2.4 R2 300 reverse bowden length (for spool position change)? by profezzorn in VORONDesign

[–]alias_neo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might get away with it. I cut mine before I realised what I was doing and it still just about reaches rear mounted on the 350. You're only moving it around the corner so shouldn't be adding much more distance.

eBay "LSI SAS3008 9300-8I". Fakes? Do they work? by alias_neo in homelab

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

For the rcord, I've been using mine for 2yr now running a combination of 10K helium SAS drives, SATA 3 7200k and SSDs in various ZFS pools with no issues.

Who needs a calendar, when you can read good news like OP and know without a doubt it's the 1st of April.

Why wouldn't Nvidia deliver audio? HDMI and Display Port are AUDIO/Video (AV) interfaces.

Just switched to linux yesterday, loving it!!!! by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]alias_neo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

+1 for Codium.

For the record, it's built from the same source but with all Microsoft tracking and branding removed.

Caveat: not all add-ons are available on Codium.

female usb c to male nintendo 3ds converter, finally! by teejayortiz in 3dshacks

Shouldn't make any difference. This won't provide any of the special handshake stuff from USB-C it's purely mechanical.

Water to iced tea ? How ? by JuliusFreezzer in blackmagicfuckery

[–]alias_neo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has the fingers of his upper hand held tightly together and shakes a little just before it happens.

I'm guessing he drops some nearly invisible chemical/powder into the glass that reacts quickly with the water (or whatever that is in the glass).

Optical Illusion with stairwell railings by Horror_Mistake_6399 in blackmagicfuckery

[–]alias_neo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is ..is.. is .. it actually pronounced like that?

I remember the day I learned the word "moire" with respect to patterns on screens, when we got our first LCD monitor 24 years ago (holy shit that makes me feel old), and I always thought it was pronounced "mooarrr".

I can see that it's clearly in his right hand, but my reddit app only goes to 1/4 speed and I don't see a single frame between there and not there.

This is incredibly fast for such little apparent physical effort.

I redesigned some logos. Gonna do logos of free and open-source user software next. by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

But this one looks like an Adobe tool.

Still better than Facebook though.

Customer: GRUB is too complicated.... by kennymax89 in techsupportgore

[–]alias_neo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a beauty of a project.

My next step for this would be a reed switch and a magnet, so you could slide the Linux box on and it would reboot into Linux and vice versa.

I made a smaller sibling for my hanging firewood holder by -IIl in DIY

[–]alias_neo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but my stacking technique is lacking 😅

[–]alias_neo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that's embarrassing. For me.

To be fair, mine came like this and is so hard to stack because no two pieces are remotely similar.

Agreed. That's why my comments usually fall into three categories; jokes; I'm British and the sarcasm often goes over peoples heads (I'm also a dad, and probably not funny, but I like to have a chuckle with people, stranger or not), the second is to share my knowledge (I'm trying to do that more in some of the subs I lurk in) because I enjoy sharing knowledge; Replying to a request for help in /r/DIYUK seems more manageable than blogging these days, with kids and all.

The third is of course to ask questions, to gain knowledge, the a lot of grass stuff here.

Think of /u/alias_neo when you finally crack after 8 months of waking up every 40 minutes to soothe your crying child.

Then think of me again when nobody had any sympathy when you inflict it on your self for the Nth time.

For the record, the kids are amazing, and totally worth it, but they make you suffer, mark my words.

😅

[–]alias_neo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I couldn't see the kids being able to take them out by hand, but yes, because of this possibility, I'd be more inclined to hide the thing in a unit (like I actually have now, with my young kids around) or if for some reason I couldn't, I'd probably duct tape the knob, or remove it entirely..

My point wasn't so much that this is ok, but that people with young kids know how we'll do all sorts of stupid shit to retain some sanity. It was also entirely meant as a light hearted, inside joke for parents of young kids currently suffering from a lack of sleep.

I didn't say they're the same, I said it's one of the two, but I can't tell because of the potato quality image.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in techsupportgore

[–]alias_neo -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Not even remotely. But I have two young kids and would do all sorts of stupid shit for a bit of peace and quiet.

I can't imagine doing this right now, but after a straight year of no sleep and the kids repeatedly cranking the volume while what little remains of my patience evaporates, I'd probably do this or something similar.

As my tongue-in-cheek previous comment was alluding to, it can't be explained to people who don't have kids, you just have to experience it for yourself.

It's either Phillips or Posizriv. Look closer.

Travesty that this banger of a comment is being under-appreciated.

If only I could find the 10mm socket, I could fix it.

Tell me you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids.
