I really want WSL to implement full USB support then I can finally stop using cygwin because my ssh keys are on a smart card
Didn't they do exactly that recently?
I have to say, I'm impressed with DigitalOcean's reliability. Their dashboard says that VM was 5 years old, I can't remember any times where I had any significant issues over that time. I also like that they have a datacenter in Toronto, which isn't common on the mainstream providers. I only moved since Vultr seemed to have a decent reputation and was cheaper. I'm just using it for an IRC bouncer and a very light webserver at this point, so pretty much anything will do. I might as well save an extra couple coffees a month in the process for the same amount of effort.
Yea I'm not ignoring that. But the baseline is really quite low, can always try running another 24hour test while putting a bunch of food in there and seeing how it affects the usage. But basically just maintaining the temperature from losses and opening the fridge and freezer is totally doable. I don't even need a 1KWh battery given that I just need to store energy for the 16 hours a day without strong sun, but could shoot for 1KWh to account for that. Since it will go back to steady state after things are cooled correctly.
I plan on only charging to maybe 4.1 or 4.15 since I'm using shit cells.
I had issues once with DO but they were clearly communicated and resolved quickly. I switched to Vultr before DO upped the specs on their VPSes though, and at the time Vultr was a better deal. Now that they're basically the same, though, I've set up my server with Ubuntu 18.04 and I'm really liking it so far. I was using CentOS before, it wasn't horrible by any measure but I wanted to give Ubuntu a fair shot.
Back when I had an old Apple PowerBook 150 for fun, I remember jumping through a lot of hoops to get it a network connection. I had to find a really old SCSI Ethernet adapter and then a converter to go from the weird Apple SCSI port to a regular SCSI port. Now, I wish I had held onto that thing. If I recall, there was still a good amount of free space in the case, even more if I replaced the 2.5" HDD with a CF card or something. I could have easily shoved in a Raspberry Pi Zero or other Linux board, soldered it directly to the Serial port, have the Pi connect to WiFi and act as a serial PPP server so the laptop could do a "dialup" connection and hop on the internet directly for IRC and extremely basic web browsing. That would sure beat the huge, chunky external NIC, SCSI adapter, separate power adapter for the NIC, then a WiFi to ethernet bridge with its own separate AC power brick.
Weren't you using some IR network for one of your old systems at some point or am I getting things mixed up?
not natively no, and the thing I've found that kinda does what I want (GitHub) would only send the ssh-agent to the native Windows ssh-agent I've got running, so rather than using powershell for git/GPG operations and cygwin for SSH, it just becomes powershell for git/GPG and WSL for SSH, so no real benefit
Pentium must be rolling in his grave
Western Digital shipped ~40M units in Q4’17. If ARM got a cent for the licensing for the controller for every unit, that's 400k USD in a quarter.
They've claimed they've shipped over a billion "cores" in a year. Even if the ARM licensing cost is minimal, we're still talking about millions of dollars that they can save with RISC-V over ARM.
I stripped and put new heatshrink on my current cells.
I might as well start vaping now.
Currently reading this as I'm sitting here changing the 18650's out in my vape for fully charged one. I feel personally attacked.
I just mean I know some vape enthusiasts who are big into custom wrapping their cells and making it a fashion thing. The wrapping on my older cells was tearing and one was completely undone so just doing it for safety and such.
Only really issue with it right now is getting a smooth shrink, seems to bunch up a bit. I might need to do it slower though.
I'm not sure if it's because of the fans on EVGA power supplies that I hear about, but for some reason my computer sounds kinda like a Geiger counter.
Oh didn't anybody tell you? Your computer is doing some high level fission type shit. Hope you enjoy the new stomach-arm you'll wake up with tomorrow!
Where do you get one of these?
Found another deal on a SSD:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DNLY1R2/
It's crazy to think how cheap SSDs have gotten over the past couple of years, soon cheapasses like myself will start using them in stupid RAID arrays that crash every 10 seconds
The only 3d printing thread that I can find is old as hell (and locked), care to link the one you're talking about?
Nah, if you take a look at the issue tracker on github it's still pretty much not done. Smart card support doesn't exist etc. People still asking to use yubikeys. No libusb support.
I really need to get around to picking up a bigger SSD for my ESXi host
I need to pick up that $28 GB drive for my media server's boot drive, it's running off an OLD OLD OLD sloooooow laptop drive right now
God damn, scrap upgrading my own PC, I am going to upgrade the 2 remaining laptops with no SSD to a cheapo SSD then.
In other news, after every 30 logins my bank wants me to change the user password. 6-20, luckily no special characters required, but there is a code card as 2fa. There are 3 other ways of logging in: With ID-Card (using a card reader and your card), with Smart-ID (phone app, similar thing) or with Mobile-ID (SIM applet, pretty much 2fa)
Plex's menu usability drastically improves when you have thumbnail cache on an SSD
I'd honestly prefer being forced to reset my password over the current system my bank uses. With a good password manager you don't need to worry about remembering them.
But with my bank's clever system, you have to enter ~5 random characters of your password each time. If you don't remember it by heart that means showing it in plaintext every time you're typing it, and you can't autotype it easily.
I get it's trying to protect you from keyloggers, but that's done better by the 2FA (text message, of course).
That's ok, paypal is a 60 billion dollar company, and still has a max password limit of 20 characters...
