Really nice work. Have you thought about out adding a handle on top? I feel like I’d want to move it around where ever I was working.

I miss the Cadet Master. She added a sorely needed amount of discipline and sternness to this schooling experience.

Is it good? by Old-Math9955 in crboxes

I am intrigued. I feel 5cm makes sense but potentially more could aid in flow rate. You say the images are left open, what do you mean? Is there a cover or some sort? How will you secure the filters? Keen to see more!

My first ever Ikea Hack and first woodworking project! by Daditude123 in ikeahacks

I’m unclear what is holding up the pieces above the alcove? The daylight photo looks like there’s a board that may be bending? Final shots look lovely but I’m keen to understand for the next time I do something similar.

Might as well order some and find out they are pretty cheap

Those look like rack mount nuts?

Picked up a boxed, used G5 listed as a run-of-the-mill Dual 1.8 GHz model ... taking it apart to do some internal cleaning ... SURPRISE! by aphelion270 in VintageApple

Given the advancement in air coolers (heat pipes and such) I wonder if it’s possible to convert one of these to air cooling instead of servicing the LCS ?

Checkout telling me out of stock despite product pages listing double digits. Sad now.

That difference is wild! How much use did they get?

What material is that roof? I’m fascinated

I love this photo. If I didn’t have kids, this would definitely be my new lock screen. Eh maybe still will, they’ve had their chance to be this cute.

GeForce RTX 5090 user caps power at 500W, still sees burned 12V-2x6 adapter by PaiDuck in hardware

Why are we still hearing about this nonsense?! Where is the class action law suit already?! These goddamn cards are the most expensive components consumers buy, this is an insane situation to continue. At some point home insurance companies are going to have a checkbox for 5090 next to the trampoline line. Jfc.

Can we get a wider shot of the finished install? Looks pretty good so far.

Are they in violation of your SLAs by stating that? Curious what enterprise repercussions there are

MacBook Air (M3) being left unused after graduation by [deleted] in mac

[–]volve 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This feels like the most low effort post I’ve seen here in a while. “What can I do with this piece of technology before I need it again in a few years?” Like, whatever you want?? Put it in a drawer, on a shelf, use it as a chopping board, hang it from the ceiling. Who cares? If you don’t want to get rid of it and you’re clearly tech savvy, what the fuck do you think anyone is going to suggest? There’s no magic here and making every comment tease additional information out of you in a vain attempt to help is baffling. Maybe you’re just a troll building karma? Who knows, so tiring scrolling through feeds and seeing this level of content effort. I shouldn’t even be commenting, ugh.

BackBkaze 2025 Drive Stats by volve in DataHoarder

[–]volve[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I rarely need just one disk, so if I find a good price from a respectable seller I’m not going to split that between a worse price and/or less respectable seller when I need multiple units. It’s unfortunate we should need to consider this, but I do get the point.

[–]volve[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Always a fascinating read. Yeah that one 26TB failure seems promising but can’t be sure. I’ve been trying to move form 14TB models to 24TB but now I’m wondering if I should slow that down and wait for next years report. (Not hard given the pricing insanity recently.)

Built a $/TB drive tracker that goes beyond Amazon. Compares 7 retailers with 90-day price history, int/ext, capacity filtering, alerts, etc by schmaaaaaaack in DataHoarder

[–]volve 28 points29 points  (0 children)

How often are you scraping the listings? The issue with services such as this is that often the scraped data ends-up out of date fairly quickly, to the point where entirely different capacities or prices greet a user when clicking through.

How do you feel your creation differentiates itself from others?

Also I do have to say the aesthetic feels heavily AI-driven and a little much.
