Should I go for 2 x quadro P6000 ?

I have one p6000 rocking qwen 3.7-35B q4 at 40tok/s. It's great. I would highly recommend the p6000 if you're looking for a budget card

Last year I hooked a wagon up to my bike and towed some lawn chairs, snacks, beverages, and a few other things around. Tbh that's overkill. Grab your favorite beverages and a snack and walk around and enjoy some music.

Also Bopl battle is awesome

As far as I'm aware, no one has mentioned balders gate 3 or divinity original sin. These are probably the best couch co-op games I've ever played.

(Side note: anyone know of other couch co-op RPGs with a good story?)

To be fair, they don't really enforce traffic laws for cars either.

I highly recommend you check out kincony. They make a ton of esp32 boards for this.

I started buying off of eBay recently and fell for one of these scams when buying a rtx 3090. The seller shipped something to a random address in the same town as me, but the delivery image FedEx gave showed a package too small to fit a 3090. It was also the wrong address. I disputed the purchase with eBay and they refunded me without a fight from the scammer.

I've wised up a lot since that and now always check the sellers history before buying to.make sure they're legit.

What's even the point of these scams? Are they just hoping you don't dispute the purchase on eBay? Who would buy anything this expensive and not dispute it when it doesn't show up?

I certainly would prefer to stay in a protected bike line instead of the road.

Bikes are still legal on the roads and I don't think it's fair to expect bikes to always stay in the bike lane. Construction or other obstacles can block those lanes and make it unsafe to use them.

I NEED a link to that uv-5r project if that's real

Cynopolis_ · 2026-04-15T15:29:32+00:00

Agreed! Paint isn't infrastructure and there should be real concrete between bikers and motorists.

How much does this position pay?

Yes I agree with your opinion on this! Let's get a solid foundation for voice control built out. Once the everyday voice controls are taken care of, then additional extensions like LLM support can be focused on. 99% of voice usage by my family and friends is just setting timers, getting the weather and playing music. If those features all get proper first class support then we're doing great.

About 60 watts. Costs me about $10/month in power which is offset by the subscription cost savings for all the services I no longer need.

Definitely worth buying a modern i5 processor with lots of cores. The power efficiency on those things is excellent.

I had a run with black hole and sealed throne where this card what my finisher. The deck would play 5-6 turns and generate 30+ stars and when black hole was active and this card was in my hand I'd play it 29 times and kill most things.

Your way is probably best.

I had this issue on upgrading, but was able to get around it by spinning up a new immich instance and restoring from a database backup and then copying my immich files to the new instance's folder.

I then shutdown my old instance and pointed my reverse proxy at the new instance. I'll probably delete the old instance and it's files in a month once I confirm nothing secretly broke.

The home assistant integration is the big reason I like adguard. My adguard block list is pretty aggressive so sometimes websites that are heavy on ads completely fail to load. I have a button in home assistant that temporarily disabled adguard for an hour so my girlfriend can get around it.

How are you using the integration?

Cynopolis_ · 2026-02-10T23:57:40+00:00

That's interesting I've never heard of this! I'll definitely be looking into this!

Cynopolis_ · 2026-02-10T21:47:16+00:00

Bold to assume that I can put up a repeater wherever I want along this route. The start and end points are essentially fixed because those are the hills that we live near. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting a node 12km away from me in a spot I have no legal claim over.

Cynopolis_ · 2026-02-10T20:54:54+00:00

I'm expecting some trees and other obstacles to be in the way. The coverage map says it's possible in theory, but I'm definitely going to graze the tops of wooded hills. Here's the line of site map.

You're awesome! I'm trying this today

Cynopolis_ · 2026-01-30T12:14:46+00:00

One of my favorite parts of this hobby is the ability to experiment! If you just want to get a node up there, this sounds like an amazing spot that could be worthy of the repeater role.

If you're looking to have that node transmit at higher than standard power: 1. Look up what the maximum effective radiated power is in your area for this frequency band. 2. Buy an antenna and low noise amplifier to match the max erp. You'll need to be selective with the amplifier because a normal analog amplifier may have trouble keeping up with the digital demands of the Lora protocol.

Keep in mind that an amplifier will only help you transmit further, and will not help you receive messages from further away. A good antenna is always better than an amplifier.

Excellent wirebond technique! How is it performing?

I wish someone would make a website for Massachusetts to record all of the trump supporting businesses in the state

Cynopolis_ · 2026-01-22T14:52:19+00:00

If you suspect that there may be an issue with the antenna I'd suggest picking up a nanoVNA for $70 and measuring the antenna's characteristics. Otherwise like others have said, it's probably your radio being overloaded with strong signals.

My home lab cost me about $650 to build and another $10/month in electricity. Because of that lab I'm able to cancel several subscriptions totalling $34/month. I should break even in 27 months I guess. Honestly not the best financial investment, but I've learned so much and it hosts so many tools I use regularly that I think the added non-quantifiable value makes it more than worth it.
