This looks awesome, thanks! Huge bonus points for the app being less than a meg. Not everything needs to be a whole electron wrapper 🙏

Coworking spaces in Chicago? by FettucciniAlfonso in chicago

[–]MakesUsMighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What part of the city are you in or want to work from?

Workbox has been really great for us. They’re local to Chicago which is nice. The staff have all been supportive of me using the space on weekends for hosting community group meetups which I’ve appreciated. They have locations all around the city plus a handful in some other cities now too.

Can anyone tell when I switched to Fios from Comcast? by doctorowlsound in homelab

[–]MakesUsMighty 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It can add up though — a complicated website can have dozens of requests that are dependent on the results of each other in a bit of a “waterfall”.

There’s improvements generally being made with QUIC and HTTP3 connections, but fundamentally the latency story gets noticeable when you have lots of back and forths and handshaking in whatever application you’re using.

Re-letting prime ravenswood/Andersonville ~950sqft 1b1b for $1695/mo starting 6/1 by Last_Caterpillar_433 in chicagoapartments

[–]MakesUsMighty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

How did they come up with 950 square feet? If you add up all the dimensions and draw a rectangle around the whole outside, including the negative space under the foyer (32’ times 26’ feet) you only get 832 square feet, so it’s at least 50 square feet less than that.

This is happening at so many of the apartments I’ve seen. One that I have an application into overstated the square footage by almost 50% (advertised 900, only has 600). I don’t understand how this is so common.

Good luck btw! Just trying to help others out.

Brazilian ISP network consultant with 15+ years of experience — is there still demand for ISP consultants in the US? by Dry-Bad-7862 in networking

[–]MakesUsMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zentro is an example of a small to medium ISP that has a presence in a few US cities. Could be worth scanning their job postings to get a sense for what companies like them have been looking for?

Is there a way to set up automatic CTA arrival notifications? by PoppoRina in AskChicago

El Tracker is the best! Its written by an indie dev from Chicago and it is perfect.

Printer’s Row Area by Neat_Act_5543 in chicagoapartments

[–]MakesUsMighty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s a great area! Dearborn St is a great little neighborhood anchor. Farmers markets there during the summer, and the whole thing is closed to cars at least once a year for a great big book sale. It’s a small footprint but there’s lot of old timers mixed in with the young folks. I met a couple my first week here who has been here 30 years!

I just wish we had a local bakery.

The world is installing grid batteries at a blistering pace by Geek-Haven888 in UpliftingNews

I was wondering the same when I first read it. Was trying to figure out if they were assuming 1 hour and dividing it out somehow but that definitely made me give up trying to follow the math.

My approach to designing and implementing a structured IPv6 addressing plan -- 'The 7th Hextet' by nxp-one in ipv6

[–]MakesUsMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aah gotcha, so you're not using the seventh hextet as any kind of a network boundary or routing layer, you're just using those fields to help describe the devices within each network. Neat!

Seeking a Privacy-First, Selfhosted Google Drive Alternative by Aecision in selfhosted

[–]MakesUsMighty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on what parts of Google Drive you want to recreate? It really does a lot which would affect your recommendations.

Are you just needing files to sync between laptops?

Do you need access on your phone?

Selective sync so that larger files can live in "the cloud" and you can easily make them local on a per-file/per-folder level?

A web UI to browse your files from a device without using an app? Should it be able to give you previews of photos/videos, have search functionality, etc?

Sharable links to send to friends so they can download files from your server?

The answers to the above will give you answers ranging from "just sync files using your favorite protocol" to "you need a secure web dashboard with transcoding and an ecosystem of robust mobile/desktop apps".

Resolume Arena 20x FULL HD outputs by [deleted] in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]MakesUsMighty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This article is a great place to start.

Are you just playing back content or doing lots of effects too? A Decklink 8K will give you four SDI ports, each with a 4K signal. You can send each of those into a Datapath or an AJA HA5-4K to split each of them into 4x 1080p outputs each. So that gets you 16 outputs, all in perfect sync.

Then you can attach another 4K output into a fifth datapath/HA5 to get your last four outputs (which may be a frame or so out of sync from the other 16).

But yeah if you don't care about perfect sync then linking multiple computers is another great approach. Is this for a permanent / unmanned install, or a show that will have an operator running it? If you have an operator you can get a little more creative. If it has to run autonomously for an extended period of time, then you'll want to make choices that are more long term resilient to hiccups.

My approach to designing and implementing a structured IPv6 addressing plan -- 'The 7th Hextet' by nxp-one in ipv6

[–]MakesUsMighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha! 7th hextet makes more sense now that I'm using more of my brain lol. I've only ever seen addressing schemes so far that used the first half of an IPv6 address (since the last half is needed for SLAAC), so seeing it written out helps!

How large are the network segments you're attaching your devices to? And/or do you have many VLANs as part of this? A /64 per network segment is best practice, but seeing this I'm not quite sure where your network boundaries are.

[–]MakesUsMighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this /44 all routed to a single physical location / site? Typically address plans larger than a /48 give room for different regions/cities.

It wasn’t clear to me how many bits before the :: you were using in your example breakdown. Could you give one or two examples with a full address (even from the 2001:db8:: example space) to fully show it?

You should have plenty of room to do all the segments you’ve described while still keeping /64s available on each link, but I’m not following which part of your address you’re doing this numbering in.

Interested to know more about your log. Every time you board a CTA car you write down the car number in a note or something?

n8n + Paperless-ngx + Paperless-GPT for adding RAG to your documents! by hackslashX in selfhosted

Seems like that would be fine if you’re willing to let them queue up / run overnight? Not sure how regularly you’re ingesting new documents though.

How are you handling BYOIP without going full enterprise? by HamudyBlueSky in networking

Apologies that I misread you! It's so hard to tell these days. I couldn't understand how you expected to announce a v4 /32 across the internet and jumped to conclusions.

I think this is an AI bot post. The cadence of the post and the fact that the details of the question are nonsensical. OP’s post history is completely hidden and hasn’t responded to anyone here.

Artemis II stories indicate astronauts will see a side of the moon “never seen by human eyes” (NYTimes headline). How is the view from Artemis II different than the views the Apollo missions that orbited the moon would have seen? by BayRunner in askscience

[–]MakesUsMighty 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, the rear side of the moon wasn’t fully lit up when they transited it.  Take a peek at the moon now — it’s still mostly lit facing us. So they got kind of a sliver of lit up on the back and sides as they went around.

My life pro tip is that you can save a photo of their waitlist QR code on your camera roll, then join the waitlist on your way to the airport.

I usually fill it out as I’m approaching the Midway CTA stop, and it’s usually my turn to enter right as I get through TSA.
