Uptime Kuma, only really care if it’s up or not. Got about 30 services monitored, sending notifications to Signal.

Thats before washing the paint off, but the paint removal didnt affect the lasered section. Definitely a fun tool.

Open or not, I wouldn’t put one in the house with kids around. It really should be in a secured workshop/shed that kids cannot access. Closed might be “safer”, but the safest tool is the one kids physically can’t get near at all.

And definitely make sure you get the exhaust setup correctly, the fumes are nasty.

You can engrave glass with a laser diode, only catch is that you have to paint it first. I got some $2 washable acrylic paint from a craft shop and it worked great. And easily washed off afterwards.

Not sure if that can be replicated for metal though, but im definitely curious to try now.

I have a two trees tts-55pro, its cheaper, but no enclosure.

I would strongly recommend not relying on the enclosure anyway though, and make sure the glasses are actually capable.

I tested my glasses by putting them between the laser and a sheet of paper, and ran the laser at full power. If the paper is clean, its a good sign. Does mean my glasses have a big burn on the lens in front of my pupil though :D

I start my jobs and get as far away as possible, just to be safe.

If all you want to do is engrave plastic, look at the the cheap diode lasers. They’ll easily engrave plastic. Make sure you ventilate the area, and be very cautious about the lasers. They will blind you instantly.

I have a two trees tts-55 pro laser. Much cheaper, much less safe.

What are you planning on using the laser for?

My experience so far has been:

• software ecosystem is terrible. Expensive paid options, poorly maintained free options. I use LaserWeb, but its basically abandoned.

• bigger is better. The more cutting space you have the better

User process makes sense, but login shell is probably limited value. If your service gets pwn’d the attacker will spin up a reverse shell, and that isn’t protected by the login shell. You ideally want to use selinux/apparmor to prevent execution, or containers to limit the available execution environment.

Thats a relief, I was worried you were completely deranged.

What NAS software? Does the nvme to sata thing properly pass through the disk serial numbers? Truenas gets very pissy if the disk serial numbers aren’t passed in properly.

Do you use the laptop as a laptop? Or is it now just a laptop shaped NAS?

Don’t clouds mostly just rely on replication across zones though?

I would have thought tapes were just too slow to be useful in that environment.

I’ll read up on the IBM deep archive.

Does make you wonder who does use tape? Id assume big businesses just use cloud, so who is left that uses tape?

I didn’t look tbh, I just assumed it would be 1-2k. 8-10 is crazy.

Does kinda backup my point though :/

Found from a google, no experience with it.

Tape is not a nice medium for the self-hoster, the drives are expensive, the tapes need to be carefully stored securely (temperature and humidity controled). Its a lot of hassle. That said, if you find something good, I’m interested as well, so report back.

At most, i would expect the fan in the airfryer to spin faster, but i don’t believe there is a relationship between frequency and power.

Resistive heating elements in airfryers should also be unaffected by frequency.

My guess is that heating element is tuned for 220v, but at 230v it goes to a much higher temperature? Or they suck at cooking :)

Transformers are a fixed ratio, they will convert 110->12v, or 240 to 25ish volts. So a 110v transformer on 240v will most likely fry its device.

The frequency mostly doesn’t matter, but some old oven clocks used grid frequency to keep track of time, which was an issue recently: theguardian.com/…/european-clocks-lose-six-minute…

Reset button not working, but power button working is quite odd.

Is it just the once that this happened? Can you reliably trigger it with the car charger? If yes, maybe worth plugging in a monitor while you triggering it and see what happens.

Are the server and chargers close to each other? Some kind of EMP effect? Seems unlikely, but who knows.
