in the amount of PTO I've currently got gets shown for the whole year instead of just through EOY

and iTerm, Zoom, WebEx, Teams, talosctl... All kinds of prompts like that only to find everything enabled.

It was when Apple started to imply that Chromium, LibreOffice etc was Malware...

Yeah, sure Apple.... sure.

On: What happens when you touch a pickle to an AM radio tower

[linuxguy2]

Is that the KH0J transmitter? I've driven past that countless times and it seems so run-down I've often wondered if it was still transmitting. So many times I've wanted to park in the lot and take a gander... Probably for the better that I haven't!

[tpoindex → linuxguy2]

Seeing the frequency on the sign with the FCC station ID brought back fond memories of the former licensee, KIRL. I listened to 1460 in the late 60's and early 70's when it played top 40 rock and roll. A nice alternative to the top 40 powerhouse at the time, KXOK 630.

[geerlingguy → linuxguy2]

Yep! Honestly this site is about average in terms of local tower site upkeep. Many station owners let their sites run a bit wild, unfortunately.
