The Fractal Design Define R cases can house a lot of hard drives, but they are kind of big. My Define R6 can theoretically house 11 3.5" drives iirc in addition to 4x 2.5" but it does not come with that many drive sleds out of the box. For the 2.5" drives only 2 sleds are included. I think for the 3.5" it was about 6.
I work in computer science (specifically in embedded software) and had a task last year where I needed to extract the pulse rate from a biosignal by detecting the signal peaks and measuring the intervals between them. Derivatives of the signal can be used for the peak detection, but I honestly did not think about this until a coworker reminded me.
For processing any digital signal, digital filters are incredibly important. When working with them, you will be exposed to polynomials though.
If you are interested in robotics, vectors are also quite important.
I sometimes wish I could retake my school math classes. I was never good at math but I feel like now that I have seen some practical applications for stuff that we were force fed back them, I could learn it much better.
The Dräger Explore 3300 or 3500 are also good options with replaceable filters. When I bought mine it was actually cheaper than the 3M mask, though I live in germany where the company is based and not in the US.
This reminded me of the Pern books from Anne McCaffrey. For the most part they seem to be in a medieval setting but the planet they are on was originally colonized before they lost their modern technology due to a natural disaster. One book was written about this colonization period. Most of the books are set centuries later. At some point they rediscover old ruins from the colonization and manage to reactivate an AI system.
Honestly, I'm really happy with the ability to just try out stuff with docker and then nuke the entire compose stack if it does not work. I also know perfectly where any possible leftovers from the attempt are (the bind mounts or volumes) and can be certain I deleted everything I "installed".
Although I have to admit that I absolutely had some issues with containers in the past, mainly when there are two or more containers with dependencies on one another.
Never used k8s or the cloud so I have nothing to comment on that ;D
I feel like they are honestly easier to write nice with. With a ballpoint pen, I tend to scribble where as with a fountain pen my writing seems more legible. I also find them more comfortable for longer writing because I don't have to press the pen on the paper. It's more like its gliding across it.
I also like that they are refillable with pretty much any ink I want and that their refills come in glass bottles as opposed to metal or plastic cartridges that are just thrown away when empty. Of course there are plastic ink cartridges for fountain pens, I just don't use them.
Making it a hassle to circumvent the roadblocks can help make the undesired behavior less attractive to you in the moment or stop unconscious behavior.
For example, I sometimes open lemmy just with my muscle memory when I'm bored without even thinking about it, even though I know I've scrolled through pretty much all the current content I get in my feed already.
Moving the app icon around stops me from opening lemmy without actively thinking about it and therefore adds a (admittedly small) barrier to my bad behavior.
Adding a long and complex password that I would have to enter manually, as someone in the comments recommend, would probably make me rethink my actions even more. Do I really want to get out the password and be annoyed by having to type it out just to do this?
That's a good argument. I wasn't aware of the history of OpenWRT. For software I generally used the MIT license in the past, though I am now shying away from it given that it seems a bit too permissive in my opinion. I should probably research the GPL licenses a bit to figure out if one of those suits my needs.
I have designed a couple of things and whenever I publish them I make them CC BY-NC-SA. I don't think I have designed anything people would be interested in selling but I explicitly do not want people to mass produce and sell my stuff. There's already more than enough plastic in the world and the popularity of 3D printers and the amount of gimmicky models I have seen are not helping that issue
Depending on what router you use, setting up a VPN connection into your own home network may be the simplest solution and possibly also the most secure.
In germany at least, FritzBox seems to be the dominant router and they offer a very simple VPN setup which utilizes their own domain to initiate a connection.
I personally use a MikroTik router at home (still not sure if that was the best idea...) and they have a similar thing called Back To Home VPN. The Fritzbox gave me less trouble setting up though.
I feel like Python is sometimes too powerful in terms of what you can achieve with few lines of code. It tends to have lines that do a lot of things at once and therefore become very hard to understand despite not having a lot of code at the surface.
In my opinion it is very good for stuff like data analysis and scripting test setups, but (with my admittedly limited experience in the area) I dislike using it for larger applications. Because it is a scripting language and not compiled, I have run into errors that a compiled language would have detected before even starting. Meanwhile python was happy to run my program until it unfortunately branched into the defective path...
If you want to build stuff quickly it is incredibly what you can achieve with it though.
For phone <-> PC I use localsend. If I do PC to PC, possibly even large amounts of files or large files in general I put them on a network drive specifically intended for that purpose
I lost maybe 100-200 euros opening lootboxes in Counterstrike. Not at once but maybe 20 euros at a time. At some point I realized it didn't make any sense to continue buying them and I haven't spent money on microtransactions since.
I am aware of the compose key, I was just never a fan of it. I have it set up to replicate my previous autohotkey script on my laptop but I found that in some rare cases, pressing the next key for a word I am typing would change the letter from what I intended to something else.
Using the compose key like 'compose + " a' also feels unintuitive to me and introduces one more key for me to press, though I could likely get used to it with some effort.
The only issue I have is the lack of some utility which I can use to type my german umlauts using macros.
On windows I had an autohotkey script so that alt + a would become ä and so on.
I've tried a couple programs that work on wayland, but without success in getting them to work how I wanted. The last time I checked there were a couple promising candidates left that are explicitly not working on Wayland though.
One thing that always makes me think something is AI written is the repeated use of sentences like "It's not X, its Y".

Yes, that is unfortunately true. Better some protection than none at all though

Aren't there electronic drum sets for exactly that reason?
Every time I hear politicians advocating for more children I keep thinking "you want to put even more people on this earth to use up its resources?"
Surely having a few less humans around would be a good thing for the climate.
