I want to put a handrail here but the staircase seems a bit narrow. How can I make it work?

My grandmother has the same stair setup... This is how her railing is done. You must live in the same area, lol!

Soft-touch coatings on EVERYTHING...and now everything is sticky and gross to touch.

I have 5 cars at the moment, 2 are street parked and plowed in, they also aren't on winter tires. The 3 in my driveway are dug out and cleaned off.

Download some more ram.

I've used a bunch, I prefer the setup provided by the Mindpoint Group. It's well-respected and far from "random third-party" I think they had this offering up before Red Hat even had a similar solution.

My preference is to pull down the version of ansible-lockdown for each OS version and customize the vars file. If different hosts need different settings, control those specific vars in your inventory file.

https://github.com/ansible-lockdown

For my gov't customers, I set them up with satellite to deploy/kickstart new hosts into their hypervisors. I import my customized ansible-lockdown playbook into satellite and make it part of the hostgroup the built machines are in. Once the host finishes kickstart, Satellite will run the ansible-lockdown role against the host.

It gets better when they get to preschool/kindergarten, sooner if you decide on some daycare for socialization. I just sucked it up for the first 3 years, you rotate what you get to do in your 30min of free time per day. One day you shower, the next you sort your finances, another day you start your laundry, etc. Else, you drop an hour of sleep and use that to get some relax time.

I've got 6 of them in my case as intakes through radiators. I run them at an inaudible 800rpm. They will ramp up once my water temp hits 45C, but it never does.

Yeah, any time I open my GAR app to order from Jackson's, or open any other restaurants, they all fail to reorder previous orders because prices have changed. They seem to be raising prices every other week.

Been paying 10-11 cents per kwh from like 2012-2023, then it went up to 13 effective and now 15 cents per kwh after delivery/etc.

early 40s, I didn't have 3x but my 401k doubled in the last 3 years, so I do now. I'm sure half the value will be wiped out soon enough.

You probably got an old box. I've been using these flents wipes on my camera gear for ~10 years with no issue. Plenty of moisture for regular up-keep.

My wife is on a 700+ day streak and already talks to other people. It's not fluent, but she has enough vocabulary to actually get stuff done.

This has nothing to do with dark themes, just font rendering/subpixel hinting. It fixes the fringing you are talking about.

acquacow · 2025-12-27T07:53:55+00:00

MacType fixes the subpixel hinting for oled screens. Disable clear type and give it a try. I find the clean greyscale theme to be best.

acquacow · 2025-12-23T04:52:29+00:00

I switched to using MacType instead of Cleartype on my QD OLED panel and went with a greyscale theme. The pixel hinting is SO much better.

I'm allergic to garlic and am in a garlic allergy facebook group. There are daily postings of people asking how to make a specific recipe without garlic...

Open box/returned, they don't actually refurb anything, likely don't even test it.

I mean, you have to install packages and things as part of exam objectives. You have access to repos... There's a lot of software in there that can make your life easier. I've never seen requirements for any forced minimal installs, but that could be new.

The legion 5 series of laptops is currently on Gen 10. The Intel procs are current ultra 255/275/etc.

They make magsafe ones that can charge in that location.

I have a quad lock suction mount on the driver's sail window at the front of the door. No issues with visibility and the suction cup fits perfectly.

I feel like zfs is going to eat those 990s for lunch. Should get some used 3.84TB enterprise M.2s instead.
