  • Do you have any idea what your hardware is actually pulling from the outlet? Maybe it's not that bad after all?

    Mine is pulling around 55W from the wall in its "normal" state. Meaning two 3.5" HDDs spun up, and a bunch of light services running. Which is squarely in "not great, not terrible" territory.

    Apart from flipping the power saver switch on the mainboard I haven't done anything to save power. I haven't checked if that's doing anything either. It's a 3rd gen core i5 iirc, which isn't great at idle power consumption, so maybe that switch is doing something...

    I also haven't had any luck with getting the drives to spin down reliably anyways, and afaik it's better for them to just stay spinning so I haven't bothered much to change that.

  • Yeah, imagine open source control electronics though.

    Similar to 3d printers, then we could have microcontrollers and it'd still be repairable.

  • I've yet to ride a carbon frame for any amount of real distance, so idk how good they actually are.

    But having a less harsh ride can also be archived by not using the thinnest pizza cutter tires at 10 bar. Especially if we care about time ridden and not avg. speed.

    And it's going to be slightly harder to get the same speed out of comfy tires, so that's also more exercise.

  • That would only work if I'm the only one using my hosted stuff, but can't really expect non tech ppl to deal with stuff like that.

    They already struggle with the little 2fa they have to use. Introducing yet another system is too much to ask.

  • Still feels like I'm doing too little, but kinda hate 2fa.

    And I kinda don't want to know if complex passwords and low retries before an account gets locked out are enough.

  • Only if you care about security, which you should ofc.

  • So there's no sky bears in Antarctica then?

  • They must've really done a number on you, huh?

  • I feel, for the hard to replace stuff an interstate bridge in a dense city for example, aiming for a three digit life span should be considered.

    Just because it kinda sucks having to replace infrastructure like that. And the city is most likely still going to be there and need that infrastructure.

  • Maybe whoever made this didn't consider them as land?

    Edit: Although they only specify "Oceans" for the area of water, which excludes the mentioned other bodies of water. Idk...

  • I once did a whole bunch of research looking into turning my old gaming laptop into a Nas/Homeserver.

    And buying the supporting hardware to get more than the three SATA ports it had (mcpie adapter and SATA card and a power supply) would have been more jank and expensive than buying a used desktop in a big case and using that instead.

    I'd say it does make sense, the only thing I lost is power efficiency, but I'm trying to not think too hard about that :D

    With the right software most consumer hardware can be a decent server, although not having ECC ram kinda sucks. Usually most motherboards have enough SATA ports for a few drives and if not, just add a PCIE card that does.

  • even unzipped folders

    That sounds super interesting, does it keep the folder structure intact? Because having to zip a folder to be able to download a folder with its structure intact is super annoying.

    Edit: Oh it's just for uploading, still very cool though.

  • Which one? I have an i3 mega s (I think that's the name) and it's pretty basic and slow, but built relatively well. After however many hours of printing some of the bearings have failed, but they were easy and cheap to replace.

  • In theory an infinite amount of different waveforms. But practically speaking, no one would be able to distinguish them by ear, and even oscilloscopes have limited resolution.

    Music is super complex and can't even be described by a single or a few waveforms, unless it's very simple. Another simplified way to explain all the sounds of music fitting on one "waveform" is to imagine the high frequency stuff happening in between the low frequency stuff. And usually the different instruments and voices don't happen all at once, they happen slightly one after another, or in sync but intentionally so they affect each other the "right" way. Whatever the "right" way is...

  • Sounds really cool and useful, but wouldn't we also need non planar slicing and maybe a 4th axis for the full potential?

  • I'd write it down / take photos just in case... But also remember being able to swap SATA cables without anything breaking. It's been a while since I had to fiddle with the hardware though, so that memory isn't super reliable.

  • Tbh, reasoning and thinking is hard work, even if you learned how to.

    And it's getting increasingly harder to find reliable information, so you have to check the sources of your sources. And at some point down the rabbit hole stuff gets real complex, and maybe, you still haven't figured out what's true...

    So the layman has to trust someone, and in our age of disinformation, someone isn't necessarily trustworthy. So between the day to day struggles and constant indoctrination, I get why people just hear what they want to hear. Still doesn't excuse it though.

  • Germany's Craigslist equivalent.

    Sometimes you have to be patient for the good deals to show up. And usually there is no shipping. So some hidden cost in transportation and time may exist.

  • I bought my printer used, it only cost me 50€. Although I had to replace a bearing in the extruder.

    Depending on the offers in your area that might be an option. Or I just got very lucky who knows...
