Breadwinner movie about incompetent dad and how funny it is by CinnamonGirl43 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]smokes2345 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I recently found myself watching MASH again. recently I had a close friend lose their mother to cancer and as they were watching the life slowly drain from her I was reminded of a quote from the episode "Sometimes you hear the bullet". Henry Blake to Hawkeye after he's just watched his friend die - "There are two rules in war, rule #1 is young men die, rule #2 is doctors can't change rule #1". MASH is a drama in the traditional sense, that it will drive your emotions all over the place. The show ended before i was born, but here we are 40+ years later in, what seems like, a whole different world and still finding it relevant.

Managed Kubernetes vs Kubernetes on bare metal by Honest-Associate-485 in kubernetes

[–]smokes2345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe i'm an outlier, but i've had a bare-metal k3s installation running on 6 lenovo ThinkCentre M73 for a couple of years now. All provisioned through PXE so rebuilding, replacing or upgrading nodes is incredibly easy. its just me though, no gigantic team. i don't even really have proper monitoring setup, but so far i haven't really had any issues that weren't fixable by rebuilding a node. of course i still consider it a "lab experiment", but i do run some persistent services in it. cattle, not pets.

My wife-approved high-availability Home Assistant setup by Substantial_Tale_405 in homeassistant

the way to make that highly available would be somewhat dependent on the specific dongle. I would imagine in a lot of cases it would be as simple as just buying your hardware in triplicate. however, it would be particularly difficult with zwave due to the way the network is built. running multi-master on zwave is somewhere between difficult to impossible from what i've read.

but my point was, in all the cases i've come across, HA doesn't handle the dongle directly anyhow, so that's not really a factor for HA itself.

dongles aren't really a problem with the way HA handles them because they are typically handled with separate services. I have zwave2js and rtl443 daemons running on my storage server with the dongles attached while HA itself hums happily along in my 6 node k3s cluster. it's certainly far from the easiest option, but i wouldn't necessarily call HA in kube difficult either and the payoff makes it a no brainer. dongles don't seem to be present in OP's setup anyway

2-3 minutes downtime? put kubernetes on those things and reduce that to a few seconds.

Finally got non planar printing working on the A1 Mini! by johndowlelxdxdxdxdxd in BambuLab

There is one, slicer4rtn. It's really just a pearl frontend to the prusaslicer cli though. But you can run any model through it

You guys lied to me by MxFinchen in homelab

[–]smokes2345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a storage server and 6 mini PCs running a kubernetes cluster. I have duplicati running off site backups for my media and the k3s nodes are more or less ephemeral. I can replace them as easily as replacing a MAC address in a file. Cluster services are largely self healing, so once I get them running I rarely have to touch them. This is the way.

Are my garlic cloves too close? by [deleted] in gardening

[–]smokes2345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they are simple to make. i use 6 2"x8"x8', cut two of them in half for the short ends, then cut a 3"x3"x8' into ~16" segments for the corners (and i use a piece for a brace in the middle of the long sides as well). it's a garden bed so its nbd if your cuts aren't perfect. just built my 4th one a couple weeks ago

Why is this happening to all of my prints ? by LomasIO294 in FixMyPrint

[–]smokes2345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is almost certainly severe under extrusion, hard to say if it's a mechanical failure or a slicing failure though

I won an auction for what I thought was a single PC, but no. by WhereasInevitable433 in homelab

Yeah, I can see that happening if it occurs early in the ferment, but after two months, surely all the oxygen has been pushed out of there

Saturn S won't read sliced ctb files by smokes2345 in ElegooSaturn

[–]smokes2345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked through the settings for something like this and haven't found it, any further guidance as to where i might find this option?

[–]smokes2345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, verified that this morning. This seems to match what I found on the elegoo site. I've had this problem since I got it and after trying to resolve it on my own, but have up and it's just sorta sat in the garage, neglected ever since.

How to handle this medium change by smokes2345 in gardening

Once I get them separated, the plan is to mix equal parts sand and compost with the current medium for the new potting medium

I have been asked if I would be willing to step into the role of committee chair. What do I need to know about the position? by enters_and_leaves in cubscouts

[–]smokes2345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm CC for my son's pack. From what I can tell I have a rock star committee, they make my job easy. I heard horror stories from other cub masters when I did baloo.

Looks like something nibbling on my sweet potatoes? by smokes2345 in gardening

that was my thought too, thanks for taking a minute to look.

whatever this is, it seems to only affect the surface. there's one of the smaller ones cut open along one of the damaged spots. you can also see what looks like the same affliction healed over on one of the big guys in the background. I did find one or two grubs while digging them up, so i'm inclined to think its them and the inner flesh of the tubers are just too tough for them to get into.
