  Uhh, do you still believe in Santa or the Tooth Fairy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the endgame?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no “end game” - the world’s in constant flux.

  There’s a million stories, a million agendas, a million players (8 billion?)

  Every day there’s a change in circumstance, so every day each agenda/story shifts to accommodate, as the players take new approaches to achieve whatever goals they have today.

  Nothing is ever as simple as “end game”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a spreadsheet that doesn't mess with the data I enter?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  AFAIK, when you save to CSV with Excel it doesn’t add anything.

  But you won’t have a Table either, as that requires saving yonan Excel format.

  As for the rest just format your columns as “text” in Excel.

  Oh, my writing is so inconsistent there’s no doubt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remote KVM recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  RustDesk is a great option too for just Remote Access. Though I find it’s performance a bit slow, and with VPN I can use any tool I need same as on the LAN (my workflow is unchanged).

  I do use RustDesk for the adhoc situations (friend needs help/new machine, etc). It’s faster to setup for ad-hoc support vs adding a Tailscale client.

  You’ll need port forwarding to expose RDP yo the internet

  No. Do NOT do this. RDP isn’t designed for the internet, it’s a security hole, even more so in a small business where they aren’t going to use advanced security (2FA, certs, etc).

  Remote access should always be over a secure connection, such as a VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remote KVM recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooh, I’d forgotten about Netbird!

  Thanks for the reminder to test it as an alternative to Tailscale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remote KVM recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Install Tailscale on all the machines and you’re set.

  Alternatively Hamachi.

  Exactly.

  Annoy you into paying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not the target audience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheapest 14x4tb NAS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Others have mentioned power - you may want to do some math on drive cost vs power consumption. There’ll be a drive size point that is worth the cost because you’ll use fewer drives which consume less power than more drives.

  Having built a number of systems, I’m a LOT more conscious of power draw today for things that will run 24/7. Like my ancient NAS draws about 15 watts at idle with 5 drives (It will spin down drives).

  More drives will always mean more power, so maybe fewer but larger drives makes sense. You may pay more up front, but monthly power costs never go away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheapest 14x4tb NAS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  And while more drives means more failure opportunity, it also means when a failed drive is replaced, it’s likely of a different manufacture period.

  I have a 5-drive NAS that I’ve been upgrading single drives every 6 months. This has the benefit of slowly increasing capacity while also ensuring drives are of different ages so less likely to fail simultaneously. (Now I’m waiting for prices to come back down, dammit).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheapest 14x4tb NAS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never run into issues running desktop hardware without ECC as servers - since the 90’s.

  I just don’t think the extra cost is worthwhile - I’m not running systems/services that will have catastrophic failures without ECC (or have weird bitflips that would corrupt some transaction).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sftp client gor android?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, that’s a challenging part for sure, one that I still deal with.

  It can be done, but you need to configure the sync jobs “just so”. Send only from the phone, don’t sync deletions, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many times a year do you wash your jeans?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The 60’s - when jeans were still very rough material and needed a LOT of breaking in.

  Today’s jeans are wimpy by comparison.

  But regardless of the material, I wash my pants when they get dirty, not every time I wear them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sftp client gor android?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it have to be SFTP?

  I use both Syncthing and Resiliosync - both are better on battery than conventional file transfer mechanisms, and they don’t require babysitting. They simply sync files as you define.

  McDonalds coffee is way Bette, and its $1

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, even their regular coffee is awful.

  McDonalds coffee is better than Starbuck’s, and its $1.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re over roasted, which makes them crap.

  I have a couple local coffee shops that roast their own and boy, is it a thousand times better than Starbucks crap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude, there’s good coffee everywhere.

  And I blame where you are for the garbage that is Starbucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Capsules?

  You mean that stupid machine with the pods? Yea, fuck that, its not good. And its expensive per serving.

  Even plain drip coffee is better than that crap if you buy good coffee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, even their coffee tastes like shit.

  They over roast it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My Thinkpad (4 years old) runs all day, no problem. I’ve often been shocked to look at the battery in the afternoon and see it’s at 30%.

  Really depends.

  ARM is still better on battery life but the difference isn’t as great as it was - and that’s enough to not trade the performance and flexibility for better battery life.

  X86 doesn’t need the same battery life as ARM, just not the awful life it used to have. And that’s where we are. The difference in battery life from 10 years ago is staggering. Used to be 2-3 hours run time, now I get 6-8.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Avocado is like mushy peat - its fucking awful.

  Even the tiniest bit in a taco or whatever ruins it for me - I find it that awful.

  I don’t like guac.

  It makes me wonder if there’s a cilantro thing with avocado, because dirt tastes better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to find a fan that blows 90° from intake?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Another term to search for is “centrifugal fan” - these are the type used where air flow restrictions are significant, as they can compress the air some unlike a traditional box fan.

  Where’s the return on your air handler? If there’s more than one (one upstairs, one down), you may be able to cheat the system by blocking one seasonally.

  Also most likely the air handler speed is set too high - installers are kind of lazy (they don’t want callbacks) so they typically set the air handler to max speed. Since most instalsl are also well oversized, this means the system will short cycle and move less air during that short cycle. Lowering the air handler speed may help lengthen the cycle, moving more air in total.

  You could also try just turning the air handler on (fan mode orn"Always On" on thermostat).

  This probably won’t solve your problem entirely, just maybe help.

  But only in Australia apparently

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do your teeth taste like?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Should be top comment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well Microsoft has been working on am ARM version of Windows for at least 10 years that I know of, probably longer.

  But every time ARM seems so much better than x86, x86 improves to close the gap.

  Power consumption has always been a big driver - laptops today now run all day on battery, or at least half a day, which competes with the ARM battery life advantage.

  Reminds me of psych 101 - much of the class thought they had something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just as bad, we have Johnson on tape selling it to Kennedy as a way to get past the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Kennedy didn’t believe in it at all.

  Johnson wanted the pork for his constituents.

  In Johnson’s defense a little, many of his constituents were quite poor and this did bring a lot of development to the area.

  It also put the Soviet Union in a tough position of having to try to keep up (though they did have a stellar space program already, but going to the moon was a waste of resources).

  Hell, IIRC, they had the first lander on the moon. They were well ahead of the US in many ways.
