Yeah depends on the tracker some just credit you for seeding at all which helps people like you with bad upload.

Search lists in qbit are how most people manage.

I personally use torrentleech which is a private tracker but has basically everything and super permissive rules. Very very easy to maintain ratio and to also get invited and started. I have 4.8TB of upload credit. Searching in qbittorrent or manually across public sites took too long for me when i usually want to find a higher res or higher bitrate version of something.

Well if you figure out a solution make sure to edit your post to let us all know!

I’m in the same boat and i rent the place. Both bedrooms are on the same breaker and I’m upgrading my GPU (215W to 415W) and might get a Mi50 as a second card in my desktop for local LLMs. I’ll figure something out I guess…

Could it be your hot end dwelling over top of this section like a helicopter parent? My experience trying to print FDM minis for DnD (didn’t and still down own a resin printer) was small layer heights and lots of detail = lots of indirect heating that causes drooping, smearing, warping and lots of other fun stuff… i actually had better experience using a coarser layer height even if the final mini didn’t look as fine detailed. At least it didn’t look fucked up.

I don’t use Cura but my instinct would be trying a coarser layer height to see what happens. In prusa you can set a dynamic layer height depending on part geometry. Straight walled simple parts print really fast while it slows down and thins out layers around detailed areas. You can of course tweak the output yourself so you aren’t forced to use the dynamic z layer’s guess on where it needs to go thin.

I was just thinking the same thing. I was also thinking you can get a wide input voltage buck converter on amazon for cheap and use a bunch of cells in series as the UPS and the buck converter spits out 12V until it cant anymore. Then just wire up a charge controller to charge and balance your lead acid cells.

Yeah I bet its both dose and consistency that do it. I can’t live without cured meat, cheese, and campfire bread while backpacking or camping…

I know its just I have a 50/50 shot of getting cancer if I live like a monk and avoid carcinogenic foods, or i can eat what I enjoy and makes my life fulfilling knowing my risk is probably like 10% higher overall.

Have you tried replacing your country?

Same deal with cancer increases from different activities.

“Eating salami increases your cancer risk by 25%!” When it went from 0.3% to 0.375% over your lifetime or something.

Smoking is still a substantial increase though. Plus the fact that a minority of smokers get lung cancer, but 90% of people with lung cancer were smokers.

It depends on the generation. Older tapes and drives are a lot cheaper, especially second hand but hold less (tapes aren’t meant to be overwritten a lot though so typically you want unused. New old stock or new).

Most homelabbers use LTO-6 or 5, and you can also upgrade your drive and still read your old tapes (except for the newest generations iirc)

I haven’t looked at a process comparison for years, so I’m going off pre AI numbers. It was cheaper then spinning rust back then for $/TB (for my setup it was cheaper than rust by a massive margin since it have a quarter petabyte of storage. Amortizing a tape drive over that many tapes gets cheap quickly), but maybe its different now?

I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve been looking at NetBird.

Elevator pitch page

Maybe others who’ve used it or know more can chime in on if this is a good idea or not?

Blown pump then if you can’t read anything on those pairs. They’re literally physical coils that should always pass current no matter what, and all of the smarts happens inside the control board for making the 215Hz @ 55V & 3A to feed it.

AFAIK you would need a VFD or a custom built driver circuit to generate the frequency you need to operate it at which is the hard part.

Honestly though if it’s an permanent magnet synchronous AC motor (highly likely) you should be able to test it provided you had a Variac to lower mains voltage (or transformer with taps works too) although you would need to bring the input voltage waaay down.

Permanent magnet synchronous motors have a ratio of V/Hz you need to maintain, in this case we have 0.256 V/Hz.

To test at 60Hz the max I would start at would be 15.34V AC at 60Hz. Otherwise you draw too much current and risk cooking it.

You can also weld in metal wire with a soldering iron. I’ve done repairs that way before and it works quite well as long as the two pieces can’t move and fatigue the metal.

KMS

Thats some Kojima level shit. The Bismark would have been unstoppable if it was called the KYS Bismark

Yeah that’s very true especially since rocket scientists use metric for all of their calculations so the target audience speaking in nm is basically just pilots

It’s because if you travel at one knot for an hour you’ll travel a nautical mile. Still dumb but that’s where it comes from… And of course knot comes from knots in a rope tied to a board or bag dropped off the side of the ship to measure it’s forward speed.

