  • Ah shit.

    Thanks for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated as those things are expensive.

    I guess we are fucked until the EU make a new pro-consumer law. But that would take years (if they ever make it).

    Another possibility would be to use a projector (it is only for homelab NAS movies afterall). I have a xgimi in my bedroom and it is somewhat great once connected to the free AppleTV my ISP gave me. Otherwise the default google tv OS on it is pure shit.


  • Ah! I was reading that post yesterday https://lemmy.world/post/22309068 as I am looking for a 55’ 4K oled dumb display.

    So far no joy.

    Apparently some manufacturers makes internet mandatory at first boot and even if you block or disconnect it later it will nag you for firmware update every now and then.

    The only possibility I have found for an EU customer at the moment is Sony Bravia. Yup Sony sucks but apparently Bravia’s let you choose to refuse the terms of service and not use the smart things, thus making them dumb tv.

    But maybe I’m wrong, maybe it’s not the case anymore or maybe they will decide to change that.

    That sucks, if any of you knows about a commercial display/computer monitor/dumb tv in oled 4K hdr 55’ available in Europe, I might fall a little bit in love with you.

    I can feel it. Last time I was in Manhattan I hated it, why are buildings so huge that you can’t see the sky or feel the sun? I had to pay for fancy expensive rooftop bars to be able to breath a little.

    But maybe I don’t get it cause I’m an Europoor.

    Thanks for the shitty photo OP!



  • Standard procedure is max FL100 or 10 000 ft.

    But if you are flying over mountains (FL180 for the Alps highest safe flight level) you are fucked.

    Well no, there are oxygen masks and the pilots will immediately put them on and then dive toward a safer altitude at a controlled but fast rate of descent (more eardrums bursts) as well as clearing the high terrain area ASAP.

    Airbus Procedure is basically “Pull everything on the MCP !”:

    • masks on for both pilots,
    • checks interphone com with your Captain/FO.
    • On the MCP, autopilot set altitude to max FL100 or below (above if mountains), pull for open descent,
    • pull for HDG and go off track (outside the airway to avoid collisions).
    • Pull for max Speed or appropriate (not in managed mode anymore, this will change your rate of descent).
    • Speedbrakes max.
    • Transponder 7700
    • Then you can call Mayday on radio.
    • You also check that the masks had been automatically lowered in the cabin at that point.

    And A320 should descent at around 7000ft per minute. At that rate you start to feel that the ground is getting perpendicular to you on the window. Could be more or less, it’s the pilot choice and how much he is willing to stress an airframe that just had an explosive decompression.

    Rapid decompressions are very rare events tho. Except maybe on 737 max.

    I just have my vault default location saved on a cloud drive. iCloud in my case as I have an IPhone but I guess it could be done with any cloud or owncloud if you have a server.

    I used to use Git, but it is easier to just move the vault on a network/cloud drive as you don’t need to pull/push. As obsidian auto save when you type a character this makes the sync instantaneous with zero effort.




  • Skunk@jlai.lutoSelfhosted@lemmy.worldIs Mac Mini suitable for self-hosted server?

    It is very good but depend on what you want to host.

    I have a second hand cheapest M2 with Asahi Linux and some container (like pihole) but not much. I like that it is small, silent and energy efficient (and it can run Xplane12 in 4k !). But I have an homemade NAS so most of the multimedia stuff and containers are on here and not on the MacMini.

    The M4 seems incredible, but Asahi Linux only support M1 and 2 at the moment (it might work with M4 tho).

    The problem with the mini would be disk space if you are looking for a NAS usage, although I have seen here on lemmy a dude making a Mac Mini NAS (can’t find the post anymore).

    But even without Asahi, an M4 with Mac OS, docker and a VM if needed would be plenty of power for price and energy. You can also upgrade to a 10Gbe NIC if your network supports it. Plug it to some screens and you have a workstation + docker server in one place.



  • Trust and respect are some of the core principles in Swiss education and society. There are those well known newspapers stands that always amaze tourists. They are not locked nor monitored but people still pay for the newspaper.

    For the restaurants it can be true but most places will know what you had only because the cash register system works like that (like they take the order on a phone that automatically sends everything to the kitchen and till). It’s mostly because all the systems available on the market works like that.

    But as everywhere, things are changing for the worse, there’s more and more violence, disrespect etc.

    Fun fact, I once had French friends visiting and they saw a field where you can take fruits yourself, weight them and pay the according price. No human supervision, no cameras. They were amazed and told me “In France we wouldn’t pay for the fruits, steal the money box AND the weighting machine”




  • Thanks, here are some figures about our Jet d’Eau and a not so fun fact:

    At 200km/h and 140m high, one day a dude tried to kiss it. He was denied any love, felt down near the base, tried to hug the Jet d’Eau (again yes…). Was sent into orbit and finished into the lake where police fished him up.

    He did survive, but probably not his last brain cells.

    That thing is powerful, when you stand below it you are soaked to the bones by fresh lake water in seconds. At this exact time (24 August 14h30 utc) you can see people pressing below it cause it is 32°C right now in Geneva)


  • I feel you. This ITX build is replacing a giant supermicro dual everything beast. I just kept its HDDs and moved everything to the Unraid ITX + some docker running on a M2 MacMini that is always on anyway.

    I said to myself that I’ll resell the supermicro on auctions but still haven’t started to disassemble it.

    Fun fact about divorce. A cute Jonsbo N3 with big Noctua fans is way more for peace and love at home than a 20Kg Supermicro chassis.
