Here’s the only thing you need to know: radio is black magic.

Point of clarification: DAC is copper, AOC is fiber.

A lot of 10G equipment will support 5G/2.5G SFPs as well, so it can still be beneficial to go 10G on the core equipment.

I think the usual recommendation these days is get the highest rated corexy in your price range.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about Bambu AMS; seems cool enough, not quite the same as a true dual extruder, has some quirks and annoyances.

There’s Finamp, a music client for Jellyfin with offline playback. I’ve not used it personally yet, but with Spotify ratcheting up prices again I’m in the process of switching to self-hosting my music library. When that’s up and running it’s at the top of my list for Android clients.

Perl is definitely a WORN language.

Write Once, Read Never

That’s a rude thing to say about your house. There’s more than just book smarts, you know.

And the magic of buying two of them!

Ok that’s just not true at all.

Core temps ramp up astonishingly fast on RPi!

If their official website isn’t https://batsh.it I’m going to be very sad.

You should know that not all clients display your display name, some only show your username@instance.

It’s not apparent to everyone that your name is Onno.

There is no original thought.

A friend of mine had some explaining to do when he screwed up a dhcp config change and started routing his guest wifi through his “personal” pihole instead of the restricted guest one (he had family/children over often and did not want to be the reason nephew Timmy got an eyeful of wet bush or a beheading).

His family-friendly pihole was at holypi.lastname.local and his private one was creampi.lastname.local

You can make helmets very easily using a vac table and a 3d printed bust that’s the same size as your head

I’m definitely going to try this. All this time I’ve just been sticking my head in the vac table.

thanks, I hate it.

The other poster said it’s about convenience but that’s not really true. The claim to fame for NVMe drives is speed: While SATA SSDs can theoretically run at up to 500 MB/s, the latest NVMe drives can hit 7000+ MB/s.

It’s for this reason that you should pay attention to which NVMe drive you choose (if speed is what you’re after). SATA-based M.2 drives exist – and they run at SATA speeds – so if you see a cheap M.2 drive for sale it’s probably SATA and intended for bulk storage on laptops and SFF PCs without room for 2.5" drives. Double check the specs to be sure what you’re getting.

If you’re practicing 3-2-1 backups then you probably don’t need to bother with RAID.

I can hear the mechanical keyboards clacking; Hear me out: If you’re not committed to a regular backup strategy, RAID can be a good way to protect yourself against a sudden hard drive failure, at which point you can do an “oh shit” backup and reconsider your life choices. RAID does nothing else beyond that. If your data gets corrupted, the wrong bits will happily be synced to the mirror drives. If you get ransomwared, congratulations you now have two copies of your inaccessible encrypted data.

Skip the RAID and set up backups. It can be as simple as an external drive that you plug in once a week and run rsync, or you can pay for a service like backblaze that has a client to handle things, or you can set up a NAS that receives a nightly backup from your PC and then pushes a copy up to something like B2 or S3 glacier.

I don’t disagree, was just trying to shed light on the “don’t ask me why” part.

I dipped my toe into Solvespace for a couple of projects and it’s not bad. As with anything it takes some getting used to, and there are things that it does better than freecad (and vice versa).

This is not the same as the orange sheep “Partdesign_Clone” command found in the Part Design workbench. Don’t ask me why they use the same icon.

They’re the same icon because they’re both cloning operations — and I’m sure we’re all familiar with the story of Dolly the sheep, the first cloned animal.

They’re blue and orange because those are the freecad colors for sketch and part respectively.

The multi color is neat but that print quality… woof
