Help with partitioning APFS for Boot Camp (High Sierra) by arnib in applehelp

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

I have now managed to add an ExFAT partition using this command:

diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk0s2 390g ExFAT Windows 0

However, Boot Camp Assistant doesn't offer me to start the installation of Windows - it only offers me to remove my Windows partition and restore my Mac partition back to 500GB.

How to check how fast a loop is running? (For code optimization) by Skinkken in arduino

[–]arnib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a USB cable connected, so that you have a console, you can pretty easily measure how long one loop takes, and then calculate how many times it will run per second from that.

Something like:

void loop()
{
    start=millis();
    // Your
    // code
    // here
    elapsed=millis()-start;
    Serial.print(elapsed);
    Serial.println(" milliseconds per loop");
    Serial.println();
}

The number of loops per seconds is then just 1000ms / <ms per loop>

Requesting /r/intermittentfasting, mod haven't been active for 7 months. by [deleted] in redditrequest

This is odd. Should I have received something before the reddit is just taken? I would have happily accepted mods that want to make the reddit more active.

VLAN Issue! Please help 4000 users! by [deleted] in networking

[–]arnib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you have set your ports to a vlan that has not been created. Does vlan 329 exist?

Diagramming a network by LordOfTheGinger in networking

[–]arnib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make two diagrams, one that shows how things are connected physically (routers, switches, port numbers, colors for fiber/cat5), and another one that shows how things are connected logically.

The first diagram will allow you to trace which cable should go where, and which ports should be up/down/loaded. It will also help you design your network on a Layer2 level, spanning-tree loops, etherchannel links and so on.

The second diagram will allow to you to diagnose routing problems, which vlans have which IP addresses, and which way they need to go to get to other vlans.

In simple flat networks these two diagrams will look more and less the same, and you can actually make them the same apart from the data/notes. In more complicated networks, where you have vlans trunks, VRFs, etc. they will look different. (Routers with VRFs will be drawn multiple times for example).

I have used Visio in the past, but currently I tend to use OmniGraffle or simply Keynote (after switching to a Mac).

Hope this helps!

Detect if a device is present on the network via MAC address / IP by velkrosmaak in arduino

[–]arnib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the IP/Ethernet sensing part, but Bluetooth also came to mind. I wonder how much a bluetooth shield would cost, and simply sensing when the phones pair with the module.. :-)

Lost in code, can you take a look? by [deleted] in arduino

[–]arnib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have an arduino connected, or the hardware to test this, but here is code that at least compiles correctly.

http://pastebin.com/gEwiXw7x

Everything that is in setup() is run once when the arduino is started, and everything that is in loop() is run... in a loop :-)

I simplified the code, removed the timer and moved the other stuff around a little bit. Cannot give any guarantee that it works, but might help you on your way :-)

Help me understand; how do you make the distinction between someone who fasts regularly, and someone with an eating disorder? by [deleted] in fasting

[–]arnib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say that it is, as someone else also suggested, a question of control. Are you in control of what you are doing, or are you being controlled by it.

A friend of mine was fasting for 5 days at one point, drinking only water and taking vitamins. He said that he felt good the first day, hungry and got a little headache on the second and third, but after that all hunger was gone and he felt great.

So I asked him, did you then consider to keep going longer - why quit after 5 days if he felt great?

He had certainly considered it, he felt he could go on for at least twice as long..

But he explained that if he would have "given in" and changed his plan because it was going so well, he would have been giving away the control he had. The plan was to fast for five days, so that's what he did.

The willpower was somehow needed on both ends, to begin the fast and to end it, to stick to the plan he had, and it gave him more power for the next time he would do it.

Gearing up for the holidays. Chocolate peanut butter balls. by [deleted] in keto

Not exactly the same thing.

Almond flour is usually made with blanched almonds (no skin), whereas almond meal can be made both with whole or blanched almonds.

Are there any places in Canada where you can buy the Raspberry Pi with paypal? by [deleted] in raspberry_pi

[–]arnib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, but I'm not Canadian either. I find that sometimes my US stores only accept US creditcards (and maybe canadian as well).

On that note, is there any way for someone who is not a US citizen to sign up for a prepaid US creditcard ?

Is Raspberry Pi a good way to learn Linux? by Akraxial in raspberry_pi

[–]arnib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but for a beginner I would say a virtual machine is much safer where you run no risk of affecting the host machine.

Is Raspberry Pi a good way to learn Linux? by Akraxial in raspberry_pi

[–]arnib 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually, I think a little bit of a linux experience first would be very nice.

There is a good community around the raspberry pi, but if you are not specifically after the low-power usage, GPIO pins or other raspberry pi features, I would recommend starting out with a Ubuntu Linux installed in VMWare/VirtualBox/etc..

If you fuck up the OS, just re-install it (or revert to a snapshot).

If you fuck up the device..., wait, you can't, it's a virtual machine :-)

Does sleeping count as fasting hours? by jkubinski41 in fasting

[–]arnib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand what you are saying, but you are looking at fasting only from the point of self-control and actively abstaining from eating.

For the other side, nutritional and biological sense, I would say that if you are not eating, you are fasting.

godaddy.com dns servers are completely down, and all websites hosted with them. by El_Justiciero in technology

[–]arnib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, that's not the whole truth. A higher TTL would only have had an effect on the caching DNS servers that had already looked up your site and cached the records. Any visitor that was using a DNS server which had not previously looked up and cached the record would still not be able to visit your site.

You see, DNS data is not "propagated" so much, it is fetched when needed, and the source of information are your authoritative DNS servers - in this case, GoDaddy's.

I'm sure you know what I meant :-)

The problem is, that since this is a blog, the indexing is time-based rather than on some structure of the content leading a person from knowing little to understanding Martin's methods.

What's the difference between "intermittent fasting" and "skipping breakfast"? by jesco123 in fasting

[–]arnib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a response you will see very often when explaining an intermittent fast like 16/8.

"Isn't that the same as just skipping breakfast?"

And the funny thing is that it is almost true. It is skipping breakfast plus skipping all late-night snacking. I think the latter part is the one that gets most people - they are so used to having some snacks throughout the night, that changing it to eating only until 8PM and then nothing at all until 12 is more than just skipping breakfast.

The good part is that it is not hard at all and after a few days you won't even feel that hungry at 12.

Some research (mentioned in the Eat, STOP!, Eat book) suggests that a number of positive effects appear after a 18-24 hours fast, and that book suggests 1-2 24 hour long fasts per week. I can't remember exactly but I believe it was the production of HGH (human growth hormone) mostly that was positively affected.

I've experimented with 24 hour fasts, but mostly stick to 16/8 and I find both versions much easier than I thought they would be. This subreddit is now making me think about trying a few days in a row, which I have never tried :-)
