eat shit Nintendo.

you’re talking to a community of admins that force their family to “use the thing”. they can’t understand why anyone can’t debug tech issues because they have surrounded themselves with people who can.

I get it, my wife isn’t technical at all. she gets online about once a week to check email. I couldn’t even begin to explain to her how to debug her connection problems past turn it off and on again.

so, to simplify things, she doesn’t connect to the home network outside of the home network. but I was able to teach her how to download movies/shows from Plex to her phone and I was able to explain why ads show up on her apps when she’s out of the house.

it’s not perfect, but it’s the best I can give her with her understanding of the technology. knowing the limitations of your user base is just as important as developing the tools they will use and how they will access them.

the fact that you can shell in from your local environment is more concerning than the fact that you killed prod.

hope you aren’t supposed to hold any compliance requirements!

funny story though, you’ll use this when you’re mentoring later and some dumbass noob will still do it.

Yeah I do.

@grue@lemmy.world in !fuckcars@lemmy.world applies the rules to everyone but his friends.

I had a hottake, https://lemmy.world/comment/14282775, yesterday. you might not be able to read it since he removed all my comments and banned me, so here it is.

I’m all for protests, but please don’t block major roadways or interstates.

emergency services use the same roads and your protest will kill someone. pile up on the sides of the road, throw paint balloons in the streets, throw your shit at cars passing by. I really don’t care.

just keep the streets clear for emergency services.

his buddies started to attack me after I gave them real world examples to back up my opinion. they were rude and condescending and I responded in kind.

when I got back on all my responses were deleted for being “uncivil”. so I reported all their comments that were uncivil and condescending or mocking. waited like 3 or 4 hours. zero response. so I called him out on it, https://lemmy.world/comment/14291055

since he removed that I’ll post it here too.

hey f***face, if you’re going to apply the rules you better apply the rules for everyone equally, not everyone except your friends like @ReadMoreBooks@lemmy.zip or @leftytighty@slrpnk.net

I know it was you that deleted my comments because you made this comment after you removed them for being “uncivil”.

how’s this for uncivil, go back to Reddit you corrupt piece of shit.

in case you didn’t realize it this is sarcasm.

yeah, it broke rules, but my anger was justified. dude is clearly abusing his mod powers.

all their “uncivil” and condescending retorts are all still there though. and here I am banned from the community because he got pissy that he got called out.

I reached out to another mod on there but they haven’t been active since July.

TBF this isn’t the only instance of “Reddit mod bigmad” I’ve experienced on here. the communities aren’t a problem, it’s the power-tripping mods from Reddit that got kicked out that will destroy Lemmy/fediverse.

yeah…the fediverse is Reddit 2.0

Lemmy has been getting a little more…fascisty lately. each community has basically been infiltrated by power-tripping mods from Reddit that honestly have no business being mods.

it’s good to have things different than Reddit and Lemmy.

but why would I if I can just snake it?

unscrewing it I have to clean up everything afterwards. I also have to patch the ceiling or re-cover the access hole.

with a snake, I just snake it. it goes through the plumbing, and I’m done.

unless I’m missing something.

with a p trap you don’t need to unscrew anything though, right?

it’s just snake it and be done?

as a non-plumber what are the benefits of a bottle vs P style trap?

IDK, after a week of runtime it told me 2.5kwh average. could be average per hour?

Highest power bill I ever saw was summer of 2022. $1800. temps outside were into to 110-120 range and was the hottest ever here.

maybe I’ll hook it back up, but I’ve got different (newer) hardware now.

tiny penises in your pants?

that’s pretty cold.

sounds like you want a rpi-zero Ethernet gadget.

I made one years ago that pretended to be an Ethernet adapter as soon as you plugged it into your USB port.

it would boot, connect to WiFi, then connect to VPN, and the laptop it was plugged into would then use that as the primary network source as if it was connected to a lan.

downsides:

• WiFi sucks and I only saw ~ 250mb connections
• USB is slow capped at 450mb

but it does work in a pinch.

I think RPI A and B were gadget capable but they dropped support after rpi2 was released.

don’t forget you’re going to need to setup the proper routing tables and install a DHCP server(maybe…might be able to do static routing but I found it easier to just install dnsmasq).

would love to add more fiber to my diet! if I had the time and money. next four years is going to get pricy so I’m solidifying my stack now with backup hardware and planning for failures.

the brocade is running my pvt lan since it’s the most important. physically cut off public access. just upgraded most my servers to use 10gbe and would love to run fiber to my office about 60-70 feet away.

the brocade I’m using was unlocked by the eBay seller I got it from, so it can theoretically transfer up to 40g. would be great for my AI rig I keep in the office.

last I checked with a kill-a-watt I was drawing an average of 2.5kWh after a week of monitoring my whole rack. that was about three years ago and the following was running in my rack.

• r610 dual 1kw PSU
• homebuilt server Gigabyte 750w PSU
• homebuilt Asus gaming rig 650w PSU
• homebuilt Asus retro(xp) gaming/testing rig 350w PSU
• HP laptop as dev env/warmsite ~ 200w PSU
• Amcrest NVR 80w (I guess?)
• HP T610 65w PSU
• Terramaster F5-422 90w PSU
• TP-Link TL-SG2424P 180w PSU
• Brocade ICX6610-48P-E dual dual 1kw PSU
• Misc routers, rpis, poe aps, modems(cable & 5G) ~ 700w combined (cameras not included, brocade powers them directly)

I also have two battery systems split between high priority and low priority infrastructure.

it’s not that they don’t value your time, it’s that they value security compliance checklists over productivity.

in the same boat myself. Told them the same. practicality begged them to allow me to use docker otherwise tasks would balloon from an hour to complete to literal days.

after two weeks of discussion they finally relented. Probably cost the company $50-70k in those two weeks in salaries alone when you include the entire dev team, IT, security, compliance, and mgmt.

it’s amazing that this shitshow called capitalism is still functioning.

it is your problem because they’re stealing your money too.

famous person code gives you 30% off a product. honey tells you it’s 10% and keeps your 20% for its pockets.

at least that’s how I understood it.

there exists a dark package infrastructure. usually used for stealing money from grannies but does drug drops and others. get in contact with them on a burner. send them the package with fee and they will deliver it anywhere you need it.

make sure you find a scapegoat within your company that knows what’s going on but doesn’t know you know. make them the whistleblower.

sit back and enjoy the shitshow as the trust breaks down and the company goes under.

I agree. I have zero faith in the studio that brought us the previous winners such as,

• WW1984
• Aquaman
• Green Lantern
• Justice League (any variant)

you seem knowledgeable on this topic. Enough that I hope you could answer my questions.

with this new state, would it make it easier/possible to improve not just efficiency but throughput of permanent magnetic motors?

also, you mentioned the programmability of magnets. would this allow us to build more “task specific” electric motors? for example; a motor with high torque at low rpms and low torque at high rpms?

that’s one sturdy chair. look at the destruction around him. Jesus Christ Almighty, he sat down and did all that?
