I'll upvote the heck out of any gnome stuff. Still like their first album best but I enjoy any good new metal and this is great.

Well incompetentboob, let me tell you. You will short and blow the voltage supply on the motherboard and take that port out of service.

Install Enocean wireless, battery free switches. I've used them for many years, they work awsome. The switches can go anywhere you want (double side tape on any surface) or screw in as normal light switches. The act of pushing the button generates enough energy to send the RF signal to a receiver you install with the light and its powered from AC mains.

I was going to retort they're similar sizes but the ioniq 5 is almost 20" longer, damn. My perception is so warped because everything is a god damn SUV and I get excited even when someone makes a large hatchback.

I still have mine and my daughter is probably old enough to enjoy it. Guess I need to repair the barrel jack connector and make a USB PD to barrel jack adapter so she can play all day. Thanks for the reminder!

You have to park in a garage and walk down a narrow path lined with people trying to sell you shit. Its more like visiting a mall with aggressive salesmen than a national park. It was the worst stop I made during a cross country road trip.

I use Ruffle on my personal domain to host my college flash web page again. I made the super Mario world map into a web page for an internet gaming group on campus and spent way too much time doing it. I was delighted I could host it again.

For anyone that cares

Needing something is one thing, tax payer subsidies is another topic entirely. State tax payers have now all chipped in for these Data centers and the question is was it worth it for them.

Required course work for electrical engineers in the early 2000s.

Those leaves look too light green, the plant is stressed. How often do you water the plant and how much do you give it? What is your metric for 'enough'? Do you let water sit in that tray? I would just start by watering it 1/3 as much as you currently do and see how it goes, the leaves will wilt if you are stressing it due to lack of water but in my experience cannabis can handle serious drought stress, they're champs.

Just a heads up I grow mostly vegetables, have been an avid gardener for over 15 years so my advice will be generic and not specific to growing cannabis. In general I think cannabis growers over think something that is much simpler than it seems. After growing veggies for so long, I found that cannabis is so laughably easy to grow, its ridiculously robust, will handle all kinds of abuse and grows incredibly fast. Here is the little beast I grew two years ago

You mentioned you put them outside, how long ago? Did you re-pot them when you put them outside? They will need time to establish bigger roots when you replant them. Are you growing anything else outside that is doing well or just the cannabis? A picture of the leaves will tell a better story, green has lots of shades and a light green means stress. If you gave it lots of nutrients and you got no response that is bad, either you will over feed it and stress it out (Very hard in my experience) or it will take it up and burst into growth. What this tells me is your plant CANT take up the feed in the soil because the dirt is too wet. How often do you water the plant and do you check the soil to ensure its dry before watering? Has it rained a lot? Over-watered dirt will kill your plant because it cannot get the nutrients it needs, it needs to be damp but NOT wet or the roots aren't effective.

 

So I'm cleaning out a house and found a brand new Gateway2k Pentium 4 computer. Someone opened the boxes but never took the computer out, its all still in the plastic and I don't want to ruin the unboxing for someone that is into this. The computer is free to a good home in the Boston metro area to make your retro gaming dreams come true! Shoot me a message, first come, first served.

P4 Computer - Gateway 2000 model 510 - part number 2800434

Edit: Found a taker, hopefully it goes to it's forever home on Saturday!

Edit edit: its gone!

 

So I had a verbal conversation with a coworker yesterday and now I'm getting fed very specific ads. No possible way it's accidental. I have most of the microphone access to apps limited, I have Google assistant turned off and no VPA setup in my home. I use a Oneplus 9 pro, does anyone have recommendations on how to further root cause this or just par for the course for using any standard android OS? Have other folks had similar experience after locking down their stock phones?

 
 

Title says most of it. Spin electric scooters exited the Seattle market and abandoned their scooters all over the city and apparently they have a pi 4 in them!

 

Does anyone else have a Turbo Button™ on their router? My wifi router is in essentially attic space with no AC so it gets hot and acts up with connectivity issues. My turbo mode solves the problem.

 

Found some tiny coffee plants while in Hawaii and thought they looked amusingly fake so I grabbed a picture.

 

Took a nice macro shot of a flower while vacationing in Hawaii awhile back.

 

I call this nonsense host ‘Ghost’, for me it’s similar to a tape backup solution. Fairly simple concept, it’s an old Pi1 + external mechanical drive that sits dormant with its ethernet off. Once a month, at a random time and random date it enables the ethernet, spins up the drive and pulls data from the main server to update its drive then goes black until next month. The only way to check or maintain the pi is a push button that toggles the ethernet interface. I slapped it together with some scrap wood, spare hardware and screwed it to a 2x4 in a dark corner of my basement. It’s my 5th string backup, the ultimate insurance policy because I’m mental.
