I’ve been testing Ente out the last few weeks and so far it’s pretty good. Easy enough to setup and point the app to my instance. A little annoying to keep seeing a free tier limit being listed on a self hosted instance. Hopefully it doesn’t actually do anything, we’ll see when I hit it though

If it’s weight is anything like water, 550 gallons would weigh near 2.5 tons

It’s worked pretty well ok for me, but I only really sim race so it’s all stationary and no controllers.

Highly recommend setting up Envision so it can build and setup the Monado/XR environment

I’m not much for watches and stuff. I have my phone, it does what I need and then some. But that is one nice looking watch.

Simple but elegant.

Seems like you’re right! Thanks

And what?

Had to downvote but it really is an awesome game. Great physics and combat, universe, politics and economics.

Caddy has been the easiest reverse proxy I’ve setup over the years.

Not sure I agree with high AF, but definitely sounds like he’s lying or making up bullshit all the time

Refurbished drive. I’ve had 4 white label drives running for a number of years without issue, planning on eventually getting 12 more and maxing out my servers.
Unfortunately that’s years down the line :(

Throwing in my own data, I have a small server rack at home that runs a brocade icx4630 switch and dell r720, idles around 250w. My desktop setup, monitors, amp, computer itself etc idles around 200w.

My shit just beeps at the end of the timer and you can’t even hear it if you’re in the other room. If you forget to turn off the oven, it just stays on forever.

…piece of shit

I remember looking into solar some 20 years ago. 5kWh battery bank was practically unheard of and iirc correctly was roughly $1k per kWh. Hopefully somebody with the time can come and correct numbers. Today you can find 5kWh battery banks for ~$2k.

Inverters I remember being about $5k-$10k for house sized and capable of running AC unit. Today roughly $1k-$2k.

Solar panels themselves I’ve not priced, but iirc I remember large arrays being $20k-$30k or more.

The cost to DIY a whole home off grid solar and battery bank system has gotten beyond easier, safer and an absolute fuck ton cheaper

Make your stranded end nice and long and easy to “comb” and flatten out. Get all your pairs lined up and in order and flatten the wires together on a table or other work surface.

I usually cut about 3 or so inches of sleeve off the cable to expose the strands. But same thing applies if you can only cut an inch off, just a little more difficult.

Assuming you have passthrough rj45 ends or whatever they’re called, you can just slip on your end and crimp and let the tool trim the excess wire.

If you don’t you get to go through the process of trimming down and getting the tiny stubs to stay together enough to slide into the connector.

I'm currently hosting vaultwarden on my rack, mostly just because I can really. It's easy enough and I have plenty of resources.

I’ve had long hair for about 20 years. Hair tie is number 1, in a pinch though I just grab a locke of hair and wrap it into a ponytail. For the last 6 or so years I’ve had dreadlocks and it’s about the same, but I have way longer dry and wash times lol.

Before dreadlocks though, I found that more oils and products I used the more my hair fell flat, so for about 6 or 7 years I did the no-poo method and my hair liked it quite a lot. My hair was very curly and full, and could pretty quickly tell when my hair had too much sebum and other oils building up

Not entirely sure how you’d go about getting slicked back hair that also isn’t flat etc, but from what I know of my hair, I would try a good deep clean and trying a small amount of pomade just at the roots/scalp. Seems like you’d most likely end up in a cycle of having to wash a lot though, but not really sure

Derp, I can’t read apparently

Do any other devices work on the port?

Are we 100% certain the USB-C port is connected?

Proton is amazing as long as you don’t get bit by anticheat, which thankfully is getting better.

Thankfully I don’t play many games with anticheat so almost the entirety of my game library runs on my Linux install.

Still playing Stationeers. If you want detailed survival game, Stationeers is it. Grind for ores to smelt and make parts. Blow up your base, cause you forgot ice melts in your hand. Suffocate cause you forgot to close your helmet when you left your base. Did you turn that gas mixer off? What’s that noi…
