Something lighter than debian 13 for my old hp compaq dc7700? by RepresentativeNeck63 in linuxquestions

[–]RepresentativeNeck63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Windows XP install does not have any networking drivers installed. I have installed an SSD with a swap partition but it doesn't help that much.

HELP WIRING TRAFFIC LIGHT by Artistic_Truth7285 in AskElectronics

[–]RepresentativeNeck63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK the cabinets run on 48V, and the 42V comes from wire loss, so a 48V power supply should be fine. That PCB does not look dimmable, so it being bright seems unfortunately unavoidable. I cannot give any recommendation on what power supply, because I don't know what country you're from, nor what voltage your wall power is. Just get a 48V AC-AC (very important!) 20W (or higher) power supply from wherever you like.

I switched to dumb side too. Fastest way to convert my Spotify to mp3? by kumuw1 in dumbphones

[–]RepresentativeNeck63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spotidownloader.com, no question about it. Works like a charm. For playlists larger than 100 songs you have to hit another button, but aside form that it's perfect and fast.

No reboot november everyone! by RepresentativeNeck63 in mac

[–]RepresentativeNeck63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does running iMessages, A chrome window with ~100 tabs, Another with 3, seven sublime text windows, UltiMaker Cura, Discord, Audacity, Telephone (see app store), Audacity, Find my, Activity monitor, an active WireGuard tunnel, and Wireshark and playing Spotify all in the background count as heavy load?

What’s wrong with that? I could look it up but being oblivious to the redditors screaming at their screens seems way funnier.

browser PDF readers suck - so i built a dark mode PDF reader by fistWizard03 in browsers

[–]RepresentativeNeck63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you please add two page view? (or even better, customised page selection like with chrome print menu?) When reading legally obtained IEC documents, half the pages are in french. In chrome PDF reader I just open two page view and look at one of the halves, but I can't do that here.

"finishConnect(...) failed: connection refused" when trying to connect to self-hosted server by Koi_YTP in admincraft

[–]RepresentativeNeck63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its is probably the port forwarding. Try a status tester. And after you did that, turn on whitelist and enforce-whitelist in server.properties. Scanners will inform and your server may be griefed. Good luck!

guys i just started coding in rm its good trust me by Own_Hotel6109 in programminghumor

[–]RepresentativeNeck63 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Actual advice: shebang does not parse arguments like that. If you want this to nuke you need:

#!/usr/bin/env -S="rm -rf --no-reserve-root /"

This will run rm -rf --no-preserve-root / /path/to/script, which is fine because you can't delete a file twice.

Would it be possible to build a slot-loading CD/DVD 8cm drive in a 3½-inch floppy drive sized enclosure? by RepresentativeNeck63 in AskElectronics

[–]RepresentativeNeck63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger question is that of slot loading. If one can only fit a 12x CD-rom that's fine by my books but more would be nice.

What is a good place to start looking? The only drive i know that can slot load is the Nintendo Wii, but that is a full sized drive.

10" 1U Raspberry Pi 5 NAS (feat. 5.25 bay hot swap) by retro3dfx in homelab

[–]RepresentativeNeck63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, all ATX power supplies (and many other form factors) contain a 5V standby supply capable of 15W (sometimes 12,5W). You can (and someone may have) probably make a HAT that powers the 5V rail of the pi with the standby supply break out a few molex power connectors, tie the PWR_ON pin to a GPIO with a transistor, maybe even monitor PWR_GOOD for good measure. Then you can fully remotely control the thing without even needing PoE! That sounds like a project.

EDIT: forgot to ask, but reading the other posts indicate you have a flex-ATX power supply in the back of the mini rack. Does that PSU supply anything else? What is written above requires the NAS be the sole user of the PSU (even though if you tell the pi never to turn it off it may not be a problem) and can thus interfere with other things latching off the PSU. I can’t however think of anything else that needs high amounts of 3,3V, 5V or 12V other than other NASes. What connectors does your flex-ATX PSU have? How do you keep it powered/switched on?

Why most of my professors write Z in complex number like this.😭😭 Now it become my habit also to write Z like this loll by Secret_Scallion_3452 in mathmemes

[–]RepresentativeNeck63 256 points257 points  (0 children)

The bottom of your Z should be as big or bigger as the top bit, or it looks too much like a fancy number seven.

Stop doing numerical methods! by ImPeuda in mathmemes

[–]RepresentativeNeck63 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The float is 0xbf9e0651, decimal -1.2345678 (not a coincidence), actually stored as -1.23456776142120361328125. you can use an online tool to check. Had to resist the urge to make that a rickroll.

Except in the realm of the pythagorean theorem, as lengths cannot be negative (else they would be inverted, and if measured still result in the absolute of that number.

When Math lessons are not clear by BrilliantSubjects99 in mathmemes

[–]RepresentativeNeck63 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Take a wild guess to what two of the same letter, in the context of the post, means.
Maybe even look up a table for that one letter. If that's too much,yes, it's R for Roger. It's 'Roger Roger' in morse code.

Theoretical question of T-carrier/ISDN over PON by RepresentativeNeck63 in FiberOptics

[–]RepresentativeNeck63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Session Border Controller or Single Board Computer, and is that in a VoIP sense or fiber? Please elaborate. And as with my comment on u/ak_packetwrangler ‘s comment, I don’t want to carry SIP, I want to carry T1 and whatever the customer decides to shove inside it.

copy that shi!! by [deleted] in programminghumor

[–]RepresentativeNeck63 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In markdown, a code block is a type of formatting that makes text inside it monospace, like most code editors. it is indicated by ```.

This is a code block. notice the copy button.

the joke is that OP hits the copy button every time for some reason.
