you could get a magnetizer and run it through that a few times. even something cheap like this should do the trick: https://ebay.us/m/18o4zx

magnets just lose their strength over time and repeated use. the Samsung flip phones use magnets to detect when it’s open or closed, and a lot of the time they’ll lose strength and the phone won’t detect that’s it been opened or closed. I have pretty much that exact magnetizer and I run the magnets through that a time or two and everything starts working again lol. I assume the same concept should work for you.

my hard drives…

I haven’t looked at that GitHub but I’m familiar with most of the terms so here goes (verify them if you wish, I can’t promise full accuracy).

portable file server with accelerated resumable uploads: portable most likely means it’s easy to transfer from one server to another should you ever upgrade servers or anything else. resumable means you can pause the transfers if you desire.

dedup: it will automatically deduplicate files. so if you upload the same file twice it will just use the one you previously uploaded, saving space.

webdav is for distributed authoring and versioning. I don’t know a crazy amount about it but assume it means there’s some code in place that aids with collaboration as far as sending a file, working on it, and reuploading goes.

ftp: file transfer protocol.

tftp: trivial file transfer protocol. good for small things but iirc it’s not inherently secure

zerconf: plug and play. no messing with configs needed.

media indexer/all in one file: most likely indexes media uploaded and stores the generated thumbnails in one big file. most likely this is so it’ll be easier to transfer the install to another server if needed (you can move one big file containing all the thumbnails instead of a bunch of tiny ones).

no deps: no dependencies, everything you need is self contained in that repo.

again, double check things your curious about but that’s my interpretation of what most would agree is kind of just a keyword filled description lol

can’t pronounce the name of this song itself, but there’s this Japanese band called glim spanky that has some absolutel bangers.

according to that page the issue stemmed from an underlying system responsible for health checks in load balancing servers.

how the hell do you fuck up a health check config that bad? that’s like messing up smartd.conf and taking your system offline somehow

almost done re setting everything up after a catastrophic failure (ended up replacing multiple drives, the CPU, the motherboard, the psu, and the ram).

now I’m just running long command after long command, waiting for drives to zero, ensuring extended smart checks pass on new drives, cloning to my backup drives…

this things been down for a few weeks and I’m so excited to have it back up soon!

anyways, moral of the story is, the 3-2-1 strategy is a good strategy for a lot of reasons. just do it, it may save your ass down the line.

coffee and weed

depends on the job. shitty jobs I won’t give two weeks especially if there’s already animosity from management (which has lead to some pretty entertaining quitting stories). most I’ll do for something like that is ask my coworkers if they think they can get by without me (assuming I also liked the coworkers).

if it’s a job I liked, I typically give notice via email and then go and bring it up in person to the recipient as well.

yes. I think a lot of people can. the thing is, the people who can won’t be the runs running for office

definitely c. you ever seen shitty weed packaging thats an obvious reference to Rick and Morty, trump, etc? looks like that culture has made its way to cocaine now

Mexican and middle eastern and I’d die happy

we’re in a thread about a script that can download and activate windows editions in place for free…

it shouldn’t, but years of lobbying and demonization online certainly have made it so

very similar to rule 34 in terms of content. I haven’t been on it in ages tho so I can’t speak for it as of late. if I had to guess it’s probably had an influx of AI slop that’s causing issues, other online image boards have been suffering from that as well.

nice project! I’ll check it out! I’ve also really enjoyed your replies here. it’s obvious you really know your stuff. thanks!

wow that’s insanely impressive! I haven’t seen any of those chips in the wild yet so I wasn’t aware of it. super cool stuff

I mean, a few years ago we had 1ghz CPUs with a 60w TDP. now you can do 3 or 4 or sometimes even more with the same tdp. it’s not all about the power.

I had an air bubble in my brain and an orbital floor fracture (and I shattered my sphenoid) after a bike accident. when I moved, I could both hear and feel the trickle of air moving around in my own brain. it didn’t really hurt (or if it did I was in enough other pain not to notice) but it was one of the oddest sensations ever.

wear helmets y’all.

a proper hobbyist setup, well done!

or just change the folder ownership to whatever user you use in the container, but don’t give them write access. that’s how I do it so I can still edit my media as root.
