It's like saying Immich is bad because you don't need to own storage or hardware for Google Photos. I know that. But it's not a valid point of discussion when talking about open source self hosted software.

Also, you don't need to open any ports. Just use tailscale. If you're a bit more technically savvy, set up a reverse proxy. It's honestly not that hard. Tailscale is just an app that you install. Why is everyone acting like it's complicated? Am I missing something?

This is a new one for me. Looks pretty sleek.

Yeah, easily the best one I've used on TV; that's for sure. I found it randomly on some forum a few months ago.

Love it. It's a shame that Wim Wenders is a douche tho.

Edit: I had forgotten about the soundtrack. Just gave it a listen. It reminds me a lot of another one of my favorites, Cat Sticks.

If you're on Android TV (I guess Fire TV works as well), try out Wholphin. It's miles ahead of the official TV app. Also, Findroid works great on mobile.

Everyday I realize that I don't hate capitalism enough.

Maybe they didn't come to Stephen Hawkins' party because they found out that he was a pedo.

Depends, honestly. Understand what the person feels comfortable with. Apart from a few close friends and family (and sometimes the list can get even smaller), I don't really want to be touched when I'm sad. Either listen to my rant, or if I'm being silent maybe leave me alone for a bit.

Anyway, just try to be mindful. I feel kinda annoyed by this one-size-fits-all approach to human interactions. It depends on the person, their culture, your relationship to them, the nature of the sorrow, and many other factors.

I'm about to get a PhD in math, and I am not the best at mental arithmetic either. I used to be really bad, but teaching has forced me to improve by a lot. It was very annoying for me to go back and forth between my notes/computer and the blackboard whenever there was a big multiplication, so I just slowly got better at doing it in my head. Also, it had the added benefit of letting me improvise more.

My college roommate got insanely good at it when he set an alarm on his phone that required him to do some calculation before he could turn it off. After about one semester, he was doing those half asleep lol. I think he finally decided on an alarm that would need him to walk outside and scan a QR code to turn off.

Just look around.

Some people simply can't see women having any authority in their life. It's the same with JD's wife, or until recently, Erika Kirk. I think it's a form of misogyny. These are not "poor little women" stuck with their husbands. They know exactly what they wanted, and they got it. They're also pieces of shit.

 

We're so back!

I have an old laptop that I'd like to get rid of. I've repurposed its SSD and RAM. It has an HDD on it, but it's so old, that it probably shouldn't be used anymore. A screw doesn't fit properly, so the chassis is a bit bumpy on one corner. But it works just fine. (Has an 8th gen i7 in it.)

I already have home-servers etc., so I just want to get rid of it. What's the most ethical way of doing it?

I'm currently living somewhere in southern USA, if that's relevant.

Hi, I bought a used Dell constellation HDD from eBay. Here's the link for the listing.

It's supposed to be tested by them, but when I received it, it didn't spin up. I tried putting it inside my Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 Tiny, and also tried using an external SATA to USB adapter, but none of them work.

Now, it's a bit weird and different from the usual HDDs. It's 2.5 inch, but thicker than usual, 7200 RPM, and is supposed to be enterprise grade. So maybe I'm doing something wrong, and need a special adapter for it. Or it can be a faulty drive. I'm not sure. If anyone has experience with these drives, please let me know if I should be doing something different. Thanks.

Edit: I came to the conclusion that the drive is faulty. I contacted the seller, and was given a refund.

I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 Tiny (10FL) which has been working fine. Recently, I had an HDD failure, and replaced it with an SSD. This time, I decided to go with ZFS (single drive, kinda pointless, but I get scrubbing). Every once in a while, I'm getting errors while scrubbing. It's always 1-2 read or write errors. And it never reappears if I clear the error and run another scrub.

The data isn't important, and it's backed up, so I'm not too worried about it. But, the symptoms make me think that it's an issue of the SATA port inside? Is it possible to replace the SATA port inside this device. I wasn't able to find anything like part number etc. online and it looks like I need to replace the whole board. Any help is appreciated.

I'm sorry but I'm frustrated by the blatant misuse of AI by my students and colleagues alike. It's so obvious when they don't understand what they've written.

Sure, playing chess needs intelligence, dedication, and good chess players are smarter than an average person. But it's waaaay exaggerated in movies. I'm a math researcher, and in any movie, my department will be full of chess geniuses. But in reality, only about 10% of them even play chess.

 

I'm trying to pull manual shots from my Breville Bambino, and it simply isn't working. I'm following the steps in the manual. (Press and hold the double-shot button for pre-infusion, then release it for the extraction to start, and then press again to stop.) The issue is, the machine stops midway, before I press the button. Seems like it's doing the pre-programmed double shot volume, and stopping after that. Does anyone has experience pulling manual shots from this machine? Should I contact Breville for a repair?

Edit: It fixed itself after performing a factory reset.
