Harbor freight sells battery powered hammer drills and masonry bits that are cheap and powerful enough to drill a few inches into concrete in under a minute.
They also had saws and saw blades used for cutting up masonry.
- Comment on I have a rasberry pi 5 collecting dust, what are some neat useful things i can do with it? 4 days ago:
orb.net monitors your internet performance.
tailscale.com access your home internet or devices when you’re away from home. Usually only helpful if you have a NAS, but I’ve used it to stream tv shows without having to get bothered or blocked because the service can only be used in the US. I watched some NFL over youtubetv while in Germany for example.

Mine runs Orb and Tailscale as an exit node.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering reportedly delays Horizon 3, as Sony prioritizes multiplayer PS5 game 1 week ago:
Plenty or horizon fans would be fine with another full price dlc.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering - Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games 1 week ago:
Yikes. Hope this doesn’t kill the horizon brand.
- Comment on What actually happens in a DDOS attack? 2 weeks ago:
When a post to a website gets popular but the website doesn’t have enough resources to handle the number of people visiting it.
- Comment on What actually happens in a DDOS attack? 2 weeks ago:
DDOS is a symptom. A DDOS can cause different failure scenarios at different points.
Maybe the attack is causing the service to access a backend database that isn’t equipped to handle the traffic. The web server queues requests but they can’t be handled in a timely manner.
Maybe the attack causes a firewall to spend too much time inspecting the traffic by sending a malformed packet.
Maybe the attack simply overwhelms the bandwidth of the firewall or router. The Reddit “hug of death” is a common example.
In short, lots of things can lead to a service interruption. A DDOS is just a description of a way to cause that interruption by using distributed source hosts.

- Comment on Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month 1 month ago:
I don’t think it will pop. I think it will continue to gobble up components for the next 5 years.
- Comment on Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month 1 month ago:
In a few months there won’t be any affordable equipment.
- Comment on Whats the best use for 75 dollars? 1 month ago:
75 isn’t a whole lot. If you don’t have a financial management tool yet, you should put it towards that.
Look for something with no fees. I believe Sofi has no fees and might not have a minimum amount. Their app is also really easy to use.
A local credit union is also a good choice since you can physically talk to a person when you have questions.

- Comment on What are You Working on Wednesday 2 months ago:
Windows security baselines. They suck. Not because they are bad, but because they aren’t enforced defaults. Turning them on breaks something and you have to dig through decades of policy and app configuration to figure out why.
I wish once a year MS would have just made a security defaults update month and made a few changes so we could anticipate them and fix them collectively over time.

- Comment on Did the Buldak spicy ramen get less spicy? 2 months ago:
A mix of that and tomato paste, fish oil, garlic, ginger would probably mix things up for you.
- Comment on Did the Buldak spicy ramen get less spicy? 2 months ago:
I’m guessing you could substitute a 2:1 mix of paprika:cayenne.
- Comment on What is the difference between a managed switch and an unmanaged switch? 2 months ago:
Why are they so much more expensive…
Because people will pay that much for those features. You can find managed switches for $60 pretty easily. Until you get into the 48port blades they don’t change a whole lot, so the higher prices are typically from different ways to trick you into paying more.
Some features like line rate, buffers, do add to the cost though.
- Comment on So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up? 2 months ago:

- Comment on What's a 'common sense' thing that you genuinely don't understand, and have been too embarrassed to ask about until now? 2 months ago:
Honestly how did two wires on old phones power the phone, got it to ring, hold a two-way conversation, and also dial out? Only two wires?!?
I took a class at college on it and the mystery was revealed but I’m still convinced it’s magic.
