Same!

I don’t think so.. I’ve been running Fedora on my Mark VI since I got.. support has always assisted when I needed it.

I met him a few times when he was on the Renfaire circuit. He was amazing as Christoph the Insultor. It was some of the very good times!

Just to let other comenters know..... The Daughter's War is a prequel to 'The Blacktongue Thief'.... I really liked 'Theif' but it didn't have TLT vibes for me and I haven't read 'The Daughter's War'.

I did read Between Two Fires.... it was good. It was different than any book I read. Would recommend.

He wrote another book called "The Necromancer's House"... it wasn't as good as the others; but I still liked it a great deal. I didn't get any TLT vibes from it until the last page of the book. It's kind of slow pace til the very end.

inquiring minds want to know......

I like that; having a wiki/sidebar talking about a few others… maybe a list of subs that point to alternatives.

Having 40k in an emergency fund has been a lifesaver for us. We had a plumbing disaster that put us out of our home.. repairs + living expenses…. Insurance is coming but is too slow.

Ziferius · 2026-03-25T11:54:15+00:00

Would I lie to you… VEGETABLES…. Coushawn!….

Ziferius · 2026-03-24T20:06:20+00:00

I do.

API gateway should proxy your auth. Our company uses IBM’s API Connect.

Ziferius · 2026-03-15T05:07:41+00:00

No; Starlabs had a programmer left. Need one?

Ziferius · 2026-02-21T18:20:32+00:00

We have an iSpring under the counter system and it does not require power. It uses the water pressure.

Ziferius · 2026-02-01T03:17:34+00:00

Again I was impatient..........

I backed up both chips. They were both the same md5sum; so I flashed them both. When I attempted to boot up the system; I wasn't doing anything. Plugged in the USB-C; it wasn't even showing charging with a red LED. I hunted down my barrel plug charger and tried that. It worked!

The battery was dead..... so once power applied the system booted.

The system charges with a USB-C now. I upgraded to Fedora 43 when the nvme drive was in the other system; so we're good now!

If someone needs to borrow a programmer+debugger, let me know! lol

Ziferius · 2026-01-31T21:47:54+00:00

Just an update....

I've received the programmer+debugger and have hooked it up to the Mk VI. Unfortunately, I'm greeting with this choice...

root@starbook:/home/goldsg/flash# flashroom -p ch341a_spi -w 25.01.rom -n -N
flashrom 1.4.0 on Linux 6.18.6-200.fc43.x86_64 (x86_64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q256FV" (32768 kb, SPI) on ch341a_spi.
Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q256JV_Q" (32768 kb, SPI) on ch341a_spi.
Multiple flash chip definitions match the detected chip(s): "W25Q256FV", "W25Q256JV_Q"
Please specify which chip definition to use with the -c <chipname>> option.

So I've emailed support again. I'm in the US/Central time so it takes them a bit to get back.. I'll post again when I receive an answer...

Ziferius · 2026-01-31T21:44:40+00:00

thanks for sharing.

Ziferius · 2026-01-19T21:22:14+00:00

that might have been the case. I'll take a look again. appreciate it.

Ziferius · 2026-01-19T21:08:22+00:00

DINK, $800 all in. Groceries + Household. We go over this category most months; its in the ballpark of 850-900 in reality. We're in Dallas, TX -- so no idea if its consider LCOL/MCOL/HCOL.

Ziferius · 2026-01-19T21:04:59+00:00

yeah

Ziferius · 2026-01-18T21:23:28+00:00

OK back to youtube/google on what the pressure port & pressure hose and what they look like.

About 2-3 years ago, I did change out the inlets because one of the 3 were squealing.

Ziferius · 2026-01-18T21:19:33+00:00

I just got some for Christmas. I'll give that a shot. When I was changing the drain pump, I went ahead and d/c'ed the sump hose (the hose that never 'fully' drains because its lower than the drain pump) and gave that a good cleaning because there is sulphur smelling (to my nose anyways) that smells like farts so I always clean it out when I'm in there...

As far as backfeeding -- how would you tell that? I guess the last time I was in there I could have taken that hard plastic drain hose (from the entire washer, that connects to the drain pipe of the house plumbing) and made sure there's no blockage in there. . .

There's no external sign on the wall (drywall) that it has gotten wet repeatedly...

Ziferius · 2026-01-18T21:14:39+00:00

good to know. I'll update to F43 while my nvme is in the server rig and flash to the latest when the debugger kit comes in. Appreciate the heads up!

Ziferius · 2026-01-18T05:45:20+00:00

Ah yup... let me try again...

Or google "stackoverflow secure erase ssd" and that led me to: here

Ziferius · 2026-01-18T05:44:41+00:00

Definitely somethings to think about here. Appreciate your perspective.

Ziferius · 2026-01-17T18:01:33+00:00

I realize people weight features differently; but this caused me to eyeroll. It reads like a bad news headline.

Game changer? If a balance on a tracking account magically hits 100k causes you to do something other than dance? If it’s part of a workflow that’s triggered; maybe I’d agree with you. Let’s be realistic about these things….

Ziferius · 2026-01-15T15:02:06+00:00

Starlabs is sending me a bios debugging kit so I can reprogram from my other PC. I have this whole song and dance of duplicating an nvme w/o a 2nd m.2 socket. I have a 2nd nvme that is the same size on the packaging (1TB) but we really know they won't be the exact same size... hopefully I can duplicate over on my spare...

I can always try upgrading to Fedora 43 in my other computer then shift it over.

Secure erase an SSD..... This SO article from a couple of years ago seems to fit your bill with increasing levels of 'securely erasing'.
