Yeah, I miss my old iPhone 5S, LG G4 and Nexus 6P. All of those were great phones for different reasons.

I don’t miss my old Samsung slide-open phone, nor the HTC One m9 I had for all of a week before the camera was so bad it made me return it.

I wouldn’t call myself a “picky” eater per se, but my peanut/tree nut allergy makes me apprehensive to try new food. Especially if there aren’t clear labels for things like peanut oil and cross contamination.

I have around 100GB of various Linux and BSD ISOs from over the years that I haven’t cleaned out yet. Most of the ones I use today I just download as I need it and delete it after. Unless it’s for my VMs, I’ll keep those around so I can quickly get a new one built.

I’d say GIMP for photo editing would be a good one to learn. It’s come in handy in a pinch both at home and at work when I’ve needed something done up real quick.

Not much for me atm, though in a day or two I’m (finally) fixing a major problem with my VM storage array - I’m replacing the crappy Crucial BX500’s in my VM storage mirror with a couple refurbished 2TB Intel D3-S4510 SSDs I got from Server Part Deals. I’m very excited for this saga to be over, since I’ve been fighting horrible VM performance for over a year, and it was bad enough to where simply pushing changes to git repos or syncing a modest amount of data to my Nextcloud would hang the VMs for a few minutes!

Otherwise I’m just looking at maybe replacing my Puppet infra with SaltStack, and getting some new Packer images built for FreeBSD 15.1 and Almalinux 10 :)

+1 on the Fractal Define series. My Fractal Define 7 was a breeze to work in, even if it is a little expensive.

I want to believe this is a sign AI investment is drying up, but I know that’s just me being hopeful 🙃

I went to dinner at a fancy restaurant with my wife and our friends, and I got an $85 steak. Definitely worth it!

That’s insane it’s buried so deep in the settings. I get why, but that’s terrible

I mean to be fair I hate Android too, I just also hate iOS :)

I’ve been running MoCA in my home for the last ~5 years and it seems to be doing just fine. Even in my last house with older coax run I was able to get ~1Gbps to my endpoints. The latency difference hasn’t been a problem for me, even with 3-4 adapters in use.

It’s not quite as nice as having cat6 run everywhere, but unless you’re trying to like edit 4K video off a NAS or something that needs a ton of bandwidth it should do just fine.

FWIW, I use these adapters from GoCoax, but there are other good ones out there too: https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-Ethernet-Bandwidth-existing/dp/B09RB1QYR9

I tend to stick Elegoo PLA/PLA+ and that usually works well for me - their dark blue looks fantastic IMO. Overture’s PLA seems to print well too, so did the roll of eSun I got.

Just avoid Creality Ender PLA at all costs. That stuff was awful!

Not at all! I was able to graduate at 22, but I knew plenty of people that graduated much older for various reasons (changing majors multiple times, taking a year or two to work and/or help the family, etc).

If anything, it’s more “embarrassing” to not graduate once you’ve started, but as long as you’re able to (at least try to) get a job and contribute to society, who cares?

If you haven’t yet, I would try disabling the XMPP/DOCP profile to see if that passes a test. This will tell you if the RAM is just dead or if it’s degraded a bit and can’t hit the same speeds as it did before. If it does pass, then re-enable that profile and try downclocking or loosening the timings a bit to see if that’ll work.

Failing that, you could try increasing the voltage slightly (like +0.05V, I wouldn’t go above 1.4V), but I’d be careful on this front to not cause anymore damage.

Sucks that this happened right now, but IMO it’d be better to sacrifice a slight hit in performance than to buy RAM by itself at these premiums.

This is actually kinda cool! Hopefully it eventually becomes a “default” of some sort or at least has an easy toggle in compatible configs.

oh gee, thanks! 🤣

If this is true, that’s a small win but I’ll take it :)

That’s very cool! I’ll have to make one for my wife :)
