Is this going to be another one where they fuck up the recog, cancel your google account and report you to the cops because you text pics of your kid to his doctor?

If you don't mess with the partitions during the install and don't format, and make the same username, you should be back to normal after a reinstall. Take a backup offline, of course.

Oh, there's a few engines like the Northstar and the Toyota 5.7 where the starter is actually under the intake manifold, effectively inside the engine. The amount of stuff you need to take off to even see the starter would make your eyes water.

I will often drive a screwdriver into the bottom a filter, but this one is impossible to get to and even if I did, it would dribble on the exhaust pipe.

What did I miss?

Or just going outside and ejecting that puppy without touching anything except the other side of your nose. Farmer blow FTW.

I have a truck where the oil drain plug is directly over the axle. I have to strap an offset funnel under the drain to get it to not splash all over the fuck, and of course, it's not easy to get that stay put so inevitably I have oil everywhere. Same truck has the oil filter tucked up where I need a special oil filter wrench with a ratchet and extensions to remove it, and when you pull the filter out, you have to tip it so it spills the oil inside everywhere.

I had an idea a long time ago of a website where you can crowdfund a private investigator to find engineers that do shit like this, and a crew to go over to their house and beat them halfway to death.

IDK about invidious, but on Piped I had to add a container that grabs POtokens for the Newpipe API to use to pull videos.

Fuck, that made no sense to me until I saw this comment.

 

Delve into the wondrous labyrinth of sparkling images that is the Debian build output.

 

I think it's a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.

 

In multi-monitor, every time I run my mouse between screens, if I'm too high or low, it catches on the hot corner areas. I could see it being wanted if I were dragging a window so I could use them to snap to, but every other time it's just a pain in the ass, especially since I turn off all the hot corner functions anyway.

 

Found my dial torque wrench that I use for setting up gears, a spacer I needed to put the wife's winter tires on, and a few other things.

It's better than Santa Claus showing up.

This looks like a viable competitor to the recently announced HA Voice Preview hardware. Looks like it's sold out at this point but there will be more coming. More microphones, presence detection and a builtin amplifier to run fairly substantial speakers.

Some days i fix the tools i use to fix tools. And some days i just fix stuff, but that's pretty rare.

 

Seems like a fairly mature and well maintained project. Can be fired up in DevContainer for hacking.

 

I've seen these pop up before but didn't have a specific use for them, as I do all my own containers on a couple docker host VMs using compose. But for someone getting into it, it would seem like the way to go, maybe as a Docker-within-Docker container, or a full distro.

I know Portainer does a bit of this with it's Stacks, where you can choose some containers to deploy a pre-built app, as does some NAS software like Unraid. I'm looking for something that has a fairly well maintained stockpile of pre-configured containers that it can deploy (maybe after editing) and manage. I'm sure I've seen github projects that do this but I'll be arsed if I seem to be able to find anything right now. Bonus points if it deploys a Traefik proxy for its applications and configures them to it.

I imagine there's a dozen projects like this that the community can point me at.

I'm not sure if this is related to Night Light (which I don't have enabled) or even just the monitors dimming in power settings, but I constantly have to go and bring my brightness back up from 20% when I sit down at my computer in the AM.

I have disabled Sleep as well, and the only thing left is the regular Energy Saving features of dimming after X minutes and Turn Off Monitors after X minutes, but I've set both of those to short timeouts and when it comes back, it's at 100%.

Edit: For some reason I was on X11. I've switched to Wayland and will see if that changes anything.

Any ideas what's causing this?

 

Why do the vast majority of these seem to either block off the 40pin header or convert it to female header that's incompatible with further hats? And why are they full sized, despite having minimal circuitry on them? I can appreciate the ones that build in a cooling system, but that doesn't need to block off all the pins that aren't being used by the hat.

It seems like all this could be accomplished with a small board that doesn't interfere with everything else one intends to do with a Pi or Pi-clone. In fact, I'm surprised at the lack of built-in POE Pi boards out there.

 

I need a few of these for rpi's around the farm. Tired of dealing with LoRa.

 

I'm looking for a lowish priced laptop that I can put at least 2 extra monitors on. I want a second landscape 4k and a portrait 1080. Don't need anything special. One monitor has DP and HDMI, but the other just HDMI. Do I just get a DP hub and use a converter dongle for the second?

What would be a recommended laptop for this scenario? I only want AMD CPU and GPU as I can't be arsed to fight with noVideo and Intel doesn't deserve my business.
