Choosing a used truck
  • Depends on what you need.

    I use my truck about the same as you. But get 13mpg towing, and 18 not.

    1995 Ford 250 PSD.

    It's not comfortable, it's not fast, it's not fancy. But it'll pull whatever I put behind it. Carry almost anything I will ever need to (definitely more than I want to physically unload), and it's economical, and "future proof" in that I can modify in almost any way and still register without new diesel problems (high pressure pumps eating the entire system, def fluid and filter plugging, egr cooler plugging etc.)

    Personally I'd say get an older diesel that is in ok shape that you can make what you need.

  • Pyongyang Says It Will Send Support Troops to Ukraine Within a Month
  • Hmmm. While that would technically stop Russia from needing the troops in Ukraine, I don't think that just giving a dictator sections of land because he claimed them is a good path.

    "Just give up when I take your shit" is a shit take.

  • Howdy, Y'all fellow americans!
  • The "am I right" irks me so bad. It just screams "I NEED EXTERNAL JUSTIFICATION. PLEASE SOMEONE NOTICE ME." And on it's own that's not all that terrible, except it's been shamelessly used by bots to plug ads.

  • A second Trump term could slow the shift from fossil fuels as climate threats grow
  • Maybe..... war is extremely profitable to those manufacturing the weapons and material. So long as infrastructure doesn't get destroyed.

    I could see drumpf "accidentally" giving Ukraine a nuke "for deterrent", and then when Putin nukes and Ukraine retaliates...... yeah not good, but I could see that as a real possibility due to Drumpfs idiocy

  • remote assistance software suggestions

    I've been using RealVNC for family computer help and have been wanting to setup a self hosted replaced for a while now, but haven't had the time. RealVNC has recently axed their free levels, so I'll use it as a reason to setup a self hosted solution.

    Ideally it would be something like a web page (I have a domain and reverse proxy) where family can go, get a code or a software to run, which will then let me control their system securely.

    I was considering guacamole on a pi at each location I'm likely to have to support, but this doesn't help when family is away from their home network on laptop.

    What is out there for this? Have you used it? What are your experiences?

    Thanks

    Suggestions on bootcamps?

    I've been playing around with Arduino and esp for ~10yrs, just googling, copying around code snippets, and reading compiler fail logs.

    I'm fed up with my lack of ability to understand larger projects and more in depth programming (pointers, objects, etc)

    I'm mostly focused on embedded software (iot, iiot, etc.) So probably looking at staying with C,C++ or rust?

    I'm fine with investing some $$, but don't particularly feel I want to spend more that $1k at the moment to fix my ignorance.

    What bootcamps would you suggest?
