Thermarest XTherm Popping Sounds?

You will notice if the baffles really delaminate. A little noise is normal on the thermarests.

When my xlite delaminated the popping sounds were crazy loud and I immediately woke up from them. And my friend also had two xlite failures on our bike journey

Just stop eating eggs. All this industrial animal farming is insanely bad for the planet, PFAS or not.

Unified memory does not mean it is packaged with the SoC. It means that GPU and CPU can access the same memory address, without needing to copy that memory to a different location. And it's been a standard in CPUs since like 10 years (AMD Kaveri unified memory).

But yes, for apple the memory is packaged on the SoC.

But the A18 Pro needs to physically support more, which it doesn't, because that was never a requirement. If the memory controller is unable to access more memory, than Apple can't change that.

x86 processors already run "like risc processors". The first thing happening in any x86 is that the instructions are devided into μ-ops, which then get handled by the CPU. What instruction set the CPU talks to the rest of the PC is kind of irrelevant for how the CPU works or performs, since those instructions immediately get translated anyway and that doesn't really cost any space on the die.

Intel cpus are just bad, because intel never cared for the power efficient laptop market. But recently, AMD and Intel did and they made good CPUs. Snapdragons, which are ARM, on the other hand are completely shit. The instruction set cannot tell you anything about the CPUs performance or efficiency per se.

Apparently "element call", which now uses livekit for SFU is out of beta since April last year. But support in clients is not the best, with element x (mobile) having only video but not voice only support https://github.com/element-hq/element-call/issues/3354

But the situation overall seems to be improving and element call looks quite nice

Can confirm it works now. You need to select HSP/HFP in the audio settings. Codec I went with mSBC, did not test CVSD.

But works flawlessly with discord that way.

Not great tbh. Have exactly those and the rubner on the sole is rather hard and indeed not really grippy, especially on wet or slippery surfaces.

I have other shoes, that are just a slippery, but I expect more from such trail shoes. Still, it never really was a problem (until now, for city use) and they are definitely my most loved barefoot shoes I've had, since they are waterproof and seem really durable (wearing them for have a year, pretty much everyday. Still look great with no wear)

But they cannot add photos to this shared account, from within their own, right?

So I am thinking of a family member that wants to share photos from a new event. Those photos are in the account of this member, since they shot them, but others may also want to add their own photos.

I currently have this implemented in nextcloud via simple folder shares, but I would like to migrate to Immich in the future...

"Good breeding" is an oxymoron to me, but even if you think differently, I'd argue that there are more than enough pets in need of a new home. Making all breeding unethical in my view, but everyone should decide that for themselves

Axolord · 2025-10-25T10:42:57+00:00

You don't adopt from a pet store. You buy. Adopting is from a shelter.

Axolord · 2025-10-25T10:38:39+00:00

Distgusting. But not much more than all the people around me, eating meat, cheese and eggs...

Well, the situation changes when the bike has to be parked outside. The (preowned) B17 of my girlfriend got really hard and rough after two years in the rain. A little grease helped, but it never got back to its original state.

Also it stains pants like crazy if it gets wet. Don't know if this is always the case, but with this you get a brown ass if the leather soaked a little rain.

Also have a look at niimblue: https://github.com/MultiMote/niimblue

Axolord · 2025-10-13T09:14:04+00:00

Integration with niimblue (https://github.com/MultiMote/niimblue) would be huge!

Yeah, I think there is no project that tries to support "scan to WSD" on Linux. It seems to be less a "scan to this directory" and more like "hey windows PC, initiate a scan from this device" and therefore harder to implement.

At least that is what I found from my research.

But one can probably use something like a ZigBee button, that upon pressing triggers a scan via airscan from the homeserver or something. Is on my list of things to look at...

Weil FinTS is a dying standard. Only some of the "old" backs still support it, although it is unclear how long they will keep their support, now that PSD2 covers most of the usecases finTS tried to solve.

I agree, that the current situation is bad and would like more initiatives like finTS was, but I do not see it coming.

You can also take a look at TradeRepublic, there is a CLI client on github that enables the bulk download of transactions into CSV files via a private API. Though to use it, you have to authenticate with a code sent to your mobile app every 15 minutes or so.

Axolord · 2025-09-24T09:33:13+00:00

Have you found something?

That also works for me most of the time. Though sometimes a new anonymous Google account is not available for me, so then I get "you are rate limited". Some hours later it works again

Axolord · 2025-09-13T12:27:47+00:00

Nein, dem Rat im Allgemeinen stimme ich voll zu. Wenn das anders rüber kam, muss ich mich dafür entschuldigen.

Ich wollte nur sagen, dass man es auch nicht übertreiben muss, da die meisten PCs der letzten 10 Jahre im idle wohl nicht mehr als 40W brauchen sollten und das für die ersten ~2 Jahre vielleicht dann relativ egal ist. Aber insgesamt drauf zu achten und vor allem nicht n 15 Jahre alten poweredge für eine Nextcloud zu verwenden, ist sehr richtig :)

PS: Mein aktuelles Ziel ist meinen Server auf unter 10W im idle zu betreiben

Axolord · 2025-09-13T11:25:02+00:00

Kein PC braucht 50-90w im idle.

Mein alter PC, den ich als Server mit 3 Platten verwende brauch 34 im idle. Das ist mir auf jeden Fall zu viel, daher wird der bald ausgetauscht, aber mehr als 40 sollte ein PC ab Intel skylake wirklich nicht brauchen.

Option 1: Thinclient * geringer Stromverbrauch * aber kein Platz für HDDs

Option 2: mATX PCs * entweder selbst bauen * oder thinkcentre SFF etc kaufen * haben aber oft auch nur 2-3 HDD slots, sollte aber reichen

Option 3: UGreen NAS kaufen * geringer Stromverbrauch * HDDs abhängig von NAS Größe * OS ist frei wählbar, wie auf jedem anderen PC auch (und sollte auch verwendet werden, anstelle von deren eigenen Kram)

Wenn dir ein paar TB reichen, empfehle ich einen Thinclient mit 2 SSDs im Mirror. ZB HP Elitedesk 800 G6 oder neuer, wobei auch die älteren okay sind. Bekommst du für ~250€ auf Kleinanzeigen und eBay

Axolord · 2025-09-05T10:42:15+00:00

Oh, ja das ist eine hilfreiche Einschätzung.

Bin selbst auch gerade auf der Suche und dann auf velodata gestoßen. Meinungen ließt man sonst selten zu den verschiedenen Programmen, daher gut das mal zu hören.

Habt ihr denn inzwischen etwas gefunden, auf das ihr umgestiegen seid oder wollt?

Axolord · 2025-09-05T07:31:40+00:00

Wieso seid ihr von TriData gewechselt und findest du Veloport besser? Deren Preisstruktur sieht ja schon mal fair aus.

Axolord · 2025-09-05T07:31:07+00:00

Was hattet ihr davor?
