You can set up a “personal cloud” on a machine in your house that you can use as a “cloud” from anywhere. There are a lot of free software options to achieve such a thing.
“Nextcloud” it a pretty broad way to do that. You can run it from an always-on desktop.
There are a ton of nerds (myself included) who do this kinda thing, and we have our nerd communities on Lemmy and elsewhere. The general term is “self hosted”.
I strongly recommend not disclosing that you intend to use the monthly savings on vodka and gummies
JD is drawing false equivalence, to lead to the conclusion that law doesn’t matter.
Does a judge plan a military operation? No. But they can establish if it is legal.
That’s their whole job, to establish if actions violate the law. If they violate the law, they can order them to stop.
Judges don’t write the law. You don’t like the judge’s ruling? Change the law. Judges don’t write the laws, they just interpret the ones that exist.
JD is arguing that judges (and by extension, the law, and by extension the fundamental concept of the rule of law) don’t apply to him and Trump. It’s literally an argument for monarchy.
It’s just a show for the benefit of Trump and his supporters.
A few days ago, Putin was repeating Trump’s lines of “never would have happened if Joe Biden didn’t steal the election in 2020”.
These two are for sure just performing their choreographed dance designed to enthrall and delight the MAGA base. It can’t be stressed enough how this dance costs Putin nothing.
You mean they’ve adapted? Learned to copy our DNA?
Same. People literally can not comprehend that I accept whole heartedly that I believe many of the things that I do and continue to do to be immoral.
Yeah, maybe I love meat too much and I’m too weak. That has absolutely nothing to do with how I establish my moral compass.
I’d like to be a truely good person, but I’ll be goddamned if the way I do that is lowering the bar to where I already stand.
Oh nice, I’ll give that a shot. I was using IOTlink but the service wasn’t reliable on my machine and needed to be restarted constantly…
I’ll give HASS.agent a shot! Thanks
If you get a reliable way to sleep a windows machine via MQTT (not sure if that’s a route you’d take) but I’d be super interested in hearing about it.
I had a similar revelation. Home assistant has a WOL component, so you can set that up for easy starts. I’ve had mixed success with mechanisms to get HA to sleep the computer, though.
Ideally I want the machine to be sleeping I’d I’m not using it.
That makes sense as long as you’re not writing code that needs to know how to do something as complex as …checks original post… count.
He literally said it was not a negotiation tactic.
I’d never looked at them before, but yeah that super flower super modular supply looks pretty sweet. It looks like it has a ton of ports that I assume can be wired up as whatever you need.
For me, the splitters were just generic: they plug to an existing molex out connector and give you 5 SATAs on a ribbon.
https://a.co/d/gXtQ3Qp is what I’d bought, just for reference. The power supply I used them with wasn’t modular (ancient) and so whatever it had was what there was.
Maybe I misread, but if you are planning on having two different PSUs in play for the same system, it’s my understanding that it’s important to make sure the DC outputs share a common ground, which might be a little extra wiring.
I think you’re missing the sheer scale of production capacity, and severely underestimateing how it actually makes the primary issue (logistics) so much worse. Refinement turns the raw inputs into MANY output products, and you can’t mix them, so suddenly you have the same volume of products, but suddenly you need even more complex logistical frameworks to move them. The suggestion of putting refineries in AB when we’re already bottlenecked is the industrial equivalent of hiring a pro athlete to teach a newborn infant to run. There isn’t a conspiracy as to why refineries are all geographically positioned for maximal logistical efficiency: they’re extremely sensitive to logistics.
If we were going to put a refinery anywhere, it should be in BC. If they’re more comfortable putting other refined petroleum products on ships, sweet. The construction is big money infused into the economy, so is the operation. So is the increased shipping activity.
Like, Canada is one country, and now more than ever it HAS to be operating at the national level of economic interests. Canada HAS to integrate it’s energy with the rest of the world.
All AB has ever wanted is scaled access to global markets. Canada gets hosed on oil prices because the US is the only meaningful importer and they know we can’t move it to other markets. They’ll always be in the prime negotiation position as long as they’re the only material customer.
Canada (as a federal unit) has pretty desperately been trying to allow itself to trade oil on the global stage, but the infrastructure to allow that just isn’t there. To get meaningful quantities to Canadian ports required pipelines through to the west coast, and that was politically unpalatable to the people living there.
Really sucks that Canada just plainly didn’t build the infrastructure to expand to global markets. Most intercontinental trade of Canadian petroleum is via Florida. It’d be great if Canada could flood the European and Asian markets to kneecap Russias war machine funding. But the infrastructure isn’t there.
Depending on how power hungry the drives are, and if your PSU has enough spare power, you can get cable splitters. I had some spare molex ports which I plugged a cable from Amazon that split it into 5 SATA power connectors.
You don’t want to infinitely split cables though, as tempting as that can be, because there are real electrical limits to doing that. Also just because a power supply is rated at X watts, that’s the total. Hard drives will use the 5V and 12V rails and usually there are individual limits on each rail.
Upgrading the PSU is another option. Probably the cleanest easiest best solution IMO. But even then, you probably can’t find a PSU that’ll give you 12 SATA connectors out of the box so you’ll probably need some splitters in there anyways.
In my case specifically, I’ve actually got a second power supply (because i already had it and it was otherwise just gathering dust) powering the extra drives. It’s a bit more complicated to get set up but, it’s an option as well.
Edit: also if you’re asking yourself where can you physically PUT the drives, I 3D printed these and slapped some fans on them:
No, so they can restaff w/ H1B
My grandmother died in a Siberian labour camp for being an academic.
Some redneck spray painted shit like “go home” on a Mosque in my rural hometown. Like, literally illiterate levels of redneck. I think they literally spelled “Canada” wrong in one of the messages.
When people saw it in the morning, the community SWARMED the mosque with cleaning supplies to scrub it off. All the school kids made posters saying stuff like “You ARE home”. By noon, the mosque was cleaned and windows plastered with the posters the kids made.
Kinda pissed me off that the national headlines neglected to mention the community response.
Made me realize pretty early on that ragebait sells and the media knows it.
There are probably countless instances of communities banding together that you’ll never hear about. Doesn’t mean they don’t happen.
