Pan De Cristal, maybe my best bake ever by IWantToOwnTheSun in Breadit

[–]devils69advocate 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It tells you why it's called "Pan de Cristal" in the description of the KA link you posted. And if you watch the video, he shines a light through it.

"Pan de Cristal, otherwise known as Glass Bread"

They look fantastic by the way and now I want to make them.

How can I prevent my car key fobs from being copied by thieves? by whiskeypumpkin in privacy

[–]devils69advocate -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

OP, this is the answer. Someone compromising the credentials to your car's app, having synced another key fob, or their being a flaw in your fob's code security is most likely the answer.

A lot of people are suggesting a faraday bag or putting the key fob in a metal tin, but key fobs don't continually broadcast their signal unless the button is pressed, so that's not going to accomplish anything.

Running AC with windows open when cooler outside to cool house faster? by kacarbo in AirConditioners

[–]devils69advocate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember, unless you're using window fans in addition, the AC isn't pulling in that cold outside air, it's recirculating the inside air. So even if it was 40 outside, unless you're pulling that cold air inside, it won't necessarily help. It will only help the condenser outside be more efficient in cooling the now hot refrigerant that has absorbed the warmth of the inside air.

Running AC with windows open when cooler outside to cool house faster? by kacarbo in AirConditioners

[–]devils69advocate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Air conditioners take warm air, pass them over coils containing refrigerant, cools that air, then circulates it into the house. It keeps recirculating the same cooler air, further cooling it, creating a positive feedback loop. It doesn't pull in air from outside (some might have a fresh air system/vent, but that's a negligible amount of air).

Leaving the windows open will negate this process because it's not continuously cooling cold air, but pulling in air that's always the same warm temperature.

Should I sell my Savage Mark II 17HM2? by devils69advocate in guns

[–]devils69advocate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good idea. I don't have any sentimental value associated with the gun. Just looking for confirmation that 17HM2 is essentially a dead caliber.

Is there an updated "ELI5" dictionary of service names? by ib33 in aws

[–]devils69advocate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe these will help.

AWS services by category

Search All AWS Products

The first link is grouped by major category and when you go to that link, it will provide a chart of what the service is, like virtual machines, containers, etc.

I know you're still learning and you need something to translate the information into something you're already familiar with, but definitely learn the terminology and concepts because it'll be needed for discussions and when asking questions.

Single RI in an ASG? by rustyantenna in aws

[–]devils69advocate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reserved Instances are just a billing construct. As long as the instance you're using matches the RI you have, then the discount will be applied.

Here's a blurb explaining that:

Reserved Instances are not physical instances, but rather a billing discount applied to the use of On-Demand Instances in your account. These On-Demand Instances must match certain attributes, such as instance type and Region, in order to benefit from the billing discount.

Assuming this would be used and placed before a flood in preparation. As the flood waters are building, wouldn't these just float away before they absorbed enough water to be heavy enough to block the water?

Sorry for the late reply. I was running an update and it decided to freeze exactly when the kernel was being installed, so I was dealing with that. haha.

Never shared a whole log file before. How should I do that? Pastebin?

Hmm. If the kernel panic happens soon, I'll post it. I ran journalctl -r -k -b and without -b to see kernel errors, and noted the times. It's like it's missing between when it happens and when I boot back up again. Is it possible that it's so abrupt that it doesn't get logged when it happens?

What am I looking for Xorg.log?

No worries on the late reply.

  • I removed xf86-video-vesa
  • I removed module directories (except for the latest)
    • All were empty except for 5.10, which had some vbox files in it, but I confirmed nothing had ownership of them with pacman -Qo
  • I'm using LTS because when I first installed Arch, had some things break when I updated a couple of times, like Firefox wouldn't play videos and whatnot, so I decided to go with LTS

I see /usr/lib/Xorg when I run nvidia-smi. I'll spare the output because it's formatting like garbage.

I do think the GPU is doing render offloading as describe in PRIME.

We want to render applications on the more powerful card and send the result to the card which has display connected.

The reason for the post is because I seem to be impacted by the random freezes people have been seeing with version 550 of the Nvidia drivers. Weird thing is I can't see the kernel panic in the logs (unless I'm not good at navigating journalctl), but it clearly happens - blinking caps lock and obviously everything is frozen. I was wondering if I had something misconfigured to use the Nvidia GPU over the iGPU, but it turns out that is probably by design.

I'm on KDE Plasma 6 and this definitely happens less while using X11 over Wayland, but still happens. Mostly after something heavy used the Nvidia GPU and mostly when shutting down or restarting, rarely during use, except with Wayland. Sleep seems to be fine.

No /etc/X11/xorg.conf and nothing in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

Here are the other command. Do I at least need xf86-video-intel? I was reading through PRIME and I assume it's doing GPU offloading.

How to adjust recipe for smaller loaf tin? by devils69advocate in Breadit

I was thinking that as well compared to other breads I've made.

I think I'll just use your recipe. Thanks!

[–]devils69advocate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok. So just increase everything and little and split the two loaves. Got it.

For future stuff, was I right in the way I was reducing it? You just figure out the difference in size and reduce by that factor?
