I’m not sure “Reddit levels of activity” is necessarily a good thing :)
But yeah that takes some getting used to for sure. I would think this is one of the more popular communities here for kinda obvious reasons given the nature of Lemmy. I’ve only been here since the first great migration but I’ve already seen Lemmy in general grow tremendously.
Trump’s a Russian employee at this point.
FYI, bellend is like dickhead.
I’ve got lab machines sitting idle. I know what I’m doing come Monday.
So for at least another 4 years?
I love owning a home but fuck it’s expensive. Learn how to do stuff yourself is the best advice I can give you.
I have saved so much money being able to troubleshoot and repair simple things like hvac, electrical, plumbing, woodworking, etc. YouTube is amazing for learning this stuff. A good example: I recently had to replace two hvac condenser fans that would have likely cost me a $1000 a pop to fix. It’s bad enough the motors themselves were $300 a pop. Plumbing is easy if you have the right tools (pex is awesome). Electrical can be pretty easy if you’re willing to learn (I was a computer engineer in college and a system architect by trade so I get the electrical stuff). Learn how to patch holes in drywall. You’d be surprised how much you’ll be doing that. Learn how to replace a faucet. Learn how to replace the inwards of a toilet.
The great thing about a fixer upper is you can afford to make mistakes. Take your time, don’t rush it. Make little improvements all the time. It all adds up.
Tailscale or Cloudflare will solve your problems.
Only thing I can come up with is a Commodore Pet but the cassettes were just normal cassettes. The memory was about right and the weight is sorta close. Anything else you remember? You’ve piqued my curiosity. As far as round storage like you described the only thing I’ve found was something called DecTape. But those were used on things beasts like a pdp-8 or pdp-12s. Not something you’d have in your house.
A Coleco Adam. I spent hours writing games for that thing. And it broke all the time. I must have returned that thing like three times. Then we had a house fire (unrelated to the computer) and I got a a Commodore 128 (which I just now realized also had a z80). I spent hours writing games and software for that too. Guess it was destiny I work in IT.
Let’s see if you can guess what this was….
Operating system EOS, OS-7, CP/M, TDOS
CPU Zilog Z80A @ 3.58 MHz
Memory 64 KB RAM 16 KB VRAM
This was in early 1984
As an American, good.
So… more like a butcher?
I like homarr.
I know right. The only issue is instead of a world at war with countries fighting each other, it’s going to be like 20 separate civil wars.
Sorta. I found this video a while back that helped me understand it. Pay attention to the clock hands part and how the movement is affected by how fast information is traveling in them. It’s basically the same idea as the stick but a different direction.
If there’s a financial incentive for them to do it, then that’s why they did it. Follow the money. There are no ramifications for Ticketmaster to do this sort of abhorrent behavior. They just don’t care.
Just remember if the data is important, raid is not backup. Have the media in another place. I have like 40-50 1tb drives I’ve copied stuff too in case everything goes belly up. Restoring won’t be fun but it will be possible.
If it were me personally, I’d get two more 16 tb drives and Raid 6 the whole thing. But that’s only because you’ve got the NAS already. If I just had the drives I’d set up a JBOD and either use TrieNAS, Unraid, or maybe OpenMediaVault.
I was replying to comment the “OBGYNs are sex workers” comment. Tran surgery pics are very useful and not porn.
If you can’t follow that logic I’m not sure what to do.
Exactly.
I gotta comment on the mid 70s thing and how great it is to hear that. I have also been into computers since the late 70s (well and early 80s) although I imagine I got started a little younger than you … like I was 8 and writing basic/ assembly on my various machines back in the day (TRS-80 Model III, Tandy CoCo 2, Coleco Adam, C64). So I’m only mid 50s and I thought I was the old guy around here :) But damn if you don’t give me hope that I can stay like this for many years to come.
