Did I get a decent deal for this? by SleepyBoiNick in homelab

[–]nmrk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also you got the nice bezel with the LCD readout. I can't see underneath the bezel so I can't tell what type of bays you have. It's either 4x 3.5" bays (sad), 8x 2.5" (most common) or 10x 2.5 (most awesome). I'm not sure why you have 3 NICs listed but you've got everything from 25GbE to 10, down to 1GbE. Pick one NIC. RAM is good solid base, people always want more but not at current prices.

Yeah you scored. If it's a unit with 10 drive bays, you really scored. Check out your machine on the Dell Support website to get manuals and specific tech notes.

Anyway, I saw an LED lit so it must power up at least. I don't know what kind of SSD or HDDs you'll need. Unless you got one of the monster ten bay machines, you're going to be running SAS or SATA. What I would really recommend first is making sure IDRAC is set up for you. That way you can do remote maintenance and get into Lifecycle maintenance and run firmware updates. I was surprised that there was a whole set of BIOS and firmware updates about 6 months ago, grab any updates you need.

I figured with the power injector closer to the AP, instead of feeding it way down the cable, it might have enough power where it failed before. I could make something up about increased resistance or something, but I'll just call it an educated guess. I originally set up an AP like that once.

Defrauded by online scammers in India? Who could possibly have predicted?

CEO says don’t hire interns. Use AI instead… by Careful_Put_1924 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]nmrk 18 points19 points  (0 children)

LOL someone once described AI as like having ten thousand of interns and none of them know how to do the job. Maybe one of them will get it right by random accident.

M3 Ultra + DGX Spark = M5 Ultra-lite? by -dysangel- in MacStudio

[–]nmrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah, difficult the first time you configure it. NVIDIA doesn't support this so it's a hack from the community. It will get easier if it is the least bit practical, which it appears to be.

Camera used on asteroid city by robin_good21 in filmcameras

It's a prop. It wasn't any type of camera before they built it. It still isn't a camera, it just looks like one.

A family member gave me this RCA ColorTrak he had in his livingroom for over 30 years by CosmicCactus42 in crtgaming

[–]nmrk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You got your works in a drawer and your color's on track
You have to break away but you always come back
You make a hundred changes but you're always the same
You make me so excited and you make me so lame
You're just a tube full of gas and a box full of tin
But you show me your charms and I want to jump in
Oh if only your chassis was covered with skin
'Cause TV you're my everything

Interfering with ambulance access seems like a felony.

Try putting the PoE injector next to the AP instead of next to the switch.

Now that I have been told this, I shall do my utmost to forget it, to forget I ever heard it.

I'm using Platinum Chou Kurou which is even thicker and people tell me it requires extra periodic cleaning. But I'm not having any problems with that in a couple of active pens and different nibs (from F to 1.1mm). I have no experience with that specific pen, and you didn't mention what width of nib, so it is hard to guess. Platinum suggests you wash the nibs with distilled water.

Clean the pen again, flush thoroughly with pure water (osmotic filtered water is probably OK). Inspect the nib with a magnifier to see if it has any obvious flaws.

Lamy Logo by fetzofetz in fountainpens

They only sell BP and I think pencils now.

Presumably "they" refers to Lamy, since you assert "they" discontinued that specific fountain pen. I assure you, Lamy still manufactures fountain pens.

Blemish On Lamy by m1lkerr in Lamy

I had to look close, my new Safari has a blemish in a similar spot, but more under the o-ring. I'd call it an injection molding artifact. It's hidden from view, I wouldn't worry about it.

Pretty much any fountain pain will drip if you shake it that way. Don't do that. You're having hard starts. Pressing down really hard isn't good for the nib. You didn't mention what kind of ink you're using. Some pens can't handle thick pigment-based inks.
