I have my phone always in Do Not Disturb. That's it.

It is not possible to zoom in, as far as I can see (mobile, but tested desktop). [Edit] This allows zooming [1]. [1]: https://2b2tatlas.com/map

I invested quite a bit in enterprises level homelab equipment 2020 to 2025 (about 10k). Happy I made it before the big bang. Eg. my SAS he8 drives will last at least till 2035. But what then? I want my children to be free, too.

Yes, manual. It is very rare to find automatic cars of that age in Europe.

Electronics don't usually last for more than 30 years. Pre-2007 cars can be driven for that long because they had minimal electronics and relatively oversized manufacturing. This was because managers hadn't yet taken charge of red

Our VW T4 from 2002 has 300k km on it. I consider this half it's total possible mileage, if not less. I wish they would still build reliable cars like these today.

What I found pretty great with docker is isolating individual docker systemd instances in rootless linux namespaces (i.e. users). I wrote about this here [1]. This lets you easily create multiple services on one VM that are quite isolated f

I had the feeling they didn't really answer the questions, that is why the goblins appeared. They simply "retired the “Nerdy” personality" because they couldn't fix it and went on.

I added an Zenko Scality CloudServer S3-compatible Storage backend to a selfhosted Grist [1] instance. This allowed me to create forms with attachements in Grist (e.g. users can upload photos). I experimented with several and settled on Zen

The comparison pictures look like there is more dust in the air today. They don't explain this effect, so I assume it is related to time of day the photo was taken, or camera settings, not actual dust accumulation compared to 1972. How

You mean via WebDav? That is definitly an option, but then it is not possible anymore to mix working file directories within Nextcloud. E.g. I have a long list of ignored files for nextcloud [1], such as .git folder etc. I would need to cre

I found virtual files support also somewhat critical. This is not really stable on Linux yet and makes using Nextcloud with 8TB and Million of files pretty difficult.

I think nowadays the only safe and sane way is running Windows isolated as a VM (e.g. QEMU on proxmox). I did this with my gaming server. The VM sits on ZFS which I can snapshot before any Microsoft stuff happens, to revert any action. I ca

I use ZFS even on consumer devices, these days. Parity checks all the way!
45.
by Helmut10001 7mo ago
Thanks for the details. I agree and had the same experience, trying to figure out if an AMB motherboard supports ECC or not. It is almost impossible to know ahead of trying it. At least we have ZFS now for parity checks on cold storage.

Interesting, I was not aware! Do you have a statistics for the bit flips in RAM %? My feeling would be its the majority of bit flips that happen, but I can be wrong.
47.
by Helmut10001 7mo ago
I don't understand why ECC memory is not the norm these days. It is only slightly more expensive, but solves all these problems. Some consumer mainboards even support it already.

I don't browse US newspapers that often, but I regularly observe blocked ones, particularly smaller ones. Non-deterministic, e.g.: New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, Dallas Morning News, Virginian-Pilot. Beyond that,

by Helmut10001 8mo ago
This is somewhat counterintuitive: The US is the only country I know where most newspapers and government services use strict geoblocks to prevent me from accessing US sites in Europe. Conversely, I've never had any problems accessing

I agree. I think some of us would rather deal with small, incremental problems than address the big, high-level roadmap. High-level things are much more uncertain than isolated things that can be unit-tested. This can create feelings of inc

It looks like using Chocolatey [1] saved me from this attack vector because maintainers hardcode SHA256 checksums (and choco doesn't use WinGuP at all). [1]: https://chocolatey.org/

Could electrical resistance be measured in train tracks to monitor sudden drops, such as fractures, before they cause loss of life?

Yes, this is also how JupyterBook [1] does it (I think v1 uses Myst Markdown parser). I found this to work excellent! [1]: https://jupyterbook.org/

Interestingly, there are about 100 events of this severity (G4) per cycle, and a single cycle lasts 11 years. This means there are about nine G4 events on average per year.

You are absolutely correct. Suspicious was the wrong word and I did not mean to criticize the author or the work.

San Francisco looks nice, but there seems to be a problem with the projection in some of the sample images. It looks as if it isn't UTM but a global sphere projection, which isn't suitable for local renders. It's suspicious t

What you say is correct. Except: As the AC battery was installed four years after the PV system, I did have to register it separately with the grid operator, which included creating a new entry in the Martstammdatenregister. In other words,

Yes, sorry. I think it is a battery policy regulation in Germany that prevents >800W.

by Helmut10001 9mo ago
Yes! However, we are not allowed in Germany to use more than >800W on a Battery with a Schuko Plug, without a certified electrician. Everything is regulated! :D I have been waiting for the electrician to hardwire the battery for about si
