Happy typo 😁

Right a book that no one reads?

Not sure what kind of “feeder” you’re expecting, but I have a chipper that looks similar. For mine, the “feeder” is just gravity. If my blades are sharp, it feeds itself nicely. If they’re dull or get too much caught in them, it stops feeding itself and needs a shove.

Maybe it needs new blades?

Remap it to escape if you’re a vim user.

I’m a fan of restic. I’m using it for workstations and homelab servers. I have two complaints. Scheduling backups isn’t integrated into the tool (but other wrapper tools like resticprofile do a great job of cooking the gap. And restoring from backup is more of a headache than I’d like.

Maybe you could think of it that way, but I don’t think PV cells store much charge, so they’d make pretty crappy capacitors.

Chicken, rice, and corn.

One rule of thumb I’ve heard for estimating repairs as a homeowner is to take however long you think it should take, double the number and increase the time unit

• “I can do that in two hours” --> 4 days
• “It should take a day” --> 2 weeks
• “It’s a short project. Maybe a month.” --> 2 years

You can recompile the kernel in any distro. In Gentoo, you have to compile the kernel (because you compile everything).

That looks like a really handy resource.

Do this.

Whether it would fry the NFC tag or not, you want as little distance as possible between the wireless charger and phone. More distance is less efficient (more heat, more wasted power, slower charging).

We don’t talk about Bruno.

Yikes, thanks for the context. That original comment 🤢

Material disseminated by the advocates or opponents of a doctrine or cause.

This is a friendly reminder that “propaganda” isn’t always evil. It’s just people trying to persuade people.

This picture is absolutely propaganda. It’s also absolutely something people need to see to help understand the very human cost of the actions their government is taking.

On the CPU side, the only Intel procs I’ve used are old enterprise gear for my homelab. No issues there.

On the GPU side, I’ve exclusively used Nvidia for… Actually I don’t remember the last time I used a non-nvidia GPU. The most common problem I’ve run into is updating my drivers and forgetting to reboot. the only other problem I’ve had is years back, I bought the latest gen card, and Nvidia hadn’t updated their official Linux drivers yet.

With your hardware, I’d expect things to work fine.

IIRC, there’s a harder, trusted process for measurement. But an easier method that has gained widespread adoption, and that method is what has been called into question.

Because of how wide and thin it is, it looks like a phased antenna array to me. It’s a way to create cheaper, performant antennas. You see this form factor with a bunch of RF applications in UHF to EHF range.

Here’s an example of a random mmWave radar board. Imagine a plastic case over this to keep out dust and rain.

The large flat one looks like radar to me. I hadn’t heard of radar being used with PTZ cameras. But you can also use it standalone to measure traffic flow.

If it isn’t radar, it’s something with a large, flat antenna (probably a phased array). The other two options I can think of are a long-range RFID scanner or a point-to-point network connection.

How does this handle grid power outages?

In my area, you’re required to prevent back feeding if the grid goes down (otherwise it can be hazardous for the linemen repairing the issue).
