They're actually about the same heat wise. I use some relative cheap NICs based on the Intel 82599 controller and 10G SFP+ modules.

It's not a bad setup, I wish there was a second NVMe slot in my M920q boxes, but what are you going to do?

Building a M920x with 4 NVMe and 10gig Ethernet is very tempting.

Hey that's almost me! My home lab is three M920q systems with 10Gb fiber for Ceph. I didn't know you could do multiple NVMes though, right now I'm doing some janky AF USB drives.

I just bought a fridge after my 15 year old one shit out. Let me tell you, trying to find a decently sized, dumb fridge with an ice and water dispenser is like finding the holy grail.

Samsung has evidently partnered with some timelords to get over 30 cu ft of fridge space in a 70"tall frame - including their door sized tablet.

Bosch has the next biggest but locks stuff behind an smart app. Hell, even LG has smart features to help you with your ice maker that will probably either be DOA or will break in a year.

I finally found a Whirlpool that isn't smart and has a decent sized fridge, but it was a struggle.

That's what I did for my wedding - shoutcast with a requests plugin so the wedding party and guests could choose what songs to play.

Hope mine like shitty candy!

Get a second opinion from literally anyone else. If your optometrist is dismissive and down playing your concerns, fire them and get a new doctor who will listen.

Dude, have your pupillary distance checked. I got a pair of glasses from warby parker and used their "hold a business card to your nose so we can guess at that measurement". This pair was instant fucking headaches until I went into one of their brick and mortar stores and they checked things.

The focus point for my lenses was a good 5mm below where it should have been. My eyes are fucking bad and so I was basically looking through the distorted edge of high index lenses.

A quick trip back to the shop for the lenses to get redone and now I can wear them comfortably.

This is for anyone having issues with new glasses - if your prescription hasn't changed that much from your prior year, but new glasses hurt or are severely uncomfortable, get that shit checked out. That shouldn't be the case.

For you, @OP - if you've always had a script but never been able to use your glasses due to headaches/motion sickness, get a different eye doctor. Don't just go to a mall lens crafters, try to find an optometrist whose name is on the door. Tell them your symptoms. They should check your eyes for a plethora of things - maybe you've got astigmatism, or something else.

It's not normal to have a severe reaction to glasses if they're the correct match for your eyes.

As a counter point, the US would have to re-vote for the 14th Amendment.

As a counter counter point also the 2nd.

You know, I think I like the established way of doing amendments - passes by Congress and a plurality of the states.

They should tap into the gamer market. HBO Min/Max - Optimize your viewing habits to minimize not fun while maximizing fun fun!

The official meshtastic app has a map view that shows all known nodes.

[–] pezhore@infosec.pub 5 points 4 months ago

Yep, that can be normal. For my city, the local group has a private (but free to join) channel that's a bit more active.

Do a web search for meshtastic and your city and see if one pops up.

It is cool! The barrier to entry is relatively low. The only thing to really worry about is:

  1. What band/frequency is appropriate for you country.
  2. Are there others around to which you can connect?

If there's not a lot of people around it's not the end of the world. Nodes can connect over the Internet via MQTT servers. Yes, this defeats the purpose of having an offline/decentralized communication platform, but it is a good stop gap until more nodes are put up.

Here's a sample of what I can see in a somewhat large-ish Midwest City in the US (there's about 63 nodes I can reach by hopping through relays).
