Fortunately, Sarah Z is posting a new one next week

What’s the issue with Calibre Web? I add book to shelf on Calibre Web, and hit Sync on my kobo, and the kobo downloads the book and populates it in my library. What’s the thing I’m missing or that’s not working right?

Yeah but that’s why they’re beliefs, and not science

Why does bedrock only work on tablets?

Open the Start menu, usually

I don’t know if you recognized these as the lyrics to a Protomen song or not

I set it once like 6 years ago and forgot it wasn’t something pre-installed and configured until I saw your comment. I was reading through the comments looking for the “you don’t need to do anything, ddclient takes care of it”

You laugh and you joke but I stumbled into a PS2 original, the fat one, with a network adapter so you can slot a hard drive in. I went into my spare parts and pulled out an old IDE hard drive, as the PS2 was before the spread of SATA (I think even before SATA was announced) and it popped right in and guess who doesn’t have to worry about discs

According to the USDA, the US cattle industry contributes about 3.7% of US greenhouse gas emissions, and livestock as a whole is around 14.5% globally on a cursory search

But the top is still moving right

There’s no edited tag on the post so I have to wonder how (1889-2024) wasn’t an indicator too lol

The joke was obvious, and you even doubled down by suggesting people intentionally go to Bentonville. I appreciated it

Hey! I know it’s been a couple weeks but I figured I’d say that I went down to the lobby at 10am just now, and there’s two guys in there right now swapping out the cash reader. There’s the regular restocker doing his job and a second guy with one of the handheld firmware loader things, I’m not sure if it just needs a software change or if he needs to be there to swap the actual slot, but it does look swappable

I see people servicing vending machines in public all the time, but the ones out in the city it happens at 2-5am. The ones in my building, it’s roughly weekly at noon. Most of the ones I pass with any regularity don’t have any IC functionality, but we still keep a Waon card around for when we’re visiting nearby cities

There’s generally one or two slots connected directly to the CPU running in x16 or x8 if there’s two and both are connected, 4 lanes linking the CPU to the chipset, and the rest of the slots connect to the chipset and share that same x4 link. If your cpu has 24 lanes (Ryzen do/did a few years ago, Intel might but didn’t a few years ago), the remaining 4 lanes usually go to an NVMe slot

PL2 on a 14900T is 106W

Edit: I’m an idiot, T series is low power socketed, not mobile. 14900HX has a TDP of 55W but boosts short term to 157W, which is still pretty ridiculous

What aluminum cans are you getting that don’t have a plastic lining?

Not actually! I mean, yes, you’d need another device, but your router itself can be the VPN host if it’s the right model. The VPN server software is extremely lightweight, so most higher end routers just include it as an option in management, but you can get away with a cheap router and something like a cheap raspberry pi/clone, which would also give you something to put pihole on

I’ve got a VPN set up on my home server so when I leave the house, my public IP is still the same on my laptop as it is at home. If you’ve got people sending you messages directly via IP why wouldn’t you just set that up?

For recipe tracking and “what to buy” I’ve actually had good success with https://grocy.info/

Has really cut down on buying things to use only to get home and find out I already had half of it and forgot
