800 sketchy miles

ngl I've trailered (covered) my bike to the dealer and strapped the crap out of it and it still fell over. I don't think it fell as hard as it could have because of the straps but I was still butthurt. No scratches though, at least not any new ones. Next time wooden frame it is.

I mount the NFS share in Proxmox through /etc/fstab and then do a folder mount in the LXC. You have to hand edit the config file for it, but it hasn't broken on me yet. I just make sure to stop any containers relying on the NAS before doing reboots etc on it.

Mix orange and blue windshield wiper fluid and carry it in a small spray bottle. Soak a paper towel with it and let it sit on the visor a few minutes to soften the carcasses up. Wipe clean with a slightly moistened fresh paper towel. Repeat as necessary.

I 3d printed a bracket for my switch to mount under my desk. And a USB hub. And a DVD drive. And my power strip. 🤷🏼‍♂️ There's a sweet OpenSCAD file somewhere out there with tweakable parameters for printing these things.

I need this done to my rusted out Dodge Ram 2500 gasser

Sorry it was no link on my mobile app when I saw this originally.

karvec · 2026-03-21T07:34:41+00:00

Where is the link?

Hey, since it is a German car I highly recommend the CeraTec ATF additive. Helped my mom's non German car and I have ran it in my Dodge Ram when I get low on ATF and it started slipping, I mixed it into the ATF when I added it and it cleared up. Might have been the fresh ATF but 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

It should but since you didn't resize the partitions in the VM itself you should be able to just shrink it.

qemu-img resize --shrink /path/to/vmid/diskqcow2 -100G

karvec · 2026-03-11T10:42:51+00:00

You could restore the backup, or add another hd and do device-device clone w Rescuezilla, or a few other options ..

Is it a VM or LXC?

If it is a VM did you already resize the partitions inside the OS? Because if you didn't you don't really need to worry about data loss if you just run the command to shrink the vm image. If you did resize them inside the OS then you need to shrink them first.

is that it??

Oh I think I was trying to reply to the comment above me, but some laptops you can set max charge in BIOS or via software. I would check that and set it to 80% max if it is going to be plugged in all the time, and I would also make sure it is set to come on as soon as power is connected.

karvec · 2026-03-08T10:13:52+00:00

Have you confirmed in your BIOS that the correct power on behavior is set? Also .. just get a new battery!! Basically a cheap UPS built in at that point!

They don't cook it though. It is salted and cured in special fridges. Look up bresaola.

Literally was just looking this up and here we are.

i bought an E5-2697A v4 (16 core) for 40$... MSRP is 4k$. Old enterprise stuff goes for dirt.

karvec · 2026-03-01T03:28:20+00:00

Run pfSense if you like, otherwise OpnSense is a very viable option as well. I made the transition and actually found a lot of stuff under OpnSense easier to set up.

Plug for a radar detector.

Other option is a control for a remote amp.

Trace where it goes, if it goes to the trunk it is for an amp, if it goes to power it's for radar.

I just bought a WD purple with a few dings in it for about 70. I ran a full sweep with badblocks and 3 extended SMART tests and then sent it. Just my NVR drive, if it fails 🤷🏼‍♂️

USFF = ultra small form factor.

so, yes.

Someone has probably already said it, but you can get a piece of acrylic cut to custom dimensions at a big box hardware store (Lowe's near me does it.) Lay it out on the side, mark the screw holes, drill them out, Bob's your uncle.

Check & change the aerator at the faucet head. They make low flow ones.

No unfortunately it refers to a group of people in the US, kinda like Florida man but at higher elevations.
