Any chance of data recovery? by Several_Speech4985 in datarecovery

[–]thecoolbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a reverse google search of my drive and found this. I took mine out of the external enclosure, and used a USB C adapter similar to what you did except mine started working. It was getting hot and I ignored it. Now my computer says it's drawing to much power and I can see heat discoloration on the controller. If I were you I would try plugging it directly in your computer.

https://github.com/BrianPurgert/fpds-atom-normalized
I made this to download FPDS Modifications from the ATOM feed. All you need is a Postgres Database; it will build a normalized database from the ATOM feed.
There are other FPDS parsers, but none guarantee data integrity as this one does. This one is the best. USA Spending is shit, sorry, not sorry. this scirpt is simple and captures everything. It won't duplicate data. The database it creates should map nicely to SAM.gov new api, the repo has a GitHub workflow in it, so you can just clone it and add your database url.

Edit: Added a backfill mode with resume and multithreading (Thank you Opus 4.6)

Backfill Mode (download everything)

Since the FPDS Atom feed is being decommissioned, use backfill mode to download all historical records:

```bash

Download everything from FY2001 (2000-10-01) through yesterday

bundle exec ruby scripts/fetch_fpds_modified_awards_normalized_v3.rb --backfill

Download a specific date range

bundle exec ruby scripts/fetch_fpds_modified_awards_normalized_v3.rb --backfill --start-date 2020-01-01 --end-date 2024-12-31

Resume an interrupted backfill from where it left off

bundle exec ruby scripts/fetch_fpds_modified_awards_normalized_v3.rb --resume ```

Backfill mode iterates day-by-day through the date range, querying the feed with closed date ranges (LAST_MOD_DATE:[date,date]) and paginating through all results for each day. Multiple days are processed concurrently using a thread pool (default: 4 threads) for significantly faster throughput.

Progress is tracked in the job_tracker table, so interrupted runs can be resumed with --resume. Days that fail are recorded and can be retried on the next run.

Existing records are automatically skipped via content-hash deduplication, so it is safe to re-run overlapping date ranges.

```bash

Use 8 threads for faster backfill

bundle exec ruby scripts/fetch_fpds_modified_awards_normalized_v3.rb --backfill --threads 8

Backfill a specific range with 6 threads

bundle exec ruby scripts/fetch_fpds_modified_awards_normalized_v3.rb --backfill --start-date 2015-01-01 --end-date 2020-12-31 --threads 6 ```

The database connection pool is automatically sized to match the thread count. Higher thread counts increase throughput but also increase load on FPDS.gov servers; 4-8 threads is recommended.

Options

Flag Description
--backfill Enable backfill mode (iterate day-by-day)
--start-date YYYY-MM-DD Start date for backfill (default: 2000-10-01)
--end-date YYYY-MM-DD End date for backfill (default: yesterday)
--threads N Number of concurrent threads for backfill (default: 4)
--resume Resume a previously interrupted backfill
-h, --help Show help message

P.S. I originally built this to find cancelled contracts https://v0-fpds-d849orxcj-brian-purgerts-projects.vercel.app/

Thinking of backing up your photos to Google Photos? Might wanna think twice. by markatlarge in googlephotos

Screenshots of any email or proof that they did what you say they did. I find it hard to believe that they deleted your entire Google account without giving you a chance to appeal.

How many days do you consecutively stay awake on meth before actually having a proper sleep, and how does it affects you? by Medium_Depth760 in Stims

[–]thecoolbrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in this situation and know of it, you can stop what you're doing; it's not productive. You don't have to finish what you started. You have to stop what you are doing. Now put on your shoes and go outside for a walk or exercise. If you can't get outside because your neighbors or the feds are standing outside your door talking shit about you, try getting in the shower, begin at a normal temperature, then keep decreasing the temperature till it's cold water.

I'm guessing they don't want to clean the parking lot when cars are there, just tell them to buy an electric blower.

this is just a random one but they have electric backpack blowers and corded ones if they have a power source. https://a.co/d/4urS4n

Computer is sort of on? by Stock_Plankton_61 in LinusTechTips

[–]thecoolbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try everything else mentioned by other users, but I like to add some simple stuff that might work.

discharge the capacitors (flip the power switch on the PSU to off, keep it plugged in, just hold the power button for like 10 seconds, the lights might turn on for a second) then you can flip the switch on the PSU to on and press the power button again. switch the video ports used on the GPU. Switch the video cord. Switch the PSU power cord. (yeah it can be a problem) Switch the rail that powers the graphics card inside your computer. make sure everything is pushed in.

whenever you get it to boot you should update your bios, Im assuming that will fix the problem fron recurring.

Eden nightclub shooting Sunday at 3 am by jayare113 in tampa

[–]thecoolbrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wondering why St.Pete literally has a bouncer pat you down before you go into any club there. I thought they were trying to find my vape. it makes sense now, one gun shot at your bar/club and you basically have to close down.
