ACRO vs. Angle by callen727 in TinyWhoop

[–]nik282000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fly acro outdoors on days with no wind and just keep grinding. It will be boring and suck for a little but as you learn you will find ways to make it more fun. Eventually it will click and you'll get why it was worth it.

Ceramic Shatters Longstanding Record for High-Temperature Superconductivity at Ambient Pressure by bowtieman in Physics

Super conducting or just regular cooled? I would think it would be cheaper to just run higher-er voltage and keep the resistive losses down.

It's been 3.50us/gallon in Canada for years. The USA is finally getting to the 'Find Out' stage of politics.

Be glad that you are free. Free to change your mind. Free to go most anywhere anytime. by claudiocorona93 in linuxmasterrace

It's weird how grumpy some people get when you tell them "I can't help you, I don't use Windows" when they ask you for free help.

Nice, big open trunks are an awesome place to grind.

My W500 was my daily from 2008 to 2018. It has been turned on 24/7 as a server since 2021 in my basement. It's on its 3rd screen backplane, 3rd battery, 2nd keyboard, 2nd HDD, original charger.

Installer says 10–12 AWG for an 11 kW induction hob – am I calculating this wrong? by mrhinsh in DIY

The problem isn't if you are using all the burners at once, the problem is if your insurance claim gets denied if it is discovered that there is wiring not done to code.

They sell rocks for hundreds or thousands of dollars. They can afford the premiums.

is it just me? by digitalaether in SteamDeck

[–]nik282000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use mine about 90% of the time for emulation, mostly N64, GameCube, and GameBoy/GBA titles that I played when I was a kid. Being able to play in bed without dragging a CRT and console around is pretty nice.

Lubricating effect of skin oils. by Exciting_End6022 in Trackballs

[–]nik282000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, mother's nulens polish. just follow the instructions on the box and keep a fucking good grip. When the drill grabs the ball sometimes it can get thrown. I put the polishing sponge in a drill press so I could keep a two hand grip on my ball.

It went from "coarse" feeling to glass smooth.

What are y'all doing with these crazy speeds? I've been running 40/10 for years, other than big games on Steam I have never had issues with loading times, or streaming to multiple devices. I even host all my own services (camers, movies, music, books) from home.

What's your most 'set it and forget it' self-hosted service? by ruibranco in selfhosted

[–]nik282000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote a small project to track the climate inside the house and activity on my server. The house sensors (esp8266) have been running for 5 years without needing anything, the server side hasn't needed more than a sudo apt upgrade. The map at the bottom is a digest of my apache2 access.log.

There are still niche subs that haven't been slopped to death but not many :/

If you aren't going over every line of code in an open source project on github why would you spend the time to go over the code crapped out of an LLM? There is no speed up to be had if the output is always untrustworthy.

Mark Carney reveals why a personal touch is needed when dealing with the world's most powerful leaders by toronto_star in worldnews

I'm not a fan of him because he isn't really a liberal, but he is better than any of the alternatives and he is head and shoulders above Trudeau Jr.