A bit like the word queer, I think wojacks and Pepe the frog have been taken back from them which is a good thing.

There’s a huge variety. Grinding trains usually travel at around 30km/h and it looks like what Hollywood thinks an emergency brake application looks like

Track POV of a grinding train

They usually have a water tender at the end with a water cannon to spray down fires started by the grinding train itself.

Railway ballast cleaning to remove fines and tamp

Sleeper replacement

Yeah by a long shot. Railroads spend 1-3% of the capital cost on maintenance. So if it cost $3 million to build a km of track they spend roughly $30-90k/year. It might not look like it since tracks are just kind of always “there” but there is a decent amount of work you need to do pretty much constantly.

The stones underneath the tracks and sleepers is called ballast and it needs to be rough, angular rock of a certain size. It’s an engineered fill material that’s designed to lock together and hold the rails in place. Every train that passes by does a couple of things at once. It cyclically loads the ballast and breaks down those sharp edges that lock it together. At the same time the force of the wheels on the rails contributes to fatigue causing microcracks to form on the rail surface.

If you leave rails unmaintained long enough (by gross tonnage BTW. Rail can last a long time if it’s hardly used at all) the track will start pumping, where it compresses and expands as each axle passes over it. You’ll start lifting the subsoil up into the ballast ruining its ability to hold the track in alignment even more. Also, microcracks can combine enough that the railhead begins spalling and eventually the cracks can combine enough that the rail itself can fracture well before it’s service life tonnage.

To fix this you have to tamp ballast every X number of tons, grind the railhead every Y tons, and replace the ballast every Z tons .etc

Basically every part of the permanent way is some kind of wear item that needs maintenance. Mind you, only mainline track needs to be perfect. As long as speed limits are low enough along with an inspection, you can run on degraded secondary rails or spurs safely. It just wears it out even faster.

It’s like carcinization, the tendency for everything to evolve into a crab body plan.

Railinization? The tendency for every hare brained tech idea that touches transportation to evolve into railroads?

The issue is you need to grind the tracks multiple times a year on busy routes, along with ballast tamping or replacement. That’s set by total gross tonnage not by a set time span, and these maintenance items are not optional. Tamping prevents pumping and rail fatigue which can be catastrophic if you allow it to degrade and suddenly fail. Rail grinding removes microcracks created by fatigue due to every wheel passing over it. Grinding deletes the cracks, but if you leave it for too long the cracks grow and can total the rail. 10 minutes per panel is a long time when you need to maintain tens of thousands of kms of track.

Even a short distance between two towns is a maintenance headache. It could take weeks to remove the panels entirely and that’s before you get started doing maintenance at all… All you’ve accomplished is removing a maintenance obstacle you put there in the first place. Then you have to put it all back when you’re done…

A railroad typically spends 1-3% of the entire cost to build a km of track just to maintain it every year. That’s a big operating cost that eats into rail budgets already (part of why I believe they should all be nationalized to better align public incentives with a natural monopoly but that’s beyond this conversation.)

For reference, most rail costs around $1-3 million per km to build, $5-10 million or more within urban areas due to land acquisition. Typical railroad maintenance is somewhere around $10 000-$30 000 per km per year with unrestricted access. 20 mins round trip per panel (probably half an hour with deadtime between panels moving tools and gear) that’s a massive amount of increasedl about costs and service interruption.

I’m interested to see how it impacts maintenance for the permanent way. I don’t think it helps at all… Reballasting, tamping, changing sleepers, railhead grinding .etc all need to go places where these panels are, so now you have to remove them, do your maintenance, and put them back?

Instead they just put it in a place where they have to be disconnected and removed to reballast or tamp the permanent way, or for railhead grinding, or for sleeper replacement, or for any maintenance task that needs access between the tracks…

Ancient Chinese recording that half the world died in a minor scuffle so pwease Mr. Emperor I pwomise my taxes will be low for the next 10 years because they all died 🥺

I always thought it would be from fire pits reducing ore into metal. Suddenly your firepit rocks have little beads of copper metal in them for some reason. Cause and effect again.

Also this is like mandating printers that can’t print pictures of dicks
