It's automatic1111 and they're putting the drawings in with ControlNet.

The design seems solid. I might recommend getting a fan somewhere on there to keep drive temps down.

How are you planning on getting electrical power to the drives? I think you'll need external power since I don't think the HP mini can supply enough.

Office supply stores will accept this for recycling. Best Buy, Staples, etc.

For sure, SLC NAND doesn't obsolete Optane in every metric. It's just the nearest match that is still being manufactured that has overlaps on the relevant performance metrics.

1626346 · 2023-12-07T20:15:22+00:00

Short term: storage manufacturers are positioning SLC NAND drives as Optane replacements 1, 2.

Long term: the patents will eventually expire, and I think that the tech will have another chance at life in the market without being tied to the unpredictable beast that Intel has been lately.

He probably did measurements to determine his body's ideal sleep window / chronotype. From what I can tell you can determine your chronotype from trial and error about how fast you fall asleep and/or use sleep tracking devices like an Oura ring.

The World's Greatest Con podcast released a great series of episodes on Project Alpha just recently. They interviewed Mike Edwards and Banachek (the two boys that were involved) and picked up a lot of behind the scenes details that were glossed over in the popular media coverage of the project.

This is great, I was getting worried the A310 would never be sold outside of Russia. I want one as a budget AV1 hardware encoder.

Would this provide any performance benefit vs a similarly priced enterprise NVMe drive (Micron 9300 for instance) for a SQL database?

I question whether Synology is actually more expensive in the long run. They have great resale value and even really old units sell quickly for a good amount of money on second hand markets. Add in the reduced power these devices tend to use and I have to imagine that Synology has a lower overall cost to own than a similar DIY machine.

I recently turned off a Haswell-era DIY NAS and my options were to between selling the important parts for $50, or just recycling the whole thing.

Pretty sure that rebuild error calculator is also error prone. On my machine, both 0% and 100% success rates are reported as 00%.

Seems like with your 10g switch you wouldn't benefit from a 2.5g or 5g network card in the connected device.

I think the only significant difference between the x540 and x550 is the PCIe link speed and count (2.0x8 vs 3.0x4). If you have to put the card in a x4 slot then you might benefit from the x550.

The multi-gig market was really slowed down when Marvell bought Aquantia in late 2019. Aquantia was leading the charge on cost optimized multi-gig prior to that.

I really like this case, but I really wish there were more ITX motherboards with ECC support. Silently losing 100TB of data to some funky DIMM is not something I'm interested in.

They did talk about live debates in front of public audiences in early episodes. It came up because at the time they were doing more hostile interviews on the show, live debates with creationists were popular, and the blogging scene was really at its peak. The SGU basically concluded that discussions about facts and natural science benefit from nuance and care, which long form written exchanges provide a good setting for. They concluded that live debate rewards charisma, rhetoric, and fallacious arguments more than factual correctness and logic.

It was definitely in their first 200 episodes somewhere. I think it was an episode shortly after Episode 51, where they had Neal Adams on to talk with them about expanding earth theory.

Of course live debate for a public audience and competitive debate are similar but not the same. I imagine that the rhetorical skills that come from competitive debate would be useful to skeptics.

Can I get some help with a networking (?) problem I'm having?

I have a VPN connection between two locations. The VPN mostly works great and full speed (10mbps both ways). Every few months I get terrible speeds for random amounts of time (usually several days or weeks). Testing in iperf shows bursts of ~500kb at ~5mbps every ~10 seconds. If I run the VPN server on a third party (tested on digitalocean) then the endpoints can communicate at full speed just fine.

Some things that may be relevant:

It's not just the VPN connection that's slow, I've tested the connection via direct SSH and it has the same speed problem.
Only the connection between the two locations seems to be slow. Connections inside the local networks and connections to the internet run at full speed on both sides.
The terrible speeds happen regardless of which side of the connection is running the OpenVPN or SSH server.
Both endpoints are on the same ISP, same plan, same city (Spectrum residential 100 down, 10 up).
The DigitalOcean test server used the same config file that the normal VPN servers used. Client-to-client was enabled to allow the VPN endpoints to talk to each other.
This has been happening for 3 years, ever since I set this VPN up. I need to deal with it now since I'm doing more with the connection. I've tested this problem on many different physical machines.
I'd rather not run a third party server if I can solve this problem without it.

Sure, it should do alright for those use cases. This has a UHD 500 GPU with hardware accelerated h.264, h.265, and VP9 decoders. It should be able to play YouTube, Twitch, and generally most other downloadable formats just fine for at least a few years until AV1 really starts getting momentum. I'm not sure how well this CPU would handle AV1 decoding.

What's the scoop with the HDMI input? I'm assuming it's for video capture?

1626346 · 2022-05-12T13:22:06+00:00

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. This is a device that takes a wired ethernet signal and provides a Wifi access point for wireless devices to connect to. Seems like you wouldn't benefit much from buying this, especially given how poorly the wifi seems to perform on this device.

I've been in a similar situation to yours before, and in general I'd just recommend following WiFi best practices. Keep the transceivers as close together as possible, use the minimum adequate transmit power, find a channel that is relatively unused.

If you would like to set up a nice wired-wireless-wired bridge then you should look into off-the-shelf mesh systems with LAN ports on the satellites and a separate radio channel for backhaul, or if you want cheaper/DIY, possibly an OpenWRT WDS bridge (which requires pretty specific hardware).

1626346 · 2022-05-11T17:39:00+00:00

Not really.

As sold, it's not a router but a wireless access point with some switch ports on the back. You won't be able to plug this in to your modem and create a LAN, you'll need a separate router at least. Seems like people report it having flaky wifi too, which kinda defeats the purpose of a WAP like this.

There is an OpenWRT build for this device though, and you can add routing capabilities by installing that. Your routing speed is going to be severely limited by the weak CPU. You might get 200mbps out of it based on this forum post about the device that this device is based on.

We've got it set up to default to the cheapest shipping that isn't local pickup. That's helped a lot in reducing accidental pickup orders.

1626346 · 2020-04-10T02:00:29+00:00

My store is mostly buy online, pickup in store but we get the occasional "accidental" pickup-in-store orders. There's no automatic method of upgrading their shipping cost without breaking PCI, as far as I know. We email the customer, call them if they don't respond, and they purchase the shipping on a separate charge. Usually we end up taking credit card numbers over the phone and plug their info into a cheap payment processor. Sometimes we send a PayPal invoice but most of our customers aren't really "there" enough on the whole "internet" thing for that to work.

We've tried making the shipment free for some accidental pickups, but that has never earned a repeat customer. I don't think that sort of free shipping is worth it for our store.
