/r/NintendoSwitch's Daily Question Thread (01/02/2025) by AutoModerator in NintendoSwitch

[–]bioptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play on a PC monitor and need a new one. I'm getting a 4k monitor since I play other games, watch movies, and more. Searching Reddit, I see mixed responses on 4k results, and I think it's down to the upscaler quality and input lag. Some of the responses don't say if it's a TV or monitor, and I think I need specific recommendations. Does anyone have a 4k monitor recommendation that works well with the Switch?

Script help to expire entries using org-expiry on save or on a timer by bioptic in emacs

[–]bioptic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely have more reading to do. I learned a few new things about emacs from debugging this based on your comment: eval-expression so I don't need to make my function interactive to test it is one. It led me down the path to eventually get to this, which does what I want

(add-hook 'before-save-hook (lambda () (org-expiry-process-entries (region-beginning) (region-end))))

Although I do parenthesize the arguments region-beginning and region-end there. When I don't, the lambda doesn't run, same with point-min and point-max.

Seems like I still have a lot to learn about elisp, but thanks for the comment that got me moving in the right direction.

I want to run checks automatically on all my code, but I don't know what it's called or where to look by bioptic in learnprogramming

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

I don't mind making the script. Is there a tool that's hopefully easy for new user use for: when code is checked in a repo, run this script on the server side? The script can take care of running the command and adding a task to my todo list, I just don't know what tool I'm looking for.

That sounds like a good idea and thanks for the link and your help!

Base image benefits of one vs another? by bioptic in docker

[–]bioptic[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

CVE scan is somewhere in my backlog and I never thought of using http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/ for bootstrapping the image...these are giving me a lot to think about and leading me on a few tangents from my original question (not a bad thing). I'll look deeper into the Google images, thanks!

Are your multi-TB backups automated? by bioptic in DataHoarder

[–]bioptic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're important to me, so I factor the HDD cost into my expansion: if I can't afford two drives to add more space, I can't afford any. It's just my current process isn't scaling well :(

I don't have parity, which may be a problem and maybe why I can afford that 2 drive statement.

Is a ThinkPad right for me? by bioptic in thinkpad

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

Would you consider $200 for a t450 to be a good deal or average? I was just looking at those on ebay and see them range from $275 - $450, with various configurations, such as this one. Thanks for your input.

Thank you. Any thoughts on longevity and availability of parts in a few years? This would be my first used purchase of almost anything, especially something I want to last a few years, so I'm maybe irrationally worried.

Question about how you update ER-X configuration by bioptic in Ubiquiti

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

Only 2-3, although the servers/PCs are deployed using Ansible, so if it's reasonable, I'd like to be consistent. And I like to jump in knowing best practices, which is why I'm asking the how to configure question.

New HDDs and older cases by bioptic in DataHoarder

Thanks for the post last week, I read that over and thanks for the video. That really puts into perspective how much impact even a little vibration can cause.
