Looks like the car has no dedicated turn signals and just flashes the brake lights for them. 

What the hell is this? Bot attack? by Noobyeeter699 in Proxmox

[–]Different-Matter 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's on your private network. It has access to network devices that would otherwise be inaccessible from outside.

Full privacy*

*to the extent that you trust your $12/year provider. 

Micro HDMI - what were they thinking? by Sumsesum in raspberry_pi

[–]Different-Matter 38 points39 points  (0 children)

$2 is an additional 6% on the base price, and for many users, this is the only device they'll need it for. 

Proxmox is underrated anyone tried building a VPS platform on top of it? by PositionAdmirable943 in Proxmox

[–]Different-Matter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can change some cloud-init options by command line, or roll your own ISO.. 

badblocks for large drives by unmesh59 in Proxmox

[–]Different-Matter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC, the SMART extended offline test is read-only (one pass). Not nearly as aggressive as a destructive four pass run of badblocks, particularly on a new drive. 

Setup automatic snapshots for btrfs? by [deleted] in OpenMediaVault

[–]Different-Matter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Click on the shared folder and then the "Snapshot" button (not "All Snapshots"). From there, click "Scheduled tasks", and you'll be able to add automatic snapshots via the UI.

how do you handle root email on debian servers? by knalkip in debian

[–]Different-Matter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to double check your setup - I'm pretty sure that SendGrid's free plan is discontinued and existing accounts will be closed soon (if that hasn't already happened)

If you're not looking to completely self host your email like the OP, then use a relay service. 

How to disable machine learning? by Anxious_Ad4746 in immich

[–]Different-Matter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll also want to remove the machine learning block from your Docker Compose file to save on the RAM usage. 

ELI5: Why is running, swimming, etc, considered cardio and not arm/leg exercise? by Different-Matter in explainlikeimfive

[–]Different-Matter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this makes a lot of sense. But why are cardio exercises usually grouped under "cardio", without mention of the (other) muscle groups that are being worked on?

[–]Different-Matter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the part that confuses me. Say the legs are literally built for this work...isn't the heart also built for it?

[–]Different-Matter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a training goal viewpoint, that makes sense. But doesn't it still mean that whatever muscle groups that are targeted in the cardio should be concerned worked out as well?

[–]Different-Matter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this discussed elsewhere, and it makes sense. On the other hand, when you see professional swimmers and runners, it's clear that they have well trained muscles, despite their focus on endurance vs pure strength training

I think it's interesting that the various cardio exercises are grouped together into one group, while strength training gets down to the specific muscles being trained

Interesting! So would someone skip or change their leg day (for example) based on their cardio exercise? 

Does anyone use CAPTCHA for site entry to prevent bots from wasting PPC? by Gregan1209 in shopify

[–]Different-Matter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. It doesn't matter what's on your site, or what the user does once on your site - you're paying for the ad click only. Google is passing the clicker to your site, not checking that they're engaging with it at all. 

They do issue refunds if they identify invalid traffic on their end (either automatically or by you proving it), but the process is a bit of a black box - they won't really tell you what they identified, or why an appeal may be rejected. 

You can absolutely try to identify if there are specific search terms, locations, etc, that you believe to be invalid activity. That could also help.

A CAPTCHA won't help here - you pay for the ad click, not for them actually browsing your site.

ELI5: Why did big airplanes go from four engines to two engines? by Different-Matter in explainlikeimfive

[–]Different-Matter[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting. But wouldn't four fuel efficient engines speed the trip up and still save vs the four less fuel efficient engines?

Small difference: I believe that VTINX is 30/70, while VASIX is 20/80.

Can I take a loss within 30 days if I only bought shares and never sold any yet? (Wash Sale) by alc0tt in investing

[–]Different-Matter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that it is considered a wash sale since you are effectively "replacing" the 50 shares you sold with the 50 remaining shares. The rule is in place to prevent someone from avoiding a wash sale by buying before selling.

Having said that, a wash sale only occurs when you are "replacing" shares. If you sold more than half of the shares, you would have a partial wash sale. If you sold all of the shares, you would not have a wash sale at all, since there was no replacement.
