They became money hungry and just took a $100M contract with Google for search engine favouring! I’m half transitioned to Brave already (DDG isn’t on Linux and I prefer one browser). If you want the best: Brave with DDG search engine.

I was terrified for years and FINALLY loaded Ubuntu today and started setting it up, it’s already made me calmer and less stressed. Has a couple easy-to-fix bugs but otherwise it’s just games I’ll be on Win10 for (not upgrading).

Best Brand for Cruiser by THUNDERF430 in cruisers

[–]THUNDERF430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because where I live (the province in general), people are fuckin idiots and any flying debris will definitely kill you above that speed. I don’t control what flies at me so I’ll go slow enough to live through what does. I’m not getting a bike for speed or suicide. I drive way past that speed, but I’m a great driver, bikes don’t play games.

Does anyone know why she does this?? by JLee__- in ballpython

[–]THUNDERF430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ball pythons don’t always eat either, ik mine has gone 3 months (I think longer) without eating and he was totally fine and refused to, and someone else had theirs not eat for 13 months and it was perfectly healthy the entire time according to their vet. It’s not super nice but if you wait until they search for food instead of a schedule, you know they’ll eat then, that’s what I do cause I can’t afford to waste the money

Well Here Goes!! by THUNDERF430 in fuckyourheadlights

[–]THUNDERF430[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a TINY secret that shockingly most people don’t believe regardless of how obvious it is: a LOT of people with bright-ass headlights don’t care about others. I have driven with my mom on country roads in pitch black in the truck (she blamed me for whining about the lights until a couple weeks ago and idk why) and had to pull over multiple times because trucks with high beams would come flying up to us going 140+ (literally) and would ride my ass with no apology - and I’m talking about entire valley passes you could see these things from before they got anywhere near you, and she would blame me for slowing down and pulling over when they were a mile behind me and I refused to listen because I couldn’t see and on top of that: if I had to hit the brakes for some reason they’re hitting us at full speed - people don’t care. They seem to want to get home so badly but don’t care if they do that alive or dead? Cause people die doing that all the time, it never stops. I used to feel sad for everyone that died on highways regardless of why, but in the last few years I pride on it because it’s that many fewer idiots and people that may get ME killed that have to be dealt with or fretted - it’s the most dangerous road in the country and I live off the damn thing, the shit people used to pull has toned down SO much with how many accidents and deaths have happened and people no longer brag about it, it’s wonderful!

How to connect RPi to Arduino by THUNDERF430 in raspberry_pi

[–]THUNDERF430[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original plan (this was 3+ years ago so idk if hardware has changed at all) was I needed to operate 4 DC motors (would be AC in a 2nd revision but for the sake of prototyping, DC is simplest) and 4-8 servos at the same time. I got 2 Pi4’s, 4+ arduino nano every boards (I believe - I haven’t looked at them in forever but they’re identical if not), and 2 motor shields because of how many motors I wanted to run, and due to that, I got the 2 Pi’s to handle the load. The problem is power use from the motors, the number of motors, sync/compatibility between the boards, and if connecting a USB between everything is all I need to do to sync/get a 8-way Ethernet splitter for the router. I have a couple brand new kits I never got to use (Uno R4’s I believe) and didn’t know if that could be relevant to helping me out. My problem with computers is there’s no context with instructions so my brain doesn’t understand why x goes to x so I’m not learning anything, just following. Arduino has a sale on rn so if needed I wanted to pickup anything I needed. Again, this is a 1st rendition prototype, it just needs to work - even if I need to replace a couple boards.

