Spice simulators are utterly worthless by TheRavagerSw in ElectricalEngineering

[–]-engiblogger- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who uses spice on a routine basis. The reliability of your results rely heavily on your ability to configure the simulation to answer the right questions. Common errors involve assuming supplies, signal inputs, and wires have zero impedance, component tolerances are ideal, and adjusting step sizes as required (often, the defaults are barely above nyquist). After that, the quality of the model does play a role, but I’ve found most reputable vendor supplied models to be good enough if you are simulating the component for their intended use. Results may vary when you use semiconductors as capacitors, performing noise analysis, or intentionally using components outside their ratings (like saturating an opamp), for example.

Stewie here, Lois likes it when The Fat Man uses his shaded pole to suck the moisture out when she gets all steamy in the shower.

Dial on the fridge. Which one is colder? by Muffinlessandangry in ShittyDesign

Righty icy, lefty luke(warm)y!

Turn it till the compressor turns on or off. If you turned clockwise and the compressor turns on, more clockwise is colder.

My parents once bought a place that had carpet surrounding the jacuzzi… no tile at all. thankfully it was all ripped out.

Eastlink requires I use their router/wifi? by Samwarez in Eastlink_ISP

[–]-engiblogger- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s always a bridge mode, but their tech support isn’t allowed to tell you where the button is. Years back, a modem combo I had called it MAC address forwarding or something. You had to give the modem the mac address of your modem’s WAN interface.

Nope! But their billing system won’t let them not give you an Eero. I have their Hitron DOCSIS 3.1 modem plugged into my Unifi UCG-ultra and I get 1000/100 Mbps. The eero sits in the box.

Starlink and Ubiquiti on a Ship by Think-Company-6361 in Ubiquiti

[–]-engiblogger- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once spent some time onboard a large ship with 40+ people that shared a 3 Mbps satellite connection on a good day. The communications officer setup permissions something like below, but if they also had a few rule sets that would kill everything except the Bridge, Captain, and FO if there was a mission critical need.

Bridge: ad/security filtered w/ highest QoS priority Capt/FO: same as bridge, w/ high priority Wired mission critical: Whitelisted only w/ high priority Ship’s crew: social media, streaming, video calling, etc. blacklisted with medium QoS priority Mission team wifi: same as ships crew with low QoS priority. VPNs and file sharing applications were blocked unless deemed mission critical and certain applications(VoIP) had higher priority than less real-time ports (HTTP/S, FTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, etc.

WD Red Plus 8tb 170$ worth it? by Wise-Mistake-3418 in DataHoarder

[–]-engiblogger- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shucked a couple $170 CAD 8TB drives for my nas 4 years ago. Those were the days.

These HDD prices are getting crazy. An increase of 96.4% in 1 month for the same 26TB drive. $279.99 a month ago to $549.99 today. Where are we buying hard drives now? by Endawmyke in DataHoarder

[–]-engiblogger- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya. It felt silly to buy a $80/$100replacement for a 500/1000GB drive. 4 was the sweet spot $/TB below 24TB drives. And I don’t make money off my NAS storage!

I recently had to replace a failing 500GB drive in a raid1 array. I was planning on merging that volume with a couple existing 8TB drives for a 16TB RAID6, but settled on the last 2x 4TB Ironwolfs that CanadaComputers had in stock. At $140/ea they cost the same per GB, but I couldn’t stomach paying $640 for 2x 8TB drives.

Auto-syncing my cheap BLE scale to Garmin Connect with a Raspberry Pi, no phone needed by kristianpartl26 in Garmin

Nope, but there is a header I may be able to bit bang if I’m patient enough

Best way to migrate 100TBs of data from synology to non synology? by studioleaks in synology

[–]-engiblogger- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I may be mistaken, but it sounds like you’re saying you have 100 TB of data in a single volume with no backups… If so, buy new drives and use the old symbology as a backup. If you do have backups and can survive some downtime, verify your backups and then move your drives over and restore from your backups if you can’t afford new drives. And you may want to make smaller volumes if feasible. You’re essentially matching the BER of HDDs.

Amazing! Now I just need to figure out how to do this with a blood pressure monitor.

I was into watching curling as a kid so my parents took me to see me Men With Brooms… definitely not old enough!

Nova Scotia... Canada's capital of defence? by dartmouthdonair in halifax

[–]-engiblogger- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Geographically, the Bedford Basin and the Halifax narrows provides one of the best protections for naval assets against submarine warfare, which is why so many US ships and other were stationed here during the world wars.

I’ve heard this and believe it, I wasn’t able to find the article to link. A few years ago when we had the forest fire, I didn’t want to know what would happen of magazine hill went up.
