If Google had a baby she would drop it on its head spike it at the ground

Thank you! That makes much more sense.

ELI5…?

I’ve got 3D pipes running on my spare Win10 machine :) fills me with nostalgia every time I see it, even still

I’ve tried out FreeCAD and it’s decent - but it’s really tough to get a hang of. Ondsel has a bit of a better interface imo and is based directly off of FreeCAD. Maybe give either of those a shot?

Shitty k8s cluster/space heater?

ELI5 what does this mean for the average Linux user? I run a few Ubuntu 22.04 systems (yeah yeah, I know, canonical schmanonical) - but they aren’t bleeding edge, so they shouldn’t exhibit this vulnerability, right?

You definitely aren’t alone… maybe they should’ve spent even more money on marketing? Lol

I am probably dumb… but explain?

I suppose it’s just a regional joke. I immediately knew of bounty the paper towel brand but had to look up “bounty the chocolate bar”. I’m from the USA.

If you’re not running with a battery, the maximum wattage of the charging brick should be shown on the brick itself. Either that or you can calculate it with P=I*V (amps * volts). That won’t give you what the laptop draws on average (likely much less than the calculated value) but it will give you a maximum.

Even if you were able to make your own PCB and somehow solder everything onto it, one of the things that makes complex boards like motherboards so tough to make is signal path lengths. Ever see how some of the traces on motherboards are squiggly and take up more space than the straight ones? That isn’t just for fun - all of the traces have to be incredibly specific lengths for a whole number of reasons, including signal timing and interference with other traces.

“We set a goal and then proceeded to do absolutely nothing fundamentally to actually stay within that goal, and now we’re absolutely shocked that we’ve smashed past our boundaries and are destroying our planet”

Gotta love the mega-corps. We’re fucked, lmao

Doesn’t look like they’re pulling off of anything to me… just looks like diagonal nails

Where is it? Give it to me now

Amazing, factorio is the greatest

Quick note - HGST enterprise drives are great but those fuckers are LOUD. I’ve had one in my PC for a number of years and it’s done great, pretty quick too - but I can hear it across the room.

Hmm, well that’s good to hear, about the whole Tailscale thing. I was a bit confused on how that’s actually interacting with the internet. I suppose that even though I can access the stuff from anywhere, I do need the account to actually do so.

To your point about SSH keys - could you elaborate a bit more? I am familiar with SSH in that it exists, but past that, the whole key thing is a bit of a black box (which is part of this whole thing… to learn more about it!)

Lemmy instance would be cool - my biggest concern there is the whole issue Lemmy had w/ CP a few months ago where one person posts it & of course, due to how the fediverse works, that gets downloaded onto everyone’s servers. Seems like it could be a problem.

Otherwise - I do have quite a load of experience on the hardware-side of things, and do love me a good setup. It was more of “I know I’ll do things with it, I just don’t know exactly what just yet”, and after years of lusting after something like this, I’ve finally got the capital to pull it off. Plus a handful of really good deals I got, of course.

I got the server crazy cheap & couldn’t pass up the offer. Figured I’d throw some needlessly powerful CPUs in it because why not, lol. Power isn’t actually nearly as bad as I said… looks like it’d cost ~$40/month to run. Which is way more reasonable.

Drives-wise, they’re all SSDs. So more energy-efficient by a long shot, which is nice.
