  • Both! The back leg of the top shelf is also the back leg of the bench. The middle one is screwed into the frame for both the bench top and the lower shelf. The entire frame is both screwed and glued, with the tops just screwed in so they’re replaceable. Finally, I have a big L bracket at the top screwed into the wall to prevent tip over.

    I’m planning on putting a small lip on the top shelf to prevent the bins from falling down during small earthquakes.

  • What should I do with 2 old machines (Mac Mini and HP Pavilion g7)?

    Jump

  • If I had those, here's what I would do:

    First, for both an optional but nice quality of life improvement would be to replace the HDDs with SSDs. Boot up and file access times will be much snappier.

    Mac Mini

    Congratulations! You have a nice foundation for a home server running linux. You could plug in a USB RAID of some sort ( example) and go full pirate running the *arr stack. You could set it up as a HTPC using the IR receiver with Kodi and whatever adapter is needed for your TV. You could set up a developers server, running git and whatever tool you find useful. You could set up https://nextcloud.com/ and self host most of the necessities of modern productivity. Or all of the above.

    HP Pavilion G7

    Congratulations! You have a great dedicated low-distraction writing and working machine. I have a pair of similar, though slightly lower end, laptops. I got a replacement battery for one of them from Ali, and run a minimal Debian + i3 setup on it. It's great for taking with me to write, whether code, gaming notes, creative writing or whatever else. The modern web is pretty terrible on it, which takes away a ton of distractions, but still usable enough if I need it in a pinch. I also have it set up for music, both local mp3s and streaming from my home server. It also runs a ton of classic games through DOSBOX. My other one I use as a sandbox, testing out alternative OSs, weird setups and whatnot. I haven't upgraded its HDD or battery yet, but my older daughter is wanting to type more when writing due to being left handed, so I'm thinking about setting it up as a dedicated machine for her.

  • ;DR blame the dev

  • I've been an embedded developer for coming up on 20 years at this point, and recently went through a job hunt. Of the three that made it to the offer stage, two used Rust almost exclusively in their embedded stack and one used Rust in their embedded LInux stack and was trying to decide if they were going to use rust in their bare-metal/RTOS stack. I ended up at on of the Rust places, though I had no Rust experience. I have to say, while I do find many parts of the syntax too cute by half, in general I'm pretty happy with it as an embedded language. My current target architectures are ARM Cortex-M7 and Cortex-A53. In general toolchain, and debugger support has been good, peripheral support has been ok but could use improvement.

  • Taking a look at the bottom circuit, the killers on the left have the supply voltage across them, as does the resistive load. The ones on the right have fuck all going on, so may be a Magic Switch.

  • I do this pretty regularly, with a default order. First is a simple guess the number game, then I update it to hangman. After that is either pong or minesweeper. Depending on what I’m learning that should be enough, or I can extend them in some way, such as multi-window pong or turning minesweeper into network battleship.

  • how to defend against embrace & extinguish?

    Jump

  • This has been considered by the Linux community literally since the day Linus first announced his kernel on Usenet. The primary defense is the GPL and related licenses which legally protect against that kind of abuse by forcing derived works to also be opened under the same license.

    This is why, as much as I support the general idea of uutils, I’m deeply suspicious the it is under a MIT license instead of the GPL.

  • Huh, I had never considered deaf slang before. Is there somewhere to read up on this?

  • 10 cents for every message was robbery

    Jump

  • Basically, yes. In the olden days, cell phones sent a ping at least once a minute to the nearest tower, and sometimes more often. The tower would respond with a similar message. There was a 140 character field in the ping that could be used for a variety of diagnostics and network controls. That field was also used for text messaging and so was pretty much free for the providers, other than the very small amount of general network backhaul overhead of sending that message to another phone. Charging for texts was a hell of a rip off.

  • Reccommending a Linux distro for a friend

    Jump

  • Just install Mint. Honestly, “gamer” Linux is a pretty silly concept. You can install Steam and Lutris on any distro which gets you access to basically all modern PC gaming. Even something as slow to embrace change as Debian has recent enough drivers and kernels available.

  • It has all of the typical YT influencer bullshit. "Wait 'till then end", slightly faster than normal speech, reaction memes, overly long descriptions of things in order to pad in more time for ads, flat out ads in the middle, etc.

    My old person trait is that I'd rather spend five minutes reading an article than 15 minutes watching a video.

  • Home Depot in LA installs noise machines that ‘penetrate bones’ to deter day laborers

    Jump

  • On the other hand, the city put up signs years ago near the HD nearest me to point out where the day labor gathering place is, as well as some car barriers to keep them from getting hit. As far as I can tell it’s worked out pretty well. Next time I need to move more stuff than my back will allow I’m planning on hiring someone.

  • They’ve gotten cheap, in fact, that the panels are sometimes less expensive than the labor and mounting hardware.
