- Comment on Western Digital Has No More HDD Capacity Left, as CEO Reveals Massive AI Deals; Brace Yourself For Price Surges Ahead! 1 week ago:
even flashdrives have gotten more expensive
- Comment on Thanks a lot, AI: Hard drives are already sold out for the entire year, says Western Digital 1 week ago:
AI doesn’t necessarily use ddr tho, they stick to HBM which is a different thing entirely.
- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 2 weeks ago:
I know a dude who has had me fix 2 separate 800$+ DACS and then listens to only YouTube music rips on his 500$ headphones through the DACS. he swears his 1300$ setup makes a difference on his 128kbps aac YouTube downloads…

that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen lol. I’d love the know how audiophiles think ssds work if they think this could actually make a difference.
- Comment on ESL homework 2 weeks ago:
in college calc classes, my handwriting is famously quite poor. I’d scribble down some illegible notes and formulas, draw a few pictures illustrating the problem, then come up with a random answer. most of my classes graded work, not correct answers, so if I had an inkling of the right way to do it I could fake it and usually get at least 75% credit for the question.
always hated the questions that make you use the answer from previous questions. always a good time when you get to the end and have a nonsensical answer and have to redo 4 pages to find where you forgot to carry a 1.

what’s the game?
- Comment on I made a way to remotely control my homelab without any internet access required 3 weeks ago:
really cool idea. ty for sharing!
- Comment on send pics 3 weeks ago:
totally agree, I just mention it cause a lot of people put a lot more worth on it then they should. ime shops that advertise being authorized are more scummy then the average 3rd party repair shop.
- Comment on send pics 3 weeks ago:
idk, I’ve fixed a lot of phones that people take into baths or showers. constant exposure will wear down the seals and there’s a reason they’re water resistant not waterproof. plus if you’ve ever had any repair done even by an authorized provider that water resistance goes out the window.

- Comment on Bell Labs 'Unix' Tape from 1974 Successfully Dumped to a Tarball 2 months ago:
my grandmother was a programmer at bell in the early 60s and 70s. really curious if she had hands on any of this. wish she was still around to ask lol.
you only realize how cool your grandparents were after they’re gone.
- Comment on Don't do it 2 months ago:
something thats helped me a lot is remembering that recovery isn’t a linear path.
if you’re driving from New York to California, then make an unplanned stop in Nebraska, you aren’t back in New York. you just gotta deal with the fact you’re in Nebraska and move on.
you got this. stay strong.
- Comment on HDD prices spike as AI infrastructure and China's PC push collide — hard drives record biggest price increase in eight quarters, suppliers warn pressure will continue 2 months ago:
my HDD with 80k power on hours is gonna have to keep kicking for now I guess
- Comment on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates 2 months ago:
they’ll try to get bailed out but you would have to bail out so many companies it’s not feasible. you cant just bail out one of these companies. they all propped their stock value up on each other, so unless you bail out every company in the tech sector, there will still be trillions of market cap wiped out.
this is a good thing though. it will mostly only affect those who are overly invested in ultimately unprofitable tech, and the rest of us will be able to buy cheap stock for companies affected like Google and Amazon that will be hit massively but obviously are not just gonna go out of business. it’s similar to the covid drop. sucked for rich people but for the average person it wasn’t a massive issue and even had money making opportunities attached to it as these big companies scrambled.

don’t give me ideas
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
yes many do. I’m a college student and between classes and work 60 hours is pretty normal for most of us during the semester.
now once you add a social life, family, etc on top it becomes almost impossible pretty quick.
- Comment on YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port. 3 months ago:
you could get a magnetizer and run it through that a few times. even something cheap like this should do the trick: ebay.us/m/18o4zx
magnets just lose their strength over time and repeated use. the Samsung flip phones use magnets to detect when it’s open or closed, and a lot of the time they’ll lose strength and the phone won’t detect that’s it been opened or closed. I have pretty much that exact magnetizer and I run the magnets through that a time or two and everything starts working again lol. I assume the same concept should work for you.
- Comment on What is a good self-hosted solution for sharing files with friends? 3 months ago:
I haven’t looked at that GitHub but I’m familiar with most of the terms so here goes (verify them if you wish, I can’t promise full accuracy).
portable file server with accelerated resumable uploads: portable most likely means it’s easy to transfer from one server to another should you ever upgrade servers or anything else. resumable means you can pause the transfers if you desire.
dedup: it will automatically deduplicate files. so if you upload the same file twice it will just use the one you previously uploaded, saving space.
webdav is for distributed authoring and versioning. I don’t know a crazy amount about it by assume it means there’s some code in place that aids with collaboration as far as sensing a file, working on it, and reuploading goes.
ftp: file transfer protocol.
tftp: trivial file transfer protocol. good for small things but iirc it’s not inherently secure
zerconf: plug and play. no messing with configs needed.
media indexer/all in one file: most likely indexes media uploaded and stores the generated thumbnails in one big file. most likely this is so it’ll be easier to transfer the install to another server if needed (you can move one big file containing all the thumbnails instead of a bunch of tiny ones).
no deps: no dependencies, everything you need is self contained in that repo.
again, double check things your curious about but that’s my interpretation of what most would agree is kind of just a keyword description lol
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 4 months ago:
almost done re setting everything up after a catastrophic failure (ended up replacing multiple drives, the CPU, the motherboard, the psu, and the ram).
now I’m just running long command after long command, waiting for drives to zero, ensuring extended smart checks pass on new drives, cloning to my backup drives…
this things been down for a few weeks and I’m so excited to have it back up soon!
anyways, moral of the story is, the 3-2-1 strategy is a good strategy for a lot of reasons. just do it, it may save your ass down the line.
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 6 months ago:
it shouldn’t, but years of lobbying and demonization online certainly have made it so
- Comment on Australian anti-porn group claims responsibility for Steam's new censorship rules in victory against 'porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists', and things only get weirder from there 6 months ago:
very similar to rule 34 in terms of content. I haven’t been on it in ages tho so I can’t speak for it as of late. if I had to guess it’s probably had an influx of AI slop that’s causing issues, other online image boards have been suffering from that as well.

- Comment on goodbye plex 7 months ago:
or just change the folder ownership to whatever user you use in the container, but don’t give them write access. that’s how I do it so I can still edit my media as root.

- Comment on How to get rid of swollen batteries? 8 months ago:
you cannot recycle li ion batteries “normally”. you should remove the battery from the phone and dispose of it as soon as possible. best buy, target, and some other techy stores take them, so call around. phone repair shops should also be able to help. a conductive container is also a bad idea. airtight plastic is the way to go if you’re that concerned about it, however once it’s removed from the device you can realistically keep it in any nonconductive container and you’ll be fine.

that’s because they asked to get kicked in the nuts by saying shit like “getting kicked in the nuts is more painful then giving birth”
