    How do you start node-red as a service in Windows for LPR

    In general on making an executable run as a service, Microsoft used to have a utility that I used in the past (srvany or something like that). There are other third-party programs, like nssm, that are open source program. Check out: https://www.helpmegeek.com/run-applications-as-windows-service/

    Ahhh, Spring has sprung..

    Per the "Spring has sprung...", the same feral cats come to mate around my house, spray, mate and make a ruckus at end of March. Always hoping for rain to help wash the smell away!

    Any "old tech" gurus recognize this?

    Are you talking about IEEE-488/HP-IB cables? Dealt with them on stringing scopes, analyzers, etc. and later HP-UX workstations to tape drives, hard drives, etc. My first home OS was CP/M, running on a home-built z80 system with two 5.25 floppy drives.

    Money & Economics

    I believe I read that house insurers are asking for a 42% increase to the NC Insurance Commission. Normally they ask for like 20%, but end up getting 7-10%. Our county just re-assessed our properties, going up about 20%. I think they do a blanket % on all properties, send out the notices...

    One other thing that should be on the list is produce seeds, fertilizers, etc. so you can grow some veggies, etc. One guy I get a kick out of his YT videos is J Bravo. He moved out of CA to TX, bought a bunch of farm land, having a pond put in with fish, building a couple houses and out...

    Like in 2007/8, just before it crashes, you have many of the talking heads telling you hurry up and get in before it sky rockets :). They want your help to push it up as much as possible so they can get out first. For taxable stuff, Capital One, Discover and even AMEX have high rate CDs...

    I expected a stock market downturn and recession by 2023, moved to more conservative investments, waiting to jump partially back in. I think they are trying to push it off till after the election from some reason!
