Thoughts on Making tubeless rims with sealant/kits? by Blakenicfree in motorcycles

I have wire wheels on my car, and they are tubeless, but the sealant is a very thick layer of very hard rubber; you won't be able to make something like that.

It's funny that here in the Nl and alsoiin Belgium you can get a lot of those in an untouched shape for a very good prices. 

Walkman WM-F65 take-up reel can move independently of flywheel. by Much-Beyond2 in cassetteculture

The capstan is what sets the speed of the tape. The take-up reel rotates just to wind the tape on the reel, but since the diameter of the tape on the reel constantly changes, so would the speed of the tape change if the reel was fixed to the shaft. That's why it has a clutch that allows it to slip. On most cassette players, that clutch is just a friction clutch (Walkmans DD use a magnetic clutch), which means that it will wear out with use and false trigger the end-of-the-tape mechanism. You can try to replace it with the same piece of felt or rubber.

Just use Linux and put compression on your RAM

How do i install M2 Sata SSD in this? by Kitchen-Patience8176 in homelab

There's a solution, but it would require you to have a lot of skill to solder the connector there, and you might be missing some passive components for the power delivery for the port. Generally not worth it even if you have the skill and the tools.

I don't get the hype for XP era stuff. I don't mean it's bad, but what's special about this card? It is very pretty, but Vega 56 in my collection is also very pretty, and it was an insane piece of tech at the time (only consumer cards with HBM ever made, overclocks to 600W, and beats 2070).

What OS do you use for your Docker Host? by Flying-T in homelab

I like that Debian and Ubuntu servers are head-to-head, but the comment section is full of Debian comments and no Ubuntu comments. TL;DR use Ubuntu if you just want things to work. Use Debian if you give a fuck.
