- Comment on Proxmox Plex Hardware Acceleration 2 days ago:
FWIW I did this with jellyfin and ended up just using a vm instead of lxc. This way I could just pass the entire device through, not have to mess with drivers in my proxmox host, and not have to reboot all my vms/lxc just to apply updates.
- Comment on What is there to know about magnetic storage mediums? 3 days ago:
This guy made his own floppy and managed to write / read from it. It’s an interesting watch.
- Comment on How does streaming compare to "analog"? 1 week ago:
I would counter that it takes significantly more power to provide someone with internet compared to a broadcast antenna.
Google tells me a low power tv antenna broadcasts at around 2.3kw. I’ve deployed datacenters full of racks where each rack pulls more than that. Once you take into account all the networking gear around the world, the internet easily requires more resources. Routers, switches and servers can be pretty power hungry.
- Comment on Signal announces a backup feature that includes 100MB of storage for texts and the last 45 days' worth of media for free, or 100GB of storage for $1.99/month 1 week ago:
I don’t think signal data is included in system backups unless your device is rooted. You’d have to go into signal and back it up explicitly.
I just turned this feature on.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x09 "Terrarium" 1 week ago:
First good episode of the season IMHO.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x06 "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" 4 weeks ago:
Solid ep, but I thought the whole phone line thing was stupid.
I like that they have fun with the show, but I wish they would do it less frequently. It feels too silly at times.

- Comment on Budget small (ish) case for a nas. 1 month ago:
Fractal design, node case. One of them is a cube that takes 8x 3.5 and microatx. I used one for years and it was great.
- Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds 1 month ago:
Pretty clickbait title to compare a lab speed to average internet. I’m sure it’s several million times faster than average Japanese internet too.
- Comment on Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks 1 month ago:
Most of the stuff people print, is crap that will go in the garbage in a week. I get it, I went through that phase when I got my printer too.
If you learn how to design your own stuff, suddenly it becomes a really useful tool.
- Comment on tchncs.de is powered by donations 2 months ago:
cosocial.ca/about does this for their mastodon, it’s an interest concept and one I think worth considering.
- Comment on phone stand in PETG with drooping overhangs 2 months ago:
I’d print it on the side, will make it stronger anyways. Less likely to lose layer adhesion

Probably fermenting sugars turning into alcohol.
- Comment on Monitoring network devices 2 months ago:
Observium is an easy starting point for network gear, without going down the Zabbix rabbit hole.
Personally I just roll Victoriametrics and Grafana.
- Comment on Be aware that buying electrical items from Ali Express might not be too clever. 2 months ago:
Oddly this doesn’t deter me at all, but I don’t buy mains connected components off aliexpress.
- Comment on Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1% 2 months ago:
That’s called plastic surgery, rather than cosmetic. Cosmetic is specifically to improve your appearance. Plastics include a lot of reconstructive work.

- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 3 months ago:
I may be biased, but lemmy.ca is pretty great
- Comment on Wait, that game is still playable online? 3 months ago:
Subspace, also known as Continuum later in its life.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Oh man I thought that was the needle, not a toothpick. Suddenly this makes sense.
The toothpick is to provide spacing for the button, then you pull it out as you wrap the thread around underneath it.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Flying into a thunderstorm isn’t forbidden, it’s just not a good idea and generally avoided. Planes are designed to take a lightning strike without issue, I’ve been on a plane that was struck.
- Comment on How do we avoid the next airport disaster like Newark? An expert says 6G could be the solution 4 months ago:
Wireless is not the answer. Multiple redundant fiber paths are. This isn’t rocket science.
- Comment on WTF why my filament exploded? 4 months ago:
Was it left open + maybe in a humid area? Brittle usually means wet filament.
- Comment on Ideal Business Stack? 4 months ago:
You could do something like nextcloud to solve a lot of issues, but I’d still hesitate to recommend on-prem hardware and managing hardware yourself. It really comes down to the business tolerance for outages though, maybe the computers being down for a day or two doesn’t matter.
- Comment on Ideal Business Stack? 4 months ago:
Are you providing a support contract long term? Are you backed by multiple people in case you’re away and their business is down?
I’d strongly suggest deferring to a local business IT services company, unless you’re an active partner in the business. They should find a company they are comfortable with and trust, then use the products they recommend and are comfortable with.
- Comment on The fastest bicycle in history is the stationary bike on the ISS. 5 months ago:
The iss speed is relative to earth. The earth speed is probably relative to the sun. There’s no common frame of reference between the two numbers.
- Comment on I don’t know what to do with this coworker. 5 months ago:
Escalate to your manager. She’s not performing her duties, and if she’s not capable anymore then her duties need to reflect that.
