I havent messed much with my servers in 2 years. I think that means I’ll hit my RIO in another 5 :)

I’m a little biased as I work for Bose but we still use a metal yoke and hinge.


This is happening in all aspects of consumer electronics. Broad platforms of hardware and software that is cheap enough to meet all the needs then just water it down for the ‘cheaper’ varieties. The consumer has no attention span so everything has to be fresh and totally new with more features every 1-4 years max. Ita what the consumer demands from complex systems so engineers just need to churn shit out as fast as possible and everyone suffers.


Do you apply siracha in lieu of a turbo button when the user count gets too high?


Wow you invoked a name I hadn’t thought of in a very long time. Shit did I use that playing Unreal Tournament, StarCraft or was it late enough to be WoW?
Edit: final release 2003, guess it was unreal.


Just bought 10 acres and plan to grow the shit out of some veggies. I stare at a screen all day and deal with technical problems, at the end of the way I just want to dig in the dirt and stare at the plants.


I looked into Greece and the heritages citizenship went away for children born after thr early 80s.


That was my first thought, dude looked coked up…


My install is bare metal, all SSD, redis and php-fpm optimization and I’m extremely happy with the performance. Also use transcoding from an Intel a380 and use Memories for the whole family. Works snappy and flawless. You need to tweak the php settings.


I bailed on rocketchat a few years ago for Mattermost and never looked back. Rocketchats update cycle was insane, sometimes two releases in a week but often several a month. A few pdates required full database dumps and manual tweaking. It just wasn’t for me.
Way better to use your old junk. I like that youre make your own home battery, ive considered it. I have solar installed and would love to not consume grid power at night. I’m thinking of installing a bank of lead acid batteries under my ground mount solar that would dump power into my home at night.
May I ask why 18650? 21700 have better energy density and theyre easier to get these days. The price has also come down a lot.


Thank you for putting into words what ive subconsciously been thinking for years. Every search result prioritizes videos at the top and I’m still annoyed every time. Or even worst I have to hunt through a 10 minute video for the 30 seconds of info I needed. Stoohhhhpppp internet of new! Make it good again!


I used it many years ago, perhaps 10, and started using it again because it allows me to rename PWAs. I have four instances of Frigate running for various locations and now i can edit their name based on location.


Check the power supply too. Those mini PCs just use a cheap laptop power brick and sometimes they can’t sustain their full output anymore. I had one server constantly crash and once I swapped the power brick I never had a problem again.
When cutting aluminum, push very gently. And when the raw material gets too small, don’t try cutting the last little piece. Small working material will increase the chance of accidents. I set my limit around 20 cm.
This. So much this. Even when cutting wood properly on a mitre be careful with little pieces. You simply cannot control or hold really small pieces. Almost lost some fingers and scaring the hell out of myself making that mistake.
I think you can get away with it for aluminum, but just be cautious and slow knowing its not the ideal tool. I’m sure it will work through since its such a soft metal. Just listen to the motor in case it protests your feed rate.
That looks like a mitre saw, but you mentioned you want to cut aluminum. Be careful, I believe mitre saws are for wood only and spin much faster than a chop saw which is designed for metal and spins slower.


Their upgrade scripts for on the rails installs have gotten a lot better recently, especially in the last year. But then last upgrade they fucked it all up and made a series of database commands mandatory for the warnings to go away. Uggghhhh.
Debian also for decades but started with Slack in the late 90s. Hello Linux buddy!
