I'd disagree. A post matters if you care about a toic or action, because more people see what is happening.

Edit: Given my down votes, I'm guessing the above person meant "comment" and not "post". And others are attributing it as such.

Governments subsidize foods all the time. Yours probably does, too.

Mexico already has Welfare Stores, and this bar is being made in co-op with Food for Wellness.

A high quality chocolate bar, at that.

There's this newfangled thing people complain about..

I'm learning that some people don't have more than one set of sheets. We are privileged.

And.. 6 months?

SF isn't behaving like the rest.

Several San Francisco police officers, who had gathered at the immigration courthouse earlier that morning, walked behind the group.

An SFPD officer stood by and watched from a distance.

I wonder if Mark Robert sees this and wishes he had done it different during the Tesla video controversy.

I hate any company that uses or builds AI to screen out hires so, so much. Tagging metadata is OK, but filtering is just evil (am/have been a hiring manager).

The company also added that it’s instituting a bug bounty program to better catch security vulnerabilities in the future. “We do not take this matter lightly, even though it was resolved swiftly and effectively,”

I also hate it more that I can't hate them for doing the right thing.

Instead of having to do service.domain.tld it's nice to do service.lan.

I wrote scripts to automate my own custom ZFS multi-site backup solution. Way harder than spinning up a purose-built NAS OS, but not only do I have full control over it, I learned so much more about the underlying filesystem than I ever would have.

I use a dual NIC mini PC running OpnSense. Ot would support USB sims. I actually have two of the routers connected woth a network cable. If one goes down, the other takes over.

My partner ran across this thread randomly when searching for something else. This is the epitome of mid 2k internet arguments between the dumb and the not so dumb. It's 5 pages long, and I bet if you start it, you will finish it.

It revolves around a debate of how long a week is, what working out "every other day" means, and everyone else laughing at them along the way.

 

The author of Holism and Evolution, Jan Smuts, used the Greek word "holos" as the root of "holism" instead of "whole" (the book was English, and "whole" was commonplace). In later years, wholistic was coined, but never caught on. While there could be other reasons for the choice than making it sound more scientific, it sure seems to be the case.

This is one of those examples of the English language that annoys me.

So there are tons of 12"x9" magnetic grids out there for dropping screws onto when taking apart electronics, but my projects typically involve integration into other materials.

Having a sewing mat (about 24"x18") with all the metric/imperial grid lines and angle lines, but with a magnetic backing for holding screws in place would be perfect.

Has anyone ever tried to make a DIY magnetic desk pad? And if so, how did it go?

 

I don't think this is how it is supposed to work.

Really wish the DLC for this was still available. Slay away Camp is good, but this was so much better and I missed out on the DLC..

 

Testing outbound federation.

 

It's 6:30 hands down.

 

Hi all,

I'm going to try getting Zwift (a game that connects to Bluetooth, WiFi, or ANT+ bike trainers) running in Linux.

I'm pretty sure I can do this with my trainer since mine supports WiFi connectivity, but am curious as to if I could make it work with trainers that only support BT or ANT+.

I've previously done stuff like USB and PCI pass-through with KVM, but is this possible with Steam and Proton?

Thanks.

 

Hi all,

I've been thinking about picking up an N150 or 5825U MiniITX board for a NAS, but I'm wondering if there are better options given my requirements.

  • At least 2x 2.5Gb LAN
  • A 10Gb LAN, or 2.5Gb if not
  • 2x NVME
  • 8x SATA for spinning disks
  • 2x SATA for SSDs
  • MiniITX is required for the 10" rack
  • 64+ Gigs of RAM (ZFS cache) (This is not possible on an N150)

The problem I'm running into with the boards I've looked at is PCIe lanes, and not having ways to expand the sata or network ports without stealing from NVME.

I've started to look at boards with PCIe 4.0x16 slots and risers/splitters for expansion, but then I can't find low power CPUs for them.

Thoughts?

 

Hi everyone,

I've been a single-server built from whatever desktop I upgraded for years kind of guy, with a hostname of the street it is on (better than server, which is what it used to be).

However, at some point in the future my home lab will be located in a place I will not have immediate access to, and since it's getting on in age and due for an upgrade anyway, I'm going to build in some redundancy. So, current names:

  • OPNsense micro-router: ingress01
  • OPNsense backup: ingress02
  • Cluster micro-server with essential services: cluster01
  • Cluster micro-server with non-essential services and replicated essential services: cluster02
  • NAS: nas
  • Powered on remotely when needed:
    • Mac mini dev/release box: macmini
    • Primary remote development server (basically my old desktop): desktop

Bring on the Mini-MacMinifaces, and any other ideas you have.
