Legend has it that Bruce Springsteen’s Glory Days is based off of the life of Uncle Rico.

I’ve been really impressed with Immich, can’t recommend it enough.

I’d put substitute first, but yours sounds better :)

(I’m a big Immich fan, and I’m taking and sharing photos more than ever before, in part because Immich is awesome, self hosted, and open source [the other part is that I have kids now so I’m taking way more photos that grandparents want to see].)

San Francisco is north of 40¢/kWh.

Normal birds: I’m going to fly today.

This bird: It is a good day to die fly!

That only appears to apply to hard drives though.

If you want to use M.2 SSDs for your storage pool and cache, then you still need to use a Synology-certified SSD (which doesn’t necessarily mean that it needs to be Synology branded, just tested and certified).

But will he do the Fandango?

I know right? Almost like it should be called Spaceballs II: The Search for More Money.

On low end CPUs you can max out the CPU before maxing out network—if you want to get fancy, you can use rsync over an unencrypted remote shell like rsh, but I would only do this if the computers were directly connected to each other by one Ethernet cable.

I have one, it’s been great.

That said, “exactly what the problem is” isn’t always the same as telling you the solution. I had a “misfire on cyl #3” error or something like that, which can be a number of things. Replacing all the coils and plugs myself was probably still cheaper than taking it to the shop though!

Not sure I agree.

First, stocks tend to be highly correlated with “the market” (see financial “β”/“beta coefficient”). For example, look at, say, The Home Depot or Ford Motors. From January 2000 to January 2003 (spanning the dot com bubble) they each lost about a third of their value, yet these are not “dot com”-centric companies.

Second, the promise of AI is that it will help every company that has desk jobs. So every company has this expectation now priced into their stock, and if the bottom falls out, well…

Not an analyst/I don’t pick stocks, but just my 2¢.

If you’re running it via docker compose it’s trivial to upgrade, and there are no breaking changes. Pull, down, up, you’re done.

In grad school I bought a blue (405nm) laser pointer. It was supposed to be <5mW, but I measured it at over 70mW.

When I criticize my baby, he looks me in the eyes and asserts dominance with a “what you gonna do about it?” shit grin.

Comparing him to Stephen Miller is just offensive.

I think “boring” (making a hole with a revolving but) in the title is a pun on this…

Prescriptive vs. descriptive is different in colloquial language than in science.

If my data logger captures 1kB/km, how many bytes/meter is that? In every other quantitative unit I can think of, the k should cancel out; but if you want computers to be special, that’s your preference.

Metric sucks. Powers of ten are arbitrary, a fluke of biology. Powers of two are the only sensible way to make a system of measurements.

Then why are you trying to shoehorn binary into decimal? As in: why are you using decimal prefixes in the first place? Answer is probably that most people have intuition behind powers of ten. You can easily express in log2-bytes instead (a GiB is 30, a TiB is 33…etc.). Be the change you want to see!

I’m born and raised in the USA, and while imperial units can be handy for a few every day tasks, there’s a reason why the sciences in the US tend to use metric.

Regarding cooking, I’ll stick to metric, measured by weight. I can double, halve, or multiply my recipe by pi, and all I have to do is look for a different number on my scale.

My favorite is habanero — there’s no ñ, just n, but some will make a show of pronouncing it with the incorrect ñ sound.

Giga, Mega, Kilo…these are all SI prefixes; they differ by a factor of one thousand, which is very clean in base ten.

Ten in binary systems isn’t special, but two is; and two to the ten is very nearly a thousand, and a thousand separates the major SI prefixes. This is a neat coincidence, but should not IMHO change the meaning of the prefix.

Metric units are awesome in large part because of the use of prefixes; messing up the meaning of prefixes is a disservice to the SI/metric system. Giga == billion independent of the context. A light-year is close to 10 petameters, but no one would claim it’s exactly 10Pm.

Now, if you want to call it an “imperial gigabyte,” by all means…

The crazy thing is, d-limonene can be used as a paint thinner, you can burn it in a diesel or a jet engine, and when ingested it can reduce heartburn.

If you want a non-hazardous (to humans) degreaser, d-limonene can be purchased food grade. It’s just orange oil, has similar properties to kerosene, but is “generally recognized as safe” by the FDA and EFSA. Commonly found in liquid hand soap.

Basically, it’s paint thinner you can drink.

It can also be used as an additive in petroleum based cleaners, in which case, definitely not a good idea to drink!

More to your question, I usually start with hot soapy water as a first pass, but it probably won’t get your chain looking like new–need the degreasers for that.
