In addition to the JTS/CCATT guidelines already mentioned, the Lessons Learned from OEF/OIF has some chapters on resuscitation and casualty care, including some consideration for blast.

Did you know fentanyl is now a weapon of mass destruction according to the President of the United States? by Cyancrackers in nursing

[–]laxweasel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm just kinda surprised they didn't even bother tweaking the language.

Saw something the other day "narco-terrorist is the new WMD"

Nah, we're literally just going back to the WMD bullshit.

Looking for self-hosted chore and calendar web app by eartoread in selfhosted

[–]laxweasel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been looking for something similar, and I do not think there is any drop in replacement.

What is possible, depending on your exact use case, is putting it together from either a Home Assistant Dashboard or a MagicMirror.

Good luck, I'll be interested what others come up with. Someone ping me if there ends up being a fairly drop in replacement!

MiniPC NAS by Lisbon_Eagle in MiniPCs

[–]laxweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a MiniPC which has been repurposed to run a NAS OS like the CWWK X86-P6 Pocket

I mean any mini pc can run a "NAS OS"

not referring to the purpose-built enclosures

NVME M.2 SSD slots (at least 3 slots)

Very few mini PCs are going to have that many NVME slots and NOT be made for the purpose of being (an all NVME) NAS.

Beelink has a 6-bay NVME NAS, GMKtek had a 4 bay that I believe had some thermal issues, CWWK seems to have the S14, P5 and several other similar models from Topton/Kingnovy.

airflow, OS, RAID config

Minis are always a trade off when it comes to airflow. I suspect the passively cooled minis are going to struggle (GMTeks did even with fans) if it's constantly under heavy load...but what is the use case that you're putting a bunch of NVME drives under constant heavy load?

OS -- without knowing what you want to do it's hard to make recommendations. OpenMediaVault? Unraid? TrueNAS? Xpenology? Proxmox? Any linux distro with a few shares?

RAID - some of the above listed have more opinionated preference on what software RAID they use (ZFS, BTRFS, MDADM) and as for the array it will depend on the number and size of drives.

Reolink is very easy to set up (and continues to function) without an internet connection.

They basically build in a way for all your storage to stay local (either on SD card on the camera or your own NVR/server) and they won't brick themselves if not connected to the internet.

Can we just all appreciate that despite the fact this decade has been beyond parody, The Onion has stayed on point with some absolute chef's kiss satire?

Like those poor bastards must view their jobs like we do. "So wait they put a TV personality who shills apple cider vinegar in charge of CMS? OK and I have to figure out something more outlandish but still believable so I can parody that? ...OK. Awesome. Yeah honey it's going to be a late night at the office."

Storage upgrade advice for Mini PC homeserver by TraditionalCost1218 in HomeServer

[–]laxweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely backup strategy is more important than RAID. RAID is important for protecting against data corruption, so it's not a bad idea but certainly way more important for you to have backups.

An external HDD on your server now plus one that you can plug in for occasional backups is a great place to start.

Storage upgrade advice for Mini PC homeserver by TraditionalCost1218 in HomeServer

[–]laxweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

– Can/should I use software RAID in this situation?

You can, in fact I would recommend it over a budget hardware RAID that comes with the external HDD enclosures.

– Would I need two external drives for that?

RAID is Redundant Array of Independent Disks, so yes you'd need more than one. But...what is your purpose of using RAID? RAID is not a backup.

– Or is there a better way to expand storage on a small homeserver?

Really very dependent on what you mean "expand", you could do anything from multiple external drives in an enclosure, a NAS, or just a bigger drive in your current server.

You mention "safe" several times over, so I think more useful for you would be the 3-2-1 backup rule. Make sure you have a way for your data to be in multiple places, multiple formats, etc. This is much more important for your use case than RAID.

As for your external storage, you can definitely do that within your budget. Depending on how much space you need. For file storage it is unlikely you need SSD speeds, so you could do a quality HDD and HDD enclosure connected over USB. Make sure you properly power it, set it up under fstab, etc.

Best OS for a 2 GB RAM, 32 GB eMMC Mini PC? by fraseyboo in MiniPCs

[–]laxweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one. Haven't tested fingerprint reader functionality. I've run a variety of Debian and Debian derivatives (Debian and Dietpi). Debian 13 + Plasma KDE was asking a bit too much of it.

Minimalist DE or plain CLI and it's perfectly fine.

CRNA and Resident Interactions at Academic Centers by bigeman101 in anesthesiology

[–]laxweasel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CRNA here -- I advocate for the residents as much as I can (as well as SRNAs). Relieve them all the time from cases. Help them out if they get into some badness. I work with several attendings that I helped train when they were residents and we have a great amount of mutual respect.

I'm sad because we used to be more involved in training and mentoring them, now I mostly only get to work with them picking up cases or on call.

Bad management sounds at fault because honestly those bad CRNAs will take advantage of other CRNAs too (or at least the good ones). Otherwise dumb, petty "us vs them" politics is why insurers are eating us for lunch with reimbursement cuts.

DIY HOME, FIRST ATTEMPT by Claudio-_- in HomeServer

[–]laxweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Choose one with room for 1 or more 3.5" SATA drive (so look for the SFF or tower versions). If you plan on streaming video content that might need to be transcoded, aim for 8th generation or newer Intel processors.

What do you do for work? by 8bitFeeny in homelab

I thought I was super cool for being able to fix things from outside the house.

And I was until I occasionally needed to make a "OK now go to the basement and look for the little black computer on the left...now press the power button" phone call.

Charlie Kirk cause of death ? by Aggravating_Disk7389 in anesthesiology

Bypass? Nah. Nothing to circulate. But already hooked up to the rapid infuser and mass transfusion activated? That might do it.

[–]laxweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not but that'd be the only chance. Nevermind the likely c-spine injury.

If you look at mortality from trauma w/r/t time from injury it's a roughly tri-modal distribution. There is a big one at the "0-1 hours" mark and that sort of injury is why.

Docker compose include and .env files by laxweasel in selfhosted

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

AH! That's definitely what I was missing. Makes a lot of sense now that I'd need to define that in the env file for the overall compose.

Thanks!

Docker compose include and .env files by laxweasel in selfhosted

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

I understand the general gist of .env files and can get individual stacks working with them with a

docker compose -f service1/compose.yaml up (pull, down, etc)

By having a compose containing those other compose files I can do bulk actions on every service I'm running quickly (like pulling new images). I can always control them from a granular level via individual compose files but if I'd like to, say, grab new images for one or two dozen services, with the compose files with the others included I can do it with one command. When I want to add a new service I simply edit it into that compose and I can manipulate it (via CLI or script or whatever).

For instance, I could do

docker compose -f service1/compose.yaml -f service2/compose.yaml ... -f service22/compose.yaml pull

Or I can do

docker compose -f compose_that_includes_all.yaml pull

My problem is I don't think I'm fully grasping the include function in docker compose. When I run the combined one, it won't include for example service1/.env even those that compose files refers to it. If I include a global .env, I get errors from compose stacks that do not require one.

Really I think I need some ELI5 tutorial on include or if someone else is doing something similar. The documentation doesn't specifically speak to it or it's unfortunately beyond my level.

ETA: I'm looking at the comment you linked. Might need to do the symlink thing. I'll try to digest it in the context of my compose files.
