  • The Fractal Design Define R cases can house a lot of hard drives, but they are kind of big. My Define R6 can theoretically house 11 3.5" drives iirc in addition to 4x 2.5" but it does not come with that many drive sleds out of the box. For the 2.5" drives only 2 sleds are included. I think for the 3.5" it was about 6.

  • I work in computer science (specifically in embedded software) and had a task last year where I needed to extract the pulse rate from a biosignal by detecting the signal peaks and measuring the intervals between them. Derivatives of the signal can be used for the peak detection, but I honestly did not think about this until a coworker reminded me.

    For processing any digital signal, digital filters are incredibly important. When working with them, you will be exposed to polynomials though.

    If you are interested in robotics, vectors are also quite important.

  • I sometimes wish I could retake my school math classes. I was never good at math but I feel like now that I have seen some practical applications for stuff that we were force fed back them, I could learn it much better.

  • Honestly, I'm really happy with the ability to just try out stuff with docker and then nuke the entire compose stack if it does not work. I also know perfectly where any possible leftovers from the attempt are (the bind mounts or volumes) and can be certain I deleted everything I "installed".

    Although I have to admit that I absolutely had some issues with containers in the past, mainly when there are two or more containers with dependencies on one another.

    Never used k8s or the cloud so I have nothing to comment on that ;D

  • [Rant] It's frustrating when models are ONLY priced with vendors in mind

    Jump

  • That's a good argument. I wasn't aware of the history of OpenWRT. For software I generally used the MIT license in the past, though I am now shying away from it given that it seems a bit too permissive in my opinion. I should probably research the GPL licenses a bit to figure out if one of those suits my needs.

  • Yes, that is unfortunately true. Better some protection than none at all though

  • I have designed a couple of things and whenever I publish them I make them CC BY-NC-SA. I don't think I have designed anything people would be interested in selling but I explicitly do not want people to mass produce and sell my stuff. There's already more than enough plastic in the world and the popularity of 3D printers and the amount of gimmicky models I have seen are not helping that issue

  • as a noob, should I connect jellyfin with tailscale using OIDC?

  • Depending on what router you use, setting up a VPN connection into your own home network may be the simplest solution and possibly also the most secure.

    In germany at least, FritzBox seems to be the dominant router and they offer a very simple VPN setup which utilizes their own domain to initiate a connection.

    I personally use a MikroTik router at home (still not sure if that was the best idea...) and they have a similar thing called Back To Home VPN. The Fritzbox gave me less trouble setting up though.

  • Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?

    Jump

  • I feel like Python is sometimes too powerful in terms of what you can achieve with few lines of code. It tends to have lines that do a lot of things at once and therefore become very hard to understand despite not having a lot of code at the surface.

    In my opinion it is very good for stuff like data analysis and scripting test setups, but (with my admittedly limited experience in the area) I dislike using it for larger applications. Because it is a scripting language and not compiled, I have run into errors that a compiled language would have detected before even starting. Meanwhile python was happy to run my program until it unfortunately branched into the defective path...

    If you want to build stuff quickly it is incredibly what you can achieve with it though.

  • What are your self–hosted alternatives for inter device communication?

    Jump

  • For phone <-> PC I use localsend. If I do PC to PC, possibly even large amounts of files or large files in general I put them on a network drive specifically intended for that purpose

  • I lost maybe 100-200 euros opening lootboxes in Counterstrike. Not at once but maybe 20 euros at a time. At some point I realized it didn't make any sense to continue buying them and I haven't spent money on microtransactions since.

  • Every time I hear politicians advocating for more children I keep thinking "you want to put even more people on this earth to use up its resources?"

    Surely having a few less humans around would be a good thing for the climate.

  • People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question)

    Jump

  • I used to be on plex for similar reasons.

    Remote login is still a hassle of course. I work around it with a VPN but that causes issues sometimes.

    Plex Amp went great for a while for me until it suddenly didn't. The app got incredibly laggy on my phone when I was playing playlists of a 1000 songs or more. I switched to navidrome + Symfonium as an alternative and set up remote access with a cloudflare tunnel.

  • I like to think I got my money out of mine as well, even though I only used it for like a year or two before switching to jellyfin.

  • Thanks for the link. I really like the sunset picture

  • I tried their editor a few times and found it a bit hard to get used to coming from VS Code. The thing that sank the ship for me honestly was when I found out that they don't support PDF previews in the editor. Given that I use VS Code to also write LaTeX documents, that is an essential feature for me that they seemed very opinionated about not including based on the issues I've seen on their git

  • My first internship I kind of landed by talking to a company representative at a career fair organized by my university and then mentionjng said guys name in my online application. Not sure how much impact that actually had but I guess it might have helped.

    My second internship I found via linkedin. I just looked for companies there that had somilar positions or actually posted internship positions and then went to their website to apply and look for possible other open positions I could send a slightly altered letter from my first application to. If a company sounded interesting but didn't have any internships on offer I sometimes just sent them an unsolicited application. Honestly I don't remember how much feedback I got on those though.

    Should be obvious but I also didn't limit myself to looking for companies close to where I lived at the time. In the end I had to move literally to the other end of the country.

  • I doubt you've heard of it honestly. It's an ADuCM355 from Analog Devices. Internally it uses an Cortex-M3.
