You can buy the USB drives they sell, and 3d print the slots for them, for your desktop.

Or you can get an NVMe hot swap device like this. And then use straight NVMe drives if that's more your style

Soda water. Because getting drunk isn't on my agenda. But it fits the vibe and people think your having a vodka tonic or something

Thank you for that very well thought out explanation. I think I understand now

Posts with no context are worse than not helpful, they're actively a detractant on Lemmy. And they discourage engagement

What does L2 mean?

Because when people are hot, they think the air conditioning isn't working, and the little ribbons are visual indicator that yes the air conditioning is actually running!

Good luck Helldivers.... But unless illuminids drop, it's just the same fight for no rewards (resource capped)

I don't think they are trolls, either lots of breathless enthusiasm, or performance art

Framework laptop solve this quite nicely, you can just have a one terabyte USB drive plugged in, use that as your operating system boot. And if you want to change operating systems pull them out and put them in like an old game boy cartridge.

How democratic. Don't criticize candidate because alternative is worse.

Even after you get your ideal setup with all your traffic transversing your network to a single host, you have bottle necked the whole network to the speed of that single host.

Usually in networks devices are able to talk to each other directly across switch fabrics and not interdesr with other traffic.

Say you have four devices A B C D each pair trying to send 1GiB/S of traffic to each other over a GbE network connected to the same switch. A,B gets 1 GbE and C,D gets 1 GbE. For a total concurrent speed of 2GbE.

In your model since all traffic has to hit the central wireguard node W first you can only get 1GbE speed concurrently

The person doing free labor and providing open source software doesn't use the preferred vocabulary.... Still a net positive, no reason to brigade their issue tracker for wrong think.

Encouraging the internet to harass a volunteer is low.

Nothing stopping people from forking the project changing the vocabulary, and maintaining their fork. But that's more work than drive by hate

Setting up a Synology server, I made the mistake of just buying a UPS that had a USB plug on the back thinking oh this is a solved problem, it must just work. No no far from it.

So the UPS I mistakenly purchased is not compatible with Synology. SRV1KI-E wants to run this weird program called PowerChute.

Anyone have success marrying this into the Synology ecosystem?

It also has a RS 232 serial port, I wonder if there's an off-the-shelf device that would speak serial but output power state via the network or USB.

I have a bunch of hard disks that have come to the end of their useful life, I was thinking about physically destroying them, but that seems like a lot of work.

Nwipe and shreados are very popular. What are your thoughts on the effectiveness of nwipe?

I've met some people from Myanmar, communicating with them is difficult. They speak Tai Yai. Especially because I'm not aware of any machine translation option, so a third party has to get involved.

I don't believe Google translate, Microsoft translate, any others I was looking at, have a Tai Yai feature.

Are there any options for translation without involving a human?

Built out my ploopy mouse today, it's been sitting on my shelf for a while. I got the self-assembly kit, had to solder on one through hole component.

So far I'm enjoying the mouse, the right mouse button is a little sticky, but I'm sure with a little readjustment it'll fall into place.

Every part of this mouse is open source, the hardware files, the PCB, the schematic, the firmware which is QMK. There's a lot to love here.

I've been playing some video games, and so far I enjoy the mouse quite a bit.

If I do have one complaint it would be the central scroll wheel doesn't have a detent, but that might just take some getting used to

I would love to see a kinesis style pinch mouse like the DXT2.

@pronk@mastodon.social @PKL@mastodon.social Great device, thank you for making it open source.

Note: I ordered their USB cables, just for solidarity, and assuming they found a cable that was very effective for a mouse, the cables I received were very strong, too stiff really to be used for a mouse cable. Luckily I had some very flexible braided USB cables already. So if you're going to order from them do not order the USB cable

Nice thoughtful video on the relative effectiveness of flames vs bugs in the new patch.

The most recent experience you had been putting off, but for whatever reason you tried. How did it go? Do you regret purring it off for so long?

A banger video about applying sintered traces to 3d printed models... BUT more interesting then that is the use of ChatGPT to "exfiltrate" unpublished formulas for the cooper plating solution.

In the video at 8:10 Ben goes through his exhaustive search of trying to make a solution that would work, and details that all the labs keep it more or less a secret, but the application of a LLM revealed the difficult to find steps/formula needed.

Obviously ChatGPT gobbled this up somewhere... just published on the internet but Ben didn't find it? Or did ChatGPT get trained on internal/corporate documents and the LLM is actually democratizing this information?

Casual time dyslexia (hackertalks.com)

As a child I grew up on a 12 hour clock.

18-20 I had to learn 24 hour clock and use it all the time (heh).

Now as an adult I try to stay 24h but I still mentally swap 24h to 12h in my head.

So I look at the clock see 13:00 and think ok it's 1:00pm.

So far, so good.... When on a treadmill/bike watching the timer go up, I sometimes have mild confusion.

I'm doing 15:00 on this machine, ok the timer says 13:00... I have 4 minutes left. I realize my quick math and time recognition frameworks are colliding. The 13:00 gets quick swapped to a 1, and I then I do 5-1.. I've noticed this on multiple days, even though I know it's wrong.

Not sure of the right term for this, anyone else have this kind of coding confusion?

If you've got a long elevator ride part of your daily life, what do you do with your time in the elevator?

I've got a 90s elevator ride at my office, and I go up and down all the time, no signal no Wi-Fi..

Had a small discussion with a good beehaw community member in one community, it got contentious but otherwise civil, and they have now taken to taking that discussion out in response to comments I've made in other posts and communities.

I would consider this a form of harassment, following me around Lemmy and having a argument seems to hurt the overall discussion in other posts and communities with anger and abuse.

How do I get help in this matter?
