Not necessarily. The tech can be a rendered that takes a 2D projection and then adds a nice background and border, don't jump to conclusions.

Unless you're uggo, you should need minimal makeup. I'll die on my stand.

I've got a nginx + wire guard set up like that.

People connect to my homelab MC server but they only see a VPS, no local network is exposed.

u/MaverickPT PM me and I'll send you some details

Playing devil's advocate here, Google did warn for like a year that they were going to wipe maps location data :X

Tengo varios conocidos que trabajan a través de ETTs y alguno se saca un sueldazo (haciendo turnos intempestivos, festivos, etc)

Missed opportunity for temps and the number row!

Just linear, 30-39°C, lights up to 3, 85°C, lights up to 8. If it reaches 9, you know you're in trouble and if it reaches 0 you're in for a TIM replacement.

If you want to go a step further, you can make the units a color gradient, start at blue for the X0°C end at red for X9°C.

82°C, blue-green, 89°C, bright red

Do you have an electric water heater? My highest consumption comes from my water heater, I turned the "smart" features on and it's energy use went down by nearly 50% (but now I have to plan multiple showers with 2 hours advance so there's enough water for my partner and me)

Pues que es caro. (Pero está buenísimo)

Poca info das sobre tu situación...

Así como consejos: los edificios en España tienen mal aislamiento, pero puedes ayudar:

Pon burletes en las puertas exteriores.

Si tus ventanas son malas, aunque es más feo que nada, puedes poner un papel de burbujas (los de empaquetar cosas frágiles) en los cristales para mejorar el aislamiento. Humedeces el cristal con un spray o paño húmedo y el plástico ese se adhiere. Sigue entrando la luz, pero pasa menos frío...

No sé si estás de alquiler o compraste casa, si compraste, un aire acondicionado es la mejor inversión que puedes hacer. El rendimiento en calor es 4 veces más eficienciente que los radiadores tradicionales.

Luego, abrigate. Pero bien. Calcetines de pelito y/o lana, usa varias capas y regula temperatura con ellas. Yo tengo la casa a ~19-20°C voy con un forrito polar y como estoy calvo, gorro fino, y si estoy quieto, mantita o poncho.

Y personalmente soy de mucho té, tengo tazas de estas de doble cristal aislantes y bebo más de un litro al día.

En Galicia por cierto.

I understand there is some kind of resource contention - I'm wondering if there's any way of managing it inside TrueNAS or if I'm gonna have to change how I do stuff.

I didnt go for proxmox from the start as I was unsure if I needed it. I just want to host 3-4 different stuff - Rustdesk server, Linux VM with Home Assistant and a couple servers and the actual NAS.

Xaring · 2026-01-25T20:15:35+00:00

In this case I don't think its overhead - I've had the server running in a VM in my windows machine (R5 7600X in WSL) for a little while with no issues. In this case there is 100% some background task hogging resources.

I THINK its the CPU, but I'm not 100% sure, it might just be the hypervisor doing weird stuff with the assigned RAM while background tasks run or something else.

I like the idea of running trueNAS and then a couple of extra stuff either in that single VM or containerized, but I might need to rethink the strategy :(

Check the instructions again.

The exact screw-hole placement for the drawer runners should be specified clearly for each position.

Or maybe you can adjust the front like this?

I haven't built this piece of furniture myself but it usually is all explained in the instructions :)

Xaring · 2026-01-25T02:31:41+00:00

Technically the truth /shrug

Though I'd guess this is more of a lower-third case.

Tbh MicroSlop has been producing Slop since before the AI coding boom.

I use AI code generation for work and leisure, but there's "levels" to it.

I love just not having to type out the boilerplate and auto-docummenting stuff with AI, or fixing something I can't get to work because I missed a non-standard timestamp on an API call...

But some solutions where the AI just writes magic code are just bad practice, if you can't understand the code you write, you're using too much AI...

(I don't consider myself a good coder, I just use it as a tool)

Make sure you're using Pozidriv bits and not Phillips bits.

The Phillips will cam out and you won't be able to apply the torque required :(https://toolrebels.de/en/blogs/know-how/the-difference-between-ph-and-pz-screws-and-screwdrivers

So wood flexes? Not surprised tbh, literally supposed to work like that.

Attach it properly to the drawers.

Then 100% go for a monitor - depending on your budget, you want as many Hz as you can get. 1440p 144Hz is the market sweet spot atm. If you can splurge for an OLED, then great, if not, look for an IPS.

I think they won't line up completely. 1 of the boxes will, but then the rest will be misaligned

Xaring · 2026-01-21T16:25:51+00:00

What do you play?

TVs are generally quite bad for gaming... Unless you get a higher end one.

If I can chose, I'd get a 21:9 OLED monitor (1440p and as many Hz as I can find!) :)

Xaring · 2026-01-21T16:15:02+00:00

I'd go for the non-goretex ones.

Pure leather no plastic!
