  • Seriously, we don't give a shit, if we have enough to eat and buy some fun toys we're thrilled to keep up our mad experiments.

  • Last week got my new epyc server with GPU running ollama and all the trimmings.

    This week linked my 2 home bases with wire guard, all the subnets mesh and the wifi isolation is solid. Performance is surprisingly good considering they're 9 time zones apart on different hemispheres.

    Migrating plex to jellyfin to get hw accel working.

    Also trying to get my second base multiple statics and 10gb if possible, rural fiber in Europe is unbelievably aweome, hope to drop Comcast business back home if it works.

    Got someone to work with on a new company, so that's part of this, though my day job relies on this too.

  • Doing that switch soon.

    Plex doesn't do hw accel well, which kind of defeats the purpose.

  • Same, except the irc, I have a python thing to interface.

    Stealing your idea, that sounds awesome.

  • No, the terrifying part is that we're letting it happen without getting angry, much less fighting back.

  • He was having trouble refinancing given the massive drop in revenue and valuation.

    So just make up a number and buy it off yourself.

  • Was about 17 years.

    The Russians are astroturfing hard, doing everything to justify their invasion and banning anyone who disagrees.

    No point anymore.

  • Friends of Eddie Coyle.

    "If I said I'd read it 10 times I'd be low."

  • So I remembered how the autoreverse worked on my toshiba, there was a roller on a rocker arm with a spring, when that roller displaced from tension the rocket arm triggered the action.

    I'm pretty much positive it's the spring, but you might be able to test this by finding the rocker arm and adding tension with a paper clip to see if the problem stops.

  • Np, good luck.

    I miss my old Walkman from when I was young (actually think the one I used most was a Toshiba). Favorite was a Panasonic fm radio though, still love that thing, might have it in storage actually.

    They were awesome for the time, best of luck with yours, ask if you have other questions!

  • Oh, the sensor itself could be glitching, but I kind of doubt that, the springs almost always go first.

  • If the speeds are right, that's almost a smoking gun for a weak autoreverse spring.

    You might be able to jury-rig it temporarily, I don't know this unit's design, but either remove the spring and replace it with string or wire so the autoreverse sensor can't trigger, or fix the spring itself.

    Pull it and see what kind of tension it has.

    Heat treating is the proper method to fix it, here's the directions from chatgpt, it's not wrong, usually I've just seen it kept relaxed and heated with a lighter for 10 seconds, then left to cool.

    Heat the spring to ~400–600°F (204–316°C) depending on material (e.g., music wire, stainless).

    Hold for 30 minutes.

    Let it cool slowly in air.

  • Sorry, also one of the capstans or rollers could be sticking, increasing the resistance which also signals that the tape has reached its end.

    Interesting way to confirm: Does it autoreverse both ways equally? If so it is more likely to be the spring, if not then one of the capstans or rollers or the reversed lug is sticky.

  • The mechanism for detecting autoreverse needs attention.

    Usually there's a tension spindle that detects if the tape has ended, becauaw the pulling lug pulls and theres no more tape to feed.

    Maybe the spring lost tension?

    You need more info, probably an expert, but you can retension it by removing it and twisting it while heating in a fire (doesn't work great but might be enough).

  • You know, if they also allowed the girls to get married (to older men of course), that could be the most southern headline there is.

  • ... Planing or planning?

  • Segregation academies, here we come (again)!

  • That's not something they natively support, it's hard links or a copy.