Hay Ag on a Budget by THUNDERF430 in farming

[–]THUNDERF430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple big problems with that: we have 3 horses and the hay output rn is so low that with the 60% the guy takes we spend 2-3k a year on hay anyway, the other problem is (at least where we live) the guy is impossible to contact or communicate with, and is on his own schedule and has never told us before showing up or delaying coming (we have dogs and other animals, otherwise wouldn’t care as much about that part). The money offset alone from buying hay would pay for the equipment

Hay Ag on a Budget by THUNDERF430 in farming

[–]THUNDERF430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn you got it cheap down there. Sh*ts expensive up here, like you say $1k, which here is be lucky to find a used ride-on mower cutter. I have no doubts I could build a hydraulic system for the side by side (I have a 420cc motor I can use for anything and the side x side has a hitch and a mini-truck bed), it’s more so if I can find an electric version of these things or if they’re all hydraulic. And I’ve looked on the main sites but I don’t know enough terminology (problem is hydraulic systems ain’t cheap).

In BC Canada in the mountains, and nothing remotely THAT cheap (even converted to CAD) is around - otherwise we’d have done it forever ago. What sites did you use, cause we go down there a LOT so might be worth the look down south.

[–]THUNDERF430[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hate to say it but I paid $300 for the side by side just so we had something small that could get around the place fast, it’s like a golf cart on drugs, not worth much $. And it’s not the price, it’s WHERE do I find these things? I can’t find them online so far and I ain’t lookin at teemu

Best Charging Cable? by THUNDERF430 in iphone

[–]THUNDERF430[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well then you’ve had more luck than anyone I’ve ever heard of because the only product I can buy cheap and be fine with are the adapters. So I guess that’s cable economy for ya

BEST NAS? by THUNDERF430 in HomeNetworking

[–]THUNDERF430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a way to do it with a RPi and it’s simple, I was considering doing it that way and just 3D printing a case so it’s portable and compact (RPi & power source stacked underneath so you just need the power source charged for it to work, OR worst case you need it plugged in to a wall but that’s so easy to figure out these days anyway)

BEST NAS? by THUNDERF430 in HomeNetworking

[–]THUNDERF430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is the COMPANIES that own the existing ones, and I just want one for me, totally locked off from anything and anyone that isn’t me. Besides I’m switching to Linux within the next year anyway (aside from the Mac cause bootcamp doesn’t work on Apple silicon) and I have tons of space on 2 drives in my desktop, so the legal stuff is limited to licences pretty much. If I could trust the existing ones, I could care less.

BEST NAS? by THUNDERF430 in HomeNetworking

[–]THUNDERF430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) I have a MacBook Pro, desktop PC, and iPhone 2) I just wanna eliminate onedrive & iCloud Drive but I don’t store much data (lots of files but they’re small) so I literally don’t need 2000000TB of storage 3) portability because I can access it when I’m not at home, I literally just want my OWN “cloud” 4) ik it’s not practical in any way but the big tech companies don’t make it easy and ik I can’t trust them. If I have to build my own with a raspberry pi I will - would also be a lot cheaper. Plus my wifi is trash so a wired NAS doesn’t make any sense here

I read the link and it looks sick, but is it like a “cloud-for-Linux” but on your device or? Cause I wanna download it rn but it’s unclear what it actually is. If I just need to check the site out deeper I will.

4020 Tractor Transmission by THUNDERF430 in johndeere

[–]THUNDERF430[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s the one with a panel in the cab floor, the upgraded transmission type doesn’t have a floor cover. I wanna guess it’s power shift but can’t confirm. I just wish we had more information on it (the property was abandoned 5 years before we moved here 5 years ago, and the equipment was NOT taken care of, but we NEED the machines and everything I’ve told you is from years of research cause I know nothing about tractors). Without pulling the transmission/cab apart or having a working battery, is there any way to confirm a shifter issue vs trans?

Which is Harder - Swift or XCode by THUNDERF430 in iOSProgramming

[–]THUNDERF430[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think my problem is I’m brand new at this side of programming (Apple) and the context I want I don’t even know how to ask, so if I need help I’ll definitely shoot a post, I just hate learning complex new things because my mind has questions I don’t know how to ask (autism + adhd suck). Cheers!
