I have around 100GB of various Linux and BSD ISOs from over the years that I haven’t cleaned out yet. Most of the ones I use today I just download as I need it and delete it after. Unless it’s for my VMs, I’ll keep those around so I can quickly get a new one built.
I’d say GIMP for photo editing would be a good one to learn. It’s come in handy in a pinch both at home and at work when I’ve needed something done up real quick.
Not much for me atm, though in a day or two I’m (finally) fixing a major problem with my VM storage array - I’m replacing the crappy Crucial BX500’s in my VM storage mirror with a couple refurbished 2TB Intel D3-S4510 SSDs I got from Server Part Deals. I’m very excited for this saga to be over, since I’ve been fighting horrible VM performance for over a year, and it was bad enough to where simply pushing changes to git repos or syncing a modest amount of data to my Nextcloud would hang the VMs for a few minutes!
Otherwise I’m just looking at maybe replacing my Puppet infra with SaltStack, and getting some new Packer images built for FreeBSD 15.1 and Almalinux 10 :)
+1 on the Fractal Define series. My Fractal Define 7 was a breeze to work in, even if it is a little expensive.
I want to believe this is a sign AI investment is drying up, but I know that’s just me being hopeful 🙃
I went to dinner at a fancy restaurant with my wife and our friends, and I got an $85 steak. Definitely worth it!
That’s insane it’s buried so deep in the settings. I get why, but that’s terrible
I mean to be fair I hate Android too, I just also hate iOS :)
I’ve been running MoCA in my home for the last ~5 years and it seems to be doing just fine. Even in my last house with older coax run I was able to get ~1Gbps to my endpoints. The latency difference hasn’t been a problem for me, even with 3-4 adapters in use.
It’s not quite as nice as having cat6 run everywhere, but unless you’re trying to like edit 4K video off a NAS or something that needs a ton of bandwidth it should do just fine.
FWIW, I use these adapters from GoCoax, but there are other good ones out there too: https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-Ethernet-Bandwidth-existing/dp/B09RB1QYR9
I tend to stick Elegoo PLA/PLA+ and that usually works well for me - their dark blue looks fantastic IMO. Overture’s PLA seems to print well too, so did the roll of eSun I got.
Just avoid Creality Ender PLA at all costs. That stuff was awful!
This is actually kinda cool! Hopefully it eventually becomes a “default” of some sort or at least has an easy toggle in compatible configs.
oh gee, thanks! 🤣
If this is true, that’s a small win but I’ll take it :)
That’s very cool! I’ll have to make one for my wife :)
I wouldn’t call myself a “picky” eater per se, but my peanut/tree nut allergy makes me apprehensive to try new food. Especially if there aren’t clear labels for things like peanut oil and cross contamination.
