    Homeowner Baffled After Washing Machine Uses 3.6GB of Internet Data a Day

    Jump

  • Probably could, but thats messy and out of reach for most of the general public. I'd consider myself capable, and I still haven't done it despite wanting to.

    I'd settle for appliances providing a standardised port for control/monitoring, that you can plug in your own ESP32 controller. Harder to sell to the general public.

  • Remote start is what I want personally. Timers get 90% of the way there, but if you want to run your machine when power is cheap, needs a bit more granularity. Also, end notification is one thing, but getting a "remaining time" status is also useful for the particularly lazy among us :)

  • Some Beginner Questions

    Jump

  • In theory, that is true, dual boot is good for trying stuff out. In practice, for a beginner who doesnt want to tinker, setting up dual boot is a nightmare.

    I've dual booted since fedora 4, and it hasnt gotten any easier to get it setup. The best system for beginners was ubuntus weird "install as an app, then boot into it" thing, but that no longer exists.

  • Anything that works on the steam deck should also work exactly the same on your laptop, so yes, very good indication.

    Installing on your old laptop is a good idea.

  • I just want to quickly say: You cannot permanently brick your PC with Linux. You may break your install, but you can just reinstall. Doing actual hardware damage is near impossible.

    1. Possibly not. If your happy with W11, and the direction Microsoft is going, you can definitely just keep using it.
    2. It depends. Packages from your distro, likely will work with no issues, but there is always the possibility that something gets shipped broken (which also exists for windows). Steam games, is generally good, and getting better all the time, but there are some games that definitely won't work out of the box (or at all). Check your games: https://www.protondb.com/

    To reiterate, it is impossible to do hardware damage, so you can always return back to windows if you decide its not for you. Maybe you'll love Linux, maybe not, but its very safe to try.

  • Docker of server with cli question

    Jump

  • Yeah, it runs inside the container, so that won't have access to the external filesystem's. And intermediate directory might work, but itll be a bit fiddly.

    Maybe you could supply a script that does something like:

     
        
docker cp $FILE server_container:/tmp/workfile.jpg
docker exec -it cli_tool /tmp/workfile.jpg

    Could do a reverse script as well for download?

    Edit: you can also pipe the files to stdin of the command:

    cat input.jpg | docker exec -it server_container cli_tool upload

    docker exec - it server_container cli_tool download > output.jpg

  • Docker of server with cli question

    Jump

  • How much CLI is required? Easiest to put it in the container and give instructions to use it via docker exec -it server_container clitool [args] .

    Instructions should include mount points for the DB, so it can be persisted. Providing a docker compose file is usually the best way to do that.

  • Time has somehow stopped, but you can move. What do you do?

    Jump

  • Why? You have plenty of time to work things out

    I've got a HP EliteDesk 800 G5 with Core i7 CPU and 32 GB RAM. How do you guys handle load shedding situations? I have a mini UPS for the router and ONU, and a 650V one for the mini PC. I don't think

    Jump

  • Bummer. You could get a cheap IoT light bulb/smart plug and ping it in a script, when it times out, start the shutdown. Could be a fun project.

    Jump

  • Some (most?) UPSs have a way for them to communicate to the PC so that the PC can automatically cleanly shutdown. You should look into that if its available on your UPS.

    Is there a version of being an epstein victim for boys?

    Jump

  • There was a boy who ran an underage childporn/prostitution ring, who eventually flipped an ratted everyone out. And there have been hundreds of teachers and underage boys getting caught having sex.

    The legality is (region dependant) usually the same either way.

    The tricky thing is finding, and attracting a high wealth person to entrap. So the real answer is "No, because you dont know any princesses"

  • Tech companies pledge to ready Americans for an AI-dominated world

    Jump

  • It really doesn't matter what the "training" entails, because Amazon aren't going to do it anyway. Its all lip service, and all voluntary, and all to pull the wool over the regulatory bodies eyes.

  • I guess sticking with the drug dealer metaphor, providing needles/spoons/lighters would be the equivalent.

  • What are some things for a new home owner to consider getting early on?

    Jump

  • The target here is home owners, not trades. The cheapo ozito drill I bought is half the price of a "good" one, and for the homeowner use case is plenty. Spending more on a drill would have been pissing money away.

  • a) You didn't supply a link

    b) You shouldn't entrust your tfa codes to a no-name developer.
