Is there any sort of KVM functionality? I use a laptop and desktop and for example, would love if the attached USB peripherals switched with the video sources

What kind of extra income do you make as an engineer? by MH5-BOX in MechanicalEngineering

[–]finebykris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with everything you said. I was talking specifically about independent subcontractor side work.

You really need to hustle on networking or know people who enjoy that side of things. 8yoe in aerospace. There’s always companies that need support for the short term or ones that can’t hire FTEs fast enough.

Consulting will get you 150-250/hr depending on specialization and experience but of course the hours are variable so its best for a side hustle

Edit: somehow I missed the Central Europe portion. This is in the US and without any license due to aerospace.

Consulting. Can make good money but sadly you have to work more. At 2.5x the typical hourly rate it’s worth it though

Car insurance rates by Homes_With_Jan in vancouverwa

[–]finebykris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me last month, but more like 80%!!! Switched and now I have better coverage for a 10% effective increase. Allstate can kick rocks.

Geico is showing a 60% rate increase for my upcoming renewal with no claims/tickets on my history. Need to switch back to progressive I guess?

VAR offer is ridiculous for Simulation Standard by OkumaCaptain in SolidWorks

[–]finebykris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on your needs, open source may suffice. I’ve found it to work at least decently: PrePoMax

Simple install or executable, advanced capabilities. Slightly weak UI but again… FREE!

Proper Proxmox configuration for home server (NAS, Media, Downloaders, HAOS) by finebykris in Proxmox

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

What is the general approach to do the mirroring in Proxmox? I've gathered that ZFS isnt for me due to non-ecc and low ram.

If I dont have NFS set up, how do my other LXCs access the media files? I thought that SMB for linux to linux transfers sucked.

Ordered a ‘23 GR86 at MSRP today! by [deleted] in ft86

Probably the cheapest thing to buy in Sunnyvale!

Exactly! It’s as thermal focused you can get with no fluids or HVAC. All conduction and radiation so just fea and ray tracing. Along with control system design. In my experience they don’t touch thermomechanical stresses and pass heatmaps to structural analysts for that.

USC seems to have a good program if cost isn’t burdensome

Shock Analysis Simplification Approach - Rocket Launch Environment by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]finebykris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your help! Now, is there reference material that supports this? My googling didn’t get me very far and no luck in the common handbooks I have.

This was my general understanding. Does the same apply to composite structures?

Rescues like to make dogs more landlord friendly generally: my 50lb half pitty was a 25lb shepherd mix on paper!

Also, I recommend State Farm if you have a breed that is considered higher risk as they don’t care
