I set up your API key and secret. However, I couldn't verify if it was working with the API.

Yesterday I set up Rclone, and the download speed from Google Drive was so slow that caching took a long time. After applying the method described in this article, the speed improved.

This is my mount configuration. What do you think? Is there anything that might be causing issues??

rclone mount google_drive: X: ^

  --vfs-cache-mode full ^ 
  --vfs-cache-max-age 24h ^
  --vfs-cache-max-size 50G ^

What secret is hidden in the phrase “you are absolutely right”? Using Google's web browser translation yields the mixed Hindi and Korean sentence: “당신 말이 बिल्कुल 맞아요.”

I used to suffer from GPU fan noise on my T640. I couldn't adjust it in idrac, I could force it with ipmitool, but I don't remember how...

I'm waiting for my company's layoff...

Ask HN: What are the global employment trends?

South Korea's IT market is going through a difficult time due to the ongoing post-COVID-19 economic downturn and government-led R&D budget cuts. Many people around me are losing their jobs or closing their companies (I even got a layoff notice!). I'd like to know what the situation is like in other countries.
