Sorry.  Couldn’t resist.  I’m not proud of myself.

 

If it makes you feel better, we have Rod Blagojevich.  Also I see the domain 
illinoisman.com is available.  Almost couldn’t resist that too, but I can’t 
think of what I’d do with it.

  I did find a good discussion on Scientific American

They don't exactly describe it as snake oil, but they also suggest that you not

I would go for gloss not flat.  More reflective, plus dirt and bird poop will 
tend to wash off with the rain.  Just pick the brightest white color they have, 
I think someone here called it appliance white.  If you’re just getting a spray 
can at Ace or Home Depot, I think it’s more a question of what will adhere well 
to the surface in question, give a nice smooth surface without texture or runs, 
and not flake off over time.  Don’t spray it on too heavy, let it get tacky and 
spray on a second coat.  Make sure the surface is clean before painting.

  Think of “Superbad” for 6th graders.  

   

  Several memorable funny moments.  

   

  Maybe watch it when it streams and there is nothing else on.  And when 
the kids are not in the room.  And when nobody else is in the room.  And when  
you can erase your viewing history.

Re: [AFMUG] IoT and LAN IPs

[Adam Moffett]

I guess I'm behind the times.  Why do lightbulbs and toasters need 
connectivity?

I suppose we can start using /22's now and make the DHCP pool 1000 IP's.

What's this about a holy war with IPv6? I haven't noticed that either.  
Is there someone who thinks depletion is totally ok and we'll never need v6?



On 8/14/2019 1:39 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote:


With all the Internet enabled stuff people are putting in their houses 
now, are conventional routers going to run out of LAN IP addresses?


Yes, I know about IPv6 (and let’s not unleash that holy war), also 
about smarthome hubs.  But most people seem to be just buying stuff 
like fridges and toasters and doorbells and lightbulbs and cameras, 
and hooking them up to their WiFi router.


Almost any router you buy at the store is going to have a LAN subnet 
like 192.168.1.0/24 and may not allocate all of that for DHCP range.  
So there are at most 253 available addresses, and possibly as little 
as 50 or 100. Until recently this should have been way more than 
needed, but it seems inevitable that homes will soon have more than 
253 connected devices.


May just mean switching to a bigger subnet, but average Joe doesn’t 
know how to do that.  Meanwhile if during the day his “things” have 
taken the entire DHCP range and he gets home and his phone or laptop 
can’t get an IP, he things it’s an Internet problem.

more complicated than that? Obviously, the transmitter has to be off

Re: [AFMUG] Solar load

[castarritt .]

All of our DDB boxes have the brushed metal finish.  I painted one of them
with some white elastomeric roof coating stuff from Lowes that is meant to
reflect solar energy, and the peak internal temp only went down ~5°F.  We
have a lot of gear in that box, so I think an application with a larger
ratio of solar gain to internal heat generation would benefit more.  After
the paint failed to solve the problem, I replaced the 110cfm fans with a
pair of 48vdc 250+cfm fans, and the temp went down 20°F; it does make a lot
more noise though.

These days, if you’re not allowed to watch things that are just plain stupid, 
the selection must be very limited.  Unless you grade on the curve.

I am ashamed I paid good, hard earned money to watch “Good Boys”.  

 

I think the demographic is men who still have a mental age of 12.  

It had some very funny moments.  

 

Think of “Superbad” for 6th graders.  

 

Several memorable funny moments.  

 

Maybe watch it when it streams and there is nothing else on.  And when the kids 
are not in the room.  And when nobody else is in the room.  And when  you can 
erase your viewing history.

 

Ok, not quite that bad.  Very hard to describe.  

Seriously stupid funny, but mostly stupid.

Re: [AFMUG] Fw: OT Movie Review

[Ken Hohhof]

I would go for gloss not flat.  More reflective, plus dirt and bird poop will 
tend to wash off with the rain.  Just pick the brightest white color they have, 
I think someone here called it appliance white.  If you’re just getting a spray 
can at Ace or Home Depot, I think it’s more a question of what will adhere well 
to the surface in question, give a nice smooth surface without texture or runs, 
and not flake off over time.  Don’t spray it on too heavy, let it get tacky and 
spray on a second coat.  Make sure the surface is clean before painting.
