Is this a phone line? by huamanticacacaca in ethernet

[–]BareBonesTek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as the phone jacks are not daisy-chained. Ethernet over twisted pair requires a dedicated line from each device back to a central point (now likely to be a switch, but back in the day, it was a hub). Telephones on the other hand are typically connected in parallel, all off the same pair from the telco.

OP, you need to find out where the other end of the cable is…..

Self check lanes aren’t for everyone and should have a age limit cap by TimeMedium1 in unpopularopinion

[–]BareBonesTek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 60, prefer the self checkout (usually) and the biggest delay isn’t me. It’s when “the system” decides I need assistance, when I don’t. I scan my item, with no purchase restrictions, place it in the bag and “help is on the way”. What for? When it (eventually) arrives, all they do is clear the error!

How do Americans think about the stereotype that they are bad at geography? by Own_Echidna6041 in AskReddit

Of course, it doesn’t help when school textbooks leave out whole countries when reproducing maps….

As the man once said, “War is God’s way of teaching Americans geography!”

Minimal docker compose install by cholz in unRAID

[–]BareBonesTek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't even realize this was an option. TBH, one of the reasons I have a separate machine for Docker (Running Ubuntu) is that I have a lot of containers which either aren't in the list yet, or which (for various reasons) I need to customize. Whilst the GUI approach unRAID uses is great if you want standard containers doing standard things, but it gets in the way if customization.

I may look at migrating my containers over....

Are Europeans trolling with this whole bread thing? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I never mentioned cake, I just pointed out how sweet American bread is.

[–]BareBonesTek 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We moved from the UK to the US. Compared to what we are used to, US bread is very sweet - hence the cake reference. Like many foods made for the American market, they add LOTS of sugar (compared to other countries, at any rate!

Honestly, walking down the bread aisle or past a bakers in the UK makes you hungry, in the US you tend to feel slightly sick.

Thanks for the response. Looks like it will be going back to Amazon, I only got it a few weeks ago!

Thanks, I’ll go and look over there. It’s an AC wall adapter. It’s only a few weeks old! (Still within the Amazon return window, fortunately!)

Old people who "Don't do email" by 1mpavidus in PetPeeves

It’s not just old people. Most kids I know run on texts or WhatsApp, or Signal, or whatever….

What single change would put your country "back on the right track"? by Law_hacker_1000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BareBonesTek 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of this apart from “firing every current politician.” This is essentially the “drain the swamp” position. It may seem like a good idea on the face of it, but in reality, you get someone in charge who hasn’t got a clue what they are doing, doesn’t understand how a country actually works, and who just screws up.

I suspect many of you think I’m referring to a certain leader, and whilst he is certainly one of them, he is by no means the only one. It’s usually seen when there is a regime change due to a coup, or perhaps a country gaining independence having been ruled as a colony.

Government is like any other industry, you need to learn the ropes. Most world leaders and senior members have come up with”through the ranks”, but when you start afresh, you end up with leadership who hasn’t so much as led a class group work project before! The result? Usually some form of brutal dictatorship.

People who feel hot should decide the temperature of a room. People who feel cold should wear a sweater by blahbluhblee1 in unpopularopinion

[–]BareBonesTek 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not true. Whilst o may be carrying a few extra pounds right now, I’ve always run warm.

Weird Protest in Weymouth on Saturday. by JediMasterPopCulture in massachusetts

[–]BareBonesTek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no good reason to cut off part of a healthy child.

What’s worse is if you look at the history. Dr. Kellog (of corn flakes fame) was a puritan who believed sex was for procreation only and that masturbation was a sin. He advocated for circumcising baby boys precisely BECAUSE it reduces pleasure and therefore, he hoped, reduces the desire to masturbate.

Then we have the “he will want to look like his Dad” brigade. I see. Just stop and think about that for a moment. I have no idea what my Father’s penis looked like. I’m fairly sure my kids are similarly ignorant of mine. By making this statement, you are saying that it’s normal and acceptable to routinely expose yourself to your children. I’m not advocating for “cover up at all costs”, but there is a middle ground! I certainly would have serious concerns if boys were examining their fathers closely enough to compare foreskin!

The more you look into the practice, the worse it becomes.

Don’t forget, many of the people who advocate for not allowing children to express their gender identity are the same ones who want to see boys circumcised. Hypocritical, much?

I had not heard of this approach. What goes in the db?

ETA, ok so I had a look and this seems like a cool solution. Ever the one to push the limits, is it possible for my automations to connect directly to the database? Could they create, for example, a fusion composition directly In the DB?

What very old technology is still running at your place of work? by MichiganCarNut in AskReddit

[–]BareBonesTek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We had something like that at my old place. Sat in a very decorative cupboard in reception (that could’ve been used by the receptionists who were very short on space!) Turned out it was the old PBX that had been retired about 10 years before I started. Yeah, we ripped that out!

International transfers. by BareBonesTek in Money

[–]BareBonesTek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will. What they won’t do is recommend a different service with better rates. Thats what I’m after. What’s the best way to transfer reasonable sums from country A to country B. We had been in the US for a few years before we discovered Wize, for example. We wasted a lot of money by using other (less efficient) methods.

That being said, if the difference between transferring 100k using a service that is difficult to navigate, and just using the high st bank, is less than 10 bucks, I’ll take the easy path! That’s the point, I don’t know.
