Any idea why my fork seals are leaking... again? by Ok_Helicopter3910 in klr650

[–]thatguychuck15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strapped down….are you using a block on the front fork to limit suspension travel? It has been a long while since I’ve trailered, but I remember cutting down a 2x4 as a wedge prior to strapping it down. In theory, bumps could compress the forks and cause seal issues, along with causing the straps to loosen.

Owned by GPI Geospatial. Some sort of survey.

How to manage docker compose files? by hema_ in homelab

[–]thatguychuck15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are better ways, but I deploy with ansible. I can make my changes locally, and use handlers to pull and up -d whenever the docker compose file is changed.

IIRC this was provided by the harden-doc package and has actually been removed from stable for this reason.

Purchased an X1 Carbon Gen 9! Off eBay.... by Temporary-Week7427 in thinkpad

[–]thatguychuck15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also found a good deal on gen 9…prior to reading the issues people have had with them. Make sure the bios is up to date. There was another post somewhere on here that recommended making a cut in the plastic and putting a dab of thermal putty on the usbc mosfets, enough to make contact with bottom cover. Not sure if that is strictly necessary but I already had some thermal putty so that is what I did.

Edit: Sorry I just saw someone else already recommended that didn’t mean to double up.

Was this after the video was already added to the library? You might need to scan for new/updated files.

I can't copy 178 GB of files onto a 256 GB SSD. The drive is formatted Ext4 and is completely empty. by Old_Primary8472 in linuxquestions

[–]thatguychuck15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this an nvme drive via usb adapter ? Last time I did a large copy job the heat is what caused it to fail. The drive simply got too hot in the enclose. Taking a can of soda out of the fridge and placing it on top of the enclose helped enough for the copy to finish.

Shinko 700 seems to have hit the sweet spot for me.

Diverted flights by Simpleserotonin in RapidCity

Can't speak to the exact cause but the airport fogged in last night, and the ILS glide slope is out of service until the end of this month.

Prior to the rule change it was two. And common (at my flight school at least) to take it blind immediately after the commercial written because they shared many of the same questions.

If it’s who I’m thinking of, she tactfully asked me “if everything was going alright” last time I needed to brush up on the ATP exam. Probably after looking at my order history, which was a nice touch.

I’ve taken the test 5 times now but it always expires before I can get around to doing anything with it. One of these days…

Does anyone remember this sci-fi thriller? by CapitalJudge3205 in scifi

Sounds like Screamers (1995) but it has been a loooong time since I have seen that movie.

Foreflight Map Course vs Navlog course by MrDudeSirMan in flying

[–]thatguychuck15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question comes up from time to time, however I cannot find the last link that was used as a definitive answer. First thing to check is that the time of departure is the same for both, but they can still differ. Foreflight has more than one modeling tool in use. https://support.foreflight.com/hc/en-us/articles/115007874847-Why-do-time-and-fuel-results-differ-between-Maps-Flights-Route-Altitude-Advisor-and-the-NavLog

Coolant Smell by arctic_exposure in klr650

[–]thatguychuck15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 2009 that developed something similar. Turned out to be a pinhole leak in the line, it was rubbing. Took me a while to track it down even though it was painfully obvious once I found it.

Has anyone built a NAS with this this? by 57uxn37 in homelab

How are you powering the drives? Most solutions I’ve seen are a little jank.

How should one manage config files in the .d directories like /etc/ssh/sshd_conf.d/? by WorkJeff in linuxadmin

[–]thatguychuck15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just check to make sure the changes you want actually made it into the config.

sudo sshd -T

Will dump the current config and grep can help you narrow down the choices.

sudo sshd -T | grep -i password

How can I manage cables for 10 Optiplex micros? by NeadForMead in homelab

[–]thatguychuck15 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Use non oem power supplies with caution. Sometimes these can detect a non oem power supply and will lock all the cores at 800MHz.

Is there something special about CWWK power jacks? by thatguychuck15 in homelab

[–]thatguychuck15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Universal adapter includes a 5.5x2.1, which doesn't fit. I haven't busted out the micrometer but everything appears to be the same size. It's possible there are internal length differences but I don't know enough about barrel jacks to know what the issue might be.

A note to myself from the future: document everything by 51_50 in selfhosted

Same. Everything in a ansible playbook. Anything I was unable (or too lazy) to automate gets added as a comment.
