@Y_M_Cinema No autofocus though (can't even add it later as the mount lacks the electrical pins), that's going to limit what creators can do with it.

Alma Linux is great. It's like Centos Linux, with a lot of extra steps unnecessarily made because of Red Hat.

Correction, it was a Camry hybrid, but still, that's not an XL car. That's a mid-sized sedan.

[tbourke @tbourke]

So last night I had a lot of luggage (skydiving is a gear-heavy sport) and ordered an XL from @lyft to get me from the airport to home.

A Toyota Prius showed up. I paid extra money for a medium sized sedan.

And I've been waiting for 2 hours in support chat.

@maurovidal I've been to that base.

That was a profoundly stupid flight in a single engine plane in the winter. Plus, I don't think there's piston engine fuel (avgas) at that base, only Jet A (which doesn't work on piston engines). How was he planning on going back?

@ImSoniya24 @EaracheEye @maria_avdv The easiest way for this war to end is for Russia to leave Ukraine.

@LarryECornell @BohuslavskaKate A supposed "near peer" advisory to the US has spent over 3 years trying to take over a small European country and hasn't come close to pulling it off (and just had a big % of their bombers taken out). They're not even in the same solar system as the word "glory".

I've done four episodes of a free Ansible for networking course: "Automating Network Configurations with Ansible 101" https://t.co/TgsH3pd7Zi

Next episode is live tomorrow at 10AM, and includes a Q&A. Ask what you want about Ansible and Networking!

[tbourke @tbourke]

Thursday, April 10th I'm starting my free class on using Ansible for Automating Network Configurations 101. It will be multiple days (Tuesdays and Thursdays) at 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern. Streamed live on Youtube.

@SwiftOnSecurity 5-6 years is my limit for a drive in an array.

@onedrive is such a piece of crap software. Despite telling it not to, it just grabbed all my Desktop files and moved it into onedive. I thought it deleted everything, but it just moved it. Now I'm trying to copy it back and it's taking forever and stalling on several files.

[tbourke @tbourke]

My main workstation was having various problems, mostly related to slowness. It got steadily worse over time and my troubleshooting couldn’t find any root causes. Until now.

Turns out the NVMe drive had heat damage.

@geerlingguy @eevblog The original Apple // had a fanless PSU because jobs was fanatical about it not having noise.

[tbourke @tbourke]

@geerlingguy Fun fact: what do a fridge and the space shuttle (and other orbital re-entry vehicles) have in common?

The compressor compresses a gas which heats it up, then lets it expand in the fridge and that cools.

On re-entry, most of the heat isn’t friction, but compression.

@denzilv @t3dotgg Usually needed if you've got a decent NAS setup. I've got a 50 TB NAS, and it would take forever to transfer 4K video files at 125 MB/s.

@VadimYuryev Small is nice, but I gotta wonder what kind of thermal compromises they might be making to shave off a few centimeters. I remember the trash can and the cube. Great lokkkng, but crippled by blind ambition.

@TheBillyWest The one in Portland is a 5 minute walk and one I've used in many elections (fortunately my ballot wasn't in it).

[tbourke @tbourke]

So someone set the ballot box I've used on fire.

My ballot wasn't in there fortunately, but FFS.
