Regulatory intervention is supposed to happen before the issue occurs, not after…
- Comment on bypass controller on a cheap LED strip 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for the closure, glad you got it sorted! You might just need to change the batteries on your multimeter to get it back to normal.

Are they insured? Without registration, your letting a stranger into your house, who is then free to rob/steal/extort you to get themselves paid…
Sounds like a scam.
- Comment on bypass controller on a cheap LED strip 3 weeks ago:
Maybe you can trace that low voltage fluctuating line back to one of the ICs?, and work put how to disable that IC?
Or, use the remote to output solid white, and find the voltage on that line, and then try find that voltage somewhere else and short the two?
I’m running out of ideas though, I suspect buying a cheapo power supply might be easier :/
- Comment on bypass controller on a cheap LED strip 3 weeks ago:
Interesting, never heard of that arrangement before.
- Comment on bypass controller on a cheap LED strip 3 weeks ago:
When you say all the LEDs light up, do you mean they light up white?
Those LEDs are labelled R G B, so I would have assumed they were single colour LEDs?
- Comment on bypass controller on a cheap LED strip 3 weeks ago:
You can’t check for ground specifically, you just check for a 12v difference between two points, and call those +12 and GND.
Feels odd that they are pulsing the entire 12v line, but I’m guessing it was something cheap.
The bottom leg of the transistor definitely looks like GND to me, so I think you just want to probe around (carefully!!) to find the stable 12V. I would avoid the entire live side, and for safety, might be worth taping it up.
If you cant find a stable 12v, you may want to get a cheap 12v power supply? Old laptops are often 12v, power too chargers as well are often 12v.

Bottom leg of the transistor to the left of the signal wires would be my guess for ground, do you have a multimeter to check?
Looks like a large ground plane to the left of the transistors, so you might be able to scratch away the coating and solder directly to it.

Tangent: That sounds like a bad idea for food safety. And I’m referring to both the original and the recreation. If it were for myself, I would buy something made of metal.
On topic: Could you clean up the holes with a hot needle and some patience? PETG tends to be very stringy, which is probably the reason the holes are not well defined. Maybe try tuning your printer to minimise stringing? There are “food safe” PLAs, but washing/sanitizing them will be near impossible without warping them

Unless they decided to nuke all the arable land instead, lower upfront deaths, but the long term famine will get everyone.
Realistically, nuclear war is the end of everyone, its called MAD for a reason.

So instead of the girl tying their hair back, your foreplay is to pull on some kneepads? Hot.

I prefer to think of it as an open relationship. I have my home distro, my work distro, and if either of them aren’t in the mood, there is an wide variety of other distros to get the job done.
And if I’m feeling really kinky, there’s always Windows.

Chess/Go? AlphaZero would fit that description. Also think they were tackling StarCraft as well?

- Comment on Some docker containers need manual start after host reboot 2 months ago:
Can you make your docker service start after the NFS Mount to rule that out?
A restart policy only takes effect after a container starts successfully. In this case, starting successfully means that the container is up for at least 10 seconds and Docker has started monitoring it. This prevents a container which doesn’t start at all from going into a restart loop.
docs.docker.com/…/start-containers-automatically/…
If your containers are crashing before the 10 timeout, then they won’t restart.
- Comment on Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST) 2 months ago:
Don’t over think it, Mint will be fine. Modern Linux is very user friendly, and you can do almost everything with some form of UI.
- Comment on Is it safe to simply delete a huge app or file? 3 months ago:
Think of a file system as a book. There is a table of contents, and then all the files are in the subsequent pages. Deleting a file is typically done by removing the entry in the table of contents, the pages are untouched, which means its a very minimal change.
Deleting an app should be fine, but if its an older phone, you may want to look for a migration path, as hardware will fail as it ages. Could be anything, battery, charging ports, buttons. One day it will die.

I installed and uninstalled in 60s. It wasnt even close to an Age of Empires game. The cut scenes whenever anything gets built really killed it for me.
- Comment on "Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely 3 months ago:
There are two reasons to avoid a union:
- Fear of retaliation - Amazon et al.
- Perceived lack of need.
If you are well looked after by your company and are treated fairly, there is no need to create a union.
Apple may be in this category?
- Comment on Keep Tier-One Applications Out of Virtual Environments 3 months ago:
You’ll definitely get lots of login attempts. I used to have a port 22 ssh, hundreds of attempts per day.
Would be interesting to see what post login behavior was.
- Comment on Keep Tier-One Applications Out of Virtual Environments 4 months ago:
Wanna bet they expose SSH on port 22 to the internet on their “critical” servers? 🤣
- Comment on Keep Tier-One Applications Out of Virtual Environments 4 months ago:
Sure, but the author makes it sounds like thats its their standard way of doing things, which is insane.
And if you do have a misconfiguration, the rational thing is to fix that, not dump the entire platform.
- Comment on Keep Tier-One Applications Out of Virtual Environments 4 months ago:
If the hypervisor or any of its components are exposed to the Internet
Lemme stop you right there, wtf are you doing exposing that to the internet…
