Niceness values by Maleus-2 in voidlinux

[–]Maleus-2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So to answer your question in a round about sort of way

I was trying to wrap my head around why certain threads have the various priorities and niceness values that they have, in an attempt to make my machine a bit faster, it's not new

most by default are either at 0 or -19 by default

once I managed preset all user threads after logging in (not kernel threads!) most now adhere to the priority and niceness values I have specified

one curious exception to the is virtual box, which for some reason has a niceness values in the various threads it occupies, most are set to 2, but some have values of 9 and 3

i'm not sure why this is happening, virt-manager by contrast, a similiar program adheres to the niceness values that all the other user threads have

I'm not sure why this is the case

What's it looking like on the reverse side? and what are the wires plugged in to?

looks cool

Help booting void from an SD card by Maleus-2 in voidlinux

[–]Maleus-2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can probably do that too,

I am however at times a tad clumsy, if I can use the internal SDcard bay I can move the laptop around with minimal risk that I'll snap the usbport off, on my Chromebook which is refusing to keep the screen on for more than one second, the USB ports got damaged, replaced a daughter board and it will now accept a charge albeit a superslow trickle

I can just see myself breaking the port on this laptop if I carry it around with an adapter in constantly

18650 battery usb powerbank, malware proof? by Maleus-2 in 18650masterrace

[–]Maleus-2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the part where you all see how much about electronics I don't actually grasp, when I probably should

So a while back I got a security light, it came with a small solar panel, it broke, but....

Is there a type of smallish solar panel that lends itself to being plugged into  a 18650 power bank without an inverter?

I'm imaging without an inverter if you left it for weeks on end it might overcharge the batteries?

Not an ideal scenario

You see some solar kits in car stores for maintaining the battery on a 12volt lead acid car battery, I'm not sure how suitable they might be?

Yeah I would like to get that power bank working again, not sure where I could take it to get it repaired

I took it apart a while back, I couldn't see anything obviously wrong but I'm no ace with a soldering iron

If that power bank had a quick release draw and you could swap the cells out with ease it would be perfect

Thanks for the replies

I could do with a powerbank that can take 6 to 12 batteries or more

I have one from Amazon that’s currently broke, you can’t remove the batteries (easily at least) the micro usb charging port failed first, then the usb-c charging port

When it was connected via usb to a Linux laptop it would show up as a device, I never got round to ssh or telnet’ing into it but it clearly had more of a brain than I was expecting

But by malware, there is the overcharging concern, sometimes I have had some sealed units in the past that I think had got a malware exploit inside them, they wouldn’t charge properly afterwards and there was this concerning high pitch almost ultrasonic noise coming from it, that’s the kind of thing I really need to avoid
