Just increase the density of neutrons by 0.1%.
The universe will probably cease to exist.
- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 1 month ago:
Every year? The only person I know within my immediate vicinity has phones ranging from 2019 2022.
Also something you use probably 3-5 hours a day vs something you might use only a few hours a week isn’t immediately comparable.
A modern day necessity vs a relatively niche item.
- Comment on NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules 1 month ago:
My passphrase includes several spaces. It’s another character to assist in entropy.
- Comment on Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive” 2 months ago:
No way 3,840 × 2,160x2=16,588,800 pixels 16,588,800 x 10 bits = 165,888,000 bits
165,888,000 bits / 8 bits/byte = 20,736,000 bytes

- Comment on Instead of carrying multiple camera lenses, this one lets you swap optics 2 months ago:
Seems like a proprietary lens mount.
No way to weather seal. No dust ingress protection.

There are a few YouTube videos that end up rebooting android. Forgot which ones and I’m too scared to try to recreate it.
- Comment on USA | Trump will speak from behind bulletproof glass at outdoor rallies 2 months ago:
But you could use an optical guided drone. Oh wait it’s a TOW. We’re using TOWs again.
- Comment on UK Space Command successfully launches first military satellite 2 months ago:
Mostly because they just use the FVEY assets already.

I play it with my spouse. Really helps with the long distance times.
- Comment on Why we don't have 128-bit CPUs 4 months ago:
I mean we do right?
Trains are typically 2 x 4 bogies.
But then high speed rail have fewer wheels due to friction.
- Comment on [Meta] Did we drop the "what are you playing" monthly thread? Also, mods haven't been active for a while, should someone take over? 4 months ago:
I’m playing thronefall.
Difficult but super fun. Only made it past level 3. A bit too preoccupied to play further.
Also playing on a steam deck!

I’ve been trying to get a docker composed from my docker run commands, so I’m going to try it out
- Comment on What should I run and why? 6 months ago:
Can you briefly summarize the difference between dockge and portainer?
I use portainer for the most part and have no real complaints aside from some ambiguous error messages when containers fail to deploy.

I’m a network engineer in the DoD lol
- Comment on Counterfeit Cisco gear ended up in US military bases, used in combat operations 6 months ago:
Because the DoD isn’t as organized as many perceive. Source: me
- Comment on Why do cameras call it "Macro Lens" if it zooms in and is used to capture tiny objects? Shouldn't it be "Micro Lens"? 6 months ago:
I suppose tilt shift lenses can achieve that.
- Comment on Why do cameras call it "Macro Lens" if it zooms in and is used to capture tiny objects? Shouldn't it be "Micro Lens"? 6 months ago:
Actually for cropped sensors it’ll still be 1:1 but “cropped”
You can get more magnification if you use extension tubes or specialized lenses.
- Comment on Why do cameras call it "Macro Lens" if it zooms in and is used to capture tiny objects? Shouldn't it be "Micro Lens"? 6 months ago:
Two train of thoughts. Making something 1:1 ratio is a true “macro” lens for photography. Because you’re increasing the size of the object to match the size of the sensor.
Then you got microscopes which makes things much larger than life.
For which manufactures call it what? Probably all marketing, but this makes the most sense in my life for justification.

Oh that’s really clever!!

It’s also Wifi AX which I’ve hit 600mbps with my phone.
Buttttt it’s wifi AX for 5ghz only.
- Comment on Ideas for setting up a media server compatible with xbox viewing? 9 months ago:
I would imagine poor upload speeds would really make it difficult.
Also Plex doesn’t direct play outside the LAN. (I think) so encoding could also pose an issue.
- Comment on Which OS do you use for your homeserver? 9 months ago:
Proxmox, Openmediavault, Ubuntu Server. Mostly because I’m lazy and I grew up using Ubuntu.
- Comment on More and more USB sticks and microSD cards are being made with dubious components — data recovery firm uncovers no-name, low-quality NAND inside many devices 9 months ago:
Yeah I agree. I have a drive running Ventoy and that’s about it.
Also if I’m moving a lot of data. I’ll use a NVMe enclosure to speed up the transfer instead of network.
- Comment on Wi-Fi 7 quietly took off while everyone was looking at AI 9 months ago:
*Stares at my home networking stack. *
- Comment on Why do some websites have a "Continue Reading" button? 9 months ago:
Because many are served by a 3rd party CDN that’s more robust than the original article.
Also might be part of the coding.
- Comment on Planning build: Power efficient headless steam machine, and later upgrade for AI tasks 10 months ago:
Just so you know
R5 5700G
128GB ram
2 x 20TB disks
2 x 4tb NVMe
Idles at about 60w.
You should look into the RTX 6000 or higher to utilize vGPUs.
And also get into proxmox. You can pass through part of your GPU into a “desktop” environment and also have another VM(s) running in the background. That way you can use your computer as normal with a type 1 hypervisor in the background.
Also get a mobo with 2 NICs. The fewer pcie cards you have the lower power draw.
My NVMe idle at 7w and my HDDs idle at about 15w I think. 45w is just for storage.
