(to op) you must flip your psu around as your cpu is going to cook it. The psu needs fresh intake air.
MBUX is pretty great, as it is running Research in Motion’s QNX! Hence the bb touchpads. It plays flac via usb.

Your data integrity is at risk not using ECC ram (EXTRA ESPECIALLY IF YOU USE SOFTWARE RAID), which is usually gated out of consumer hardware.

Though those poweredges would have had it.

Flight got rebooked with a couple hours notice, stayed at LGA checkin till it opened, had the first flight out. Fare was more than 100$
Re:NYC Congestion Pricing on Monday January 06, 2025 @07:24PM (#42617763)
Congestion pricing can work to dissuade individuals from living in the burbs, only if there is controls on real estate to deal with the influx of people moving inward. The other benefit is an increase of mass transit usage, which is a plus?

I personally took a cab from Newark to Laguardia at MIDNIGHT and it took 40 min to cross into Manhattan to get to the Queens-Midtown tunnel. Just a new level of traffic. Was fun going in the MIB tunnel.

I know for a fact at least one insurance company’s IBM aix mainframes are in an underground emp proof (faraday cage which connects through the door) vault.
This should have had a Europa lander, and did for awhile.. NASA's JUICE.
Re:UPSes suck and need to be disrupted on Saturday February 03, 2024 @03:16PM (#39244304)
APC has gone downhill in the time I've been a sysadmin. Eaton is the way to go for commercial units. Don't purchase anything without a bypass or else the UPS will be dead when the battery dies, as decent UPSs operate in on-line mode.

I am concerned about newish implementation of li-ion cells in commercial UPSs. They are not designed to stay at capacity for a long time. That coupled with the volatility of li-ion, means there may be more datacenter fires in the future.

Re:UPSes suck and need to be disrupted on Saturday February 03, 2024 @03:03PM (#39244202)
on shitty ones maybe, decent ones with bypass not so much
The private key is definitely reused between certs unless you go through a process of rekeying which requires a new CSR.

Likely a bit of rust on the rotor. In addition, it is crazy how fast rotors rust when unused.

Re:DIY IP-KVM Based on Raspberry Pi on Monday October 30, 2023 @12:43PM (#38071927)
Correct, the dongles connect via ethernet cables (not ip protocol) to the raritan unit. Then you access the raritan via IP to access the dongle outputs.
Re:DIY IP-KVM Based on Raspberry Pi on Sunday October 29, 2023 @07:25PM (#38063883)
Used Raritans are pretty cheap on ebay. The dongles are even cheaper.
Some pro workstation boards still do!

The nvme slot in the studio that is not actually a nvme compatible drive is just egregious garbage.
I don't give a shit about T2, really. I only care about the concept of Kerbal Space Program, the mere fact it is getting attention at all is shocking, let alone from a AAA game studio (for better or for worse there). The heads of some of the best mods of KSP1 are in the dev teams, it seems to be getting the attention it needs to succeed in the long run.
Everyone seems to love shitting on KSP2, when the same people forget what KSP1 was like in Alpha. No science, shitty graphics, excessively wobbly rockets, inconsistent orbits, (other than graphics) seems familiar?

It took a looooong time for KSP1 to get where it is now, it will also take awhile for KSP2 to be as polished.

Chill out.

It is also a great material to build the frame of various kinds of antennae for SDR uses.
You are making a point that uncontrolled railway crossings should be banned, correct.

Though what you don’t get is the concept of inertia at the train’s scale. You can’t just say “mass cancels out”. The specific energy to stop is the same per given amount of mass, however the amount of mass is not in the same league. Not to mention the CoF differentials between rubber/asphalt to steel/steel.
