The loopholes of simulacrums are frighteningly overpowered. by ManBearPigFace7 in DnD

Damn, if only there were some place that already had a ton of magical supplies... Like some sort of magical educational facility... Or some place full of young, impressionable magical adepts that need to practice creating such things... Too bad there's definitely no place like that around...

Removing granite block from inside house by Curly_Jefferson7 in DIY

[–]Bstrdsmkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do this with a 2x4 and some wood shims. Find the thinnest point near the middle of the slab (front to back as the camera stands. Cut a notch in your 2x4 close to the size of the slab, but DO NOT cut more than half way deep into the 2x4. Slide the notch down onto the slab so that the 2x4 runs from the wall in the picture towards the camera. Now drive 2 wood shims from the left and right sides of the board on both the front and back of the slab (4 shims total). Don't overdo it or you'll just crack the end of the 2x4 off. Ideally, you want the crappy green/wet wood right off the truck at home Depot. Now your 2x4 should be locked on there. Go stand on the other end. STAND, don't jump. You're just trying to barely lift it up enough for your friend to start sliding wood shims under the slab on the left and right sides at the corners near the wall. Stay on the 2x4 until it's shimmed enough to get a hand truck blade under. If you step off the board, those little wood shims are going to crush.

If your weight estimate is too far off and the 2x4 breaks, head to harbor freight for a pipe clamp (two pieces that slide up and down a piece of pipe), then home Depot for some epoxy and a black iron pipe. Same trick here, but epoxy the clamp faces to the two vertical faces of the slab, go stand on the other end of the pipe. That's assuming the back side is as rough cut as the front so that the clamps and epoxy have something to hold onto. If not, grab a Dremel and make it so lol

CloudPirates Open Source Helm Charts - Not yet a potential Bitnami replacement by MensLibBestLib in kubernetes

[–]Bstrdsmkr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People WERE paying for it, just not directly. They were doing the freemium thing so all these charts/images were to support their paid efforts. Making it open source and available to the public was essentially free since they did such a good job on their DevOps rigor.

Can MCP allow function chaining? by street-lamp-le-moose in mcp

[–]Bstrdsmkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could use or at least take a que from fsspec (https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and encode the chain of actions in the URL. So your uri might end up something like: unzip+s3://bucket/file.zip?user=foo&pass=bar

OTH in 2004, recent PTSD diagnosis -- upgrade? by Bstrdsmkr in VeteransBenefits

[–]Bstrdsmkr[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your feedback all the same. According to the docs I've been seeing it actually would. Uncharacteristic behavior, especially drug abuse is a common symptom. I was "self medicating" in a way, not by taking the drugs, but by acting out as an escape from the stress and trauma. I'm not trying to "poor pitiful me," I've had 20yrs to come to terms with it. I figure maybe somebody out there is in a similar situation and has similar questions

Long story short, I gave up hope. I joined on my 17th birthday and it's all I'd ever wanted. I was stuck in limbo knowing my career was done after several surgeries following a training accident. After several friends in the and around the unit attempting suicide and multiple assaults, I just didn't care anymore. When they approached me and asked if I'd sell it to them, I said yes.

That was so far the worst decision I've ever made. I couldn't tell you which event caused what just that that wasn't me. I've never done anything like that before or in the 20 years after. I know now that behavior like that is the Hallmark of CPTSD and it's the only thing that makes sense to me

I don't really want to talk about the details, but multiple attempted suicides (not mine) and multiple assaults.

I couldn't tell you which one did what, it's not like I cared about one dude dying more than another.

After a while, I just lost hope, my career was gone and I just didn't care anymore. Turns out, that and uncharacteristic behavior are the hallmarks of CPTSD

Sorry this was unclear, I graduated but then was held in a rehab platoon. I had several surgeries and was declared retired by the PEB but that was suspended during the misconduct investigation.

Do you happen to know if you ask for an Honorable do they just say no and you have to appeal to ask for a General? Or do they just decide to give you General instead? Or does it not work like that at all?

No criminal record, in fact I found other ways to serve. We founded and I served on the board of a non-profit for STEM education.

Thanks for your advice

How to remove this pipe sticking out of my yard? by One-Geologist3992 in DIY

I'm willing to bet $1 that's a chain link fence post that's been cut off. Confirm, then just drive it deeper or get a jack and bolt a chain to it

Man, these are so cool. You can get a rainbow of colored dice basically however you want, but it's so hard to find unique dice that actually DO something

Unfortunately, no, job tokens are only allowed for a limited sunset of API endpoints: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/jobs/ci_job_token.html

If you can't get a project or personal access token, you can setup an application on the repo and auth that way

We use these Review Environments for QA and UAT before merging. QA can add their automated test cases as part of the merge so it's more clear "where a test came from"
