- Comment on Update on my plant. Unfortunately it might be sick, it has been getting worse every since I brought it home 2 weeks ago:
Do you have one of those moisture meters? They’re on amazon for $20 or a local garden store will typically have them. They’re great for checking the moisture of the soil deeper down.
Just don’t leave them in the pot or it’ll ruin it. Stick it it, check it, pull it out.
- Comment on How to fix this glass that is no longer in place? 1 month ago:
Use a knife to score the existing silicone and then pull the glass out. Use a razor blade and knife to clean up the existing silicone. Clean the surfaces well.
Get silicone bathroom caulk from home depot. Put some in the channel, put the glass back, put more along the seam. Use a wet finger to smooth it out.
Tape it in place while it cures and you’re done.
- Comment on How do I know if a medical issue should be addressed by a Clinic Visit, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room? 1 month ago:
Here in BC you can call 811 to talk to a nurse and get advice on things like this, maybe your state has something similar?

Or iridium flares

Nice job!
Just an idea: I bet you could probably squeeze in a disassembled usb hub to make it easier to get those front ports.
Something like a.aliexpress.com/_mNBftvQ

- Comment on Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc. 1 month ago:
Is that the wrong link? This seems totally unrelated to Pokemon in boxes, and is more about multi console character storage systems.

Gotta wait until palworld has made a bucket of money for Nintendo to point at, claim damages, then try to take.
- Comment on Schematic problem - It gets hot and smells like burning 2 months ago:
Long term hobby that I’m trying to now turn into a small business / online store.
- Comment on Schematic problem - It gets hot and smells like burning 2 months ago:
Thanks!
- Comment on Schematic problem - It gets hot and smells like burning 2 months ago:
STAT should have a current limiting resistor on it, go through your led, then ground.
That would make sense, but page 21 of the datasheet with a typical application shows it going to REGN.
If it’s missing the cap on REGN though, that would probably fuck this all up? I must admit I’m not good at understanding when/where caps are applied.
- Comment on Schematic problem - It gets hot and smells like burning 2 months ago:
Oooh, thanks.
Stupid schematic question for a second, when looking at this:
If the “REGN” above the LED there is just referring to the REGN pin right below, why doesn’t the line just go back down to the pin? Is this just a style thing, or does it mean something functionally different?

- Comment on Mirror seeing half the write IOPS on one disk than the other, is this normal? 2 months ago:
You could just swap the two disks and see if it follows the drive or the link.
If the drive, rma it. I don’t put a lot of faith in smart data.
- Comment on Mirror seeing half the write IOPS on one disk than the other, is this normal? 2 months ago:
Usually means a failing drive in my experience.

There’s a bit more context over at the register: theregister.com/…/rust_for_linux_maintainer_steps…
This is pretty disappointing to read.

Yeah you’re right, I totally read it backwards. 🤦
- Comment on Why do boomers hate squirrels so much? 2 months ago:
Only about 300 years, from your own link you kindly provided:
When European settlers first arrived in North America, they brought with them a number of animals that were not native to the continent. One of these animals was the eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), which was introduced to England in the early 1600s as a curiosity.
The eastern gray squirrel quickly became popular in England, where it was kept as a pet and admired for its agility and intelligence. In the late 1700s, a group of eastern gray squirrels was introduced to New York City’s Central Park, where they quickly established a population.
Over the next few decades, the eastern gray squirrel spread rapidly across North America, aided by its adaptability and ability to thrive in a variety of habitats. Today, the eastern gray squirrel is one of the most common squirrels in North America, and it can be found in every state except for Alaska and Hawaii.
- Comment on Why do boomers hate squirrels so much? 2 months ago:
Squirrels are an invasive species, they’re not native to North America. They chew wires and mess with stuff.
Birds are pretty, sound nice, and eat bugs. They also poop on everyone’s stuff, but somehow it’s good luck if you get shit on.

You know how many words in any language, are borrowed from other languages right? You just used a Japanese word when you said emoji.

Ntfs isn’t going to care or even be aware of the hypervisor FS, zfs or btrfs would both work fine.

Sigh, how long until we realize this isn’t “clean” either?

CT scans don’t use magnets.
If I need an mri, they would cut it out. If I’m unconscious they won’t use an mri, it’s too risky (what if I had shrapnel from a war wound).
- Comment on Factory Entertainment Announces Star Trek: The Next Generation's Geordi La Forge VISOR Prop Replica 2 months ago:
Why not? How often can you buy another sense?
Today I mostly forget it’s there and occasionally am surprised when I reach for a running microwave, or am near high voltage lines. It’s good for party tricks - I rub my hands together to pretend to make static electricity, then pick up coins. People then try to do it and obviously fail.

I have a magnet implant under my skin in my hand, no need to glue.

You’re not leaving any of it there, it’s all for personal use. You don’t need to declare it, it’s not “goods”.
- Comment on Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry? 2 months ago:
100% of the internet depends on it, and 90% of technical people can’t be bothered to learn how it works and understand it. Partly because they only touch it once every 5 years. They get what they need done but don’t understand why it worked, so it ends up feeling like black magic to them.
- Comment on Need help on SATA to USB 3 months ago:
Original usb ports often maxed out at 500ma. You probably won’t need the second usb on a modern system, but you will need the 12v adapter.
Also, this is the wrong community.
