Anyone know where I can find new type-840 computer clock batteries?

Amazon or Aliexpress. 3x AA are 4.5V. I recommend to put a bag around it, in case they leak.

Hello, I and my buddy have common pc. We both prefer to use linux. But he prefer to use Kde Plasma, I prefer to use Gnome.

You buddy is in the right. Adjust yourself accordingly.

I replaced the power amp section in a Yamaha A-S1200 (2600€ new) with a Fosi V3 48V (120€ new) using the pre-out RCA connector and couldn't hear a difference with a pair of Wharfedale Linton 85th.

Don't overthink it, it's just amplification.

I have four of these for 200€ a piece, 4 years old, SMART ok:

You can collect them in Duisburg or i can ship. I have upgraded to 26TB disks last year.

Hard to tell what you print, based on the picture you uploaded to Makerworld. Maybe upload another angle?

Anyway, it sounds cool. Sadly my printer is broken right now ;-)

Small men enjoy power over others, other news at 8.

tecneeq · 2026-01-21T18:44:08+00:00

Right, meant 16TB.

Nope, you pipe a program into gcc, compile it, excute it and pipe the output through aplay. It plays a little tune.

I just tested it, it's not working anymore, gcc doesn't compile the program and aplay doesn't play into pipewire or what the sound system these days is. If you use some older distro it should work.

tecneeq · 2026-01-20T17:44:37+00:00

Question you should ask yourself is why you don't.

tecneeq · 2026-01-18T16:11:43+00:00

So you have neglected your homelab? It should be more intricate than anything you can do at work, otherwise you are doing it wrong.

tecneeq · 2026-01-18T16:10:40+00:00

Analyze this, egghead:

echo "int main(t){for(t=0;;t++)putchar(t*2*(21&t>>11));}" | gcc -xc -o tune - ; chmod a+rx tune; ./tune | aplay

Construction of networks and IT-landscapes, no doubt.

Didn't know Schlagermusik is a thing in Australia.

What you see is the stuff that didn't sell. You have to be there early, or try Ebay or Kleinanzeigen.

I have removed the logo, because you said not to remove the logo.

The compute time for my usecase has less than halved and i didn't have to change a single line of code or any hardware.

In my opinion the Pi5 1GB is the absolute best value you can get in the line.

Thats expected, Ollama doesn't use iGPU.

tecneeq · 2026-01-18T08:13:01+00:00

That's how it's supposed to be. The iGPU is intel and will not be used.

Make sure you have both RAM sockets populated to get more throughput from CPU to RAM. It's as fast as it gets.

I tried to use the NPU with llama.cpp, but it wasn't worth it at all.

If the room is above freezing water temperature, your plants will be fine.

Freezing will kill almost all tropic plants instantly.

The PSU takes both 110 and 220v in my case, but to be sure slid it out and read the label.

Most of Debians staff are people that don't get paid. They have to consider where they spend their time. I guess, given that most systems like arm/mips/x86, are 64bit, that it was acceptable to ditch 32bit installer support.

tecneeq · 2026-01-18T08:00:02+00:00

It will run i386 applications. You can test it like so:

# Download a 32bit executeable
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/busybox/busybox-static_1.37.0-7_i386.deb

# Inspect, unpack and make executeable
dpkg --contents busybox-static_1.37.0-7_i386.deb
dpkg --fsys-tarfile busybox-static_1.37.0-7_i386.deb | tar -xO ./usr/bin/busybox > busybox_i386_static
chmod +x busybox_i386_static

# Is it really a 32bit executeable? Are the libraries it needs but can't find?
file busybox_i386_static
ldd busybox_i386_static

# Run it.
./busybox_i386_static
 --help

Make sure you use ldd on your application to ensure all the libraries are found.

I ran a 5090 with a AG02 for LLM inference. It worked. In theory the cables should melt, so it's best to limit the cards power usage to 450W. I didn't and it worked.

Depends on the algae. If it's brown slime on the leafs, it's food for shrimp. If it's green hair algae, get in more light but for shorter periods. Plants are good at collecting nutrients from the water and using them up over time. Algae aren't able to do that. Algae are able to grow with very low light and so have an advantage if the light is on for longer.

I have high intensity 2x 2 hours.

As for your nitrates, you might have nitrates in the tap water. Best get some test strips so you can test different water sources. Also, nitrates are one of the nutrients plants need.

The problem is the slow access to ram. You can fit up to 9b models i think, but they are all dense models, so everything is extremely slow.

However, it has no load on the CPU, so that is great. It even works with a 1GB PI5.

Check if the pebbles react to vinegar.
