  • I was coding around 8 in logo & dos qbasic, then later on Lego mindstorms.

  • Also if you sign into the Microsoft cloud, your bit locker keys are backed up there.

  • Wa is IO Wait. CPU time burned spent waiting for disk

    Hi is hardware irq, similar concept but for hardware devices.

  • I try to do it every time I refill them, but realistically it's every second or third time

  • I used to run it on about 800 prod boxes and we provided the hosting for the Gentoo forums. It'll always have a soft spot in my heart, but even with us using binary packages I won't miss how long emerge takes.

  • Everyone says this every time us-east-1 goes down, in 3 months it'll be forgotten.

  • Boot a clonezilla or Linux CD, don't use your windows install. It should have proper USB support as long as you actually have USB ports.

  • Why would you have to wash your face before eating? Or brush your teeth? You can do it after.

  • 20 minutes, thanks to my dog. If not for him I'd easily go days.

    Highly recommend dogs. 100% worth it.

  • My cat routinely jumps from a table onto my hot tub lid.

    One day he did it while the tub was open and we were in it. Realized his mistake way too late and tried to stop on the edge, but went face first into the water

  • Yes as long as the total power draw (watts / amps) doesn't exceed the controller or the power supply you're using.

    You could plug two in even if there were only one set of terminals. You're wiring them in parallel.

  • Costco sells vac sealers and bags.

  • I have all my home infra on one beefy box, except for two things. These are services that I deem critical enough that I don't want them to have an outage at the same time as anything else.

    Opnsense gets a dedicated mini firewall pc, and Home Assistant runs on an old intel nuc

  • They stored people in quark's holosuites in that ds9 episode

  • FWIW I did this with jellyfin and ended up just using a vm instead of lxc. This way I could just pass the entire device through, not have to mess with drivers in my proxmox host, and not have to reboot all my vms/lxc just to apply updates.

  • I would counter that it takes significantly more power to provide someone with internet compared to a broadcast antenna.

    Google tells me a low power tv antenna broadcasts at around 2.3kw. I've deployed datacenters full of racks where each rack pulls more than that. Once you take into account all the networking gear between the server and the consumer, , the internet easily requires more resources. Routers, switches and servers can be pretty power hungry.

  • First good episode of the season IMHO.
