If you want, try to help such people.

It might surprise you that you can dump unlimited money into certain people and they'll end up back in the same situation, but they'll hate you for not giving more because you still have something left.

It's like trying to help a drowning person, they often will drag you into the water with them.

I haven't defederated anyone yet, I don't intend to defederated from Instagrams new failed Twitter clone.

The level of raid is fundamental to the operation of your raid array.

As I recall, RAID 0 is striping. It will give you faster throughput because your array can pull values out of multiple drives at once. RAID 1 is mirroring. In that, half of the drives are used for data, and the other half are used to back up the first half. RAID 5 is parody, and that's what you're looking for. Essentially, your drives will mostly be used for storing data come up with the last one will be used to track what information is on the other four, so you will have one drive for redundancy and the other four will be storing data.

Hardware raid versus software raid matters to the extent that parity calculations are relatively expensive and so if you're trying to do RAID 5 on software raid, that's going to eat up more of your CPU power and reduce your drive throughput.

I don't recall truenas in particular, and what you using the nas for is really what is important, but I do recall that some Nas software doesn't even want you to be using hardware raid because it will be using its own software algorithms that are separate from what you would typically consider to be raid.

Threads is a failed platform. It isn't like they're adding federation to Facebook.

Meta does, but I'm not sure threads does.

I know people on facebook, but I don't know anyone on threads, even if it is owned by meta.

I expect activitypub to be relatively scalable. As long as meta isn't doing something stupid like trying to federate everything to everyone, the traffic should be limited to the users that have connected to each other. There are already absolutely gargantuan instances out there with millions of users that federate just fine with tiny instances.

I've had two HP laserjets, and on each one I've printed thousands of pages sometimes years in between prints.

It's just a matter of breaking the problem down Into an easier problem or set of problems.

All the additions are interchangable, so you could choose to add 1+2+3+4 or 4+1+2+3 and then 4+1=5 and 2+3=5 and then youve got 5+5 which is easy its 10. So you go ok you can do the conversion with 1 and 50 except it's still tough mental math so you say 1 and 100 to get 101 100 times, but that's twice too big so you slap it in half and you get the answer. It's solving a tough problem by splitting it into problems that aren't as tough.

The first step is knowing what tools you have in your belt. The second is knowing how they work in detail. The third part is the inspiration of using them in a way that solves a difficult problem.

I'm not a mathematician, but I've found interesting solutions to problems like this before, and it's fun when you understand your tools and understand the problem and it all comes together to find a solution nobody else would have.

Thanks! I know I've tried freecad in the past and found it really tough to wrap my head around, but I'll give it a try because as I said a few days ago, at any moment the tinkercad I use regularly could go away.

I've never used syncthing, but nextcloud has become a major part of my life in part because of the notes app, which I use for my work log, as well as nextcloud news, which lets me read news from any device and which articles I've read are tracked so my news feed is actually news. A third thing that's neat is I keep my windows user folders in my nextcloud folder so my computers have the same synchronized user folders -- if I download a file on my main PC it shows up on my travel laptop and vice versa, and if windows crashes I don't lose the files in my user folders, I just resync.

I'd go a step further -- there was never a public forum on Big tech for the past 15 years. Big tech was always the illusion of a thing and not the thing itself.

Open protocols are the only way to have a real public forum.

From hells heart I shred sick riffs at thee!

There's a writeup out there where you can use the GoDaddy API to update your actual DNS IP every time your external IP changes. Not free, but works pretty well.

I've got an IQ of 87. So far, tinkercad is basically the best 3d modelling program for me so I can make stuff by using arrow keys to move around basic shapes.

It's one of the biggest problems of the whole 3d printing ecosystem that so many people are relying on software like fusion or tinkercad that could shut down, lose its free option, and see massive price increases on subscription software.

I wish I could wrap my head around freecad, but we're just not there yet and we may never be. I feel like it or something like it must be our future because until we have a full libre software chain we're living on borrowed time.

I feel like this whole article is based on a false premise.

Go to a dealership right now, and try to find any new truck for $36,000. On paper you might be able to get the lowest base model, but in reality good luck with that.

I just checked the dealership near me, and the lowest price for a new vehicle of any kind is 39,400CAD or about 28,000USD. The lowest priced new truck is 66,500CDN, or about 49,300USD.

That's just what the world looks like now thanks to inflation. And that's not a vehicle using expensive battery technology, and that's not a vehicle made out of expensive, difficult to manufacture with stainless steel, it's just the cheapest standard truck at the dealership.

Really, it looks like the cybertruck is about bang on with prices for other EV trucks that aren't made out of entirely stainless steel. Considering that Tesla isn't a budget brand, that doesn't seem unreasonable. Nobody at Tesla is psychic, they couldn't have predicted super high inflation sparked in part due to policies enacted due to a global pandemic, so of course prices rose.

It bugs me that I use tinkercad but nothing foss is nearly as friendly to use, and I tried (I think it's librecad the parametric 3d one?) But even though I understand the concept I didn't find any success modeling with it.

Is it really that tough to make changes on rust? I'm not even a web developer and even I've been able to figure out how to fiddle with lotide's back-end code. I added a feature (I need to add back in) for stuff without a title so it'll just pull the first line of text for when I'm pulling from friendica communities and the like.

As long as they're mostly the same. For example on many controllers no mixing SSDs with HDDs.

I'm guessing unique users who have been active on Lemmy within the past 6 months.
